Life..

Lately, my blog has been filled with link-ups..
And that’s been about it.
Don’t get me wrong.. I love the link-ups I take part of.
I’m not giving those up.
I want to try and do more of my own updates.
It’s kind of crazy how life can get in the way.

Lately, I’ve been doing pretty great.
Spring classes have already stressed me out.. it’s still week 2.
Lucas and I are only 14 days away from boarding the plane to Nashville!
I have butterflies just thinking about it!

If any of you live down south, I’m totally jealous!
I’m excited to go to Nashville because it’s for the St. Jude marathon..
I think I’ve mentioned before I’m going to school to become an RN.
I plan on working at a Children’s Hospital, preferably St. Jude.. in Nashville.
But, I’m also a HUGE country fan. I turned Lucas into a country fan.
He bought me tickets last year for Tim McGraw & Luke Bryan..
I danced my ass off and even Lucas had an awesome time!
Ever since, he’s been a country fan!

But.. I really think I’d enjoy the southern lifestyle.
Not just because of country music, lol.

I’ve been excited that I’ve found some of you on Instagram! (Or vice versa)
That’s the only social networking site I haven’t neglected.
Feel free to follow me, I’d love to follow you back!

I’m trying to make some positive changes in my life.
I think stress has gotten the best of me lately.
I overthink everything. That hasn’t helped me one bit.
I need to get more organized. Fast.

It kind of really sucks to work till 3am or later, then have to be up at 7am.
Oh life…

Hopefully you’ll all be seeing more of me!!

    i'm going to look you up and follow your cute pictures! And I don't know how you work until three and then wake up four hours later. I could NEVER do that. I am someone who functions with sleep!

You can’t blog with us!

I’m not digging all of these big shot bloggers trying to make these rules for blogging. I have read posts about how not everyone should have a blog. If you’re not a big shot blogger, like myself.. this post is for you. If you are a big shot blogger, this post is also for you.. but, none of you will read this. These are just some of the rules that I don’t follow.. Your blog will be judged by it’s cover. Have a perfect layout. If spending $100 to have some make a layout for my blog means you’ll read my blog and you’ll follow me.. then I don’t give a damn if you’re not following me. Respond to all comments left on your blog. It is important to respond to comments.. however, I do understand why people can’t always respond. Personally.. if you ask me something I most likely will respond. A lot of the time I get comments that pretty much all I can say is “Thank you!” to.. I mean.. I’ll absolutely always respond if you e-mail me.. or even if you comment on instagram.. I respond almost inst...

Friday’s Letters!

Dear Pictures Of Myself, Why do you always look so bad? And, no.. I am not saying I’m ugly or any of that.. so please, don’t jump down my throat about that. But you know how some girls look 100 times better in their photos than in real life? Well, that’s not me.. and people have had no issue telling me that. Which, I guess is better.. unless you only see photos of me.. ehh, whatever. Dear Blog, I will be spending some time on you today. Planning some posts, commenting on some of my favorite blogs.. all of that stuff good bloggers do. Dear Friday, I’m so glad to be seeing you! Next Friday I will be enjoying Chicago for the very first time at the Keane concert with the love of my life! I need to make you a very productive day.. since Thursday was anything but productive. Dear Lucas Blaze, Thank you so much for planning on booking our room today after you get out of work around 7am… You’re the best. Last weekend was so amazing. I love all of our fun little dates. Dear Dark Hair, ...

Now or never... (QUICK UPDATE)

I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to get back into blogging. However, life took multiple turns and I've been too busy to sit down at my computer and produce a decent blog post. It can't hurt to fill in anyone that still reads my blogs, but might not closely follow me on social media. After TWO years of being single and not being into the idea of dating anyone, I'm actually in a relationship. I know at the beginning of a relationship it's expected to be in the state that you feel like you've never been happier. The difference is, I've known my boyfriend for 11 years. When we were young, we'd always act like a couple. We never had a "title" back then no matter how many times we reconnected. Seven months ago, he finally moved back home. I was so excited to have him back in my life. Then I realized that I wasn't okay with just being his friend. After about 5 months of blowing him off and him giving up trying to hang out, I finally ex...
