About Me

Hey y'all! I'm so glad you're here. I'm 22 years old, an army wife to Chase, a mama to Henry Duke, and a child of God. I'm Alabama raised, Kansas based, and Georgia bound. I'm a level 3 nursing student and will graduate with my BSN in May of 2021 with hopes of becoming an L&D nurse. I'm stoked to show you my love for family, faith, and fashion. I can't wait to see where this road leads to. Thanks so much for stopping by and showing some love! It's greatly appreciated.
Xoxo, Vi โ™ก

When I met this little boy a year ago, I had no idea how much fun we would have or the bond that we would build. Being his mama is easily the greatest thing Iโ€™ve ever done and I canโ€™t believe itโ€™s already been 365 days since he was born. I would give anything to turn back the clock and do it all over again. Hereโ€™s to the rest of our lives baby boy. We love you to the moon and back, HD ๐Ÿค
