Autumn & Jerry

On Monday, the 9th of August, my Granny turned 95. We celebrated a day early, with cake, other sweet treats, and lots of family. She is an amazing woman, and is as graceful and gentle as they come. I love you, Granny, and happy birthday. Many more to come! <3

While I see a lot of sadness at work, I am a very fortunate person otherwise to have lost a fairly small number of people that were truly close to my core. I lost my grandfather when I was still a bit too young to really understand what was going on. Losing my cousin, Kraig, [...]

Forster, textbooks of the Sociology, World Lit, & Biology variety, Coastal Living magazine, J’s blog, and this blog for some great running inspiration. watching: The Marriage Ref, American Idol (yeah, yeah…I resisted for years but got hooked!), music videos (my constant love), The Office, Tosh.0, and a stream of Netflix.

We got up early and braved the rain to grab some coffee & do some shopping in Savannah before making our way to our second destination, the lovely city of Charleston. The weather was far from perfect, but in truth it didn’t slow us down much at all. With Starbucks in hand (piping hot Awake [...]

Today we will celebrate three years of marriage. I hope to enjoy many, many more! Dear J, Things just keep getting better, and I love the life we are building. Thank you for all that you do and for all that you don’t do. Thank you for standing up for what you believe in and [...]

Wednesday, May 20th, marks our third wedding anniversary. Last year, we celebrated our special date in Siesta Key, FL – an amazing trip in a beautiful piece of paradise! The year before that, we took a motorcycle trip along the Blue Ridge Parkway to honor our first year of marriage. This year, we will celebrate [...]

Thanks to a current Flickr Blog spotlight, last night I noticed some cool photo features that were obviously from Las Vegas. After a closer look, I discovered that they were all taken in a place called the Neon Boneyard which is a collection of historic signs that have been saved from destruction. So cool – [...]
