I was so desperate to read The Hunger Games in high school that I posted on Facebook asking if I could borrow them from anyone who owned them (since the library had ridiculous holds and, at the time, I couldn’t afford to buy) 🙈 An extended family member offered to ship me her set to borrow and when the box arrived, I realized she bought me my own box set! 😱 It was an awesome gift (and I thoroughly enjoyed the books, of course)! 🎁

Wedding · December 18, 2017

I Said Yes!


I Said Yes!

Surprise! We’re engaged!

Okay, not that much of a surprise anymore because we got engaged in August and announced it on Instagram that very night … but after some not-so-patient waiting, we’re sharing the engagement story and photos so all of you can celebrate with us!  If you haven’t already seen the video of the night Brandon popped the question, you should definitely do that first!

Brandon works at an elite fitness center here in Richmond, and through him, I have a membership.  I’m there almost as often as he is, whether that’s because I’m working out or because I’m just popping in to visit him while he works.  It’s turned into a second home to us, and the team there has quickly become like family.  When Brandon decided to propose, he sent out a team-wide email and involved a bunch of the staff in preparing for the night.  In order to fool me (fun fact: I always figure out surprises. Somehow B has managed to get away with several, so I guess we truly were meant for each other), Brandon told me that there was going to be a team dinner and he could bring a plus-one.  They were to cater Chipotle and I should definitely come because there was a chance he would be getting an excellence award.

The day of this “team dinner,” (which also happened to be the night before our 2nd dating anniversary) I had one of the worst gastroparesis flare-ups since being diagnosed.  I didn’t even leave my bed and I was in excruciating pain.  B came over after he got off work and asked if I needed anything.  He then proceeded to beg me to “please, please come tonight.”  Of course, I thought he was nuts for even wanting me to get out of bed in my state.  Little did I know…

About thirty minutes before the dinner, I forced myself out of bed because I really wanted to be there for Brandon.  My mom was making dinner for my dad in the kitchen and I practically stumbled out the door, saying, “I’ll only be there for a little bit and then I’ll come home and get back into bed.”  When I showed up at the gym, a couple of our friends were waiting with Brandon at the front door.  Brandon’s first words were, “they’re almost out of sour cream” – and anyone who knows me knows that Chipotle’s sour cream is my favorite ever, so I didn’t want to miss out on that.  It put a little fire under my arse and I jetted down the track with Brandon towards one of the group fitness rooms.

The moment I walked in, I knew there was no dinner happening that night. The lights were down, but the disco ball was on.  

Tea-lights and rose petals lit up a pathway towards the instructor’s stage, where there was a bottle of champagne, two glasses, and a table decorated with more rose petals and photos of the two of us from the past few years.  I kept asking Brandon, “what’s going on?  What is this?” assuming that it was some special two-person dinner he put together to celebrate our anniversary.  He just held my hand and kept silent until we reached the stage.

Then he turned to look at me and his eyes welled up.  This was when I realized what was going on.  To be entirely honest, I barely heard a thing he said until, “will you please do me the honor of becoming Mrs. Stephanie Ramson?”  Up until then, I just kept thinking oh my gosh he’s proposing, oh my gosh he’s proposing!  Then suddenly we were both crying, and the room was flooded with all the staff and a few members at the gym, along with my parents, our best friends, and I realized the person standing in the corner with a camera the entire time was Brandon’s roommate (thanks, Chandler, for capturing that moment)!

It was an overwhelming chain of events, filled with so much joy and love that I will never be able to put it into words.  Of course, I immediately said, “YES!” and slid that beautiful rose gold ring on my finger.  I was pretty glad that I didn’t let my health get in the way of the most romantic, special night of my life, that’s for sure.  Oh, and don’t worry – Brandon still got Chipotle for me after we left the club.

A little over a month ago, I found out that I won engagement photos with J & D Photo LLC, a husband-and-wife photography duo here in RVA.  Brandon and I met up with them for a golden hour engagement shoot and they did an incredible job capturing our happiness. Stay tuned for more wedding preparations and fun!

