Life is truly unpredictable! Yesterday, Mike & I were the videographers at @comfortcases Annual Gala 🎥💛 A little back story... I first heard of @rob_scheer story & non-profit in 2017 while scrolling on Facebook. Comfort Cases is a local Montgomery County organization striving to make a big impact (nationally) in the lives of kids in the foster system. Needless to say, @Mikerickey_ & I started volunteering and learning more about this amazing organization since then.

It's crazy, because two years ago, Mike & I were only doing personal vlogs to document our adventures. Two months ago we took the plunge to start booking events. Exactly one month ago, we filmed our first wedding. Believe me, in 2017, when I first saw the video about Comfort Cases... I never thought we would be their event videographers but it's a little crazy how life works 🤗 #MyHeartIsFull .

This has been the most stressful, surprising, hectic, exciting, busiest week EVER 🙃 but our newest repeat fur client has been the best little companion. I've been corgi obsessed for a long time 😍 Being a professional dog sitter has allowed me to take care of some of my dream pups! @mikerickey_ & I take care of all of the pups like they are our own furbabies ♥️ DM if you need a dog sitter sometime soon, I'd love to meet you pup! #TheDogPeople
Last week was the first full week I got to sleep in my own bed since mid-march! Kind of crazy, kind of cool ✈️I looked back on my planner and realized I've only been home for 9 full weeks this year, so it's safe to say that it's been a busy season in all aspects of my life!

I recently noticed that the same book had been sitting on my night stand, unread, for weeks (ok, months) 🙈 So, I decided that instead of downloading Netflix episodes for my flights or hotel room, I would start bringing books that have been on my reading list for quite some time 📚

I'm getting back into my routine of doing book reviews on my blog! First up, Marley & Me. A true dog lovers classic read! Have you read the book and/or watched the movie? Which did you like better? #LinkInBio for my thoughts! 🐶📖
Last weekend, Mike & I randomly went into an open house in my area that was hosted by @redfinrealestate. We ate cookies & chatted with the Redfin agent who informed us that Redfin holds homebuyers info events pretty frequently at restaurants in the area. We decided to attend one of the events this past Tuesday at @eggspectationdmv & learned SOOO MUCH. Whether you're looking to buy now, in a while, or a few year down the road... I highly recommend attending one of Redfins home buyer events. It's never too early to start learning about the process of buying a home, the lingo, and how to better prepare yourself for when you are ready to embark on the crazy ride that is buying a home. PLUS, lots of good info, paired with free dinner & drinks, and in good company of the Redfin agents made for a good time. If you know me, you know that I'm pretty big on my finances so I asked a TON of questions. If you're interesting in learning more about buying a house, search on Redfins website for an info event near you. Like I said, it's never to early to learn and take steps to prepare ❤️🏡🍝🍪📝
5 years ago Mike asked me to be his girlfriend & a few months later he asked another big question ❤️ What a crazy ride it's been ever since. So thankful for this goofball & all of the love, support, and adventures. An extra thank you for staying up every night to help me with crafts, studying, side hustles, or just to keep me company. I know it's corny to acknowledge an old dating anniversary but love ya @mikerickey_ !
