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!

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...
