Written by Emily As many of you know I've taken on the sport of running. I started last January and it has honestly changed my life. I've become more confident in myself, my body, and my whole outlook on life. Running is my new “thing”, it’s my stress relief and something that I can do together with my husband. However, last weekend I had one of those “lows” that I used as an example in other parts of my life. Now, I’m not a very fast runner. I average a little under a 10 minute mile.

What I Wore Sunday: Volume 31
Hi everyone! Happy Sunday! And Feast of the Pentecost! I apologize for being MIA the past few weeks, if you didn't know I got married on May 4!
