Last Day

Today is my last day being 25. Tomorrow I enter my late 20's and I'm just not sure how to feel about that. Anyway, I thought I'd recap the highlights of my 25th year and all of its awesomeness, because if we're being honest, 25 has been my absolute favorite year.

1. Kicked off being 25 by having a double celebration with one of my besties.

2. Saw my second Texas Rangers game.


3. Watched my baby sister graduate and said goodbye as she moved away for college.

4. Painted a peacock.


5. Saw one of my best college friends get married (and went to North Carolina for the first time in the process).


8. Moved back to Fort Worth.

7. Introduced Nappy to his first other corgi. It was completely derptastic.


8. One of my best friends announced she was pregnant.


9. Started grad school and met several new, awesome friends.


10. Saw the baby elephants at the FW Zoo.


11. My besties visited me and we went to the FW Zoo and took this adorable picture that captures our friendship to a T.


12. Was this far away from Justin Timberlake.


13. Made cronuts.


14. Saw Mizzou win the Cotton Bowl in a nail biter!


15. Drove in snow for the first time ever (Listen, it's Texas. We don't do cold weather).


16. Co-hosted this lil mama's baby shower.


17. Got this text and was giddy with excitement for a full week.


18. Met the sweetest baby boy in the whole world and got drunk on baby smell. So good.


19. Saw cops on horses. On campus.


20. Saw Chelsea Handler's stand up routine for her newest book, Uganda Be Kidding Me.


21. Made Ninja Turtle eggs with the Little One.


22. Conducted my first major research project for grad school (Social TV, y'all. So cool).

23. Took pictures of Nappy in the bluebonnets at my mom's neighbor's house.


24. Celebrated the end of the semester with these lovely ladies. Don't know how I would have made it through my first year of grad school without them.


25. Enjoyed one of the best years ever. Here's to 26. You have a lot to live up to, but I think we can make it happen!

What's been your favorite age of your life thus far?

He Is Risen!

Happy Easter, everyone! He is Risen!

Easter is definitely at the top of my favorite holidays list. I love the feeling of renewal and love! I also love dying eggs, eating friend chicken and deviled eggs with the family, and of course my dad's (and mine) favorite hymn is sung at church on Easter.


Side note: not my church, but this arrangement is very similar to the one our church uses.

My dad walks around the house humming this all day. And his imitation of the trumpets at church always cracks me up.

I tried to pick my favorite verse to post here, but I can't pick a favorite. They're all so wonderful and fill me with God's overwhelmingly powerful love! I guess I'd have to go with this one though...
"Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Once He died our souls to save, Alleluia!

Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!"

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter with your friends and families.

Oh, How Pinteresting!

I'm back for another Oh, How Pinteresting! I love linking up with Michelle at the Vintage Apple every Wednesday!



I've recently decided I have Celiac Disease (thanks to my mom, WebMD, and this website) and need to try a gluten free diet, so I've been pinning a few g-free things on Pinterest to try... one day.










And devlied eggs brings me to my favorite holiday: Easter!

Have you or has anyone you know gone gluten free? Is there a place you love to get recipes from? Is there a restaurant with a great g-free menu? AND are you as excited for Easter as I am? My step-sisters and I dye eggs every year and I think tonight is the night!
