<br />
I know it has been a while since I wrote my ending post in May. I have missed writing as a creative outlet and have really examined my love of writing versus my comparison to other blogs. I have decided that I want to keep writing for me. Writing about things I love: reading, cooking, food, fitness, faith and other fun things so if you want to continue along and learn more about me, I will be over at<a href="http://www.justjld.com/"> Just Jess</a>.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have been thinking about this for a really long time but I wanted to announce that I am no longer going to be blogging.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Three years ago, I started this blog as I was transitioning into life as a postgrad and now I feel though I love this creative outlet, I have a lot of things going on: training for another half marathon, spending time with my roommate, two book clubs, teaching sunday school, etc. and the blog is always the first thing I let go which means that it is not a priority. I just completed reading The Best Yes and it really helped me focus on what I want to fill my plate with. It has been such a fun adventure sharing part of my life with y'all and I am still going to keep reading along all of your adventures, it's just time for my voice to be silent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

Luckily, some of my favorite authors are releasing books at this time so my to-read list is growing and my nightstand is filled. I thought I would share a few books on my list for this month and I would love for y'all to share your upcoming book reads as well!</span></span><br />

grown up hearing endless stories about how her mother and father met.
Twenty years ago, America Singer entered the Selection and won the heart
of Prince Maxon—and they lived happily ever after. Eadlyn has always
found their fairy-tale story romantic, but she has no interest in trying
to repeat it. If it were up to her, she'd put off marriage for as long
as possible.<br /><br />But a princess's life is never entirely her own, and
Eadlyn can't escape her very own Selection—no matter how fervently she
protests.<br /><br />Eadlyn doesn't expect her story to end in romance. But
as the competition begins, one entry may just capture Eadlyn's heart,
showing her all the possibilities that lie in front of her . . . and
proving that finding her own happily ever after isn't as impossible as
she's always thought.</span></span></span></i></div>

Kingdom of Jhansi, expecting its queen to forfeit her crown, they are
met with a surprise. Instead of surrendering, Queen Lakshmi raises two

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It is a gorgeous day and I have had a great time. I woke up to babysit and then this afternoon I went to see Swan Lake, the ballet, with my roomie followed by ice cream. Now its time to prep some meals, do some cleaning and get a workout in. I found this pin earlier and love this quote. What a great saying to meditate on this week.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I think sometime we get caught up in everything and we forget to just take a breathe and do the best we can. I have been so busy with work and some personal stuff that I have let this space go to the wayside. That is okay. Right now, blogging isn't in my top five priorities and that's fine. I would rather run to the gym and get a great workout in then write a few posts (if you know me in real life that might shock you) but I know that I will keep trying to do my best in sharing content here and I hope you give me some leeway. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Yet again, Mondays got to me. I had such a busy weekend helping out at church for Holy Week that I didn't get around to writing a post and yesterday was jam packed with catching up after a holiday weekend and a couple meetings. Anyway, I'm continuing the theme of getting to know me with a quick post revolving the number four. While four actually isn't my favorite number I saw this post on <a href="http://savingbestforlast.blogspot.com/">MCW</a>'s blog and I thought it was a great idea.</span><br />

I also went to the library yesterday so I'm fully stocked for the long weekend.</span></span><br />

all the hard work she’d put into securing the family business after her
father’s death, Nora has no choice but to accept help from a knight in
shining armor.<br />Disaster relief worker Ethan Love is still
haunted by his last deployment, and desperate for distraction. He’s in
town to ask Nora for a major favor, and swooping in to save her
presentation is a sure way to get her on side.<br />As Ethan sticks
around and helps Nora through her grief, her barriers tumble down…but
will she dare to swap her To Do lists for a How to Fall in Love list?</span></span><br />

