Thankful is an Understatement

"When asked if my cup is half-full or hall empty, my only response is that I am thankful I have a cup"

Thanksgiving weekend has sadly come and gone, but it sure was a slam packed one filled with lots of love and moments to reflect on how thankful I am! Bradley made it home just in time to be the victim of my overwhelming amount of food! He definitely didn't complain and was able to relax after a tough assignment. Usually, we either go up to Georgia and visit his family or down south to see my chaotic clan, however, with the new home and a busy schedule we decided to stay home and have our first Thanksgiving in our new home just us! It couldn't have been more perfect! We ate all the things we wanted, we were selfish and enjoyed every moment.
He dove right in!


Can't have Thanksgiving without homemade pecan pie!
After naps, seconds and thirds, desserts, and much needed R&R, we ventured out Friday with my best friend, her hubby, and little one to breakfast in Mt Dora. They had decided to boycott the holiday and come to see us and the new house before heading home! No matter how much time passes, it is like we haven't gone a day without each other. It was good to see her little guy and catch up! Shortly after, we headed to go visit friends in St. Augustine. Saturday we headed to downtown Mt Dora to attend Light Up Mount Dora with a sweet friend and her boyfriend, it was gorgeous! Even though my Gators lost yet again to stupid FSU, it was a great weekend! He flew out today for his last assignment of the year! I cannot wait for him to return and for our holiday vacation to Georgia!!!
St. Augustine with great friends!

The sunset with this hunk!

Breakfast with my bestie and his little guy

It was a gorgeous day!



We did start to decorate the house for the holidays, Brad puts up with my crazy holiday frenzy every year (Bless him!). I cannot wait to deck the house out in my silver winter theme!!!
Just getting started!

Gotta have glitter!

Brad picked the perfect snowflake topper!
I am so thankful for the opportunities I have been given within the last year of my life. Brad and I have both accomplished many things both as a couple and individually. There is still one month left in this fabulous year and I have a couple more things I'd love to achieve before we kick off 2017! I am currently doing a real estate associate course online and hope to finish and take my state exam before our vacation to Georgia. I have decided to explore different career options, I also want to complete my bachelors degree starting this Spring, my major will either be business/health management. Lots to be thankful for and lots to look forward to! Never stop challenging yourself and improving your future! Hope everyone had a great break!! Cannot wait for Christmas!!!

Thirty-Onederful!

Today I turned 31, it was a different birthday vibe than I usually have. Typically, I get really into my plans and can't wait for the day to come. Maybe it is because our plans changed drastically suddenly or because of the imminent threat of the hurricane looming in the back of my mind. But today ended up much better than originally anticipated! Of course, I needed the birthday Snapchat filter! Our plans were to go to Croom which is a motocross park ran by the state. The property used to be phosphate mines in Brooksville, it has since been used for motocross celebs and locals for enjoyment. Last minute, literally 5 hours before we were supposed to head north, the boyfriend tells me that due to the pain in the rump hurricane barreling towards the east coast they are closing the park. Talk about blonde emoji facepalm, ugh!! Now, I do not ride a dirt bike, heck I barely have the coordination to walk and chew gum at the same time. But I enjoy disconnecting, hiking, and relaxin...

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...

Hey There 2020!

Oh 2019, what a year! I have to admit, this year taught me a ton, left me speechless at times (I know, stunning right?!), and with some gains as well as losses! I learned how to love myself and see who I am alone, I have ended relationships that were overdue to be ended, and I became a stronger coach with Beachbody! I gained a booty thanks to my amazing workout program and learned how to eat properly! 2019 gave me the strength I needed to end a toxic relationship that was disguised as something much different. The year had it's ups and downs, as does every year, but this one in particular helped me learn what I like and where my future goals lie. I experienced things I thought I wanted and realized where I am heading is exactly where I need to be. Now that that's over, reminiscing can be fun but I am ready for a new chapter! Oh 2020, do I have something planned for you! I am entering this year on a very different foot, starting today with organizing my goals and strate...
