New Year, New Post.

I wanted to make blogging a resolution, until I realized that I don't make resolutions. However, I can make more of an effort to get back into writing. So consider this my first step in the right direction..

I'm beyond excited for 2015. It's already off to an amazing start. I'm in a relationship and I'm extremely happy. He treats me like a princess and loves to surprise me with cute and lovely things just to remind me how much he cares. The holidays were wonderful. We spent Christmas Eve with my parents then woke up Christmas morning and opened gifts, then spent Christmas with his family. 

Hanging our first ornaments we got for each other.
Laughing too much to be able to pose for pictures.

New Years Eve we decided to just have a relaxing and stay in. We drank too many beers and after our kiss at midnight, we cheers our favorite shot; fireball..


New Years day we didn't make an effort to get up or be productive until we were sick of watching HGTV and had to head back up to my parent's house for dinner. Much needed relaxation!

I'm very excited for everything that 2015 has to offer. I'll be celebrating my golden birthday, 23 on February 23rd. My boyfriend is taking my parents and I to see Garth Brooks on February 20th and then he's taking me to Nashville the following weekend and bought me tickets for the game so I can finally watch my Red Wings play in my future city! 

I'm so grateful for everything that happened in 2014 that led me to where I'm at in my life right now. I feel like the luckiest girl, everyday. It's absolutely a feeling I can get used to.

Hope you all enjoyed your holidays!!

    I love your tree. :)
    I'm glad you're making the first step of writing again now. I think good writers should really get their works out there. Hope to read more from you this year.

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 ...
