Christmas is around the corner and as we all know, giving is so much sweeter than receiving. This year, I wanted to do something special- though I wasn’t sure how or what. I’ve been giving a lot of thought lately to this gift I’ve been blessed with, to be able to do what I love. […]

from the man who changed the way we live life.

getting ready. it’s one of my favorite parts of a wedding day. there is so much anticapation surrounding this big day and the unspoken knowledge that “it’s finally here” fills the room. lots of giggling and popping open bottles of champagne and you can just FEEL the excitement in the air. how smoothly the “getting […]
