life


i'm moving from my beloved south carolina to DALLAS, TX in exactly one week and two days. i have never lived in another city, much less another state, ever. i've always been a stone's throw away from my parents and siblings. this is huge for me, people. i accepted a job as a nanny for some friends and their adorable daughter who is only a week old. she's precious and i couldn't be more excited or honored!
life is so unexpected. i never would have guessed that i'd wind up living in texas, especially as a nanny, of all things... i always saw myself doing art in europe when i was in highschool. i've always had a knack for the artistic side of things and have always been obsessed with europe, too. then when i decided to go to college after all, i started thinking about law school or a government job because, during a major identity crisis, i randomly majored in political science. i quickly realized that i was too much of a free-spirit to restrict myself to a desk job so left school and am now basically a gypsy... haha. 
that's the great thing about life though, i guess. you just kind of have to roll with the punches and laugh at yourself. 
it'll be interesting to see where i end up/what i'll be doing in a year from now. i want to start a business, travel, get married, and have a huge garden. not in that order and not this year, but there's my bucket list. ;)  

i started this post as a phone pic catch-up and ended up telling you my life story...wow. haha.

meet puppy the spitz

hi. i'm a fluffy ball of love and the newest addition to the family. i don't have a name yet but you can call me 'puppy'. 
i'm really, really tiny and cute. 


i love to cuddle when it's cold out.


and exploring is my favorite activity...


besides chewing on things, of course.


oh, and eating too!


and when i'm done eating i get very sleepy...


in a nutshell, i'm just altogether the cutest thing you've seen.

nye pictures

well, this is embarrassing. i'm terrible at documenting my life via pictures - i always forget to take them! i took all of 5 pictures at my nye party and only 2 of them weren't blurry haha. i guess i have an excuse because i was busy running around playing hostess. i barely even remember the night because i was getting firewood, setting food out, opening bottles, handing out champagne glasses, etc etc etc and barely sat down. not a huge fan of hosting parties so i'm not sure why i do it. i'd rather just go somewhere and let someone else do the work haha.


lights in the fig tree + my man and me with my cousin and his girlfriend, who drove down from atlanta to celebrate with us. love them! i also love taking pictures with them because they make my 5 feet and 8 inches look short.

hope everyone's year has gotten off on the right foot. 
lots of love! xoxo
