Meet: Anni Ver Sary.

It is seriously hard to believe 

Jhason and I have been married for 

a year already.

Somedays it feels longer but then again it doesn't feel

like a year.

To celebrate our one year of marriage 

we went to Franklin, Tennessee to a little AirBnb.

If you haven't heard of airbnb you should probably go research it.

We are obsessed with them.

So, these are a couple of shots from the weekend.

Our hosts wrote us sweet little notes on their chalkboards. 

They were so welcoming.

 the harmony home.

the room was so incredibly bright & clean.

I love sleeping next to this beautiful man.

So, the day before we got to the bnb 

Jhason drove out there and left 

these beautiful roses on my bedside.

He wrote his vows on them.

Married

Hello all,

Being engaged was probably THE most stressful time of my life.

It's insane how much work you put into one day. 

And I was the little Bride that was thinking up everything.

But now... it's all over.

I have to remind myself that this is all real.

I'm at the exact place I've strived to be for so long.

Nashville.

Own home.

Married.

Happy.

It's not the cliche "now my life starts" kinda thing

But like things seem limitless now.

All my ducks are in a row.

It's exciting.

What will we look like?

So one thing that has been rolling around in my brain is,

"What is our generation going to look like when we are in our 60s/70s/80s"

I feel like we are going to be the craziest looking old people ever.

With all of the piercings, gauges, and super crazy tattoos.

I wonder what our grandchildren will think of us. Because yeah it's really awesome right now but when we're 80 we're gonna look a little crazy or will the generations become worst than us? Will we be as 'old fashioned' as we think our grandparents are and if so how disturbing is that thought.

also think about how our slow journey to killing ourselves will get us to... you probably got a little freaked out by that statement but really smoking, excessive alcohol and all the access to hard drugs that we have is just a slower process of ending our lives and if it doesn't at what is considered a young age think of how it will age us or think of the massive health issues

so just a thought.

maybe more than just 'a' thought.

proclaimed blogger...

I hate that I've turned into this "proclaimed" blogger.

I never blog.

Most likely because I don't have wifi.

and the other part is just i guess lack of time

but both of those are excuses so where does that get anyone besides 

avoiding the actual thing...

well, I have lots of things rolling around in my brain.

to get you updated and when i say you i mean who ever actually reads this and or stumbles upon my writings. 

I now live in Mt. Juliet

It's been 273 days with Mr. Smith

I work at ESCU.

I have no clothes I've either given them away or given them to goodwill.

I haven't been to TX since December 2011

I got my forget me knot ring and my gold toms.

I've been mostly very happy.

two years later....

Two years ago today I was apart of the sweetest and quite daring meet cute of my life.

I started my day as normal as could be on a cold January morning in Nashville, Tn

and head to the Starbucks I was working at that morning.

I went along with my tasks greeting customers and taking orders.

I never would've thought he would walk through those doors but the beauty of it was that I had no clue who he was.

He and his friend order their drinks as they did each day before this one.

But after they went and sat down I couldn't help but think how handsome the young man was.

Then I felt a voice say, go tell him. I argued until the thought,

"I'll probably never see him again do what does it matter" pushes me to just go for it.

I head out to the lobby after having a pep talk with myself.

I see him sitting with his friend and they're reading their Bibles it made my heart smile.

So, after making random conversation I blurt out mid sentence,

"Well yeah I just wanted to let you know you're incredibly handsome and I'll probably never see you again. So.."

I'm so glad I was wrong... I did see him again 8months later after attending Eastgate.

Then 10 months after that started my journey with him.

I didn't know it then but the young man that walked in that day would become my best friend.

My sweet encourager. My rescuer. My boyfriend. The one that would change my life.

God writes the greatest love stories.

I am so thankful that He knew what I didn't and He saw my future before I did

and gave me the greatest gift I never saw coming.

Jhason Smith, I love you and I am so thankful for that day and for you. <3

day 109

i miss you,

come home.