down-on-her-luck, young, American, former biker-bar cocktail waitress
desperate to find a job. Lady Elizabeth Billingsley hires Lucy to travel
to Fredonia, the tiny jewel of a country in the Alps, for ten days
‘tops’ to impersonate her.<br /><em>Say what? How the heck is that going to happen?</em><br />In
the mother of all makeovers, Elizabeth’s people teach Lucy how to
dress, walk, talk, eat, be coiffed and even get naked like a European
Lady. <br /><em>The goal?</em><br />To keep Crown Prince Cristoph
Timmel interested in Elizabeth until she finishes her unexpected,
pressing personal business in the States.<br />But fate intervenes…
Lucy meets and is wildly attracted to sexy, bad-boy Nick on the
oh-so-long flights to Fredonia. Unfortunately for Lucy—Nick and
Elizabeth have a hot sexual history, which Nick wants to immediately
resume.<br />Prince Cristoph proposes marriage. <em>What's an imposter girl to do?</em>
Elizabeth insists that she’ll make it back home in time for the
wedding. Lucy accepts Cristoph’s proposal and is on the fast track to
becoming a Princess but continues to fall for the wrong Prince of
Fredonia—Nick. When another tiny glitch arises—someone’s trying to kill
her.<br />The only folks helping Lucy are her wild, party hard, take-no-prisoners Ladies-in-Waiting. <br />When
the real Lady Elizabeth decides she’s not marrying Cristoph and never
returning to Fredonia, Lucy’s faced with an uncomfortable
decision—continue her deception, marry the prince she’s not in love with
and live a dream life albeit without Nick, her dream guy? Or tell the
truth and return to poverty and oblivion?</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Opinion</b>:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I thought this was such a quick read and since it is marked as the first in a series I am interested to know where the next book ventures. Essentially, Lucy due to circumstances loses her job and when looking through the paper finds a listing for a part-time assistant position. Well, it's not an assistant position as it is for Lucy to fill in for Lady Elizabeth Billingsley as she deals with family business. Lucy takes a crash course in how to be a lady and luckily has some pretty amazing ladies in waiting when she lands in the small country of Fredonia. This was a fun, quick read and I laughed on more than one occasion.</span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I love the get to know me Monday theme I have going so even though this is a day late since it is really late on Monday now, I thought I would share. Also, if you want to catch up on Get to Know Me Monday posts I answered questions in the <a href="http://preppostgrad.blogspot.com/2015/03/one-lovely-blog-blog-award.html">One Lovely Blog</a> post as well as the 100 random questions post part <a href="http://preppostgrad.blogspot.com/2015/03/100-random-questions-part-1.html">one </a>and <a href="http://preppostgrad.blogspot.com/2015/03/100-random-questions-part-2.html">two</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Here are some current things:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Feeling:</b> Blah. I just got my <a href="https://instagram.com/p/05IxTJwEjY/?taken-by=jldriscoll12">Easter basket</a> in the mail and the Easter Bunny told me it was ok to open it early. I have indulged in a bit to much candy. Whoops!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Reading</b>: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22859477-tempting-donovan-ford">Tempting Donovan Ford</a>. I need to pick up <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/77566.Hyperion">Hyperion </a>for my book club book and today the newest Chronicles of Nick, <a href="http://www.sherrilynkenyon.com/book/instinct/">Instinct</a>, comes out so I need to go to the store and grab it.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Listening to</b>: the Kinky Boots Soundtrack constantly. Whether going for a run or doing the dishes, ever since I saw the show I have been listening to the music constantly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span> <br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Thankful for</b>: my small group. Seriously, I have the best women in my small group/bible study and Monday nights refresh me for the whole week. Last night was a lot of life updating and discussion on embracing the Lord fully.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span> <br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Thinking about</b>:upcoming blog posts. If y'all have any requests or specific questions you want to know, like a Q&A let me know and I can make next's week post random questions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span> <br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Eating</b>: Dinner was lemon garlic pork tenderloin with saffron rice and green beans followed by the aforementioned Easter candy.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Watching</b>: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3339966/">The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt</a>. My roommate and I started to binge watch this show on Sunday and we are already half way through. I am glad that Netflix has already decided to create a second season.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I love to read and give reviews so I am hoping to get back to writing small reviews every Thursday or so. Now to play catch up with books I have read so far this year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I recently finished up the newest book in the Royal Wedding series by Rachel Hauck. I discovered the author when I received Once Upon a Prince from Netgalley and I have been obsessed with her novels since. I have read a few from her series writing with country star Sarah Evans and her Beaufort series. Rachel Hauck writes beautiful Christian fiction love stories. The novels always evoke deep emotions for me but they also tie in troubles with reliance on the Lord. I have read the first two books, <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16164030-once-upon-a-prince">Once Upon a Prince</a>, <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18224923-princess-ever-after">Princess Ever After</a>, as well as the novella, <a href="http://preppostgrad.blogspot.com/2014/01/book-club-friday-january-10.html">A March Bride</a>, so I was so excited to get my hands on a copy of the newest book thanks to Netgalley. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span id="freeText17276991642896604379">Prince Stephen came to America to escape responsibility. But what he found complicates his life more than ever.<br />Corina
