Head on over to anaspiringheroine.com to see what all the fuss is about, and thanks for following along during this initial part of my blog journey!

What’s better than date night?
Impromptu date night, that’s what!
Last week was rough, you guys. I thought having Monday off would make it fly by, but I was oh so wrong. Spencer and I both had really long work days, and by the time we got back from the gym (because I still haven’t chickened out of my fitness goal for the year!), all we wanted to do was heat up leftovers and sit mindlessly in front of the TV. Certainly not the most romantic thing in the world.
As we were lifting on Thursday because I lift weights now, I asked Spencer what he wanted for dinner and hoped that he would say “Hot dogs and baked beans sound great to me!” (If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably seen the hot dog toaster that my college roommate gifted us when we first moved into the apartment.

Warning: This post will contain spoilers if you haven’t finished Edith Wharton’s novel, The Age of Innocence. Give it a read and come back! We’ll wait.

Now, let’s dive in, shall we? Continue reading

I thought it might be nice to have a bit of an introduction to the book, and I also have tons of random questions that I kept track of while reading the book, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on them. Oh, and there may be a little surprise at the end. I guess you’ll have to read and see for yourself! Continue reading
Five things I would do differently on my wedding day
Since you don’t exactly get another chance at having a perfect wedding (or at least the goal is to not…), I figured I would share with you all of the things that I would do differently if I could just convince Spencer that having a wedding 2.0 would be super fun instead of the most stressful and irrelevant thing imaginable. Hindsight is 20/20, am I right? Continue reading
