Five years ago in Camden, South Carolina, Ryan and I met at the Carolina Cup Steeplechase. Ryan is from Camden, so we always go back every year with a group of friends and stay on Lake Wateree at his place. Our first photo together under the tent in the pouring rain – Carolina Cup 2009! PS: The handsome creeper in the background ended up being

I heart Hunter boots! Image cred: Molly & Kate Ok, really though, who doesn’t!? I’ve owned the classic green pair for a lifetime, but they were really starting to wear. Oh and did I mention, they were also kids size because I have itty feet. They were therefore always too short and I yearned for the day when I would get a nice, new, tall

Every Monday I get together with a group of girls at my house to nosh on munchies, sip on wine and indulge in the never classy, always trashy TV that is The Bachelor. We even turned it into a game and our two teams, “Juan Direction” and “Don’t You Juan-t Me, Baby?” play against each other (recap of the rules to come soon!).This past week

Steak. You love it, you’re kinda meh about it or it grosses you out. I was in the last category up until I met my husband and fell gloriously in love with the deliciousness he would create from steak. (oh and him, yeah I fell gloriously in love with him too!) So what was it about Ry guy’s steaks that converted me? A little love

We recently ventured to the Eastern Shore for the first time to visit the little town of Cape Charles. It was such a beautiful place and we’re super excited Mom may be looking to have a place there and be closer to us!!!! While on that side of Virginia, we stopped by a home store that’s called Southeastern Salvage in South Carolina, but in Virginia is

Happy Valentine’s Day! I’m a mush, I have to admit, I love this day! It may be because the amount of pink pretties, stationary, lourve, and oh yeah, chocolate, is out of control! Gah I love it! One of my New Years resolutions was to send more mail. Not email, not texts, not Facebook messages… real mail. So I scoured my favorite stationary sources and

Drink every time I say “Super”! Just kidding. But really, we’ve all said it, how lame was that Super Bowl?! Even though I was hoping the game was going to be much more exciting, we at least had our pre-game goodies to amp us up. It also helped that overnight we decided we were Seahawk fans, an undeniably fun and exciting team. This happened for

I’ve decided to just skip the OMGs / #lazyblogger comments and jump into the New Year fresh (including an evolving new blog look)! Here’s a little recap of where we left off… We’ve been loving our new jobs, RVA and had a great time wrapping up our 2013 and beginning 2014! I’ll start this recap like I like to start my day. With donuts. These beauts

On this SO Obsessed Sunday I’m having a little obsession with finding my strengths and enjoying my weaknesses. This past week marked my first week at my new job. One of my tasks was to read and take the Strengths Finder test by Tom Rath and Gallup Press. The purpose of this reading and test is to show that people are much more effective when they, and

Ohhhhhhh this is a good one y’all! On this SO Obsessed Sunday I’m recapping a little bit of fun we had this weekend, all thanks to some quick thinking and a little spontaneity. Ryan and I were just saying how we miss the spontaneous trips and mini adventures that we would so frequently take in college. Granted, we had a lot more time on our