I’ve been counting down the days until INTO THE HEARTLESS WOOD hit the shelves so that all of you could experience the magic that is this beautiful, haunting story! ✨ 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The official release was on Tuesday 🥳 And I got the incredible opportunity to interview the wonderfully talented author, @gamwyn (talk about a dream come true)! 🙌🏼 Not only that, but I’m re-sharing the review I posted after reading the ARC last year, so if you wanna learn a little more about the story or the person behind it, head to the links in my bio 🔗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can’t wait for all of you to meet the TREE SIREN monster girl, Seren - and the cinnamon roll ASTRONOMER boy, Owen in this gender-swapped retelling of Beauty and the Beast 🌳

There are a few that I absolutely love and Echo North is one of them 😍 The first time I enjoyed this story, it was in audiobook form - so when I got the physical copy, I practically swooned over the cover and the interior 😱
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I also love Strange the Dreamer and the Shades of Magic title pages! 📚

This stunning “Literary Longings” reed diffuser is from @thebookishshop and smells like tangerines and vanilla 🍊 Get one for yourself + so much more using my code ESPRESSO5 ☕️

As much as I’m totally a wolf-girl, the Cullens will always be my first pick! 🧛🏻‍♀️ After reading Midnight Sun, I had an even greater appreciation for every member of that family (except Rosalie. Still hate Rosalie 😂)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A few months ago, I got a Twilight Woods candle from @janzywaxco and I realized I wasn’t burning it because it was my favorite scent and I wanted it to last forever 🙈 Then she began offering this amazing JUMBO SIZE and I instantly snatched it up so my house would smell like sexy vampires forever 🕯

What was the first box set of books you ever got? What was the first box set of books you ever got? 📦
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was so desperate to read The Hunger Games in high school that I posted on Facebook asking if I could borrow them from anyone who owned them (since the library had ridiculous holds and, at the time, I couldn’t afford to buy) 🙈 An extended family member offered to ship me her set to borrow and when the box arrived, I realized she bought me my own box set! 😱 It was an awesome gift (and I thoroughly enjoyed the books, of course)! 🎁
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These books are well-loved, so I was thrilled when I saw the gorgeous dust jackets @thebookishshop released for them 😍 Dust jackets are such a fun way to deck out some of my favorite books ✨ Use the code ESPRESSO5 to purchase your own set of dust jackets or even get a discounted subscription to @thebookishbox 🙌🏼

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had an almost identical shot that I shared on my feed when I launched in January and I never knew it would go viral on Pinterest or that this page would be the best thing to happen to me all year 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Honestly, I could get super mushy right now, but I really wanna say THANK YOU to all of you for making 2020 a better place 😘 There’s been a lot of tragedy and stress this year, but this little corner of the internet has been such a bright spot! ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve wrapped up my TOP TEN BOOKS in a guide and posted my “one second a day” video to IGTV 😱 Who am I with all of this content in one day?! 🤷🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have a happy new year, everyone! 🤍

I hope you have the merriest Christmas, darlings! I hope you have the merriest Christmas, darlings! 😘
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is my first Christmas on booksta and when I saw that @emilyintheweb tagged me in the #HolidayTag, I couldn't resist! ❤️(I know this is cutting it close since Xmas is TODAY buuuut if you wanna use the questions, feel free! 🙈)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎄 Earliest Christmas/holiday memory: I remember going to our close friends' home for carols around the piano on Christmas Eve (we did that every year for most of my life) 🎹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📖 Favorite holiday-themed book: I read Finding Christmas this year and that HAS to take the cake. It was beyond adorable ☃️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎬 Favorite holiday movie: 12 Dates of Christmas is my forever favorites, but I love SO MANY that I gotta admit it's hard to choose 🤭
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎶 Favorite holiday song: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by the Glee Cast (specifically that version) but this is kinda like the movie question because I love so many 😹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎁 Favorite gift as a child: This is a toss-up between my piano and my American Girl doll - they were both insanely special to me 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Favorite quote from a holiday film: LITERALLY ALL OF While You Were Sleeping because it's all so quotable! But I guess specifically the entire dinner scene (if you know, you know 🥔)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎀 What's at the top of your wishlist: Books, books, and more books! Specifically, I'm hoping for The Bookish Life of Nina Hill and Echo North (update: I GOT THEM!) 📚
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❤️ Favorite way to spend Christmas Day: A slow morning with my mom's cranberry-orange scones and spiced mocha. Opening gifts with family and just savoring every special moment! 🥰
