Large Gingham

 

I ordered this dress about a month ago, and I was so excited to have found it because I’m obsessed with anything gingham print.  I had originally ordered it to wear it for fourth of July but it was a wee bit big on me and I had decided to get it tailored.  Little did I know that it would take a month to get back {grrr, still bitter}.  Then, when I finally get it back, I realize it’s see through. So, I go on a hunt for a slip.   Do you know how hard it is to find a slip?  Pretty hard.  I felt like I was in the 60’s wearing it, but I’d rather people not see my bod underneath.  Of course, by time I get the dress back and finally find a slip so my britney doesn’t show, everybody and their mothers have the dress.  #sigh.  We’ll just have to ignore that part.

 When we were taking these pictures, I knew I shouldn’t have put perfume on until after the shoot, but I had forgotten per uje {usual}.  Every mosquito was trying to attack me– I kid you not.  It was awful.  I even saw one on my foot who had the guts to bite me TWICE while I was watching him.  WHO DOES THAT?  No respect at all.

In other strange news, last night, a couple of my friends came over to learn how to do my smoky eye makeup.  Yes, you heard that correctly.  I went through my routine step by step.  My friend, Autumn, even took notes {what a good little student}.  But then again, this was Autumn’s second attempt at learning the routine…she didn’t take notes the first time and completely forgot how to do everything.  GRACE PERIOD IS OVER Y’ALL.  {Granted, I did teach her the first time on Spring Break last year and we had bigger things to worry about, like which kind of sangria to make}.  The worst part was definitely teaching my winged eyeliner…it kinda comes with time and practice.

…I’m pretty sure these were their words when I took off my makeup, “Grace has a zit?”.  Yes, y’all, I get zits too…I just know how to cover them up.   #rude

10/27/18 Mr. & Mrs. White

There’s not a day that goes by when I don’t feel so blessed to be Jordan’s wife. He is my everything. These photos and video are the sweetest reminder of our love for one another. So, grab a cup of coffee, pull up a seat, and try not to bawl your eyes out (because I know we did). Every time we look through our photos and watch our video, we cry the happiest tears.

The Proposal

It’s crazy what can happen in a year. I met the love of my life and the rest is history. I was having a hard time ending this post, because frankly, I think I could talk about that evening forever. Then I realized that this post doesn’t have an ending, but instead, a beginning. Thank you so much for all of the love, excitement, and gratitude.

Dark Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

One of my favorite things to do in the fall is bake my dark chocolate chip pumpkin bread! I’ve made it *so* many times for me, J, and friends & family. It’s moist, decadent, and super easy to make! It also makes for a great DIY housewarming gift.
