Follow me

I cannot believe today is my 25th birthday. It’s so crazy that I’m a 1/4 of a century old. I got my learners permit 10 years ago! Woah. In honor of my birthday, I wanted to share 25 things I’ve learned in my life. A lot of things are prevalent over the past year or two. I hope you all enjoy!

  1. If someone wants to be apart of your life, they’ll put forth the effort. If they don’t put in effort; they don’t care.
  2. Communication is everything
  3. I will never regret time spent in the word, in prayer in worship.
  4. Fueling your body with Whole Foods really makes you feel so much better
  5. My style can be anything I want. I can be preppy, girly, edgy
  6. Work nights are for relaxing and recharging. I can’t do it all.
  7. I never regret time reading.
  8. Working out makes me feel soooo good. Like I dread going but always love the feeling my when I’m done
  9. You can’t be a super wife and do it all. Ask for help.
  10. Being comfortable in your clothes is the #1 requirement
  11. Chocolate a day keeps the crazy away.
  12. Bras without an underwire are a genius invention.
  13. Treat your skin well. You’ll have it forever.
  14. There’s always something to be done.
  15. Don’t take my life for granted. Tomorrow could bring a pandemic you have no clue. Everything could change in a minute.
  16. Getting ready hair and makeup and a cute outfit makes my whole day so much better.
  17. Invest in quality pieces I’ll use forever.
  18. Kindness is essential. You never know what others are going through so spreading love and kindness is best for all.
  19. Coffee is gross. Stop trying to like it.
  20. The best moments are when I’m in the moment.
  21. Take pictures of everything 🥰 you’ll never regret it.
  22. Invest in your business and be confident in it.
  23. Fill yourself with what you want to reflect. What you put in is what comes out.
  24. There is so much power in prayer.
  25. Time with my family is always the best time.

XOXO,

#WeddingWednesday Why Engagement Sucks

Follow me


Engagement is such a weird time. We decided to do a “short” engagement. Our engagement is a total 5 and 1/2 months. Which I think is on the shorter end of most engagements. I honestly have no earthly idea why people wait longer than that. That seems miserable.

The beginning of engagement was super exciting. We were securing vendors, locations, trying on dresses and deciding what we wanted our day to be like. All of these things are super exciting and a lot of fun to plan. It’s finally planning the day you have always dreamed about and pulling off everything from your Pinterest board you started when you were 15. 

This process was sped up super quick considering I knew all the vendors I wanted for our wedding since November. So our process was pretty much just putting down deposits.

After we had all of our vendors locked down things started to straight line a little bit. Ever since it feels like we’re just waiting for like three months for the wedding.

So waiting is the worst. We’ve been j chillin waiting for our wedding day to show up. And it is quite frankly annoyinggggggg. 

Another thing that sucks about engagement season is that we’re making all these big decisions for our life, but we’re doing them 30 miles apart via phone calls.  And making big decisions when you’re not with each other just creates room for miscommunication. I am beyond ready to be in person all the time and not talk on the phone.

Here we are 30 days away from the wedding!!!!
We are both oh so ready.
Now is crunch time… everything is coming together and the wedding stress of making sure everything is planned and everything is paid for is all happening now. It’s a lot. Now we’re still 30 miles apart trying to keep track of every detail.

phew. wedding planning ain’t no joke.
and engagement season is really just when the devil attacks your relationship the most.
We’re almost there and I am so so ready to be married to JAcob.
He’s the best.

How did you/are you surviving engagement season????

XOXO,
E.

My Dress:


This past weekend my sweet maid of honor, Meredith threw the best shower for me. It was filled with friends and family and lots of smiles. We snacked on brunch food and the best homemade cookies ever. There were games, mimosas, lots of pictures and I was showered with gifts for Jacob & I. I loved seeing everyone come together in one place. I had all my bridesmaids in one place for the first time!

I wish it could have lasted longer! It made me more and more excited for the wedding day!!! 

August hurry up! But until then… i’ll start putting all of our new goodies away in our new home and start decorating!! I’m pumped!

XOXO,
