In case you haven't noticed...I've been slacking major on getting blog posts up. I did say one resolution of mine was to slow down and not rush right...? {ha ha} I'm going to be real honest between having two jobs, planning a wedding, and doing the blog thing as a hobby...a girl can get exhausted and fast. Oh, did I mention Dustin and I are back into the grind of working out? That to come in the next post...woofta. I hope you all had a wonderful NYE and brought in the New Year with loved ones. Although I'm not big into celebrating NYE we did get the chance to enjoy our selves with great friends, food, and even gambled...slightly. I lost a whopping $7 you all...but what can I say...I'd rather see my hard earned money hanging in my closet. Joking, well slightly.

 

One thing I can say is I'm a strong believer in having a new year, starting over fresh, creating resolutions, and believing that what is yet to come will always be a beautiful adventure. I don't mean to switch to sad mode, but these past two years haven't been the greatest and while these times were extremely hard, lessons were learned, priorities were adjusted, tears were shed, questions were left unanswered....and through it all there was a sense of calmness and relief. I'm not going to go into religion, what I believe, what you should....not because I don't believe or for that matter want to share...but those moments of darkness with my savior were and still remain personal. Anyways, on a lighter note I'm so ready for 2015. There are many great things happening moving forward and I feel like things are falling into place!

 

I want to take a second to gush about how much I adore this buffalo plaid poncho from Impressions Boutique. It's so easy to just throw on for a warm, cozy, winter look. Confession...I'm a tad bit obsessed with their wide variety of clothing and the prices are so reasonable. Side note, I feel obligated to share Tess and I bared the cold, like -5, cold....and to no surprise she was able to catch these amazing shots. It felt so incredibly good to have the sun shining..I swear you all..we've been without sun for years, okay months. I end this post with a motivational quote. As always thanks for following!

 

 

Look closely at the present you are constructing. It should look like the future you are dreaming.
