Hiatus Over! (I think)

Well it's raining in Athens. I just missed my bus. I got off one bus and ran to my other one just to watch it pull away right as i get up to it. I think I almost knocked some guy over on the way. oops. So I bought myself a mocha.

yeah I am still alive. Sorry about that. Over the holidays I just did not want to blog, and lets be real, if it's a burden, I personally would not be writing the best posts. Now I think I'm ready to start blogging more consistently. No promises. I don't think I'm going to be as focused on link ups and advertising and  growing my blog, I'm just going to write. I want to look back on my blog and be able to read about my life and the things that are important to me...

Like remembering some lovely things from my time at home!

On my 21st birthday (which was December 20th) Chad took me out to a great Italian restaurant for dinner where I ordered Chicken Francese and a glass of Merlot. It's official. I'm a wine person. After that we got some Christmasy drinks from Starbucks and went to a wonderful lights show. This was in the walk through portion. the rest of the time you drive. We finished the night up with a chick-flick at home. It was wonderful. He is wonderful!

We took Chad's Nephew to see Santa for the first time! Santa was in this cool house/yard completely (over)decorated with lights and figurines and everything Christmas. Micah cried.

Like always we made gingerbread houses/gingerbread things. Like always Me and Chad one the title of best gingerbread housething. Notice the shimmery snow. Awesome, right?

Christmas was absolutely wonderful. Christmas Eve German food at Mimi's, Brunch at my house, lunch at Chad's, and a whole lot of family, food, and love. I am still convinced I ate more sugary foods that anything else.

Plus I got to kiss this guy on Christmas Eve. At this point we were at Chad's house after spending some time at a party and Chad has already Changed into sweatpants. oops! Oh and see that cute watch on my wrist? Birthday present form Chad. awwww yeah!

And here is a selfie.Because I wanted a picture of my sparkly sequin New Years Top.

There is so much else that went on and I am sure I will recount it as I can. Either tomorrow or Friday I get to see Chad again. It's killing me (and him) being away. It gets harder every time. Soon.
