Summer Lovin

Could I have come up with a more cliche title?!

Anyway... I found a roll of film from a day at the beach with my sister this past summer and I had the photos developed today!  Isn't she just the cutest!

In other news, the weather here has been beautiful these past few weeks and I'm getting quite excited for Christmas!  Decorations are up, the music is on and... the fleas are here... wait... what?!  Yep, that's right.  We have fleas.  Tiny little black dots of pure stupidity.  I hate them.  They are gross and stupid and yucky! I don't know about you, but I am not one who enjoys sharing my home with tiny little demons that suck your blood while you sleep.  I hadn't been too concerned about it until I actually saw one jump at me.  That put me over the edge.  We are on a full force flea-be-gone mission as of now.  The vacuum, the baking powder, the salt, the dishwasher soap mix, laundry, it's all on.  These fleas will not be here for long.

Wish us luck!

Tea Time

Hello friends :)

How are y'all?  I'm pretty good.  Just been chillin, studying, writing paper after paper and seeing a few friends in between!  Last weekend my friend Paige came to visit!  It was great! Short, but so fun!  We packed so much into a day and a half and had such a good time!  Making friends is not something that comes easily to me.  It takes a lot of work to work up the courage to say hello to new people and courage is not something I've had a lot of lately...  So it was GREAT when our moms (who have been friends for quite some time I might add) finally introduced us!

I hope everyone is well and staying cozy & warm :)

PS the weather was chilly and a lil rainy today - hence the tea time pictures

I'm Baaaack

Why hello there :)

It's been awhile... as in three months awhile...

I could go into a long winded explanation as to why I've been absent for so long but rather than dwell on the past I am going to jump right into now and the future!

I've started back at school working towards my psych degree.  Slightly different than what I had planned for in the summer but I think it's for the best.  I'm living in a great apartment with lots of windows, a huge improvement from where I was last year.  I'm working on making more friends but it can be tough.  I've made one really great new friend who is coming to visit me next weekend for Halloween!  Zoe came and visited this weekend and it was great!  We had so much fun together and I can't wait for her to come back again soon!

Which is what I will be doing too.  However, I want this blog to be slightly different than what it has been in the past.  I read a lot of other blogs and often find myself getting jealous of their picture perfect lives.  I'm 100% positive that their lives aren't perfect, that they're just sharing the great stuff but it can be harder to relate to.  Some of the best blogs I read are the ones where the authors talk about the bad stuff as well as the great stuff.  They don't have to go into detail but just by acknowledging that the bad stuff can be bad and life isn't always great and that they're working really hard to survive and provide makes them more relatable and enjoyable to read.  So that is my aim with this.  To share the good and the not so good.  I don't want this to become a blog about me posting things in a self-centred my-life-is-perfect kind of way.  I simply want to share what is happening in my life in a few photographs and sentences so I can look back and really remember what was going on.  Not the sugar coated version, but the real life version.

SO now that I have written my longest post ever I think I'll leave it there.  Hope you have a great week and I'll be seeing you again soon :)
