The Inner Drive To Plan I am a planner. (And that's an understatement, haha.) I've been that way my whole life. I LOVED the day we first got our planners in 3rd grade. It was like a dream come true.

Anyone else like that? :) I'm the type of planning personality that can drive a more low-key personality … [Read more...]

Initially, I thought I'd decided not to have a reveal party, but as time went on, I kept thinking how special it would be to find out with family members … [Read more...]