Del Rey is happy with her life in Melbourne, Florida. She spends her
days engrossed in her career as a journalist and has her sights set on
climbing the corporate ladder if for no other reason, to distract
herself from her dissolving family. But when she is confronted with the
past she fought so hard to put behind her, she struggles to make sense
of her future.<br />Prince Stephen of Brighton Kingdom has moved on
since the tragic death of his buddies in Afghanistan. A star
professional rugby player, he has no intention of looking over his
shoulder at what could've been.<br />But when a notice arrives in the
mail requiring his and his wife s appearance before the courts to
dissolve their marriage, he must deal with the questions rumbling around
in his heart. He thought his marriage had been annulled long ago, but
his memories of Corina Del Rey remain close. Does he still love her? Can
he even find her? Above all, can he tell her the truth about that
fateful night in Afghanistan seven years ago? If he does, he might
really lose her forever.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span id="freeText17276991642896604379">My Opinion:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span id="freeText17276991642896604379">I love a good fairy tale story and it was great to hear more about Prince Stephen and his story as a rugby player and soldier. To me, this story was better than the second novel when we find the long lost heir to the throne of Hessenberg. It was so heartbreaking a lot of the time since he obviously loved Corina but was staying away to protect her feelings and her relationships with her family. Yet again, another great story from Rachel Hauck. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I love looking at outfit posts for inspiration, but I thought I would start taking a few pics everyday to show you my different outfits and the occasions. I don't have a true full length mirror so for now you are getting headless shots. Sorry! I will try to link similar items if I can't find my exact item but not everything has an equivalent, so I'm sorry ahead of time.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hey y'all,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Sara from <a href="http://sarasmiles365.com/">Sara Smiles</a>, who I originally met via the internet way back when I was in college and had a Tumblr, was so sweet to nominate me for the One Lovely Blog Award. These posts are so fun to mix it up and you really get to know the person behind the blog.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://travelmorgantravel.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/award-2-300x172.png?w=300&h=172" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://travelmorgantravel.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/award-2-300x172.png?w=300&h=172" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">How this whole thing works: </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> I answer the questions <a href="http://sarasmiles365.com/">Sara </a>left for me, then I nominate some of my
favorite blogs. They then answer the questions I leave below! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Europe. I loved living there and there are so many places I still want to explore like Denmark, Rome, Portugal, etc. I have never really been an island person even though I love the beach, it must be my pale, sunburn prone skin but I love the cultures and history of the various nations of Europe.</span><br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/53/Colosseum_in_Rome,_Italy_-_April_2007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/53/Colosseum_in_Rome,_Italy_-_April_2007.jpg" height="233" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Empire">via</a></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2. What is your favorite season?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Spring! Next favorite would have to be fall but except for a lot of rain and my allergies I think Spring is perfect. You get to wear your sandals and sundresses without the 100 degree heat!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">3. If you had to be stranded on a deserted island with one person who would you want that one person to be?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hmm, this one is pretty tough. As far as having people to hang out with until we are rescued I would probably say either my bestie, aMl, my best guy friend TS, or my Mom. If we are talking about surviving on the island hands down my Dad. He would be able to hunt and fish for food, perform medical procedures if we get hurt, and I am sure he could have us out of there in no time.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">4. Did you have a favorite toy as a child?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I had a doll called "Special Dolly" that I took every where as a child. She was essentially my security blanket. Apart from that I loved my American Girl Doll <a href="http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/78473/uid/70">Molly</a>.</span><br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">5. When you have 30 minutes of free-time, how do you pass the time?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Reading a book or cruising through my social media to check on everything.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">6. What is your favorite book of all time?