M is for...

Mike.
and Mancrush Monday.
and Mushy cuz it's about to get real mushy around here.

Since it's Monday and social media has deemed it the day of the week you're allowed to post about a male you're crushin on I'm going to post about my favorite male that I crush on everyday. 

Also, because today is our second anniversary!

This is Mike.

Isn't he handsome? :)

I am so truly blessed to have this wonderful guy in my life. 

Everyday he challenges me and helps me grow. 

He is sweet and thoughtful and encouraging. 

He is constantly making me laugh, or blush, or smile until my face hurts. 

My favorite moments are when we lay around talking for hours, pouring our hearts out about everything and nothing until we both start yawning and realize we've talked all through the night into the morning. 

When I hate everyone he's the only one I can stand and actually want to be around. 

He helps calm my crazy brain and kisses away my worries. 

He is my favorite human.

I am so thankful I get to call him mine.

I love you ever so much sweet boy, thank you for loving me.

lately.

Hey guess what?

I've finally worked out my life so that I can have time to blog and give you the attention you deserve! Hooray!!

So let's get caught up.

Here's what's been happening since the last time we hung out.

-I turned 24...woo mid twenties.

-I'm still living in AZ at my mom's house...but saving desperately so that I can get my own place as. soon. as. possible. Don't get me wrong, I love my mom, she's one of my best friends, but I am SO ready to have my own space it's not even funny. Anyway...I'll keep you updated.
-Weston was born!

-I no longer work at the elementary school and instead have a big girl job working for the most wonderful loan officer ever. ( I have never loved a job as much as I love this one. I ENJOY getting up each morning to come into work and I am NOT a morning person)

-I'm no longer getting my degree in art education and instead I'm pursuing a certificate in personal styling. (More on that later)
-I still have that wonderful guy in my life. We just went to Ohio last week for his cousin's wedding and I got to meet his family. T'was a wonderful trip :)

-I was in the musical 9 to 5 in May and am currently rehearsing for CATS(I know, so appropriate for this cat lady) which opens at the end of this month.

Aaaand I think that pretty much covers it! Talk to you soon! (really, for reals, I promise)
