When people ask what I do, I always get kinda stuck. “Property Management” is easy to explain on paper but the day to day craziness is impossible for many to comprehend unless you’ve been there. I have come to the point where I just tell people I’m an ‘RA for adults’. That usually gets the Read more

Fun fact about me: I lead a bible study/small group of soon to be 9th grade girls. In 6th grade, after going through a biblical dating series, I had them write down their ideal husband so as to show them years later how ridiculous their versions of the perfect man were. I was going through them a Read more

As of today, Joe and I have been married 50 days…. woohoo! Though 50 days is a really short amount of time, we’ve learned a ton. And since everyone keeps asking me “How’s married life?”, I figured I’d tell you how it’s going and what we’ve learned thus far: 1. Marriage is Awesome. I get to start Read more

As many of y’all know, Joe and I had chosen to save our first kiss until our wedding day. And I’m sure y’all are wondering: now that we’re married, do I think it was worth it?

Now that I’m on the planning side of things, I’ve noticed something: The modern wedding has taken the Read more

Today may just seem like an ordinary Monday. But not to me. Today is the day I take my last anti-anxiety pill. MY LAST PILL. Last July, I sat in the doctor’s office as she explained the side effects of escitalopram. I remember sitting there desperate. My panic attacks had become more frequent and I would wake Read more

No, I’m not writing about Frozen. In fact, when I first decided to write a post, I went on a tangent about politics. It’s sitting in my draft file. But after thinking about it, I realized that I am becoming quite the cynic. I am a very passionate person and get very heated when talking about Read more

I can’t believe it! It’s been 6 months since I committed to not buying any clothes for a year! What started as a quest to spend less money has turned into a lifestyle change. Though I’m only half way through the year, I have found these last few months to be very rewarding (and not Read more

Padded rooms. Drooling mouths. Heads banging on walls. These are the images that come to mind when someone mentions mental disorders. We can’t help replaying Ken Kesey’s portrayal of life in a mental asylum in our heads. And who can blame us? Mental disorders are greatly misunderstood by our society. I’d like to shed some Read more
