SIL's Weding

My sister in law was married this past weekend in Savannah, Georgia. Thank the Lord above her wedding was inside because it was H-O-T! Minus the smoldering weather, her wedding was gorgeous. We had a blast.

I loved sharing in her special day. Jeffrey and I have been together for ten years so although I am not blood related, his family has always made me feel like one of their own.

His cousins are my cousins and his aunts and uncles are some of my absolute favorite people. I do not have grandparents on this Earth so his grandma has gladly taken their place while they are in heaven.























I am very blessed. Spending time together is always a blast and the best part was that my parents and brother were there too! Congratulations Jessica and Andy, it was a perfect day, here are to many more perfect days in your future!

Friday Five... The BEST needs for this Summer!

The BEST needs for this Summer!

1. Tory Burch Sandals: If you have been following my Blog then you know I have been obsessed with these for a long time. They are so classic. I would love a pair of these for Summer! 

I still have my eye on these beauties. 

 2. Serena and Lily Turkish Beach Towel: A coworker got one of these as her end of the year gift. I loved it so much, I decided to use one of my gift cards to purchase it for my days by the pool! I am SO excited for it to arrive. You can purchase your own here.
They are 20% off with the code: HEREWEGO

I just purchased this for Summer and I cannot wait to get it!

3. Blue Lizard Sun Screen: I am fair skinned so sun screen is a MUST for me. I love this brand. Not only is it all natural but it protects my skin and doesn't leave an oily residue behind.

Best all-natural sun screen.

4. Longchamp Bag and any Pom-Pom Tote: I recently purchased this Longchamp bag for my trips ahead. I do not want my leather fossil purse traveling and getting wet because that will ruin the leather. I decided a waterproof bag was a necessity to carry through airports, Texas, and rainy Ireland. Although the pom-pom tote is not a necessity, it is so cute! I love anything with pom-poms. One of my goals this Summer is to make a DIY pom-pom tote attachment.

I have grand plans of making a DIY pom pom attachment!

5. Jergen's Natural Glow Self Tanner: I use this all Summer long to help smooth tan lines and give my skin an even Summer glow. I apply this every night before I go to bed. I have been using this brand for years. There is no streaking, it doesn't bleed onto everything you touch, and it doesn't turn your skin orange. It is magical.

I LOVE THIS MAGICAL STUFF

What are your Summer must haves?

UGLY CRY

Last week, I ugly cried. Full on sobbing, convulsing ugly cry. It was humbling and amazing all at the same time. I have been an emotional basket case. I wrapped up my fifth year teaching, I am preparing for my sixth year and second year at the best school in the Southeast, Jeffrey missed his flight for the first time since he started his new job, and I am loving life on the island and the new friends God has gifted me with. I was feeling ALL THE FEELS. I was so full of joy and love that I sat in my car alone and cried. At one point I even yelled, "I AM SO EMOTIONAL!". Now, that's a good cry and hysterical all at the same time.

Sometimes all you need is a good, thank you Lord for this life cry. After my ugly cry scene was over I felt rejuvenated. All I have to say is, it's okay to cry and sometimes you need a good, ugly cry. So grab your box of tissues, and let it all out.
