Christmas recap!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Mine was one of the best I've had in a long time! I was able to spend lots of time with family and David. I'll apologize in advance for the quality of my photos. We took them on iPhones & iPads. Ooops. Blogger fail.

 Christmas Eve
I had to work 8am-4pm. Then every year my sister and my niece come over. However, this year was a little different. My brother hasn't had any communication with my parents and I for about 4 years, with the exception of him coming over to my sister's house for an hour when I stayed the night last February. Well, this year he decided to surprise us! 



The night was so much fun. We drank, played apples to apples and had a few sing-a-longs. 









Later that night my mom let me open one of my big gifts... I almost cried.



Christmas

I woke up feeling a little rough. I opened up presents with my parents. I really didn't think that I would be getting anything else because they got me an iPad, but they also got me a new pair of Uggs and a few other things. Then I headed over to David's parents and watched Christmas movies, ate and opened gifts. David got me a few Red Wings shirts and a brand new GSHOCK to match his since my other red one is the little one..


I was completely shocked! After we went to the movies to see American Hustle. I really wasn't a fan of it, I guess I just didn't fully pay attention. After we just went home and relaxed for the rest of the night. 

I'm so grateful for everyone I was able to spend the last two days with. I couldn't be happier right now! I hope all of you had time to spend with your loved ones!!

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, ...
