In honor of national Puppy Day a couple days ago, Abby and I decided to spend the day together. Can I just say how beautiful this was? We went on her favorite walk and it couldn't have been more perfect.
Thanks for stopping by!

I usually dress like this for everyday wear. Like most people, I am typically busy and like to be dressed nice, but practical. This bag allows me to carry everything I need for the day (ie laptop)! I got my first pair of Keds about six months ago and they have quickly become my favorite pair of shoes. They go with almost anything and are so ridiculously comfy.
Let me know if you want me to do a what's in my bag post!

I got this crop top last summer at the end of the season, so this was my first time getting to wear it! My pants are actually a jumpsuit from Target that I also wear as pants. These are one of my favorite pairs of earrings from Kendra Scott. This day was so beautiful out, I went for a walk and decided to hammock!

Hey guys!
I just got home from Spring Break on Sunday and I wanted to share it with you all! My boyfriend and I decided we wanted to take a road trip to Canada. I had never been out of the country before so I was very excited! Along the way we stopped at some amazing sights. I included some photos from my favorite stops!
My first favorite was a State Park in Virginia. They had wild ponies there! You couldn't touch them or feed them, but they loved coming up really close to us. You can see the photo of my boyfriend photographing the ginger pony, which was his favorite. My next favorite stop was at Cucumber Falls in Pennsylvania. The waterfall was covered in ice! We were able to climb all around it, and it was gorgeous. My last favorite stop was in Canada! Unfortunately, my camera was not working while we were there, but it was gorgeous! We used Airbnb to get a house in walking distance from Niagara Falls. Canada was also having a snowstorm while we were there. We only stayed one night and got almost 3ft of snow. It was also hard to see Niagara Falls because there were white out conditions, but I still loved it.
The way we camped was by borrowing his parents Expedition. We knew it was going to be cold on the trip and didn't want to camp in the cold, so the car provided us with enough room to actually put a mattress in the back. It was extremely comfortable. We made a chart and each night found free or cheap places to camp. In Pennsylvania, we knew the snowstorm was supposed to start, so we got an impromptu hotel room and stayed up watching The Bachelor finale.
For food, we prepared before we left. Both he and I are gluten free for medical reasons, so we had to find mostly nonperishable foods that accommodated that. For breakfast I usually had a larabar. Sometimes I would also stop and get coffee. For lunch, we brought a variety of gluten free bread and a cooler with sandwich meat and mayo. Once we ran out of that we made PB&J sandwiches. For dinner, we would use his camping gear and cook things like oatmeal, mashed potatoes, or prepackaged meals. We also made a couple of stops at Waffle House.
A couple of mishaps happened on the trip. The first that happened the check engine light started flashing while I was driving. We took it to a car care place and they informed us that the third engine coil had broken and had to be changed immediately before we could continue driving. It was late at night and we were in an unfamiliar place. Our solution was to watch a YouTube video on how to replace the part. After about 2 hours we finally had it fixed!
The next mishap was while driving up a very steep incline where the road was not salted and there was a thick layer of ice and snow, the four wheel drive decided not to engage. We had another car behind us and our car started sliding backwards. We ended up having to break down backwards and let them pass. After that, we were able to play with the four wheel drive and get it working.
It was such an incredible trip and I will definitely be revisiting a lot of these places!

Today I am sharing with you guys a look at 2017 so far (and a little bit from December)!
To start off, my boyfriend and I attended my sorority's formal. It was a gorgeous evening and we had a great night of friends and fun.
I spent the beginning of my Christmas break in Utah! It was so beautiful and I had never been before. We stayed in Moab and went to some of the national parks out there.
The first photo is of Delicate Arch. The photo does not do it justice. Through the arch, you could see snowy mountains. The second photo is of my boyfriend and I. Did I mention it was cold?? I don't particularly like the cold, so I was very bundled up the whole trip.
This is a photo of me and my sorority sister Kayla. We had a successful recruitment this spring and I couldn't be happier!
I spent a long weekend in Tennessee and this is photo of me on one of the mountains. It was so gorgeous and a great way to spend the weekend.
I don't have photos of it yet, but for my boyfriend and I's one year anniversary we went to some of the springs in Florida. I couldn't believe how beautiful they were! I even got to see a manatee. We canoed down one of the streams with the springs and were able to get right next to it. A couple who were further down the river apparently got to see a school of otters, which I thought was so cool!
Until next time!

This weekend I had the honor of being chosen as my boyfriend's fraternity's dream girl. It was such a surprise! My very best friend took me out to dinner while they got ready. After that, she took me back to our campus and walked me to where they were waiting. It was such a beautiful ceremony and a moment I'll never forget!
