Goodbye 2015…You were good to me

Every year on the first I feel sad. I am not sure why because it is usually a time of happy and new beginnings. I guess I begin to question my life and really ponder the impact I made in the year past. Did I make a difference in someones life? Did I fail? Did …

A Christmas Eve Surprise

Well, I was obviously tired last night. I re-read yesterday's post and there are so many typos that if you were able to read through it I'll applaud you.  Thank you to everyone who congradulated us we are excited. It is definitely a fun time and rather intense Christmas gift to ourselves. This morning David …

Feeling Special

David surprised me today. We both work downtown most of the time, only a few blocks apart. So when David gets off work and walks a little ways to give me his last free coffee (he works at Starbucks) of the day it is always very sweet. However today he was working a Starbucks about …

To good to be true or are things finally beginning to turn around?

It really is that time of the year. Sales at retail stores, red cups at Starbucks, snowfall (in some states), and accents of red and green are everywhere. The time of year where joy should fill you to your brim. However sometimes the holiday season can be hard on people for various reasons like the …

James Island Festival of Lights

After work today I was ready to come home and laze around for the rest of the evening and I know David was in the same kind of mood too. Working on Black Friday does that to a person.  Anyways, I was sitting at home when my friends Laura and Nate invited us to go …

Small Town Big Love

I wish I could post photos of today, but it will have to wait until tomorrow due to the lack of wifi and cell service. Isn't it weird what we come to depend on? Not having access to Internet or having complete cell service can be such a hassle but then again, first world problems …

Tennessee Bound

David and I have been so busy lately that it seems incredibly weird that Thanksgiving is a week away.  This will be my first semi-warm holiday season and I am looking forward to it. Though David is a bit sad he isn't around his beloved snow. But that is coming from the guy who sings Christmas …

My Halloween Horror Story (The Day My Boob Fell on the Floor)

The year I turned 13 was an extremely weird time for me. I was in the 6th grade and I was trying desperately to be the "cool" kid. I joined the volleyball team, participated in all the school spirit events, had sleepovers, and went on my first date. I wore the short skirts and flirted …

Holiday Stresses

Well! Things are looking up. Maybe not with work but with most things in life I would say so. Finances are less tight and I am making friends. And more then anything things are starting to be put into place for the upcoming holiday season.  I looked up some common stresses that happen during the …
