"I'm going to start a blog!"

 

This has been my New Years Resolution for the past 3 years. A few years ago my mom and I started reading a lot of blogs. We became addicted to learning about everything from extreme couponing to cooking every meal you can ever imagine. Blogging is such a fun way to share about life and the lessons learned along the way. As I settle into the middle of my summer, I have finally worked up the gumption to start my own blog. I have just entered into the sweetest season of life and I am thinking this is a perfect time to start documenting it.

 

A little about me:

 

 

 

My name is Gemma (pronounced Jay-ma). The meaning of my name is "precious gem" and I have never gone a day in my life without explaining to someone how to pronounce my name. I am a lover of Jesus, coffee, coke zero, chocolate chip cookies, fashion, decorating, my friends, my family, and my new husband Austin. This blog is a way to share all of those loves with you!

 

 

On April 20th, 2013 I married my very best friend, Austin. Austin and I met and were friends in highschool but didn't date until the end of college. It was truly God's faithfulness that brought us together and marriage has been one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. I am learning every day what it means to be a wife and a best friend to this incredible gift that God has given me! We love going to the movies and eating lots of popcorn, watching the Braves (well really he watches the Braves while I pinterest), traveling, and spending times with all of the people we love. I hope that this blog can be a way I document all of the way's God has filled our lives with joy!

 

"The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with JOY."

Psalm 126:3
