The Kucks

After 14 months of planning, the time has come and gone!
Nicole and Michael are officially The Kucks and I couldn't be happier for them both :)

I had the privilege of speaking during their ceremony and read one of my all time favorite chapters in the bible, 1 Corinthians 13. I mean I did get my blog title from there after all... It was so intimate and special. I am very thankful I was there and able to share such a beautiful moment in time. Nicole couldn't have looked more gorgeous and the day was perfect!

Devils Den

 

A few weekends ago, my roommate and I made the short trek over to a well known spot in Arkansas known as Devils Den to get out and enjoy our last weeks together. I have been dying to go to Devils Den for years. I'm not even kidding guys, years. It's a really famous spot here in Northwest Arkansas and for some laaaaame reason I had just never been! Whatever.

Not anymore though! I FINALLY got to cross DD off my list off my long list of things to do before I leave Fayetteville.  As you will see it's beautiful, and not just that, it's also great camping too!  

So thankful for our time spent at this gorgeous place and the beautiful day that accompanied us!

Dottie Adele love!

Remember me mentioning Dottie Adele a few times :)

Well here is my latest purchase (Dolman Sleeve Knit Dress) and I literally have worn this thing pretty much every weekend since I've bought it. To say I love it would be an understatement! I mean... I may or may not have worn it three days in a row around my birthday. Yeah, that's right. THREE. Don't worry though, I was around different company each time, ha!

What are you waiting for?! Go get yourself something special that you too can wear three days in a row...

New York, New York... HERE I COME!

It's official, NYC and I will FINALLY meet!!! I just booked my flight this morning and what better time to be in the big apple than on New Years Eve?! Words cannot contain my excitement :)
A monumental THANK YOU to THIS GIRL for making this trip a possibility. I could not think of a better person to ring in the new year with! :)

And in honor of my NYE in NYC:

Roommate Intro + Info!

Before my absence a few weeks ago, I mentioned a few upcoming things to the blog; Meeting my roomie was one of them. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to my wonderful roommate, Meagan! Or, as I call her MA (long story on the nickname). As I roll around on my 4th year at the University of Arkansas, I have had my fair share of roommates, all great in their own ways. She is the one who has stuck with me though for what's going on three years now and she is by far one of a kind. She understands me and my ridiculousness and I'd like to think we are roommate-soulmates. You know, you're ideal roommate. Is that weird? Oh well. She is great and I feel so lucky to have been blessed with her and our great friendship! 

Tips on how to be a good roommate: 

• Always put the other person first. 
• Be aware of things around the house. If the trash needs to be taken out, dishes are piling up, the dishwasher needs to be unloaded... Just do it :) 
• Think of what you would want the other person to do if the situation where in reverse. 
• Spend time with one another, doing something you both enjoy. 
• Spend time apart. "Me time" is crucial. 
• If the roommate is upset, check on them, but do not, I repeat DO NOT smother them into telling you what's wrong. They will tell you on their own time and own pace. 
• Don't get into boyfriend drama. It never ends good. Ever. You must always be supportive, even if the situation is being handled in a way that you don't agree with (unless it's illegal, then do what you must). 
• Leave kinda and encouraging notes around the house. If your roommate has an interview or a big exam or something important coming up that day, let them know you are there and are thinking of them. 
• Buy your own groceries. Seriously, just do it. You will save yourself from 5765948667 different problems. 
• Be kind, respectful, and most importantly, yourself :) 

PS... This can go for marriages too, don't you agree?
