WOW! its been awhile since i have posted a blog post, but don’t you worry because I am coming back better than ever! I thought since its been a few months that I would give you all a life update on what I have been up to so far in 2019. It has been quite a whirlwind, so buckle up and get ready for the ride!

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!!!

Wow, 2019! Am I the only one who thinks that so crazy! This past year has been nothing short of amazing, and I am so incredibly lucky to be in the place I am today. I just want to take a quick moment to recap this crazy year I have had to reflect, as well as share with you all my goals for this coming year. So follow along and be sure to share your favorite moment from 2018, as well as a personal goal that you hope to achieve in 2019!

One of my all time favorite things to do around this time of year is to bake SO many cookies! It has been a tradition for me and my grams for as long as I can remember, and when she passed away 2 years ago I made a promise I would keep the tradition alive. She used to make so many yummy cookies and I was lucky enough to get most of her recipes so that I could replicate them year after year. I added a few other cookies that she normally didn’t make but it is always good to add some new modern favorites every once in a while. I have decided to share all the cookies I made this year as well as the recipes so you all can make them yourselves, so keep reading and let me know what your favorite cookies recipe is.

It’s my favorite time of the year and of course I am most excited about sharing it all with you guys this year! Every year I always get a warm and fuzzy feeling inside of me because of all the love and joy that this time of year brings for people. It’s the time of giving and being with family and celebrating! With today being Thanksgiving I wanted to share with you what my favorite part of this holiday is. I have lots so keep reading to find out what makes me so happy about Thanksgiving!

I know what you are thinking after reading the title, but don’t worry I am going to explain. Lately I have been in quite a funk when it comes to my appearance. I have always had some issues with my weight but I have always been able to manage it fairly well. After moving I think my mind was just in a million different places that I sort of lost the reigns on focusing on my health and wellness which really took a toll on my mental health. With that being said I began to really work on myself and found that working out and eating healthy can actually be really FUN! Stick around and I will show you how!

This past weekend I finally got to a FULL DAY with Mitchell and I couldn’t have been more excited! I wanted to do something fun and something we hadn’t done together yet, so Mitchell had brought up the Thai Market that is by our house. I am not huge on Thai food but I like a good Ramen so I though it would be a fun adventure. We had such a fun time I couldn’t help but share it with you all!

For many of you who know me know that I suffer from pretty severe Anxiety. I don’t normally make that public news to people, but I have recently came to some realization of anxiety that I wanted to share with all of you. I am not perfect nor will I ever be and I have quickly realized that these last few years. In this post, I want to share with you what its like to have anxiety as well as ways of making your head quite down a little when you feel like you might be broken, because guess what you most certainly are NOT broken. Maybe just a little scared, but who isn’t right?

As many people know, Florida does’t really have a fall season. Which makes me sad because most people who know me know that Fall is my FAVORITE season! This past weekend I took it upon myself to make our house as fall as humanly possible, so I hit the mall and was on a mission. I found some pretty awesome things and spent a small amount of money, so I wanted to share with you all everything I found to make our Florida home more Fall like.

This past weekend I got to travel back to Nashville for a few days, and boy was it a jam packed weekend! It was so nice getting to see all my favorite people, as well as getting to see one of my best friends marry the man of her dreams! On September 22nd my girl Sam went from Miss. Mehall to Mrs. Costello and it couldn’t have been a more perfect day! With that being said, I thought it would be fun to take you all on the journey with me and share all the amazing moments of my trip.

Well, it’s been 3 weeks since I made the move from Nashville to Tampa and its been quite a crazy few weeks, so I wanted to give y’all a quick update on what we have been up to. I am going to fill you in on all the fun places we have eaten and all the fun things we have discovered at our new home, as well as how my new job is going.

Now you all might be confused as to why I moved all the way to Tampa from Nashville to move in with my boyfriend MItchell. Well let me tell you all why! I always say to people that I love telling the story of how me and him met because it is the type of story that I can't wait to tell my grand kids one day. Oh yea, its that cute!

I am not going to lie, starting a blog can be very scary and a lot of people don't realize the amount of work that goes into them, but here I am stepping out of my comfort zone to share with you my life story.  Not only is it scary to start a blog, but it is also extremely scary picking up your life, moving to a new state, and starting a whole new life and THAT is exactly what I did.
