A Week Away*
Ooooh my lovelies. It’s been quite a week. Let’s catch up a little, shall we? As I hit the send button on my last post the Hubster and I flew out the door to head off to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. It was everything I imagined it would be and more. I can’t quite explain the effect that beautiful harmonies have on me, but this choir just moves me. I was crying before they even finished singing their first song–which was completely embarrassing because we sat right next to the soprano section and one of the women actually glanced over and smiled at me while I was crying. haha…

On Turning 26*
Today is my 26th birthday. I was nervous about turning 26–it just seemed to make adulthood so… official. I remember my 16th birthday so vividly; how is it even possible that it’s been 10 years? Ten glorious years. I realized today that I have absolutely no regrets, and the future holds so much promise. Today I decided not look at 26 with anxiety, but with anticipation. I have a feeling that 26 is going to be an exciting year for me. We are now homeowners and are continually progressing in our careers. I have the best niece and nephew that anyone could ask for, and my family continues to amaze…

Thrifty Thursday: Shorts & Shirts*
Thank you. I so appreciated all your words of advice and support regarding my last post. Many of you expressed an interest in wanting to know how I handled the situation, and after a lot of thought, I decided to let it go. Should I have said something to this person? Maybe. But I thought it would probably cause way more trouble than it’s worth. If they read my last post and even felt an uncomfortable twinge thinking that it may be them, then I’m good with that. If not… meh. Not worth my time. ANYWAY. I am officially on summer holidays!!!!!! Let us pause for a moment and reflect…

What Would You Do?
I really don’t think that I’m someone who is easily offended. I am generally able to let things slide off my back and accept that sometimes things are said in a moment that aren’t a true reflection of a person’s opinion or feelings toward me. I also always try to look for the best in people, and I am so aware of how my words and actions affect others, almost to a fault. I will bend over backwards to apologize and accommodate if I think that I’ve hurt someone. I don’t feel it’s my business to get involved in someone else’s personal decisions or business without being explicitly asked. Of…

Love & Marriage*
What. a. day. I just got home from a lovely wedding. My cousin got married today, and I made the long trek across the city to go and see her in her beautiful white dress. I left here early so that I could stop and have brunch with two long-time friends on the way. I hadn’t seen either one in years–one since my wedding!–and it was so good to see them both. I know that our lives have taken us in different directions, but it was so good to sit down and catch up. Sometimes I really forget just how amazing my friends are, and I’m glad they are still…
