About Us


This blog was originally created to document our journey through medical school, our engagement, our wedding, moving from city to city/job to job, & starting our lives together. As time passed, it has morphed into so much more. You'll find that blogging is my creative outlet while John is pursuing his dream of becoming a physician.


The Sweetest Thing is a popular song by U2. In the song it says, “a blue eyed boy met a brown eyed girl, oh, oh, The Sweetest Thing”… if you’ve seen a photo of John & me, you’ll see that we fit the description and it truly is the sweetest thing!

After the completion of my MBA, I moved to be with John in Blacksburg, Virginia as he was completing his first year of medical school. I spent one year in Blacksburg and then he got placed in Abingdon, VA for his 3rd year rotations. Currently, John is finishing up his 3rd year rotations and I manage a boutique called Serendipity in Tennessee. We will be moving again this summer, home, to Arkansas where my entire family lives.

John & I were married July 7th, 2012 in Springdale, Arkansas.

  4. Love your cute blog! My hubby is in optometry school and his home is NW Arkansas--so that's where we're headed after this four-year journey is over. Thanks for giving this California girl hope about living in AR someday :)

  7. This is such a cute story! You say you are moving back to Arkansas... will you be in Springdale?! My aunt, uncle and cousins live in Springdale (and my grandparents, who are no longer with us used to live in Springdale as well). I have lots of great memories of Springdale as we used to visit once or twice a year!
