A day in the life of Cooper

Meet the world's worst BEST dog!

This is how I look when you try to eat. It is so pitiful.

This is where I like to position myself in the car. I don't know why you always put me in the backseat, I always end up here!

I know there is something fabulous under this bed.

I think I'm a small little puppy. 87 lbs? I think not!

For Halloween, I was a jailbird.

Who wouldn't want to be me?

Derek's Swearing In

On Valentine's Day, Derek was sworn in as a member of the South Carolina Bar! This was such an incredible Valentine's Day present for the both of us. I know good things are going to come his way soon :)







And now it is OFFICIAL!

Somethings you may not know about ME:

I’m a hopeless romantic

I absolutely hate doing my own hair

The gym is not my friend but, I’m working on this one

I am beyond obsessed with babies

I believe Cooper (the dog) is 17% human

I talk to myself constantly

I love Home Goods stores

I don’t like to ride in the car for very long at all

Derek knows me better than I probably know myself

I quit my job and started grad school at USC in January

I love weddings

I wish I still lived in Charlotte

I would wear a dress over pants or a skirt any day

I loathe roaches

Derek and I love to see movies together

I’m rarely cranky, unless I am hungry or tired :)

I knew Derek was something special on our very first date

Sometimes I have terrible diarrhea of the mouth

And we’ll leave it at that!

My best friend is getting MARRIED!

Erin has been one of my best friends since the day we met at PC in 2005. I talk to her almost every day and she is the best friend a girl could ask!

Erin and Hunter have been dating for a while now and I knew they would eventually get married. On Christmas day, I called Erin and sarcastically said "are you engaged yet?" These words just came out of my mouth without much thought behind them and I didn't expect her to say yes. I was right, they were not engaged.

HOWEVER, later that night I saw that I had missed two calls from Erin. Odd...I thought to myself. I knew in my head then that something big had happened. I called her and she said "Hunter proposed!" I screamed, teared up, babbled a little, and told her how happy I was for both of them.

Now Erin sports a beautiful engagement ring that once belonged to Hunter's grandmother. The big day is October 8th and I can't wait!

Congratulations Erin and Hunter!
