A walk through the garden for @thombrowneny this afternoon...thank you for having me be apart of your fantasy world again 💕✨ Also, someone epic needs to shoot me as an 18th century renaissance woman with a dagger & pearls thank you very much 🗡
Saw a 2016 post for the first time a few days ago and thought I was going crazy. But had to hop on this trend because 2016 was a wild year for me. It was my first full year of modeling. I moved to NYC(if you call staying at different model apts month by month before you move to the next place moving) with around 1k in my bank account & a childhood dream that I didn’t realize was about to come true. I traveled the world by myself & met so many amazing people, some of which I still keep in touch with, & others I wish I would talk to again. I was the number one walker in NYFW. Had many editorials, shows & ecomm shoots. Went to lots of parties, restaurants, shows & overall just lived my best life wherever the job took me with whoever I was with. Some days I miss the craziness, but I always cherish the memories ✨
Well, this year was one for the books. Started it off getting my scuba cert & getting engaged in Mexico. Got my crestie, Loki. Saw a favorite band & stayed on the ocean. Got married in June! Became a Rolex specialist. Had two reception parties, here & in Iowa with all of the family & my closest friends. Ended it in December with our dog of 16 years passing on. Highs, & lows. That’s life. Thankful for another year, one I will never forget. To all my people, thanks for being apart of it ✨ Happy New Year 🎉
This year Christmas looks different. It feels confusing; grief, joy, gratefulness all at once. Two nights ago we lost our buddy, Rocky Balboa. He was almost 17, we got him when he was just a baby. I was supposed to be writing an essay in the computer lab, but instead I was researching Jack Russell Terriers. We picked him up in the parking lot of the Cracker Barrel & the rest was history. Before Rocky, we never were allowed a pet growing up so he was the biggest gift to my siblings and I we could imagine. We spent the majority of the past 16 years playing ball, cuddling, walking to the park or the golf course, where he would run loose, tongue out, happy & free. He was so well tempered if I called for him, he came. I trusted him fully, he was my furry brother. I will never forget the many years with his sweet, curious, intelligent, independent & loving soul. RIP Rocky, thank you for making our life better & for all the love and memories. You will never be forgotten and will always be missed. Run free 🐕🌬️
