5 Reasons I Love Baltimore

I have lived in Baltimore my whole life aside from my four years at Virginia Tech. I will be honest, I haven't always loved my hometown. But ever since going away to college and spending some time outside of Baltimore, I can honestly say I, quite passionately, love it here! I think Baltimore is wonderful for more than five reasons, but currently these are my top five.

What's Up Wednesday

Happy What's Up Wednesday! I love reading everyone's What's Up Wednesday and I am excited to post my own (and reflect on past Wednesdays in the future). Without further adieu... 

My Morning Routine

I have shared before about a day in my life but I wanted to share my morning routine. I love seeing other's daily routines and I am pretty happy with mine currently, aside from the fact that I can never seem to get to work by 7am. I love finding new efficiencies but I also love not being rushed in the morning! I don't like going to work stressed so I definitely "piddle" (Sam's word haha) in the morning, but I am okay with that!

The Weekender + What We Ate

my beautiful family

This weekend was hard but also wonderful. We travelled to the small town in Virginia where my Dad grew up to celebrate the life of my great uncle.

Lessons I've Learned

Lessons I've Learned

Once a month I wanted to recap lessons I have learned. I want to be intentional about learning more about God and life in general. I don't want to forget the things I have been learning. I learn so much from other bloggers and I hope this can be the start of us learning from each other!

Show & Tell Tuesday: What Makes Me "Me"

Show & Tell Tuesday: What Makes Me "Me"

one of my favorite pictures of me!

Today I'm linking up with Momfessionals for Show & Tell Tuesday! I am excited about today's prompt because my blog is still pretty new and I want to introduce myself more to you! I also want to know what makes you "you"!

the King Crab crew

This weekend was the Baltimore Running Festival! This was our final half marathon of the year (out of 3 plus a 10 miler) and I was very happy to be done. Honestly this whole year hasn't been a great year for running. I haven't put much effort into running. Now that wedding festivities are done and we have settled into our home I am determined to up my weekly mileage and get a PR next year!

Our Dating Story

Our Dating Story

the night we met. we went to a bar with friends celebrating our birthdays with shots.

I wanted to share some highlights from our story with y'all so first - our dating story. I shared some on my introduction about how we met. We started dating about three months after we met and dated for just under three years before we got married. Our individual stories leading up to when we started dating are full of very similar timings (started dating other people around the same time, dated them for similar lengths of time, broke up around the same time, etc.) that I see how God was bringing our stories together. 

Stranded Island - Halloween Candy

Stranded Island - Halloween Candy

Today I am joining the link up with Shay and Erika for their monthly "stranded island" post. Today's prompt - if I was stranded on an island what three kinds of Halloween candy would I want with me?

The Weekender + What We Cooked

This week was so full and so beautiful! We celebrated the final #sweet16 wedding (2 of my best friends and bridesmaids and I all got married this year!) this weekend and it was wonderful! We celebrated MaryBeth and gosh she and Chris are so loved! They are two people who are full of joy and always serving and loving their friends, family and community. It was so great to celebrate them with so many people whose lives they've impacted in beautiful ways! Also, isn't my wedding date just the most handsome guy?!

What I'm Reading : September

Looking back at my Goodreads account it took me two months to read Voyager. Yikes! But since finishing Voyager the last week of September I've read two more books! I have 18 of my 25 books read for the year so I am just about on track to meet my goal! 

Our New Fall Traditions

Our New Fall Traditions

This fall will be our first full season as husband and wife and I definitely want holiday and seasonal traditions to be a priority in our family! Fall always make me a little sad because I love summer and I do not enjoy the cold(er) weather, but fall also has my favorite holiday (Thanksgiving), shoes (riding boots), drink (red wine) and decor (Christmas!). 

The Weekender + What We Cooked

In addition to a summary of my weekend I also want to include new recipes we ate the week before. I want to remember what we are eating and I would love to share recipes we have enjoyed with y'all.

This weekend Sam went to a friend's wedding in Mississippi and I went to Ocean City with two friends. The weather wasn't sunny but at least it was warm!

October Goals

October Goals

I love goals, I love everyone's goal posts, I love PowerSheets (the 2017 set is going to be released November 1st, I cannot wait!). I cannot believe it's already October! I have been slacking on my PowerSheets the last few months with the wedding, honeymoon and moving but I am determined to finish the year strong! 

Let's do this! I want to encourage each other throughout the month.
