"The purpose of our lives is to be happy."

Happy in love with my best friend. Living every day to the fullest & smiling as much as I can! Optimistic & always looking for a good time with family & friends. Puppy mom who can't say no to wet noses & wagging tails. Philanthropist with hopes to change the world. Laughter is the best medicine.

Last weekend was one for the books! Beyond thrilled for my other half on his 2nd place finish in Long Beach, California. I have seen him work his tail off this off season and he deserves these podium finishes. Fingers crossed for many more to come!

Always appreciate when I find a quote that hits the nail on the head. Learning each day how important being myself is and that I’m more than enough. It’s a hard battle and we always want others to like us but how is that possible if we aren’t being true to ourselves? Is it important to have lots of friends or a few great friends who love you for you? I’ll take the second option!

A weekend in Chicago with my favorite girls was just what the doctor ordered. I can’t even begin to explain the amount of love I have for these amazing ladies. It feels so wonderful to pick right up where we left off and means even more that we’re close enough of friends to do so. College truly blessed me beyond words and I couldn’t be more grateful to have such a great support system. Plus a fun bunch of girls to keep me feeling young! ;)

Isn’t that the truth?! Beyond thrilled to have a career that I am so passionate about. Nothing beats working with children and giving back to those in need. I’ve lived such a wonderful life, time to pay it forward and help others do the same.

LOVE this. Grateful to be surround by so many uplifting people who constantly push me to achieve my dreams.

Well it’s my second time up in Canada at Graham’s summer home and let me tell you, I adore this place. Here is a picture of me with our dogs Dexter and Dude before we went out on the water. This night we had a picnic on the beach with everyone plus five dogs. It was a blast! More photos to come!

These reminders are something that will help guide you to being the best YOU and no one else. Happy reading!

Thankful for that special someone who has given the “L word” meaning. Finally, the real deal. Forever and always.