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It would probably be a tie between <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/45032.Mansfield_Park?from_search=true">Mansfield Park </a>and <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24337.Ella_Enchanted?ac=1">Ella Enchanted</a>. I know they are so different but I read both of them almost every year and the stories never get old. I also love <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2299110.Acheron?ac=1">Acheron</a> and <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2156.Persuasion?from_search=true">Persuasion</a>.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">7. If you could have any superpower what would you pick?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Not flying. I hate heights. I would probably want the invisibility cloak from Harry Potter. Sometimes you just want to disappear for a while.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>8. What is one of your life goals?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">To become a Mom.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>9. What song would you sing at Karaoke night?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I love musicals so probably anything from the Wicked or Legally Blonde the Musical soundtracks. I also am currently loving the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d_CkTChdO8">History of Wrong Guys</a> from Kinky Boots. I also tend to belt out T.Swift, Spice Girls, and Disney music. I mean, we don't have to win Karaoke, right?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>10. Do you have any pet peeves?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I think some of my biggest pet peeves occur when I'm driving. I have a bit of road rage sometimes.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>11. Why did you begin blogging?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I started blogging after creating a Tumblr. My first blog documented a lot of my senior year of college. I loved the creative outlet when I was writing so many papers and there is such a wonderful community you establish when you begin to blog.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hey y'all,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I think we can often get wrapped up in our lives and forget who to turn to and place our burdens. I know personally if I think about the future and even small tasks I face I can become very anxious but if you read Matthew 6:25-34 and Luke 12:22-34 you are promised a provider. I love that my sorority creed includes a reminder that we are the Lilies of the Field. God has so much love for us, more than the flowers in the field he constantly cares for. We need not worry about our futures but look at the treasures of our hearts.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have had a lot of unknows come up in my life recently and I thought I would share this verse with you. It is such a comfort to remember that no matter our situations, we have a Savior who is there to listen to us and support us. Life is scary and taking steps in faith are very hard but sometimes, it is going into the unknown and trusting God that will strengthen us in our walks as well as personally.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For those of y'all that don't live in the Tar Heel State, March doesn't just mean nice weather, but in fact means lots and lots of basketball with March Madness. March always kicks off with the Duke/Carolina game followed by the ACC Tournament and Selection Sunday determines the NCAA tournament members on March 15th. I've been so proud of the way my Tar Heels have been playing in the ACC Tournament, but since it's called March Madness we all know the NCAA tournament always has some very interesting games.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-600EWs0LlzQ/VQJQVE1PMyI/AAAAAAAAGSY/NlL1rbtrWFQ/s1600/IMG_2407.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-600EWs0LlzQ/VQJQVE1PMyI/AAAAAAAAGSY/NlL1rbtrWFQ/s1600/IMG_2407.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">While a preppy dress code of sundresses, sandals, and boots are expected for Southern Football games, I find it very hard to determine what to wear for basketball games while maintaining a preppy style. It can be especially tough when your school colors are so specific, like UNC's Carolina Blue. Lots of students wear Carolina t-shirts and basketball jerseys but that isn't necessarily my style and now that I don't make it to the Dean Dome often I look for Carolina items and accessories that I can incorporate into my entire wardrobe. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Enter <a href="http://www.lillybee.com/">Lillybee University</a> who reached out about their <a href="http://www.lillybee.com/lillybee-university-schools/">College and University line</a> and I knew I had to share them with y'all. Some of y'all might have seen the photo I posted already on <a href="http://instagram.com/jldriscoll12">Instagram </a>but I was sent the <a href="http://www.lillybee.com/university-of-north-carolina/">University of North Carolina Flats</a> and I am in love. They are so comfortable and will work perfectly for going to the game or supporting my Heels from afar. I wore my pair to a friend's house to watch the Duke/Carolina game this past Saturday and I was so comfortable and got so many compliments on these flats. I know I will be wearing them to other Carolina games whether baseball, football, or basketball.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For those of you with a similar preppy style I thought I would share a few different outfits from casual to professional to showcase how versatile these flats are and how you can continue to show support for your school no matter if you have to be in the office or are front row at the Dean Dome.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Since the Dome can get pretty warm I try to go with a cami and sweater combination. I love this Vineyard Vines tote that can fit in everything while still showing my support. I also love that you can add on bow clips to the Lillybee U flats so at the game everyone knows you cheer for UNC.</span></div>

