People and Places




These are people and places that you will find in my blog a lot! This is just so I don't have to explain who everyone is every time I mention them!

Mom and Dad (Karen and Steve)
So in love!

My mom is the most creative, soft, beautiful, and sweetest woman I've ever known. I am so lucky to have her in my life and don't know what I'd do without her!

My dad is my rock. He has a heart of gold and loves nothing more that to make anyone laugh (even if we've heard the joke a million times). 

My parents split their time between Florida and Indiana.

Sister and Brother-in-Law (Kara and Aaron) plus Jackson and Lola





Kara and Aaron

Yack-son


Lola Martina
My sister is a fun-loving, laid back, girl with a heart as big as the sky. I have more fun laughing with her and my mom than any family should be allowed to have.

Kara recently married Aaron, the love her life. Aaron is an kind, hilarious, and incredible guy who loves Kara more than anything and was a perfect addition to our family.

They have two dogs. Lola is a sassy pants bull-dog with a polka-dot life jacket who is our family's entertainment. Jackson is a noble, cuddly, sweetheart of an all-American yellow lab. They're nuts and I love them.

Justin

At my house in B-town!

After Miss Indiana

At my sister's wedding

Justin is my high school sweetheart. And my current sweetheart. And my future sweetheart. We've been together since I was 15 and he was 17. Met on a blind date, danced the night away, and the rest is history. Justin is a handsome, sweet, ambitious, funny, party starter who makes me smile even when I don't want to. We were long distance for four years in college while we did our own thing and now have started our lives together in Tampa. We decided to never grow up and proudly still haven't, we still act like we're 12, chasing each other around our apartment, sending flirty messages, and are still crazy about each other. 

Home (Indiana) 

This is home on a lake in northern Indiana. I grew up spending summers on the lake (the BEST way to grow up), and now my parents live here full time (unless they're in Florida).

Pseudo Home (Florida)


Justin and I moved here when I decided to attend graduate school and picked the University of Tampa. We love it!

School (University of Tampa)

I fell in love with this school at first sight, and you can probably guess why :)

Undergraduate School (Indiana University)


Went from one beautiful school to another!
