The Best Post

Today is Good Friday. And this year it has a whole new meaning to me.
Yesterday was simply the best day ever because....

TJ asked me to marry him and I said YES!
P is for the most perfect proposal,
I promise to post the whole story when I can form complete sentences. But right now I just want to en…

Oh Wow!

Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day. I am just in a great mood today! 
It might have something to do with TJ coming to town last night. And that we got to cook dinner together and then we went to see Captain America, which was just okay but we got to whisper in a movie theater tog…

Nine Things I Need

1.  A warm bath, candles, and to be able to finish my book. 
2. Popcorn and an icy coke, except I gave up soda for Lent.
3. Spring break, summer vacation, anything! Some sort of loonng break from work. 
4. A nap would be nice. But I would settle for a Netflix binge on the couch.
5. Tic-tacs, but o…

Memphis Wedding

As I briefly already mentioned I was out of town for a long weekend in Memphis. TJ was the best man in a college friend's wedding and I got to be his date! One of my old roommates was also a bridesmaid and she played a role in setting up the bride and groom and may also have been involved in br…

It's the Little Things

Whenever TJ and I part ways after a visit I'll sometimes find chocolate or treat on my bed. And he always drops me off at the airport with a snack which helps when you have to sprint between connections.
(He's also been known to have chocolate cake or ribs waiting for me when I arrive...)

I…

The Forgotten Letter K

So I kinda thought Friday was Saturday and I forgot to prepare a post for the letter K.  In between wedding festivities yesterday TJ and I tried to brainstorm some words for a potential post. We came up with Krispy Kreme, Kraft macaroni and cheese, and just kidding. 
Anyway, the day got away from me…

Just Checking In

I'm out of town this weekend in Memphis for a wedding so blogging is proving to be a little tricky. But I just wanted to pop in and share a few pics of what I left behind in D.C.

Yesterday was beautiful. The city was beautiful.
I had organized a little afternoon outing for some of the attorneys w…

If I could visit England with you...

Sometimes I daydream about visiting England again. It's been quite a while since I've been back and I would love to travel there with a certain someone. I wonder if I'd remember my way around. Would it feel like home? Would I feel like I'd never left or like I'd been gone too lo…

The "I Made it Home Safely" Texts

"Text me when you get there."

That could be my mom's tagline.

Either that or "no hanky-panky," which she mostly just said in jest (I think) before we headed off to coed situations back in high school.

Both are phrases that were usually answered with a reflexive "we knoo…

Grow

If you're new around here, a while back I made a big list of 101 things I wanted to check off in 1001 days. Well... we are 623 days in and I have only checked off 19... weak!

One of those little goals, #22, is to grow Shannon Elizabeth Designs. I'm not sure how I'll measure that, or whe…

Four Years

I have been out of college for almost four years. That's as long as I was in college.
How is that possible? That can't be right, can it?

Life is pretty different than I expected it to be when I was jumping up and down with my friends and throwing my cap in the air. Four years ago I had this…
