A new year, a new start.

Happy New Year! I had planned on recapping New Years Eve a few days ago. I'll be honest, everything was more than perfect that night and all of a sudden things took a horrible turn for the worst. I spent the first 2 days of the New Year wondering how I would be able to just not mention everything and just go on blogging. However, now that things are getting back on track I feel comfortable sharing.

New Years Eve started off wonderful. I spent time getting ready, trying on dresses, and enjoying a cocktail. I realized it was after 10pm and knew that if we didn't call the taxi company to find out a time, we'd never get a cab. David calls the cab company and they tell us it's a 2-3 hour wait. Clearly that wasn't going to happen. He called down to the lobby who told us they were having a free shuttle tonight and the driver would be back around 11. We get in the shuttle, meet a bunch of Canadians and David entertained the entire van with his best Canadian accent. We get downtown which is only a 5 minute drive. We go to one of our favorite bars, have a drink and find out David's friends are at the bar down the street. We head there, it's almost midnight and we realize his friends are no longer there. We stayed. Brought in the New Year together with a few drinks, some spilt drinks and shots. We sang too loud, danced and had the most amazing time.

It's now officially the New Year. We decided it's time to head back, drink our champaign we have waiting for us in our room and call it a night. When we walk into the lobby we're created by the Canadians we met earlier, except there's even more of them. We somehow ended up playing flip cup, getting pretend married (we hope), and making stupid pointless vines.










Then things took a turn for the worst. Too much alcohol and idiot guys. I won't really discuss it, but I will say there were many rumors and lies that made me look like a horrible person. 

I woke up the next morning single and feeling like I was hit by a bus. I barely was able to open my eyes before David was handing me his phone.. with my mom on the other line threatening to come get me if I didn't agree to leave. I was still trying to put everything together. I was trying to get David to just talk to me. Nothing was going to go my way.

I spent the rest of New Years Day on my parents couch, constantly getting yelled at for any new details my mom was hearing about. The next day David agreed to talk with me. Which didn't go over all that well, but it was still a little progress. The next day we saw each other before I had to work and then after I got off work. That day went better and he decided that he was going to give me a second chance. 

Saturday I woke up got ready and went over to David's. We decided to go to the new Dave & Busters. It was seriously so much fun, I'm such a child when it comes to arcades. The rest of the night went really great. We relaxed, watched t.v and spent a lot of time together. 

Today I had to work 12-6. It's snowing like crazy here in Michigan. The roads are horrible! David and I were going to spend the night relaxing while we get snowed in, but getting snowed in happened before we were able to see each other. 

So that has been the start to 2014 for me. It's been a little stressful, but I'm so grateful for how things are going. Hopefully things keep looking up.

I hope you all had a wonderful start to 2014! I also hope it was a little less stressful than mine!

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...

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, ...

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...
