It has been four months since I've posted a Thankful Thursday post! That's a long time, so I wanted to share with you five things I'm thankful for this week. 1. For Greg and my other furry friends. God has been surprising me with all sorts of love notes lately, and some of those love notes consist of his living creatures coming to visit. Now that I've settled into this old farm house, the animals in my yard have gotten used to me, which means I see them more and more. I now have a pet groundhog named Greg and two bunnies named Bonnie and Clyde. I love spotting them! 2. For walks and the Continue Reading
Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie
I love smoothie bars. Once when we were in Knoxville visiting family, I went to The Juice Bar literally every day to get a smoothie for lunch. They were amazing!

This chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie is no different. Here's what you'll need: Cocoa powder Peanut butter (or almond butter) Bananas, sliced and frozen Honey Milk (or almond milk) Start by slicing the bananas and putting them in the Continue Reading

Dining Room Reveal
Let the home projects begin. Now that I'm back from Korea, I'm back to fixing up my old farm house. I finished the bathroom before I left, and today I'm sharing our dining room reveal. We really didn't have to do much. We ripped up the carpet to reveal the beautiful hardwood floors underneath. We changed the light fixture. And we added some blinds instead of curtains. I like my dining room, especially the windows that add so much light. Unfortunately, that same light made it a little hard to take photos. Let's start with some before photos. Be sure to notice the carpet, the curtains, and Continue Reading

6 Things to Do in Oahu
Are you heading to Hawaii? Perhaps to the island of Oahu? Travis and I recently got to visit Hawaii, and it was awesome to say the least. The Army sent him there to take a class for a week, and I wasn't about to let him go without me! So we got me a plane ticket too, and off we went to a place I've always wanted to go! We had six days to do everything we wanted, and I was surprised that we fit everything into one week! During the day, I would go explore on my own while Travis was in class. I would pick him up in the evenings and we'd adventure out together. After our time in Oahu, I came Continue Reading
83 Grill in Daegu
When we visited the 83 Tower in Daegu, we learned one of the very top floors is a romantic restaurant. We made reservations. We were both excited to get dressed up and have a romantic date night at this new restaurant. The restaurant was beautiful and fancy and romantic -- perfect for a special date. I loved the chandeliers on the ceiling, the huge bouquets of flowers, the candles on the tables -- all of it. The very best part was the view of course! We could see the whole city with all its sparkling lights. Oh, and did I mention the restaurant rotated?! Yes, it rotates so you get a 365 Continue Reading

A Guide to Korean Food
I am a picky eater. I always have been. My go-to dish is chicken strips and french fries. When in doubt, order that. So when I visited South Korea to see my husband who's living there, I was very nervous about the food! In fact, our first time going to a Korean restaurant made me break out in a sweat. I was so nervous that I wouldn't like anything! And not knowing what you're ordering or even eating once it arrives didn't help matters. For those of you who may be feeling panicked at the thought of trying these new foods, I've created this guide to Korean food to help you stay calm in the Continue Reading

Mother's Day is upon us. I don't know about you, but my mom is one of my very best friends. In fact, I'd say as far as best friends go, my husband is #1 and my mom is #2.
