It finally happened, our first big fight...
6 Month Check in
It's that time of the year! We're officially 6 months into 2020 and wow has it been one heck of a doozy. So come with me and let's check on what resolutions I've followed through with and what ones I haven't (probably all of them, idk. Guess we'll find out!)

No Bread Diet: Week 1
Hi guys! James and I are almost to the end of week one and so far so good! For those of you who may be asking what diet we are following, I'm gonna be straight, we aren't following anything specific. This is the first diet challenge-thing James and I have ever attempted so I figured it would be good to try something that would set us up for success instead of failure. The idea of cutting out bread seemed like a good way to start because we eat it often and it truly does not benefit one's health and tbh it's been fairly easy so far. Because of this we decided to take it up a notch and kind of go for more of a keto friendly diet. We are trying to cut out more carbs, fruits, and stick with healthy fats and greens. Yum.
No More Bread
So James and I are going to attempt our no bread diet for the next 30 days. The plan? To cut out all bread, pasta, and try to reduce as many heavy carbs as we can. Will it be difficult? Absolutely. Will we accomplish it? I honestly don't know!
Anniversary Dinner: A Review
So Monday was my 6 month wedding anniversary! Which I know is not a huge deal but it was still fun to celebrate as it also happened to be our 4 year dating anniversary! So instead of going all out on Valentine's Day, we went out to a nice dinner. And because of a very generous Christmas present in the form of a gift card we were able to eat at a very swanky restaurant.
Dyeing to Meet You
The first time I ever changed my hair color was in 6th grade when my Mom kindly took the time to carefully give me blonde highlights. The next time I dyed my hair was black in 8th grade...don't ask...everyone goes through an emo stage and mine just happened to be because I couldn't dance at the middle school winter dance due to a broken ankle and that brought out the early version of teen angst inside me. The next time I would dye my hair would be in 2017 after graduating from college.
An Open Letter to my Husband
First let me start off by saying "WE'RE MARRIED!!!" I know I say that like once a day but I still cannot get over it! Who knew that on February 17th, 2016 two college kids with a budding romance would get married?! I certainly didn't. Meeting you that night, was 100% love at first sight.
Meme Dump!
Because sometimes you just want to scroll through memes
Mourning
It's been almost 5 months of married life and although I love it, I know that James and I do miss parts of our lives from before the wedding and living together. This post is basically talking about how it's ok to be married and mourn your old life, it happens to everyone and it doesn't stop at getting married. It happens to new parents and it happens whenever change occurs. We always look back at these moments in our lives and think "I had it so good then." We almost romanticize the old because we are putting away the bad memories and moments that occurred without considering that both the good and bad happen whether it be the past, the present, or the future.
