Did I say I wanted to read 24 books for 2016 ??? I meant 15 …. Lol. Instead of wallowing in that completely unrealistic expectation I had for myself, I want to mention a few good things that happened before I get to the reviews of the books I did read! I finished going through the…
Hey beautiful ladies! I’m Saunya (pronounced like Tanya with an S), and I’m a city girl with a small town heart. I was born and raised in Chicago and still currently residing here. I’ve always had this fascination with smaller and calmer cities and truly believe that I will eventually end up relocating somewhere down…
Throughout my twenties, as a single woman, I found myself drifting in and out of fighting a strong desire to be married. As I look back, I can pinpoint different reasons for this desire and if I am honest with myself, most of them were bad reasons. It is only by the grace of God…
At the end of last year, I received an email from a sweet gal asking for encouragement in her season of waiting. She wasn’t waiting to meet her man, but she was feeling anxious waiting for him to propose. Her email was such a blessing for 2 reasons : 1.) It opened up a conversation…
We have all heard the stories (and maybe experienced it first hand) of that sweet friend who turns into a stressed out bridezilla!

Before we got married, I had two challenges to pray for Josh & I’s marriage and for him as a husband. I can honestly say that over the course of 1 month of praying I saw so much of the Lord’s hand in our lives that it forever changed the way I think about prayer….
I remember assisting Val on wedding days and noticing that there was such a difference between the younger and older brides. At the time, I probably exaggerated the picture in my mind of the “mature” brides wearing old fashioned pants suits to the rehearsal dinner or wedding dresses that were more demure and covered their…
Wedding planning, to me, never felt too stressful, even though we did it in 3 months. It was certainly busy, but I wasn’t terribly anxious, and I think the reasons why was because of the tools I had and the systems I put into place. Because we were on such a time crunch I knew…
“3 month engagement!? Are you pregnant???” I kid you not! This was an actual comment made when I told someone our wedding date! It took me a little off guard, but was made even more hilarious by the fact that Josh and I did not have sex until after we got married. You might be…
