Whenever I mentioned that our road trip route was taking us through Kansas, people always said, “there’s nothing out there! You’ll get bored really fast!” To my surprise, I found the landscape fascinating. Growing up in the southeast, there moments of unhindered views of the horizon are fleeting. Trees or buildings line the streets everywhere […]

If you’ve seen any photo of me, you probably noticed that I have a scar on my chin! I actually get asked about it pretty frequently. It’s kind of funny, because most of the time I forget that I have it, until someone asks me, “what happened to your chin?” They always expect me to […]

Packing for a long trip can be a daunting task. Do you need to pack all of that water? Do you need clothes for every day? My friend Ashley and I went on a 35-day cross-country road trip last summer and we made some notes about what to pack. Today we are sharing them with […]

Things got serious pretty fast with the two of us. I knew immediately that I wanted to marry him. Before I met Matt, I thought people were making it up when they said “we just knew.” But I kid you not, I did. I just knew. I fell in love with his kindness, his gentleness, […]

Last week I gave some tips on how to begin planning a road trip. On Thursdays, I plan on alternating between posts with an overview of our trip and posts with general tips and information. Today is part 1 of my and Ashley’s Great American Road Trip! Our trip started in Mechanicsville, VA for Bethany […]

“So, I think you should become a Johnson…” were the first words Eve said to me when she got in my car. Apparently she had been trying to get Matt to ask me out since before her wedding over a year earlier! (Remember when I asked for directions?) We went to Cook Out, and of […]

Last summer I had the amazing opportunity of going on a 35-day road trip across 25 states with one of my good friends, Ashley. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life! Up until that point, I had barely ventured outside of the southeastern US. Some of the things we saw were mind […]

What if I told you that my sweet husband and I only dated for 7 months before we got married? You’d probably think I was crazy! But I love our love story. I love that it’s unique. I love that it was a whirlwind. Today I’m going to share the beginning of our story, and […]

This summer I had the opportunity to travel to New York City with one of my closest friends in the world! I was in New York to shoot Brian and Jocelyn’s wedding in Bath, and since my friend Elisa is a close friend of theirs, we decided to go together! My sister-in-law and her family […]

It’s Wednesday. Or, Hump Day, as some affectionately call it. Personally, Wednesdays aren’t my favorite! By this time during the week I start to get discouraged that I’m not doing everything I need to be doing, or I start to doubt myself and my work, or I’m just plain tired! I thought I would spice […]
