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,

What My First Year Post Grad Taught Me

Follow me


Hey Hey friends!!!
Let’s get reaaaal.

I really cannot believe I graduated college over a year ago. College was truly the best years of my life and I could never express my gratitude more.

This past year has been a complete whirlwind. For your whole life you and all of your friends are in the same stage of life.. school.. school and more school. Then boom you graduate. My friends were still in undergrad, going to grad school, getting real jobs, not getting real jobs.. everyone was all over the place. I think it’s so difficult because you go from such a high for four years, especially at the end with so many celebrations and exciting events, to sitting at home on your mom’s couch.

Personally, I did not start my job until 6 weeks after graduation and got the offer that same week. Those 6 weeks were so challenging. I moved home because I didn’t have a job at school to support myself anymore, so I was broke and I needed my parents to feed me lol but rly. During that time I was still trying to live my life in Clemson as much as I could while also being psycho about applying for jobs and interviewing as much as I could. I felt like a failure because I was poor, jobless and friendless (I had friends just none at home). It was such a fun time….. sike…

Eventually, I got my job and I thought things would be better… nah
Adulting is just hard… 

This is what I learned my first year as an “adult”

1. Not having homework is seriously the best.

2. God is faithful and He will always provide.
I hate that I always doubt this and don’t always see it. He comes through every time.

3. Learning a new job is tough.

4. People are mean.

5. It’s okay to not be okay.
It’s funny how God has to teach me the same lesson several times to finally understand.

6. Everyone has a different path.

7. Save ur $$$ but still having a spending budget.

8. Fight to make friends. You really need them where you’re at, at least one or two.

9. The adjustment from college to adulting is hard.

Until next time.

XOXO,
E.

#WeddingWednesday Dress Shopping!

Follow me
Hey Hey Friends!!!

Of course one of the first things you think of when you get engaged is wedding dress shopping!!!
It’s THE dress we all dream about our entire lives.+ since I go for my fitting next week I thought I should tell you about my dress shopping process. It’s funny looking back growing up at all the different style of dresses I wanted throughout the years, but I’ve been pretty set on the type of style I wanted since high school. If you would have asked me in elementary school what I wanted to look like I 100% would have said just like Belle bc she is the best princess of course.


I went dress shopping a week after we got engaged on my 23rd birthday! I knew the style I wanted but went in with an open mind and wanted to try lots of options just to make sure I knew what I wanted. 

spoiler: I bought the first dress I tried on.

BUT

I did continue looking but I kept referring everything back to the first dress. 

I am so stinkin excited to wear it.

I cannot wait to share more info on it with you all after the big day!!

XOXO,
E.
