Happy Hallmark Holiday!!

I really do love Valentine’s Day!

Our first year together I cooked an entire meal for Lucas.

Obviously I had a lot of help from my mom who is the best cook ever. But, it was perfect. When we first started dating I told him that I wasn’t into the whole lovey dovey kind of stuff. I told him I didn’t want to celebrate Valentine’s Day.. even though I kind of really wanted to. A few weeks before Valentine’s Day he told me that we should celebrate.. and I was actually really excited. We ate way too much, watched Inglorious Bastards and slept. It was perfect. He also surprised me with the Tiffany & Co “I Love You” ring.

Our second Valentine’s Day we went to the Red Wings game. Which is always the perfect date for us. That year he surprised me with another ring, my diamond band.

This year we will be spending Valentine’s Day at the Maroon 5 concert. I’m very excited!

I tend to go a little overboard with Valentine’s Day.

Sadly, that’s not even all the candy that I bought him.. there’s more. I also made him a card and bought him a few tickets for sporting events.

I’m so grateful to be with such an amazing guy.

No relationship is perfect. Everyone has ups and downs.
Sometimes I wish that life didn’t get in the way so much. But, that’s life.



When we first started dating he worked at the mall and he hated his job. He never wanted to work and eventually quit. I was working at a tanning salon making in two weeks what I now make in a night. We spent so much time together back then because we had so much more time. It does make me upset sometimes that work and school take up so much time of our lives, but I wouldn’t change that.



I’m so grateful that he now has an amazing job with amazing benefits. I’m happy that I’m going to school and working and always busy. One day, it will all pay off. One day, all the money that we’re saving will mean so much more than it may mean now. One day we will be able to have all the things we want in life, together.

I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
Even if you’re not a fan of Valentine’s Day or don’t have a valentine… just enjoy it.
There is way too much candy involved in this “hallmark holiday” to not love it.

I will do my best to post lots of pictures on Instagram from the concert!

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, ...
