There's Absolutely No Place Like Our Home

Happy 2017 to my peeps! What a year 2016 was, see earlier posts for deets!

As with any new year, we are supposed to form resolutions to the coming 365 days. Well, this year I will NOT be participating in the festivies of joining/quitting an organization (cough,cough the gym) or making any new goals as my goals and gym membership with be rolling over from 2016. I will, however, keep my eye on that prize!

Bradley and I just got home from our ten-day Georgia vacation, it was so much fun and we made some great memories! We also enjoyed each other, our friends and family, and relaxed! It was definitely needed but now we are ready to get back into the routine of our usual insanity! I will return to work tomorrow, starting with an interview at a office I hope to call home! Brad will tackle the ever-taunting mole rat that is attempting to ruin our lawn that he works so hard at keeping maintained! They are sworn enemies and I have a feeling this may end in a gun fight, literally!

Either way, I hope every one had wonderful New Years celebrations! Maybe you made some goals for yourself, maybe you fine tuned some you already had, or maybe you are like me and feel like you are doing great! Keep on keepin' on! It will be a wonderful year! I cannot wait to see what God has in store for us!

Laid-back NYE Fun!

Macaroons and Memories

We didn't know we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun In the last two weeks, I've gone back to my hometown for appointments and family events. It is always interesting going back. When I'm at home in O-town, I always feel like I'm missing "back home" and want to return. Then I return and am reminded why we left; there is nothing wrong with where I am from, I just love where I am going! Centennial Park in Downtown Fort Myers My sister arranged with her photographer friend to have some family photos taken. My mom has been dying for them so we appeased her. After all, you never know when you'll have the chance again! We color-coordinated our crazy bunch and they will hopefully be great! The photog sent over some sneak peeks after and they look great so we are looking forward to seeing the rest! My sister and I My mama and her girls Since we live in the theme park capital of the world, we have annual passes to most of the par...

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...

I'm Made of Glitter, Water, and Anxiety

So over the last few years I have struggled with admitting and treating my own personal demon of anxiety. I have many friends who have a similar struggle and agree that prior to becoming it's prey, we thought anxiety was a total joke. I mean, when I would witness an anxiety attack I would just think, 'come on, pull it together sister!'. But now that I tend to deal with it on the daily, it is a very real monster. To have your own brain betray you as such is a difficult thing to grasp. Going from a perfectly rational person to trying to prevent anything and everything that could possibly happen, you look at yourself and think 'jeez! What a nutcase!'. Treating my anxiety wasn't an easy task, especially since I began treating mine at the end of a relationship and while being completely alone. It was a daily struggle and I really didn't feel like anyone would understand without being judgemental. I also used substances as my release, we all know I love my wine....
