Has it really been over a year?

Wassup, wassup, wassup!

Hello, all you beautiful people. It is I, Nakita the inconsistent blogger trying to make a comeback. Some of you may have wondered, why I stopped writing: in short, life happened and it just never seemed like the right time to come back. I'm back baby, I'm not waiting for a new season or even primetime. I'm back now, at 3:29AM EST on June  8th. 

The hiatus is up, i'm ready to rejoin my little slice of the internet.

U-P-D-A-T-E-S

Plenty more has gone on in a year, but that's the jist of it. More babies are in my life, wedding planning is in full bloom, I still have a shopping problem but I'm praying it lets up.Here's to my second attempt at this blogging thing, lets see where it takes me this time. Be blessed, and check back soon :)

Wedding fever is a little too real...

I've had the privilege of attending 6 weddings this year (only 5 are pictured.), and it's safe to say my wedding fever is at an all time high. I still have one more wedding to attend before 2017 hits, which is wild. Don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely overjoyed for all the lovely couples - but there is a longing deep inside for it to be my day. What almost all the couples have told me is that it is hard to be married, so it's not even that I have a lofty view of marriage. I believe a big part of this longing stems from the fact that I am indeed in a long distance relationship. As many challenges as the distance presents I believe we both try our best to make it simple. We talk about the future constantly because we are building in these stages. I pray I would elevate the covenant in my marriage over my actual wedding day. As I long to be married, I remind myself to enjoy the stage I'm at - and remind myself that we won't make it there if we rush the process.
