"I can see us lost in the memories,August slipped away into a moment in time,'Cause it was never mine" Anyone else feel like this month never even happened? The more time that this pandemic takes up on my calendar, the more my days and months just seem to blend together. Because nothing really changes. That [...]
Welcome to the Dirty Myrtle! FUN FACT: Myrtle Beach was named (not after the crepe myrtle) but after the waxed myrtle bushes that grew abundantly in this region. Today it's known for its beaches, seafood, and numerous tourist attractions. Did I ever imagine myself calling this city my home? NEVER! But here we are two [...]
With a heavy heart, I write this post. I'm not here to condemn or condone, I'm here to call you in. Because the situation that we are in right now is because many people were never called out. I am a Hospital Medicine Physician Assistant in Myrtle Beach, SC. I have worked throughout this pandemic [...]
July was a whirlwind! Worked a few long stretches in the hospital. Celebrated Fourth of July at work because #lifeinmedicine. Went to in-person church for the first time since the pandemic. Had lunch with my freshmen roomie while she was vacationing with family at Litchfield. Went to Charleston to help my grandmother move into a [...]
Reading my bible daily is a practice I've always aspired after. Some years and seasons I've been more diligent than others. But for those of you that may not know, my dad is a pastor, so growing up, I always thought that reading your bible daily was just what "good Christians" did. But the older [...]

Went to the movies for the first time since 2020 and saw two movies (Cruella & In The Heights). Celebrated my friend Karen's birthday by going to the movies and eating sushi. Celebrated [...]
It's been TWO years since Cary and I said "I do"! Crazy how fast time flies. But in honor of our two year anniversary, I thought I'd share the recipe for our wedding signature cocktail. It was inspired by the place where my husband used to work: Blackberry Farms in Walland, TN. If you've never [...]
Today, my husband and I celebrate our TWO YEAR wedding anniversary! Two years of adventuring, growth, quarantining, and a whole lot of love. I remember the day we got married so vividly from start to finish. It was truly the best day of my life and I will cherish that joy, expectation, and excitement for [...]
TULA is one of my favorite beauty brands right now! Not only was TULA founded by a female (you go girl!), but their founder is also a practicing gastroenterologist. You may think that's an odd day job for someone who created a beauty brand, but lean in. TULA isn't like other beauty brands, because they [...]
Raise your hand if you hate doing laundry. It's probably one of my least favorite chores to do around the house. That and probably taking out the trash. Or maybe my least favorite is cleaning the toilet. It's a toss up between a few I guess! But thankfully I can now do my laundry with [...]
