Here&Now turns 2!

Good morning y'all. This Thursday is exciting for more than just being the day before Friday. Today I have been blogging for 2 years! Before I start tearing up about where the past two years have hurried themselves off to... allow me to profusely thank you for following along with me & this crazy blogging journey that I am on.

I have to say that when I started blogging in 2011 I had ZERO clue what I was getting myself into. I underestimated the quality of friendships I would form. I failed to comprehend what I would learn about myself. I never dreamed that staying up until the wee hours of the morning teaching myself HTML code would be my idea of a good time.

Most of all, I could have never imagined the community that I would come to treasure here on Here&Now.

So for that I thank each & every one of you for showing up here every day & making me the happiest girl on the planet... literally, I'm floating!

While 26 years of life has taught me that I cannot predict what the future holds, I must tell you, I'm excited about it!

For this photoshoot I wanted to capture me - my favorite dress, the shoes you are most likely to see my wearing, the quirky armadillo belt that I paid way too much for from Kate Spade & love inordinately just as much. Prancing around at one of my favorite Nashville landmarks - the Parthenon.

Oh & I now can say that taking a giant golden balloon number to a tourist hot spot on a beautiful Fall Sunday evening is a social experiment in itself - the questions people ask!

Happy Birthday Here&Now!!!! (how many exclamation points before it gets out of hand?)

Tomorrow I am going to put myself into the Blogger Spotlight, so if you have any burning questions about life, pugs, blogging, fashion, etc. I would be more than happy to answer them! Give it to me!!

I also have to give my new friend Zipporah a gigantic internet smooch for these fabulous photos... this girl is gooooood! (Nashville ladies, bloggers, brides to be, take note of her beautiful blog & photography skilllllz!)
