I got married! I've been neglecting my blog for a while, so what better way to start writing again and bring in the new year than sharing moments from one of the best days of my life.

I underestimated the power of having most of your loved ones in one place at the same time. Wow. Just wow! I have not smiled and laughed that much in my whole life. My husband and I felt (and continue to feel) all the love that day. So blessed and grateful that everything went well. Thank God!

I could do a series of posts on wedding planning and the mental gymnastics, Hope and I went through but I'll leave that for another day. Right now, I'm going to focus on all the smiles, laughter and dancing ( A LOT OF DANCING) from that day. Enjoy!

Also, extremely grateful for the incredible vendors who brought our day to life:

*Retired and not taking orders. Came out of retirement for us. A close family friend, so grateful! 

I love this moment. Praying with our mamas before the night was coming to an end. 

 

It’s been a while since I did an outfit post! Keeping it short and sweet. Pastel green, smoothie green… maybe even matcha green is my favorite color. Although, I hardly gravitate towards bright colors when I put an outfit together. I guess… It’s never too late to switch things up. 

I'm 30! I am so grateful and filled with so much love. To say I've been here for 3 decades is all thanks to God. I spent the days leading up to my birthday reading my old blog articles, journals and looking at old photos. The nostalgia hit me hard! I really miss documenting what's happening around me and in my life. 

Hence, why I'm writing again and sharing on my blog for the first time in over 2 years. What better way to get back into journaling and blogging than a letter to my future self?

Dear Future Feyi,

First of all, I'm loving the alliteration.... "Future Feyi". You know, we love that. i.e the blog title, social media handle, "Marveling Mind". Okay, let's get serious, well as serious as I can be. Everyone knows I can be a fool (and proud of it 😉). 

30 years has passed. A lot has happened. Good and bad. You have cried tears of joy and sorrow. Every drop has made you stronger and more compassionate. This year has a lot of big moments coming your way. You turned 30, you got a new job, you are celebrating your marriage, and you are planning to move. 

With change coming, you have spent a lot of time reflecting on the past and those that could not be here to celebrate your present and future wins. I miss you, Dad. I hope, Auzoyah and I are making you proud. I pray you have a front row seat to see the woman I'm becoming, and Grandma is sitting
right next to you. 

Future Feyi, please keep smiling and laughing. Don't ever take life too serious. The humor you got from your Dad and the grace you got from your Mum is what has carried you this far and will continue to push you forward. 

Love,
Feyi

Well, well, well... it's been a while since I've been on here. While I've been away, a lot has happened, and mostly good things. I wish I could go into detail, alas... I'll save that for a different post. Sorry!

Today, I'm sharing a quick round-up of the series, movies, podcasts... and much more that I've been loving. Of course, this is a VERY SMALL selection of all the media I partake in. These picks are things I have consumed more than once or find myself unreasonably excited about. 

Enjoy! 

Book - A Court of Thorns & Roses 

I've always been into fiction but never thought I'd be reading a book about pointy-eared magical people. But here we are. *shrug* I'm currently on the second book in the series, and I highly recommend it. I would say the first book is like Beauty and the Beast for adults. Not the best description but enough to give you an idea, I hope.

I entered 2022, a homeowner and I am still adjusting to this change. Before I got here... there were a few steps I had to take. In this video, I explain the process I went through to buy my home. I hope the information in the video is helpful if you are planning to buy a home now or in the future.
