Hey y'all!!
Good news! I've been writing for this new website called Spotlight Country that's based here in LA. So much fun!! It's a website that gives you all things country, but one of the only sites that is actually based in Hollywood! Talk about bringing country music to the city...because "country must be country-wide," right?!
So if you love country music or just want to check out the blogs I've been writing, then head to www.spotlightcountry.com! You can also follow us on Twitter at @spotcountry and like us on Facebook! Y'alls support would be amazing!
And definitely let me know if you want to read more info about certain topics!
This is an amazing opportunity, especially since y'all know how much I want to be a host for CMT one day!! What a great way to get started! :)
Always have faith!!

Happy Anniversary Momma and Daddy!!!
Wow...28 years! Can you believe that??
From high school sweethearts to now - that's pretty amazing! It's definitely something I aspire to have with a special someone one day.
I can only imagine the ups and downs of such a long-term relationship, but what an amazing triumph to support and love one another for 28 years.
It seems that a love like this is rare in the society we live in today, but couples like my parents give us single 20-somethings faith! :)
So Mom and Dad...congrats to 28 years of marriage! I pray there will be many, many more to come.

What happens in Vegas...
Vegas baby!!!
What a crazy place...let me tell you! I headed to Las Vegas for the first time ever to celebrate my friend's bachelorette party, and boy did we have some fun!
Everywhere you go people are just gambling there money away! There were even slot machines at the Denny's where we ate breakfast haha!
And usually there are tons of groups of people celebrating something - whether it's a birthday party or a bachelor/bachelorette party! So it's tons of fun to be around groups from all over! You never know who you'll meet in Vegas!
I loved driving down the strip with all of the lights too! It was so cool to actually see it in person. Gorgeous hotels and crazy clubs!
And let's not forget the shows that are just made for bachelorette parties!! ;)
But like we all say: what happens in Vegas...stays in Vegas!
Y'all will just have to go and see for yourselves!
Always have faith!!

Happy Mother's Day!!
What a special day!
This is the day to tell your momma just how much she means to you! Let me tell you...mine has definitely played a huge role in my life.
I wouldn't be the person I am today without her amazing influence. Over the years, we've had so many great memories together. She taught me how important it is to be kind to everyone you meet, because you never know what people are going through. She taught me to follow my dreams and has supported me greatly along my path to get where I want to be. And, she has taught me to be a woman of courage and humility. I owe everything to her.
I pray for many more memories with my sweet and special mom. I love you Kimmy Fern!!!
Make sure you think about your mom on this special day!
Always have faith!!

Definitely know my passion!
This weekend was a blast! Nope...not because it was relaxing or because it was Cinco De Mayo, but because I had a weekend long hosting class!!!
That's right, my whole weekend was spent polishing my hosting skills, working with co-hosts, and having pseudo talk shows! It was a lot of work, but I learned so much! And it made me want to start working as a host that much more! :)
The class was taught by the fabulous Suzanna Sena who has worked at E!, Fox, and is now currently on The Onion. She had so much experience and advice to share with us. What made the class even better though was that most of the people from the Level 1 class I took were in it with me! YAY!! We had the best time ever, and I know so many people from my class have the talent to make it so far with hosting.
It feels so good to know what I want to do in this life. I have so much excitement and passion for hosting that I don't know what to do with myself haha! And if you've ever seen me act like my hyper, crazy self, then you can only imagine what I'm like when I get to talk nonstop and feel like I've had tons of caffeine when it's really just me being super enthusiastic! I just love it!
I'll keep y'all posted on what happens next! My hosting reel is almost finished...woohoo!!!

Oh Virginia...you will always have my heart :)
What a great couple of weeks!
I visited my good ole home state of Virginia twice this month!! I had an impromptu trip home to spend time with my family and then I just had to go back to UVA for Foxfield of course! :)
I'm not gonna lie...although I LOVE LA, I'm definitely a Southern girl at heart. Sometimes you just need to enjoy that slower and more relaxing pace of life.
I will tell y'all though - I definitely had to watch my road rage back when I was in Abingdon. Shew...no one ever goes over the speed limit it seems like. Stark contrast from this big city that I've gotten used to. Not only do people speed any chance they get (considering there's tons of traffic all the time), but no matter what, people always run the yellow lights out here. Back in Virginia...people slow down the second they think the light is gonna turn yellow haha! Oh well...it's good to be reminded that I need to have some patience every once in a while!
It was great being in Abingdon for a few days though. I love spending time with my family and reminiscing about the good old days - until lots of changes happen and shift your focus. I got to catch up with high school friends too. We just had to see the movie The Lucky One as soon as it came out. Oh boy...did Zac Efron look good in that one haha! Still...The Notebook was better. ;)
And this past weekend...I took a trip down memory lane. I went back to Cville to visit my college friends and enjoy one of the best days of the year - Foxfield. On Friday, we drove down from DC to Charlottesville. First stop: Bel Air Market for one of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life. Nothing compares to that little shop attached to a gas station. Then we headed to Kings Family Vineyard so we could enjoy the gorgeous, sunny day and have some Virginia wine. I have to admit...my favorite part of the day was spending time chatting with my friends and staring at the beautiful VA mountains! Later, we all got dressed up and headed downtown to Bang! What a fun place. Definitely one of my favorites!
So beautiful Friday leads to rainy Saturday. Of course, the day that we have to be outside all day for the horse races is rainy and freezing! Ugh! At least the rain let up eventually....but I did hang out under a tent for quite sometime. I would have loved to run around and socialize more, but oh well!
Then of course, on Sunday it's gorgeous and sunny again! That always how it happens haha. But that was a great day too. It doesn't get better than sitting out on the Lawn and looking at the amazing university you attended. I'll tell ya one thing is for sure...you come to appreciate certain aspects of what your life used to be like way more when you haven't been around it in a while! How blessed I was to go to such a beautiful school with the best of friends!
I did spend a good 22 years in Virginia...so that place will always be my first home. Great memories and great friends. You gotta love every stage in life though!
Now on to making more memories in Los Angeles... :)
Always have faith!!
