This year has definitely been one for the books. It had some of the most incredible highs I've ever experience, but also some of the lowest lows. Getting engaged, after years of hoping and wishing and praying was probably the highest I've ever been (I don't do drugs). That night is one I will never EVER forget, specifically the adorable look on A's face when he asked me to be his forever. My love for him continues to grow on a daily basis, after so many years of being together we still ... VIEW POST
Its Been… A Year…. 2017 Review
Countdown is ON…
So, today, Tuesday, February 28th, we've officially been engaged for 2 weeks... 2 Whole Weeks of bliss, happiness, and all the glowy feels.

Look how far you’ve come!
Sometimes, when life gets hard, you need a reminder as to how truly amazing you are. My ALL TIME Favorite line is from the movie The Help: "You is smart, You is kind, You is important." From time to time, when you're actively immersed in your life, you forget how truly incredible you really are... A mantra like this is a nice reminder. This June, will mark 10 Years since I graduated High School. T-E-N. I find that beyond insane. I'm not old enough to attend a 10 year high school reunion, ... VIEW POST

Time to put 2016 to bed!
So....I decided to send out a holiday card this year. Featuring, our fur-babies... Naturally... A "Cat Card" as my friends lovingly referred to it, when I asked for their addresses, was ordered through Simply To Impress... Who by the way does a FANTASTIC job and ships the cutest packages! Well, I shopped, chose the layout (then changed my mind about 27 times, chose the right picture, customized the text and placed my order. It wasn't until I unpacked the cards... All FORTY of them, to ... VIEW POST
