Say Yes to New Adventures (Engagement Story)
Dear friends, please celebrate with us! I’m so excited to share that my wonderful boyfriend James asked me to marry him, and I said yes. Here’s the story for all you romantics. Let’s take a road trip, he said. James has been going to Beech Mountain, North Carolina for years, and last winter, I went for the first time as part of our church group’s ski trip.

How to Have a Happy Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day might be the one holiday that leaves people feeling polar extremes of warm fuzzy or arctic cold. Honestly, it’s a holiday that holds a mixed bag for me, too. I had one boyfriend call our relationship quits on Valentine’s Day (necessary but not exceptionally thoughtful). Other years, I’ve celebrated “Galentine’s Day” with my girlfriends instead. This year, I’m focusing on old and new friends alike. I guess somewhere along the way, I realized that I can celebrate Valentine’s Day, regardless of my relationship status. Let me say that again.
