Today was, pretty normal. Wanna see?

Honestly. Today was a day like any other day. Nothing really special happened. EXCEPT, my realtor let me know that our new home is officially under contract, and we will be moving in soon! Other than that. I went to work. I came home. But I'll let you know the details, no matter how boring..

Thank you to Lindsey Portis, for the inspiration :)


1. Me, not being happy because Surry called me at 5 A.M.
2. Me not being able to fall back asleep :(
3. I got up, and D was making breakfast.
4. It was so yummy, I had to take it's picture. It looked beautiful.
5. I looked outside, and yep, our yard and driveway is still bright white. Wondering if I am going to be able to take my car to work today. (turns out, my car bossed that snow up!)
6. Pages trip, to get coffee and yummy cream cheese squares.
7. and 8. Photos of my purchases. (we said no matter how boring.)

It's getting more boring.
1. See, UNDER CONTRACT :D
2. Taylor is being normal.
3. I guess i'll try to get some work done.
4. It took me hours to eat the other one.
5. Was an accidental picture.
6. I can't get over how easily the backs of these ipods scratch up. I don't know how it happens.
7. Break time!
8. Trying not to slip and fall on this ice.
9. See. Ice. And Snow.
 
1. Penelope is all salty.
2. Thought i'd show you people where I work. In case you're wondering. I'm a newspaper rat.
3. General photo inside my car. Yeah. Woo. Excitement.

1. Yeah, I forgot to show that i was clocking out for break.
2. Up the hill, headed home.
3. The jeep is salty and dirty too. I see baths for our babies soon.

This is just what I came home to for the most part. Top right two photos are of me in the car and the fact that I listened to country on the way home. The others are from when Dyllon made me a yummy dinner for my break. And then snuggled down to take a nap right before I left. 

Selfie. :)

I thought the fact that both of these are blurry was cool. Just general photos of me headed back to the news.

2nd shift tonight. Missing Kristi! Katelyn was entertained by me taking this photo, i told her she looked tiny. Rebecca was incredibly focused, bless her sweet heart. And Cody. Is always Cody :)

Me being tall. My wall of fame. What I do while I work. Cody with a candy cane.

I'm getting worn out in the top photo.
A Day To Remember is hitting me hard emotionally, and making me more upset in the bottom photo.

Bottom left is a letter I will probably never give my husband.
Bottom right is me watching Taylor Swift get beat up.
Top, is in the car, waiting for it to warm up, and heading home.

AND that brings us to now. I'm working on this blog post, and Dyllon is STILL napping. I wake him up now and then to say hey, and try to see if he'll stay awake (he doesn't) but it's okay. I know he needs rest. I'm getting cold though and I think it's time to make some hot chocolate. I hope y'all have enjoyed my boring day. I'm sure you probably expected more of me, but this is my routine. I love it. I wouldn't trade it for a thing in the world. I love my life. My job. My husband. I love it all.


Even if I am in a  bad mood tonight. I'm thankful to be alive.

We've gotta catch up sometime.


Well, since there's no snow. :| And i'm sitting here doing nothing at all, (besides trying to stay warm) Maybe i'll blog a little. I have been slacking major, after I was doing so good with the daily blog.

Huffington Post inspires me. I saw this post today, and it had be feeling so much better about my life, and the stress seemed to float away. 

Things To Know, Understand and Live By:
1. It's OK to think you're awesome. 
2. Choose yourself. 
3. Twenty seconds of courage is all you need when you're feeling fearful or anxious.
4. Ask for help. 
5. Stop being so jaded. 
6. Forgiveness and acceptance are freeing and necessary to maintain peace of mind. 
7. It's OK to change your mind on anything, big or small, at any time.
8. Make the time to foster your creativity, always.
9. Don't be afraid of change.
10. It's OK to not be friends with people anymore. 
11. Choose Love.
To Do:
12. Cook. 
13. Learn a second language fluently. 
14. Back up my phone and computer regularly. 
15. Treat the weekends as more than just a time to go out. There's something sacred in having 48+ hours of consecutive free time to do things you can't usually do on the weekday... things that go beyond just going out. Examples include hanging with loved ones in a non-party setting, reading, sleeping, writing, creative endeavors, catching up with long-distance family and friends, cleaning, learning a new skill and spending quality time alone.
16. Relearn history/Watch the news. 
17. Live abroad for at least six months. 
18. Learn self defense.
19. Stop biting my nails. It's just a gross habit.
20. Have a savings account. 
21. Appreciate and spend quality time with my parents more. 
22. Make my bed every day and eat breakfast. It just feels more adult-like to make my bed in the morning and eat a healthy first meal.
23. Take care of my body. 
24. Have better posture.
25. Stop being addicted to technology. I want to stop checking my phone, emails and Facebook first thing in the morning/last thing at night, as well as throughout the day as much as I do.

Definitely some words to live by :)
Got my wheels a'turnin.
I'm so easily inspired lately. Everything I see and do in life, bring me to love being on this earth more. I have developed the ability to find the beauty in everything.

Like, yesterday, I went on a walk down main street, and I just decided to take photos of everything I saw. I saw so many different things, that were simple and beautiful without even trying.











discovering simple beauties in life are what seem to make me the most happy as of now.

I've been so busy, but I've been thinking non stop, about things I wanna see and do with life, from finding the perfect house, to finding the perfect black flats.

From finding a chevron shower curtain, drinking more smoothies, life has become such an inspired adventure. 

I want to hang nothing but black and white pictures in my house, but I want them to be in colored frames. Two purple frames I received as wedding gifts were my inspiration for that. 

I've also been making a playlist of songs that make me happy, and remind me of good times.

Helpless When She Smiles - BSB
Some Nights - FUN
Devils Den - Skrillex
If It Means A Lot To You - ADTR

Just The Way You Are (Cover) - Boyce Avenue

You and I - Lady Gaga

My list is eternal. Not complaining. 
This list definitely comes in handy on nights where i'm like, I am gonna listen to nothing but sad songs and drown in my sadness. sad sad. 
Sad sad sad.

I've also decided that I am going to spend much more time heating healthy, and less time calling myself fat. Where will that get me? Nowhere. 
I also need to write more letters, and draw more often. 
Tattoos are coming as well, this summer, once Dyllon and I get our money right..



**naaa….naa…na na, wait'll I get my money right**
Maybe i'll finally be brave enough to get the half sleeve. In honoring my Papaw, I think I can pull it off.

I guess i'll end my rant now, but one more thing.
