Savor your tan lines

The past two weekends  I have been laying out. Being blessed with brown skin, a tan has never been a problem. (Sorry white girls) I have been trying to be skin conscious due to wrinkles and skin cancer, but after one day of Sun... I can't get over  my tan lines.

 I love them. 

I've missed them. 

So since  summer is coming to a close...girls....savor your tan lines.

Best advice I've ever recieved

 

Blogtember Day 3 - Pass on some useful advice or information you learned and always remembered.

 

I remember it like it was yesterday. It was the homecoming highschool footbal game where i ran into my old principal. We chatted and caught up about how I was doing in college, and I told her about my struggles with my major. I had originally gone to college for criminal justice. i wanted to be a homicide detective. She told me no matter what I decided to do, switch my major, or stay in it, that everyday when I go to work, I have to love what I do. Other wise, it would make it seriously hard to get up in the morning. Then she told me if I ever wanted to be a teacher, I would always have a job at my old highschool. That next year- I came home and enrolled in design school and that summer i met my husband. I never had a doubt in my mind after that chat. I was in the wrong major. Thank you, Mrs. Merriman for helping me make one of the best desicions I've ever made.

Three months off, sure will // a giveaway

 

Blogtember Day 2: If you could take three months off from your current life and do anything in the world, what would you do?

 

I know that the majority of people will instantly say "I would travel the world." I honestly would love to travel, But realistically, I'd wish I had done something else.

I would take the time to start and polish the kick off of my own residential design firm. I have always played with the idea of starting my own company as a side gig. Something to keep me busy, to flex my creative muscles, and to make a little extra money on the side. My heart will always yearn for designing things that have my name on it from start to finish. Although I am slowly but surely in the process of starting my own business, I would take those three months to plan, advertise, and design. Starting with my own house, then slowly start to build clientle.

Two years ago, I married this man. The best and easiest descision I have ever made. No matter what life throws at us, I know he will always be at my side.

 

You have made me stronger, and love deeper than I ever thought possible. I know our life isn't perfect, and I'm still learning to embrace that. As I told you once before, you are rooted in my soul...and you always will be. You are my home, my heart, and my life.

Thank you for being you.

 

I love you Handsome.

Happy Anniversary
