It's Not the New Year Yet!

My oh my has it been a loooong time since I last posted, but who says I can't get one more post in before the NEW YEAR! Crazy to think that in just a few short days we will be living in the year 2016. I feel like just yesterday it was 2000. Ha! Lots has happened in the year 2015 both good and bad. My goal this year is to not dread and look back on the negatives. Easier said than done I know! 

In the last couple months I have been quite the busy gal, one of those people you look at and think "do they ever stop?" I wish I could sit here and tell you that I have had a lot down time to just relax, but that would be a total fib. While I have been super busy, I must say that it really has kept me on my toes and it's stuff like this busy lifestyle that keeps me going. 

I guess we will start with the month of October-- I celebrated my 21st birthday with my best friend  in the great city of Chicago! It was truly such a short and magical trip. We had the best time ever just shopping, eating good food and getting some much needed down time. We were no big party animals, I think most nights we were in bed by midnight at the latest and I was not complaining. The weather was a perfect chilly 50 degrees something that we weren't getting her at that time. It wasn't the sunniest but I was totally fine with that for once in my life. I was just wanting the cold!!! However as much as I wanted cold weather, I packed pretty poorly leaving out a jacket... BRRRR. Luckily I survived and made it back to hot and muggy Houston three days later. I love traveling and I love adventure but I must say I love coming home to my city. There is something about familiarity that just eases my mind. 21 has been filled with a whole lot of nothing, but I will say I am now a full on adult and I couldn't be more excited. 

Shortly after I returned October wrapped up and Thanksgiving fast approached. Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday. I love it for many reason one being the food and the other being the fact that everyone is together and there is no stress of gift giving. It just makes for a perfect little time and I truly look forward to it every year. We enjoyed much needed R&R and ate until we could no longer see our toes ;). If only  I could learn a thing or two from my mom on cooking, I think I'd be set for life. Alas I have not learned a single thing so I think I'll keep her around a little longer. LOVE YOU MOM! It seems like once Thanksgiving happens the rest of the year just goes at lightning speed. You blink and it's Christmas, and Christmas brings lots of stress!!! AHHH! In the beginning of December I bit the bullet and decided to give everyone an early Christmas present.....wait for it...... I GOT A LICENSE. Yes this 21 year old, got her license and I haven't looked back since, and I think it's safe to say no one else has either. This year I definitely had the case of "Christmas crazy" I was tired, grumpy and just an all around unenjoyable person to be around. Not really sure what brought on the foul mood, but  I am glad it is over and  I am sure everyone else is too!!!! 

So here we are now about to hit a new year and I am ready to go!! I am ready to wave goodbye to 2015 and welcome 2016 with loving arms! I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday season!


Here's to you 2016, lets see what you got!!


XOXOXO,

Maggie
