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!

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...

Sleepy Momma

I did plan on posting this previous week and the week before.. however, I've been so incredibly exhausted and busy. I guess that's a great way of putting, welcome to mom life! To be completely honest, I'm so happy with where I'm at in life right now. Yes, there are things that are difficult to deal with and I know some of those things will always be hard. For a while I wished that I could go back well over a year ago and made a different decision. I don't wish that now because I've grown so much and gained things I could never give up. My strength, my motivation and my happiness is at an all time high. It feels amazing. In other news...  I finally got a kitten! She's such a sassy girl, but she can be the most loving thing at times! When she wakes up and I'm next to her or when I pick her up, she grabs my cheeks and kisses me.  The bottom left photo is a result of a playful kitty that needs her nails trimmed. If you foll...

Thoughts from an ex-blogger..

My desire to get back to writing has been so strong lately. I can't seem to figure out if I want to blog again. At the same time, I REALLY want to blog again. I've found comfort in my privacy. This comfort has made me uncomfortable with openly sharing details of my life. However, blogging always was there to provide me with an outlet to express my thoughts, feelings and emotions. The people I was able to connect with through blogging was always an incredible bonus. I didn't want to blog when I realized that people that I don't want to be part of my life were reading my blog posts. During this time I also stopped being active on Twitter and Instagram. I felt that it was unfair to me that specific people were able to catch up on my life via social media. There are many issue I face with returning to my blog. I need to allow myself to step outside of my comfort zone of keeping my life private. I need to be okay with the fact that some people, that shouldn't be ...
