Hey lovelies, this post is way too overdue. 7 months is a long time to be MIA for, but life managed to get away from me and I haven't been in the mind space to get back into writing. A lot has happened actually since the last time I posted. I survived student teaching, graduated with my Bachelors Degree, got married, and moved to Florida. Life was just kind of moving, moving, moving, and then I finally got to just stop. And stop I did. I felt that I really needed to kind of take a moment for myself and kind of refind myself again. But now I am in a place here I am ready to get going again.
I want to get back into writing because it is something that I enjoy doing regardless of whether or not anyone is actually reading what I have to share. That said, I don't know what I should write about. I have some ideas that I have been jotting down, but if you have any ideas about things you would like to see feel free to let me know. I look forward to getting myself back out there and for you all to read what I've got to say. Hopefully I will be able to get some content out that is on a more regular basis. Until then I hope you all stay happy and well.

First Day of Student Teaching
Hey everyone, sorry that today's post is coming so late in the evening, but I didn't want to just not post, so here it is. I started my first day of student teaching today! I have already worked with the teacher and students, so that was comforting for me. The students were excited for me to be there, and being accepted by the students is obviously important.
Overall it was a good day and I am excited to be a part of their classroom for the next few weeks. I will probably check back in on the subject from time to time. Hopefully I will be able to get something up a little earlier in the day the rest of the week that isn't just a little blurb of nonsense that probably doesn't make sense because I am a little tired right now.

16 Things from 2016
Hello lovelies, I did this last year and I thought I should do it again this year. So, I have come up with 16 things that I have happened over the last year that I want to share with you all. These are in no particular order because that would put far too much pressure on myself.
1. I took my last semester of actual classes on campus.
2. I used up a lot of my makeup.
3. I've learned to control my spending habits.
4. I passed an impossible professor or two.
5. I started my 101 in 1,001 journey and was able to cross some things off. See the list here!
6. I made some really amazing friends.
7. I have begun bullet journaling.
8. I went on a trip to Florida for the first time in 5 years. I want to live on the beach.
9. I didn't keep up with the daily posting that I wanted to do, but overall I posted more this year than I have in all of my previous blogging years combined.
10. I met my reading goal of 26 books! It had started as 16, but my sister thankfully challenged me to 26.
11. I found a love for fantasy novels. New worlds and magic are currently my obsession.
12. I did eye surgery and no longer need glasses. I have exceeded 20/20 vision in my stronger eye.
13. My beauty inventory numbers have gone really well with an actual decrease in some categories.
14. I fed a giraffe.
15. I left my job.
16. I combined my blog about life and books with my beauty blog. It was one of the better decisions that I've made this past year.

Thinkin' 'bout the Past
Do you ever have one of those moments where you become overwhelmed with how time has somehow slipped past you? All the people you once knew so well have become strangers and when you run into them it is like all of a sudden you feel like you can't really see clearly because you are confused about what the heck happened.
I had this moment the other day when I was at an engagement party for my cousin. This isn't about the bride or groom, it is about the bride's brother. I saw him and we both kind of had that moment that we just stared at each other for a moment and we exchanged the standard pleasantries. Before saying goodbye we hugged and in that moment, that small hug with my cousin (who I was actually taller than at one point but not anymore!) I was taken back to grade school. It was always me, him, and another 2 of our cousins. We were a force to be messed with. We were always there for each other, even when we became friends with other people.
But that was grade school...and more years than I would like to divulge have passed and we went from all being such a tight knit group to damn near being strangers. Which I am even more saddened by because we are family and we live fairly close to each other. Somehow in our adulthood we all became too busy for one another.
Why is is that we become so self consumed that we let go of things that mattered so much to us at one point in our lives? I get that people change, that is a very normal part of life. But I don't remember when it happened. When do we decide that people are just not going to be a part of our lives anymore? Is it a gradual change over time or does it happen suddenly?

Mini Life Update
Hello all, today I have a little update as to where the heck I've been pretty much for a month now. Well to start off, my sister-in-law came to town with my newest little nephew who I hadn't met yet, and he instantly took priority of all my free time. I also had a class the first week that she was here that was a week long intensive 3 credit course. We had to learn what typically takes a whole semester in 6 days, and it was a bit of a drive away so I was pretty much burnt out for a while from that. After that class, my sister deciided to come into town with her 4 kids, one of which was a niece that I hadn't met yet. Again family always takes priority.
Anyway, that was a fun I think it totaled 3 weeks between all th evisitors and the class. Safe to say that I was pretty much a zombie from that. But Ramadan came and I began to fast for the holy month. I have been tired from that, and I haven't been wearing any makeup so there was no progress on projects to actually show. But there was also the fact that i had PRK done, which is corrective eye surgery. This kept me off of the computer and my phone for a 4 days. Even now as I sit here typing I have to kind of close my eyes every few minutes because things get out of focus a bit still. Please excuse any typos to the fact that I can't really read the screen and I am just hoping that things are coming out spelled corrrectly, if not typos happen and I am sorry.
So that is kind of very quick and rough overview of where I've been over the past month. I have been updating my progress on project pans, and I have still been reading (or rather listening) to books. I have a couple of posts that I am going to try to get my sister to help me out with so that I can get some content up here. I started a new class, but I don't think it will take up any more time out of blogging. As soon as Ramadan ends in the next 2 weeks I will be trying, key word trying, to get at least 2 posts up a week. I have soem new things coming your way and I am excited about it so you should all be excited about it as well!
In the mean time, check out my last post:3 months of empties!
