{happy hour: bethany from rinse repeat}

Aren’t you excited!? It’s officially happy hour. Or, it will be, for me at least, in about four hours. But until then, I have another beautiful blogger for you to meet today. And I’m extra excited about her, because I’m pretty sure we could best friends in real life. Seriously, I adore this girl, and she takes the most beautiful pictures. If you haven’t met Bethany before, I highly recommend that you go say hi today. I promise you’ll find your new favorite blog!

It's a little old school, but my fave cocktail is a Lemon Drop. This recipe is easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy and one of the few I know how to make! Unfortunately, alcohol is illegal in Kuwait...so you can bet I'm filling up on these during my last few days in the US!

{If you don't have a cocktail shaker, a travel coffee cup will work just fine! Follow instructions above and once you've shaken, just flip the "sip" hole open and strain!}

I'm a 25 year old smalltown girl who writes about crafts, decor, my cake addiction, and most regularly...my emotions. Four years ago, I started blogging simply to dig myself out of a bout of depression. My blog began as the story of single girl just about to start college, but life changed dramatically when I became email pen pals with a cute boy in Iraq who dared me to meet him for real in Ireland, during his leave.

I applied for a passport and accepted that dare. Now, that cute boy is my (still cute!) husband! As a sentimental girl, my favorite blog posts are those that sum up our love story and wedding.

How I met my husband.
How my husband proposed.
How I asked my best friends to be bridesmaids.
Our crazy wedding story.

Isn’t she just adorable? And you really do have to read her wedding story. It’s amazing!

Thanks Bethany!
