Blonde Moments

Happy Friday!! 

Wednesday afternoon, I arrived in Jacksonville to see my honey while he works on another store opening for his company. Luckily, this store is only about two and a half hours from where we live so I was able to come see him on my day off! 

While I am waiting for him to get off,  I realize some things. He and a friend of his who helped him get on the team have only been doing this working-away-from-home lifestyle for about 3 months now. It hasn't been the easiest of transitions for me but we've survived and gotten stronger, each trip gets easier. I have come to learn about the other guys on this team through him and come to find that most of them are single. I realize as I think about all this that not every couple can survive this kind of lifestyle. It makes me proud and scared for us. Proud because we have grown together during all this, but scared because I know that there are always insecurities lurking around the corner. I am so proud of babe for all the hard work he does on the job to get these stores ready for grand openings and for helping me through all of this. I am not the best at changes, actually, I'm probably the absolute worst! Not even going to try to sugarcoat that one! God definitely sends us people that will help us through the hardest times in the way we need them to, not the way we want them to. I got to witness all the blood, sweat, and muscle that goes into an average work day for him. I believe that a girlfriend/wife should be able to do what I got to do; see what their guy does for work, it was very eye-opening!!

Thankfully, I have a man who is focused on creating a better life for us and supports me no matter what. He may not be the most sappy, romantic man in the world but he's the kind of man who will work hard for me and for the little family we have become. I think I'll keep him around! Now, this post has been pretty sappy. Hey I'm a girl! You can't blame me, that's my excuse! It is okay to dote every now and again!

We Don't Talk About That...

Mental health has never been a "hot topic" or a common dinner conversation, it is usually dusted under the rug and left to fester til another day. Honestly, I'm writing this for my own mental health, rather my sanity. Since this virus took over our lives, being forced to live completely out of the norm has made mental health become a little bit more of a subject but not by much. Being bored and forced to be in the same house almost 24/7 can cause you to focus on things you wouldn't normally think about. This is also true for myself. Up until now, I haven't really discussed with anyone but close friends and family what I have struggled with for a long time. To me, you talk about it and everyone will think you're looney. Well, I'm over it and tired of hiding it so here goes! When I lived in Orlando, I had extremely high anxiety for the first time. I was basically alone full time miles away from my hometown. I tried so desperately to avoid facing what I...

Lil' Tid Bits

Happy FriYay!!    All week I was trying to think of the best ways to show different tutorials. I toyed with the idea of a YouTube channel, I actually have one video currently posted that I need to properly edit. But for the most part, I truly believe that I am currently enjoying just photos so you'll have to be patient until my skills get a bit of fine tuning!  We tend to have "Crest Kid" smiles! I have my Beau home until Monday and then our insanity starts again. Being that this is still semi-new in our household, I still struggle with being alone a majority of the time. I believe that while you're alone, you're forced to face your own demons that normally aren't on the surface. Being busy has been the easiest way for me to avoid dealing with some personal issues. But, as it was evidently bound to, my mind finally place all these things in my focus and I was forced to face them. I don't know if this is just me, but independence has always had s...

I'm Tired AF

Evidently if you were born between 1981 & 1996, you're a millennial so I figured I would used the "AF" instead of swearing. Do you ever feel like you're just tired of just about everything? Well, that is me the past couple weeks! Just tired of being exhausted with the two consecutive low readings this week between 1 and 4am. Tired of stressing about finances, future & the other F word. Just wanting and needing a break before hitting the ceiling?? Well, welcome to my world this MONTH! Last week, I had one of those good cries. One of those turn the music up, run the bath, wine induced, good Lord save me cries. Where you feel sorry for yourself, want to change everything and move out of the country to your own island moments. This is something most women do on a random basis and, to be honest, it is extremely healthy. I mentioned the "Pancreas Pals" podcast last post and it has truly helped me so much mentally. https://pancreaspals.com/catego...