I personally am eyeing the <a href="http://www.lillybee.com/university-of-north-carolina-chapel-hill-wedges/">UNC wedges</a> for the spring game and for early fall football games.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This past weekend, one of my sorority sisters and best friends,lSc, asked me to join her bridal party! I'm so excited for her to become Mrs. R next June but until then there will be lots of planning and parties and I will of course bring y'all along the way. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So quick background: I can't remember how I met lSc, seriously, it feels like we have been friends forever. I know she joined Phi Beta Chi the Fall of our sophomore year and we were pretty much inseparable that whole year. We share a love of monograms, Disney, weddings, and so much more. We had some rocky years but by Senior year we were back to normal. lSc is the one that forces me to Barre 3 classes, will totally drink a glass of wine with me whenever I need it, complain about my hometown and how there is nothing to do there(she went to high school in my town), or is there for a good laugh.I'm so excited for her and Mr. R and seriously might have screamed a little when I got the "We're ENGAGED" text.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6bOiFDBXs-4/VP7zhIKbPdI/AAAAAAAAGRU/_RlNibVwJPs/s1600/bridesmaid%2Band%2Bbride.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6bOiFDBXs-4/VP7zhIKbPdI/AAAAAAAAGRU/_RlNibVwJPs/s1600/bridesmaid%2Band%2Bbride.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Now that you are all caught up, I thought I would share how I was asked to be a bridesmaid this past weekend. lSc sent us all invitations to meet at a building on UNC's campus and wait for all to arrive before meeting her at the Old Well. It was nice to catch up with friends as we headed her way, as well as meet her cousin AP. We excitedly made our way to the Old Well where lSc and her parents were waiting for us. After hugs, we all got monogramed boxes and were told to all open them at the same time. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yTCL79tD-7o/VP7zhTYw9VI/AAAAAAAAGRY/RPvMEfVgY0Q/s1600/jDl.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yTCL79tD-7o/VP7zhTYw9VI/AAAAAAAAGRY/RPvMEfVgY0Q/s1600/jDl.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Inside the boxes were vintage handkerchiefs, a sweet card, pictures of us (mine included pictures of lSc and I at sorority functions, waiting in the cold for Carolina basketball, and a photo of when we climbed the Bell Tower), some idea of the dresses she likes, and then cards filled with information including the date of the wedding, information on our attire, our responsibilities, information on the groomsmen, and a sheet about us for those who don't know each other well. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">After taking some photos and lots of talking we made our way to TOPO (Top of the Hill) where we sipped on mimosas and had brunch, catching up and talking about the wedding. It was the perfect way to round out the celebrations. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Since it was also the date of the Duke/Carolina game when we were leaving TOPO, we spotting the Travelocity Roaming Gnome on the elevator. Well, one of the bridesmaids, ES, talked about wanting to find him and take a picture so when we spotted him we went on a mini adventure around Franklin street to stop the Gnome and grab a picture. Here is a photo of all of us and the gnome.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">After our impromptu adventure, we headed back towards campus and stopped in at the Yogurt Pump (aka YoPo) for a sweet treat before heading home.</span><br />

