Aging with my Boo
It’s James birthday and I feel like it’s my own. We’ve had family over all evening but I want to carry on the tradition of writing a post for him summarizing the amazing year I’ve got to spend with him.
This year has been such a year of change for us. We moved into a real grown up house, made executive decisions about our wedding (we set a date ya’ll!), and have each mastered the work/love/family/independent adventures aspects of our lives. James encouraged me as I embarked on actualizing my professional aspirations, and surprised me with a number of awesome things this year!
He’s become such a wonderful father and so selfless too. He wakes up early every morning so I can sleep in and he can squeeze in some pre-work playtime with Cash. He works harder every day to ensure our family gets everything we want out of life, while still pursuing his own creative outlets and developing who he is on a daily basis. Just watching how quickly he can become passionate about the most obscure things is something I love very much about him.
So I just wanted to take a moment out of this busy day, and dedicate this post to him. I’ll always love you and am forever thankful for each year we get to spend together!
I love you like XO,
b

#WHATIBOUGHTATTARGET
I’m new to this, so don’t be too harsh on me. I attended a blogging conference back in February that instructed all bloggers to get on Youtube and start making videos. Being the procrastinator I am at times, I’m just now starting a weekly video series entitled: “What I bought at Target.” Â Come along for a joyous sarcastic ride filled with wonders of the one spot and more…
I’ll be posting these confessionals every week, so hopefully my editing skills will become more than sub-par here soon. For now I present to you the first edition of my series! After the video be sure to scroll to check out more up close shots of the awesome fall decor I couldn’t live without this week!
Bullseye,
B

Life Changes. Huge News!
I’ve thought a lot recently about what I’m really aspiring to. What are my real goals? When will I actually feel like a grown up instead of someone whose pretending to have it all together while I’m secretly wearing mis-matched socks. This thought process has brought on a wave of change for me, and I’ve started noticing fun details about how my life has changed once I made my true happiness a priority.
I love retail. It’s not often someone says that, but I really love my job. The aspects of providing exceptional customer service and having someone appreciate your talents daily, are just as much a part of me as my ever-changing hair. Helping people realize their true aesthetic appeal and become confident of themselves in the moment is such an awesome part of what I do, it’s hard not to be in love with retail at times.
Unfortunately, with a love of retail comes a stunning new passion for fulfilling my true potential, and at some point or another I found myself not becoming fully challenged and developing daily in my current role with the lovely, wonderful company I have been given the chance to become a part of.
It is a bittersweet announcement I have to make today. One that brought me so much happiness at once and then a sudden sadness as well. I have accepted an opportunity to help lead a new store coming to the area. While I’m so excited about fresh fashion and a new dress code that allows me to rock my entire closet on the daily, I’m also sad to be moving on without my LTD family. I know we’ll still see each other because I am a shopper after all, but it won’t be easy to have a different manager and crew on a daily basis! I couldn’t have seen myself being given this opportunity 3 years ago when I started with The Limited, and I know that without the development I received from my current management team, this would not be possible. So THANKS GUYS!!! I LOVE YOU!
I finally feel like I’m actualizing the future that I envisioned for myself! So this is what being an adult feels like! I can dig it! Going to splurge on some matching socks and throw pillows now! 😉
2 weeks,
