It's already Thanksgiving?

Y'all have to forgive me for my lack of posts... 2014 has disappeared on me! It feels like just yesterday I was preparing for my first holiday season at the mall - but apparently, and entire year has passed by.

Let's recap real quick:


  • Family: Doing good. My dad has accepted a position as the president of a moving company in Pennsylvania and I am so proud of him! It's a new season of life for our whole family: my little brother is about to graduate high school, my dad is starting this incredible new job, my mother is working full-time around all of the changes the aforementioned bring, and I'm fighting my way into adulthood. I haven't seen a lot of them this year - I hate Jacksonville, my dad was in Maryland for most of the first half of the year, and everyone is just really busy. I was going to fly up to Pennsylvania after Christmas to visit because I have four days off after Christmas, but it turns out my whole family is LEAVING Pennsylvania the day I wanted to fly up... ha. Still, I'm super proud of my whole family for how well they've done for themselves this year.
  • Identity crisis: my anxiety has turned to complete apathy. At first I was thankful for the lack of panic, but then I started forgetting about homework assignments and I'm probably never graduating so the panic is coming back.
  • Ryan: Very good. Kicking ass at both aerospace engineering and being a security officer. My best friend. More mush, etc.
  • My new apartment: I have reached roommate & apartment nirvana. Who knew it'd include a blanket fort, Christmas lights, and a Craigslist couch?
  • Work: Busy, fun, satisfying, wonderful, sometimes stressful, still an awesome job.
I've been up to my usual stuff over the past few months: crafting, playing with my rats, marathoning TV shows with Ryan... you know, the usual.

I recently revamped my Etsy store and it's been doing well. I really enjoy it! It's a fun little hobby. You can check it out here.

The ladies are adorable as usual.

I'm 21 now - I may be able to drink wine, but I'm still doing it in my pajamas.

Roommate and I like to try delicious drinks together.

Ryan and I are still adorable, as usual.

I still have a face. My hair has gotten so long.

I got a custom leather traveler's notebook from ChicSparrow on Etsy. Good decision. Very good decision.

Ryan and I dressed up at Burt Macklin & Janet Snakehole from Parks & Rec for Halloween.


Hope you all are doing well. :)
