Tummy Pains

Trey and I are both sick :( Gross.
Although I didn't feel good today I took my younger sister Hannah on a girls day. We went to lunch and then thrifted. I found a lot of good finds. A new purse, shoes, shorts, picture frames, and two rings, and an awesome t-shirt. I'm really bummed that I have to work in the morning because I haven't been getting any sleep, but I shouldn't grumble.



I took some quick pictures today while trying on my new stuff.
Shirt: Urban Outfitters. Shoes: thrifted. Shorts: thrifted.

These Days

I just wanted to share with everyone who I am and why I started this blog. I am only 19 years old and I graduated high school last year. I married Trey Russell, who was the first real boyfriend I had ever had only seven months after I graduated. I met him when I was 15 but had the biggest crush on him when I was 14 but I never thought he would talk to me because I was so young then! (Trey is three years older than me.) My senior year Trey was living in Australia doing mission work and it was the first big breakup we ever had but we soon started talking while he was there and got back together. When he got home in september we were engaged in October and I had a month to plan and entire wedding which turned out to be absolutely perfect and pretty big. We got married December 5th. I would have much rather had a fall wedding but we had only two weeks after we got married before we moved to Australia! I traveled 24 hours in the air to the other side of the world while I was only 18 and lived for 6 months. We were doing mission work for a non profit organization that was sending health care ships to Papua New Guinea to treat them for malaria and all kinds of other diseases. While I was in Australia I met a close friend and she introduced me to the whole blogging world. It was very inspiring and awesome to see all the young ladies who were engaged and married just as young as me. It was very inspiring and neat to learn about each of you. I want to build relationships with every one of you! And I'm so happy to be apart of this community!



I now and living in Cincinnati, Ohio with my husband and our best-friend Andy in a lovely house in the city. This is a very critical part of my life that I want to share with all of you. I am home and figuring out who I want to be. I plan to travel more (hopefully to India next) And I want to one day settle down and be a Kindergarten teacher in OTR. I recently got employed at a coffee shop and I hope to start taking night classes. Next month I am trying out for a women's roller derby team and later this week I am getting my thigh tattooed. I love children more than anything (besides animals, I'm saving for a pet rat this month) I hope to adopt at least 3 babies and have as many children as the Lord permits me too. I live for God and I put him first before everything I do. If you have any questions for me I would love to hear them..So ask away!

I wanted to share with you in a playlist some of my favorite music right now as well.

She & Him

I have sooo many pictures from vacation. It was such an eventful three days, but it was so great to getaway.
We took a ferry too Puttin Bay and rented a golf cart and rode around the island. We rented jet skis in the morning time, it was such a rush but the water was really choppy and kinda scary!









Our hotel we stayed in had a thai restaurant in the bottom level of it. The food was so delicious, I treated the hubby to some crazy noodles and then we got some sticky rice with mangos in it. My boy is so handsome :) And isn't his new shirt great, he found it at a goodwill on the island.



We also got to go to a crystal cave on the Island. It was gorgeous inside.


And immediately after we went on a tour of the vineyard and how they make their wine..which then meant we got to go wine tasting..the wine was so good.






We ended our perfect day on the Island with a butterfly house which was so cool. The day before that we got to go to Cedar Point and we rode rides all day long and the best part was there were NO lines. Now I'm home and back in my nest and I'm so happy to be here.

Now for everyone who stops by my blog:
I would love to build friendships with each of you. Thank you for stopping by I think that each of you are amazing, interesting women! :)

The Fair

Tonight Trey and I went to the fair to visit my aunt because she owns a lot of the food stands and travels with the fair during the summer. It was a nice evening but my stomach started to bother me.









The sky looked awesome tonight on the way home. And tomorrow I'm so excited we are leaving for vacation to Kelly Island until Monday so I'll be taking a short break from blogging.

Degrassi

I shouldn't have rushed home simply to watch the new Degrassi..but I did. I worked today it was hectic at first but then it slowed down! I'm done working for the week and then thursday I get to leave for Kelly Island, just a little weekend vacation with my husband and his family.
I loved how this new dress I got worked with my new shoes. This may be one of my new favorite outfits even though its really plain!







And thank the Lord for my sweet boy for taking my photos in our backyard even though it was raining :)
I hope everyone had a good day!

Coffee Shop

I had my first day at work today at the coffee shop. There were moments when I was actually like "WOW, I can't really be getting paid for this." It's just so much fun compared to my last job and one of my closest friends Chandler gets to train me. How great is that. This weekend we saw Inception and had a little girl date. It was probably the best movie I have ever seen. I've spent way to much time away from Trey though and I am so happy to see him tonight. Two of our best friends are coming over, Drew and Becki to drink some wine and play clue (Which by the way is one of my favorite things to do ever.)

I went on a shopping craze this weekend and spent way to much money but I am so thrilled with all my finds.









Dress: Urban Outfitters, Tights: Forever 21, Shoes: Kimchi & Blue

& Ps I got those oxfords for $11 at a Goodwill, brand new Kenneth Cole shoes never been worn. Thrilled!
