new design/halloween!

So it took me forever to choose a new style for my blog... but it's finally done! And I absolutely love it. I hope y'all do too!

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays because it's my favorite season and I love dressing up, especially with a friend (or in my case, a super cute boyfriend). Connor and I spent our Halloween at a dance that he was the DJ for. He did so well and I was so so proud of him(if you ever need a DJ for a party or anything, let me know! Con really is so good and would love to DJ at your event)! I saw some really cute Elsa's this year and I must say, that was my weakness because I absolutely love Frozen and the little girls just looked absolutely adorable.
Connor and I dressed up as Woody and Jessie and I must say, we looked pretty dang cute.

I have no idea why this is blurry... I have tried uploading it through different accounts and things but it's just going to be blurry :(

I have to say that my mom made these costumes! She MADE them!! How amazing is she! Thanks mama, we couldn't have been such a cute Halloween couple without you!
I hope you all had such a fun (and very safe) Halloween! I'm sad that we have to wait another 365 some days until the next one but guess what...

ONLY 7 MONDAYS LEFT UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!!!
I cannot wait!
Have a happy Monday :)

under construction

hello everyone!

sorry i've been MIA for a while... life has been going fast and i can hardly find the time to make a meal, nonetheless post on my blog!

however, i am getting used to my changing schedule and am confident that i will begin to find time to dedicate here again because i have missed it oh so much!

until then though, my blog will be under construction for a few days. so if you stop by and see things looking like a mess, i can assure you that it is only temporary! beauty is pain right? :) at the end of the changes i will have a new and beautiful blog which i can NOT wait for!

so until then, please feel free to stop by anytime you'd like: but this is your fair warning! just bear with me for a few days!

thanks y'all!

golden moments

tonight i had a real "aha" moment.

i had a really magical moment.

it was special.

it was a golden moment.

i think i have them more often than i even recognize.

i'm so incredibly lucky. this is such a big world, and i'm such a little girl. but somehow, as the world is spinning and people are rushing, i am here: falling deeply in love, having so many golden moments every single day. and i'll never take another one of them for granted.

connor kissed me tonight and after his lips left mine, i just lingered, my eyes still closed...

soaking in every second of that moment with him.

his arms around me, my body vulnerably, trustingly intertwined in his.

the movie playing on my television didn't exist.

my cell phone didn't exist.

nothing existed but the two of us.

and the longer i closed my eyes, the more love seemed to continuously grow within me.

i was full of love for this person.

i was the luckiest girl in the world.

it was a golden moment.

every single day with connor is a golden moment.

driving down the street, my hand in his, listening to whatever is playing (country if it's my car, rock or rap or Coldplay if it's his) :)

grocery shopping for a treat we wanted to make.

falling asleep next to him after a long day.

and no...

relationships aren't always easy.

they shouldn't be.

they require so much selflessness, so much trust, so much patience.

but as many hard times as there are...

there are thousands of golden moments for one single hard moment.

we learn, we grow.

and it makes for even more meaningful golden moments.

i love him so much, guys.

so much more than i ever thought i could love someone at just 18 years old.

i don't care how young i am.

the feeling i had when closing my eyes after a long kiss with the boy i love so much was undeniable;

it was love.

no doubt in my mind.

i love him.

i love him.

i love him.
