Christmas Eve was wonderful. We spent time with my family as well as Luke’s.
Lucas’s parents got us floor seats to see Maroon 5 on Valentines day and tickets to see Luke Bryan in Indiana 2 days before my birthday! The Maroon 5 tickets I have been completely bratty about because Lucas said we’d go and then just forgot to get the tickets. Last time Maroon 5 came he never took work off so I had to buy another ticket and take my parents. He didn’t know his parents got them for us. But, it all works out. I can’t wait.

I think I might just flood you all with photos…
These are all from my phone/ipad..
I’m sorry I’m too lazy to get them off my camera.

My mom is OBSESSED with her iPAD. She’s been wanting one for months.

I woke up not feeling so hot. And even V8 Spicy Hot wasn’t helping.
I opened presents and then passed out..

But, I finally got up and showered.. then we headed to Windsor.

This was the worst IPA I have ever had.
It tasted like Bud Light or some other kind of cheap beer.
I had two on draft.. $8 each. Should of just drank cheap.

image
Absolute Raz & Soda. Not bad.

image
Top shelf whiskey with pomegranate liqueur.
It looks and tasted like a Shirley Temple…
But, then my mom assured me that I clearly didn’t realize how strong it was.
She was right.

image
This was the IPA I had on draft.
I bought a bottle of it to see if it would taste better and to take a picture to remember the name.
It was not any better in a bottle. It was double the price of a Bud Light Lime..
Again, I should of drank cheap.


wardrobe malfunction.

I had fun at Caesars. My parents gave me $60 to gamble with.
They bought me 2 of my drinks and the rest I used for drinks and gambling.
I ended up walking out with $20.

Christmas was a success. It looks like you all had a great Christmas as well!

 

I wanted to let you all know that the family member who was in the hospital was my Papa. He had 95% blockage in one of his arteries in his heart. His surgery went well. He’s recovering and should be going home today or tomorrow. I spent the entire afternoon yesterday at the hospital. I’m so grateful that everything is okay. Thank you all so much for your kind words and prayers!

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...

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...

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, ...