<span style="color: #e74fb4; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I think it really depends on how the couple has created the atmosphere of their wedding I have gone to ones with bands and ones with DJs and had a great time at both.</span></div>

<span style="color: #e74fb4; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A couple. Not for any huge item but a few through blogs and things. My baby sister won a Samantha American Girl doll from our local book store when the Samantha movie came out and I remembered thinking she had the best luck. I have won off of scratch off tickets and raffles.</span></div>

I cannot knit though. I have been taught a lot of times but I have never got the knack of it. Most of the women in my family can knit but I don't have the hand eye coordination.</span></div>

However, I am not the biggest fan of fires. I am more of a fire pit outside by the pool kind of gal. It might be because I live in the South and fireplaces in the home are not the most important.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As usual, I like to take my Sundays to reflect on the past week, plan for the upcoming week, and dwell in verses and sayings that inspire me. This verse from Colossians has been on my heart as a list of virtues I want to strive for. When someone wants to know about me I want my friends to list me as compassionate, kind, humble, gentle, and patient. This verse just laid on my heart heavy since the past few months I have let other things come before my service to others and I am glad that I have service built in to the weekends of March. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have seen a few bloggers post about their favorite things and I have always loved watching beauty bloggers post their monthly favorites so I thought I would join the band wagon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Knit Infinity Scarf. This past month has included some crazy weather in North Carolina (think 6 inches of snow) so I have been loving the super warm scarf my bestie, aMl, got me for Christmas. It is so soft and warm and has made these freezing temperatures bearable.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hard Boiled Eggs. I recently got back into eating hard boiled eggs. I love boiling them on Sunday evenings and storing them in my fridge for the week. They are perfect to top a salad or to make deviled eggs with. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="http://www.kodiakcakes.com/mixes/">Kodiak Cakes Pancake Mix</a>. Y'all, the Kodiak Cakes Power pancake mix is delicious and has a ton of protein in it so you will feel nice and full all morning. This has been so handy since one of my favorite snow day traditions is making pancakes. This mix just requires water so it's so simple. Check out Target to find the mix!</span><br />

These fleece pullovers are perfect in the winter and I wear both of mine constantly. I have a berry colored one as well as a royal blue one. Since Patagonia just released their spring colors in the Re-Tool Snap-T Pullover, a lot of the past colors are on sale, including the blue one I have.

It is the perfect station for working out to. I love creating Pandora Stations and then taking those songs I like and making a full playlist on Spotify.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="http://www.queenhelene.com/skincare_product_detail.php?id=48">Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque</a>. During my snow days and delays, when I wasn't cooking up a storm, catching up on netflix, or working out I did a couple different beauty things like painting my nails, taking a bubble bath and falling back in love with the Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque. This minty masque is under $5 and really helps your skin by absorbing excess oils.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hey y'all,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As I continue to work on the vision of this blog I thought I would do a couple get to know you posts over the next few weeks. I saw this post of 100 random questions and thought this was a great jumping off point. I mean, you can read the Meet Jessica section so here are some things you might not know about me. Since 100 questions would make for the longest post I have written to date I thought I would break this up into two posts and you can read questions 51-100 next Monday.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Q:</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do you sleep with your closet doors
open or closed?</b><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>A:</b></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> I think it tends to be open. I always sleep with my bedroom door closed but the asjoining bathroom and closet doors remain open.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">

conditioner bottles from hotels?</b><br />
<b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #d5a6bd;">A:</span></b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><span style="color: #d5a6bd;"> </span> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">No. I tend to bring my own shampoo and conditioner to hotels since I have thick curly hair that needs all the moisture ever.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Q:</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do you sleep with your sheets tucked
in or out? </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>A:</b></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> In. Fun fact, I rarely sleep under the sheets. I sleep under the comforter but the sheets are so restricting that I tend to leave them be.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">

before? </b><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>A:</b></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">No, I have never heard of the appeal of stealing street signs. Sorry.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">

<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>A:</b></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Yes! My work desk is covered in them and I might have an entire drawer full in my desk at my apartment.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">

