No Holiday for the Wings!

Happy Memorial Day! 
I can't believe it was 3 years ago I was newly single, staying in a big, crappy house about 10 of us rented in South Haven. I think I stayed awake and partied for a few days straight until I finally slept an hour, woke up too exhausted and emotional to function and pretty much ditched everyone and drove all the way home alone. Oh the memories.

I didn't do anything too exciting this weekend. I had my first golf lessons. I loved them!

Tonight I'll be going to the Red Wings game! 
We'll be sitting in the Legends Club which is totally awesome because there's so much amazing food, all for free. My favorite is always the dessert bar. I'm hoping that a past Red Wing will be up there tonight since anytime we've been up there for a game no one famous has been there.. but, at so many games we've gone to and had normal seats they always show someone really awesome up in the Legends Club. 

More than anything I'm praying that we can win tonight & knock Chicago out of the playoffs!

I bought a new jersey for good luck.. 
It's my third jersey.. so glad it's not white like my other two!!!


Hopefully Luke isn't planning on wearing his...

& No, I'm not wasted in this picture. We were on the ferris wheel at Comerica Park during a Tiger's game and if you have blue eyes you know how awful of a relationship blue eyes have with the sun.

But, oh well. We've matched a few times in the past 3 years..

(Above: 5am, no sleep, on the way to the airport)


(Above: Met up wearing purple shirts and black pants.)

I guess that just kind of happens. We're usually good about planning out what we're wearing to games. I'm not a huge fan of jerseys because they're so huge on me and I feel like a boy. But, whatever.

I'm working on my paper for my class tomorrow so I don't have to wake up at 6am and do it.
Yes, I've done that. Last game we went to a few weeks ago I drank WAY too much. Once we got home I passed out on the couch and woke up around 7am more hung over than ever in my life and I had to write a research paper and leave my house by 9am. I somehow managed to get 100%.  But, I'm not risking it. 

I hope you all enjoy the rest of your Memorial Day! I also hope you all take some time to remember those who have lost their lives fighting for our country and our freedom.  I'm so grateful for all of our military men and women who have fought or are still fighting for our country.


These fallen heroes represent the character of a nation who has a long history of patriotism and honor - and a nation who has fought many battles to keep our country free from threats of terror.

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...

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 ...

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...
