Since my parents are going on a trip in May, I went home to Gainesville for Mother’s Day exactly a month early. Gainesville is fascinating and the people are so interesting.

Go Gators!
The last time we made it to the Final Four, I was in grad school. UF received so many student tickets and took charter busses full of students to Dallas. Things like this are a once in a lifetime opportunity. So my friend, Nicole, and I went! & we had the best time: concert inContinue reading “Go Gators!”

Hosting: Galentine’s
Over winter break, I went to dinner with my girlfriends. We started talking about Galentine’s & I have always wanted to host a Favorite Things party, so the idea was born: a Galentine’s Favorite Things party.

Paris- Traveling and Day One
Let’s rewind to January 2024. I get a text from my parents to call them. They had read an article that said that you could go to Paris for the Olympics at a reasonable price-think flights, hotel, and tickets to events. Since Jermaine and I were going to be celebrating five years of marriage InContinue reading “Paris- Traveling and Day One”