use them? </b></span><br />
<b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #d5a6bd;">A:</span></b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Yes. I love coupons and I try to use the ones I cut but sometimes I'm not the best at check on them. I do recommend the <a href="http://www.southernsavers.com/">Southern Savers</a> website for help getting into couponing.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hey y'all,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thank you for allowing me to take time away from my blog and coming back now that we are all back on schedule. We can often get bogged down with various commitments and work but it is most important to remind ourselves to recharge and relax. Some of my favorite ways to relax are to go to the gym and sweat it out, to take a bubble bath, to paint my nails, take a nap, open up a book. We must remember to put down the phone and shut down.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What's your favorite way to relax?</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>Just Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00086809156873704574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924026525330266493.post-38889078253359693532015-02-27T20:32:00.002-05:002015-02-27T20:32:50.016-05:00Dropping the Ball<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hey y'all,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am so sorry for going radio silent since January. Work has been crazy and we have had three snow storms in the last two weeks alone. I mean, I live in North Carolina for a reason. I love the snow but being an adult requires driving in some bad conditions if your office doesn't close and driving in the snow is not fun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Over the past few weeks I have contemplated giving up on blogging but I love the community that is here on the inter-webs. I thought about all the various things I foresee for this blog and I think I am going to do a couple tweaks. I mean, I will have graduated three years ago in May and I have learned a lot in the past few years. A few of my sorority sisters who are current seniors, KR and AJ, joked that they need lessons on adulting and that I should teach them all I know. I figured that I might start a small series on things I have learned over the last few years called Adulting 101. Things like, how to budget, meal planning for one, creating a work wardrobe, etc. So if you have any ideas for this series of what you want to see go ahead and place them in the comments below.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So now for a quick update of fun things that happened while I was away.</span><br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Gracie Gold warming up before the Free Skate</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I spent four days in Greensboro, NC volunteering and attending the US Figure Skating National Championships. It was a lot of fun working backstage and seeing a lot of important figures in the figure skating world. One day when not volunteering I went up to watch the Senior Men's practice for the long program and attended the Senior Ladies' free skate. It was so cool to be in the arena and you can feel the energy supporting the beautiful athletes. I even was retweeted by Smuckers, one of the main sponsors of the event and my tweet was on the jumbotron.</span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I found the elusive Strawberry! </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I turned 25! I am officially a quarter of a century old! My birthday weekend actually had some kind of last minute change of plans since my baby sister, kDi, ended up moving to Ohio my birthday weekend so my parents visited me the following weekend. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mLdOzTFruCU/VPEX-558tFI/AAAAAAAAGPc/hQIBK50xMIw/s1600/Tea%2BTime.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mLdOzTFruCU/VPEX-558tFI/AAAAAAAAGPc/hQIBK50xMIw/s1600/Tea%2BTime.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For my actual birthday, my roomie rHm got me some Dunkin Doughnuts munchkins and then we headed off to a cycle class. After getting our sweat on, I went to the Carolina Inn for <a href="http://www.carolinainn.com/dining/afternoon-tea-chapel-hill">afternoon tea </a>with my roomie as well as part of my sorority family (one of my littles, mGk, and one of my grandlittles, kBm). It was a lot of fun and I highly recommend going to tea at the Inn if you have a chance. I had the Strawberry Delight tea and it was delicious along with all the treats that came with the tea including the best blueberry scones. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After tea, I rounded out my birthday with a nice casual dinner at </span><a href="http://baddaddysburgerbar.com/" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Bad Daddy's Burger Bar</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> with a few friends. It was the perfect way to round out a fun and busy birthday!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The following Saturday, my parents had returned from Ohio and they took me to the local outlet mall for some shopping. It was a great day and we found a lot of deals. After shopping for a few hours, we drove back to the Triangle and headed to the Angus Barn with my roomie. If you have never gone and live in North Carolina, make a reservation and go. The Angus Barn had delicious food, great service, and an amazing atmosphere. Perfect for celebrations. </span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Happy Birthday to me!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Between all the celebrations I have been busy babysitting, running (I'm training for the Tar Heel 10 Miler), and dealing with the busy start of the spring semester at work. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">However, last weekend, I took a mini break from all of my errands and typical weekend duties and I ran the Shamrock 'N Run 5K in Chapel Hill presented by Kappa Delta. It was a very cold morning (think 20 degrees before wind chill) but aJe was a wonderful running buddy and I was able to run a personal record. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">As most of y'all know, C.Wonder is going out of business. The newer line to prep obsessed closets will be closing soon and recently I checked on the website and everything has been marked to 75% off! Since it's my birthday month and my current Longchamp is looking a little worse for wear considering I purchased it at the start of my sophomore year of college and I graduated in May 2012 I thought it was time for something new. I thought I would showcase a few other things you can treat yourself to with very limited guilt.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I purchased the Nylon Easy Tote in black but I love the navy and khaki options as well.</span><br />
