Wedding Weekend in Michigan Part 1
This weekend was one of those weekends that went by waaaay too fast! On Wednesday night, Jon and I flew back to Michigan to see my friends Danielle and Nate get married. I was one of the bridesmaids, so I couldn’t risk having another cancelled flight and missing any of the festivities. That morning it was…

25 Life Lessons For My 25th Birthday

Our First Anniversary
Jon and I celebrated our one-year anniversary last Tuesday. He suggested that we make dinner together at the apartment so that we wouldn’t have to worry about other people sitting right on top of us.
