5 Years Time

Five years ago today I became exclusively committed to my soulmate. I can't believe it's been 5 years and at the same time I can't believe it's only been 5 years. It's weird to think we met when I was 13, almost 10 years!

He has been with me through literally thick and thin. He's been my rock and my pillow. We've both come such a long way from when we were teenage high schoolers. He was a year older than me but we were best friends from beginning to end (I may have also had a crush on him). When he graduated we stayed in touch but it wasn't the same. The following year I graduated and randomly we started hanging out again. 9 days after my birthday he asked me out and here we are five December 29's later. Now we are engaged, live together, and have two adorable dachshunds. Funny how life works out.

He is my soulmate, the cheese to my macaroni, he is my everything and I will never trade him for anything in this life. I feel like the luckiest girl who has ever walked the earth. I just wish everyone could find this kind of love just once in their lives because once you know it exists you won't be able to give it back.

Here we were 8 years ago:

Happy Almost Christmas

You guys the year is almost over! Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I've been 23 for 3 whole days. Weird. This is the age my dad was when I was born, I have yet to have ze babies. Anywho, I'm so not prepared for any of this. Christmas is usually my favorite time of year. To me the season means: my birthday, x-mas (and anniversary) shopping, hot cocoa, hot coffee, everything red and white, pine, warmth, christmas eve and day, and finally our anniversary. Well this year it has been hot, I'm incredibly broke, and it doesn't smell like pine anywhere. It's been a sad christmas for many reasons but we are trying to make the most of it. We're lucky to be healthy, a roof over our heads, and a lot of love. I just wish everyone was a bit more merry. I can't wait till the year is over though. It's been amazing (we got engaged) and it's been upsetting (I got laid off twice and currently in a big fat pile of debt). I will keep my head up because I start school in January and hopefully a new job.

Enough of my sadness. I hope that your christmas is amazing and filled with love and warmth. If you've had a so-so year like me, know it's almost over and a new one should start better than how this one ended.

Eggs and Bacon

Dudes we had breakfast with our parents in our home this past sunday. It was so nice to have them here on such a beautiful day. It was healthy and fatty and wonderfully breakfast-like.

Have a looksie for yourselves. I know, mmmmmmm.

 Isn't this one super cool and creepy all at the same time?

Also, I noticed I got some more page views which is AWESOME! Please leave comments so I can say hola! :) 

Happy weekend. 

It's Not About the Road

In 11 days I will be 23! I can not wait, I'm one of these weird people who looks forward to being a year older. Don't judge. There is no judgement here, ok!

Since December began I've been on this little quest of trying to truly define who I am and the person I want to be. So far, so good. We all deal with the whole, "who am I?", "who do I want to be?", and "where am I headed?". Lately I have partial answers to these questions, which, I am very proud of myself.  From the time I turned 18 I've just been sorta been all over the place and it sucks not having any idea to anything. I started questioning a lot of things I once had the concrete answer to and I'm back in that place where I can decide wholeheartedly for myself. Truth is we start fitting into ourselves with age so there is never a definite real you there is always the real you at the moment because we are ever changing.

It's nice to have an idea of who you eventually want to be. I'm really excited to enter my 23rd year. I feel like I will grow a bit more into being an adult. I feel really good about it. There are a few things I want to do and people I am excited to meet, who they are I have no clue.

In the end, this little road of self discovery started off really rough and it's become very nice and smooth in the past few days.

Streaming

You guys! Are you aware that Netflix has the best movies in their streaming?! Well lately I've been all about the Netflix. I have yet to come across an unknown movie that I didn't like. I'm all about the docs right now and we just finished one about the New York Times, which was pre-tty scary (and sad). Earlier I saw Bomb It that was about graffiti art. It was funny because last night (preview night at Wynwood for Art Basel) COPE was their exhibiting some of his graffiti on canvas. I didn't like it as much as I did in the movie but hey we all need a dollar, right?

Any interesting stuff you seen lately?
