The Sistine Chapel!

It has always been on my bucket list. I want to let my own eyes see the majesty and beauty of some of the best art work by Renaissance painters.

Botticelli, Perugino, Pinturricchio, Ghirlandaio, Roselli, and of course, Michelangelo!!! Only the best!


The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo
The Last Judgement by Michelangelo

I almost feel like I would have to lay on the floor to be able to enjoy it all. I can't imagine the neck cramp if I have to stand the entire time.


I have to agree with Johann Wolfgang Geothe, who said, "Without having seen the Sistine Chapel one can form no appreciable idea of what one man is capable of achieving.".


Yup. I'm patiently waiting to appreciate.

What a weekend! I'll take another, please.

Well, I don't know about you but my weekend went by slowly. Saturday, Tyler headed to Springfield for an oil change and I to St Joe, to get the girl's their annual shots. Per my Instagram (itzamemari), you can see Maya was not having all the poking and prodding. Poor girl. June took it but both of them had heightened senses and were stressed. Least it's done and over with. I spent the afternoon doing a friend's nails and then went on an hour long bike ride around the neighborhood. Sunday, Tyler and I went for a bike ride after church. I actually got back on the Grom for the first time after my spill. It wasn't scary and I easily took off multiple times in first gear. Shockingly, I've done a better job at listening to the bike while the clutch flutters and giving it gas at the right time. Confidence isn't high but it's at a good start. So most of you know by now, via Instagram, that Tyler and I bought a new vehicle. I said good bye to my Subaru Impr

Welcome back to a new beginning!! Tyler and I arrived home on Sunday around 10:30p. Not too shabby after a turbulent flight. I ended up falling asleep on the way home (figures). Let me just say 'thank you' to everyone I saw, spent time with, etc. It was so wonderful to see each of you! The hospitality that was shown towards Tyler and I was unbelievable. Maryland is truly home for me and it's always wonderful coming home. We had a whirlwind of a trip and you can see it all over my Instagram page...but I'll just post a smattering of photos here too. Enjoy. Headed home to MD.....Giant ornaments at Indy Airport

This weekend we did some chores, some buying of furniture and some socializing. I must be brief, as we're going to be leaving for church any minute here.... Saturday, we spent most of the day looking for items to hang on our second gallery wall....in the midst of finding these items, I found a desk that I must have. Backstory: I've been searching for about a year now for my desk. I was using a desk from Tyler's side of the family that had been passed down, and while it was sentimental it wasn't really a desk I liked. So the search commenced.... We looked it over and figured that it wasn't a bad find. Sturdy, clean, girly, and decently priced. So we bought it. :) Well we gathered everything we got yesterday and put it up in our landing area and made me a space!!! Pictures below and now I have a proper office space!!! <3
