Now that the wedding and honeymoon are officially over and married life is just starting, I feel like I can finally sit down and recap it all. The wedding was the best day of my entire life, and I don’t think I will ever forget one moment of it. Following our wedding, our London honeymoon was literally incredible.
Hello spring break! I have been on spring break mode since Friday afternoon when I had the day off work and Preston and I headed west to Nashville for the weekend.

Saying I love Charlotte is an understatement. It has to be one of my favorite cities ever, and every time I visit I find myself loving it more. My family has been going to one Carolina Panthers game a year for almost 15 years now, and we have become fans of the team and the city. This year’s trip to Charlotte was for a different team. Our favorite UTK Volunteers played West Virginia in the Belk College Kickoff in the Panthers stadium.Read more
When I was getting ready to leave for Italy, one thing I could not get off my mind was souvenirs! I was so anxious about finding the perfect gifts and trinkets for all my friends and family.

Ciao friends!! I am writing this on July 2nd, the night after the first Palio of the year. I have never seen anything like this event, and I had definitely never heard of it before coming to Siena for the summer. I wanted to do a blog post about this race in case anyone loves learning about historical things as much as I do! I also don’t want to forget anything that happened today, because it was honestly one of the neatest experiences I have ever had.Read more
A little background- I packed for six weeks in a Tuscany summer in a carry on sized suitcase and a backpack! I am staying in a bed and breakfast, so I have access to towels, hair dryers, etc. which helped me bring less!Read more
