Our Love Story

Our first photo together

I have been blogging about my upcoming wedding but I realize I never explained how Anthony and I met and how we got to where we are today. I want to take this week to explain our love story. 

Anthony and I met when we were in high school; Anthony was a sophomore and I was a freshman. We didn't go to the same high school, but our schools were in the same league. I went to watch my brother play basketball at Anthony's school one night and I noticed a cute boy wearing number three playing against my brother. I asked my friend from his school who he was and she told me his name was Anthony McFadden. Naturally I tell my mom about this cute boy named Anthony and somehow she knows his aunt. So being the nosey mother she is, my mom tells his aunt I think he's cute. His aunt tells his mom and his mom tells him. A couple days later on Super Bowl Sunday, I saw a direct message on Instagram from Anthony. I guess you could say the rest is history. 

I still have our messages on my Instagram account because it was by far one of the best days of my life. If you would've told me I would be marrying the boy that messaged me on Instagram almost seven years ago, I would've said you were crazy. We were so young and neither one of us were looking for a lifelong partner at the time but God had other plans. 

I could not ask for a more perfect man to marry. Anthony knows how to calm me down when I'm stressed, he knows how to handle my attitude and he knows how to make me feel like the most special girl in the world. I couldn't imagine life without him.

Snapchat

I remember when I first downloaded Snapchat. I remember thinking "I have to look presentable every day now because people will actually see what I look like every day." For everyone that doesn't know, Snapchat is a social media app that started at just a way to communicate by sending pictures back and forth. It has now advanced into a form of social media. You can share stories, which are pictures or videos that everyone you are friends with on snapchat can see, and you can see different magazine type subscription stories. Now that I have had Snapchat for multiple years, I don't know what I would do without it. I snap my friends on a daily basis and it's basically the root of all my laugher. Now you can make snap groups, which means you can have multiple people in a group and you can send pictures to the group like normal group message, and I have so many with my friends. We send anything from drama we want to spill to TikToks in these groups and it is so much f...

Birdin' Around Town

One of my new favorite activities is Birding. I found Bird's in Atlanta, Georgia two years ago and every time I go to any city that has Birds, it is a necessity. You're probably asking what Birds are. Bird is a company that has placed motor scooters around cities to help with transportation and help with the carbon footprint. Bird has created a fun yet helpful way to get around the city. It is super easy to use as well. All you do is download the Bird app, add a credit or debit card, then you're set. When it's time to bird, you pull up the app and scan the bird you are wanting to use. Once you scan it, it will begin your ride and you can ride for as long as you want. The more you use the app, the cheaper your rides become. When you're done, you select end ride and take a picture of your scooter to prove you didn't wreck it. This concept is so smart and a great way to show how technology and social media is growing everyday. Who knew you would be able to driv...

Dream Job Became Reality

When you hear someone is a model what do you picture? A beautiful girl with flawless hair, skin, makeup? Maybe someone that's really tall and slender.  Yeah, I did too, well until I had the chance to model myself. I never in a million years would have imagined that I could have the opportunity to model for anyone at all. I am 5 feet, 5 inches tall, I weigh way more than a typical model and I have more visible muscle than most girls do, but this didn't prevent me from booking my first modeling job in 2016. I was so excited because I had traveled to shows with my mom to buy dresses for her bridal and formal store for a few years already and every time I wanted to model so bad but never thought I would get the chance. Like I said before, I did my first show in March 2016 and I have continued modeling since. I have modeled for two dress designers; Rachel Allan and House of Wu . With a job this like comes traveling, but I can't complain. I have traveled to cities like Chica...
