This past weekend I turned 29! I love having a reason to get together with people and celebrate! Since I can't have you all over to my house to celebrate with me, I thought I'd take the chance to introduce myself a little more right here on the blog! 

A Few Things About Me:

• I LOVE coffee and all breakfast foods. (Including pop-tarts)

• My husband and I got married about a year and a half ago! (January 25, 2014)

• I originally studied interior design before going back to school for a graphic design degree.

• Cumming, GA is where I grew up...then I moved to Athens, GA for college...and then to Charleston, SC after college graduation.

• My current favorite book is The Insanity of God by Nik Ripken.

• I get excited talking about entrepreneurship and small businesses.

• I could spend a lot of time in West Elm, Banana Republic, Anthropologie, and Hobby Lobby. :)

• When there is free time, I prefer to be outside.

• I love community. I think that strong friendships are a great treasure.

• A perfect evening for me would probably involve an outdoor concert under the stars. (Preferably a Need to Breathe concert).

• My favorite aspect of interior design is fabric selection.

• I think coffee mugs are one of the greatest gifts. They are so functional, and every time you use them, you think of the person who gave it to you!

• One of the many things I've learned in marriage is the need to makes things right when you hurt someone. Forgiveness is huge. I've also learned how freeing marriage is!

• My desire is to serve Jesus.

• Given the choice, I'd rather bake than cook.

• At times, I can be a perfectionist...I have to be careful about it! :)

• One of my favorite things about the fall season is Georgia football.

• It is really hard for me to say no to sugar...especially doughnuts!

• I love getting one-on-one time with people.

• I definitely believe in being silly!

• I love that I get to do graphic design for a living!...let me know if you need anything designed!
