It honestly scares me how much changes in less than a months time.

This group of people meant everything to me, and now, for whatever reason my relationship with some of them is dangling on a thin string. I'm hurt. 

What are things going to be like in six more months? Am I even going to talk to them anymore?

Sometimes, life's simplest pleasure is coming home after work and just being alone. 

A few years ago, this blissful feeling was so foreign. I never gave myself the time or space to learn what it was that I liked.  

These are the days I most look forward to now. Getting homework finished and listening to music as loud as can be.

Aside from all of this, I scored on some cute future home things.

The in between days

My favorite season is right around the corner!

This means beautiful reds, oranges and yellows are going to be all over. Pumpkin flavored and scented everything, and I get to bring out my scarves and coats again!

Until all of my favorites come back, I'll just enjoying the cool breezes that August brings in.

Along with fall, I love vintage kitchen anything! I found these cute things for only $6! 

If only I had a kitchen of my own to enjoy them in.

My boy Dexter loves them, too.

 So happy almost Fall, Y'all!

Lately..

If I could photograph everything with my eyes, I would have so many more stories and love notes to write about my life as of lately. I am so completely happy with where I am. I am at a place of peace that I never knew could exist. Although it's taken a lot of heartache and deliberate mental punches to my face, I'm happy to be here. I feel as though I can do everything I've always wanted to.

I wrote a short post on leaving my ex boyfriend. It was so very hard to do. I had so many emotional ties to him. I was dependent on him financially, I had no idea how I was able to get by after him. I needed to leave him though. I felt worthless and numb when I was with him. I wasn't allowed to be 20, I had no room to grow as a person. I left him in May, and since then,I've been getting closer to the friends who had always been there since I met them. I've done so much in just a few short months. 

My favorite boys, Eldred and Diggie and I took a trip to Savannah, we explored as much as we could in just one day. We spent so much on Savannah bee company honey and Tea from the Tea room. I really wanted to go into the Paris Market, but it was closed by the time we got there. Next time!

I've gone a few counties over with the same two people and explore Glenn st Mary Nursery. We stayed there a few nights, I saved a turtle, saw deer, rabbits and beautiful old buildings. I was able to breathe fully for the first time out there.

I've gone to Big Talbot Island with Diggie and we climbed on all of the fallen trees, held baby hermit crabs and just basked in the sun all day until we went back into town and got candy from a local shop called, Sweet Pete's.

I couldn't ask for a better summer. I'm blessed and in love with all of the wonderful things that have come into my life.

Happy August, Y'all.

 

On Christmas,

Merry Belated Christmas, everyone!

This Holiday season was so busy that I haven't had any time to sit down and relax and post some memories from Christmas Eve and day. 

So here you all are!

  

We Spent Christmas eve at my aunts, for dinner,movies, games and some presents! It was fantastic being with everyone. (Even if my Papa snuck off as soon as we finished taking photos.)

And Apparently no one knows how to smile.

And then Christmas Day was spent Opening presents at  6am, making some breakfast, going to church and spending the day at my Grandparent's house.

I hope everyone had a fantastic Holiday, Filled with love, happiness and Family.

Nothing gets me in the mood for Christmas like wrapping some gifts up. And nothing makes wrapping them up better than in the company of my love.

Before we got started, I made us some tea that I got from work. Teavana teas always hit the spot. Strawberry Rose Champagne for him, Tranquil dreams for moi.

and of course, my babe had to get into the mess of it.

Ten more days until Christmas. I am beyond excited
