Today I had a few friends over for a little vision boarding party! It was just four of us which ended up being very chill, and we all had a great time! I love making vision boards and just yapping w the gals while listening to a throwback playlist. It was definitely a great Saturday!
Thank goodness it’s Friday! I am so tired, but just knowing I only have to get through today and it’s the weekend again is keeping me motivated. It’s the beginning of the year so I’ll be verifying lots of new insurances, but I will also be keeping in mind that I am only one human, and there’s no reason to stress when there’s only so much I can do.
Things are falling into place at work and I’m hoping by the end of first quarter we will have some great strides with our new front desk lead, aka my old manager! She’s only been at the office two days and I can tell how good this is gonna be- just gotta be patient per usual!
I hope everyone has a great Friday and upcoming weekend!
2025 was a wild ride for sure- full of many of highs and lows. Highs included new tattoos, celebrating birthdays and bachelorettes, midwest travels, and going to my first NFL game w/ my mom! Lows included recovering from my tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy/turbinate reduction surgery, finding out our cat Mushu has diabetes, and grieving the loss of loved ones.
Amidst all of the chaos that life brings, I still have the best life partner, loving family members, supportive friends, and I just entered my 30s in good health. I am so grateful for this wonderful life, and as I enter 2026, I can’t help but feel blessed.
Wishing everyone a happy new year- I hope 2026 shows us all how good it can truly get!
I can hear the rain falling outside as I lay in bed, and it makes me not want to get up. Luckily, I really don’t have to since I did laundry and grocery shopping already this weekend, but my ass will go crazy if I stay in bed all day.
Once I get up I’ll do some stretching, mainly because my neck/shoulders have been a bit tight. After that I need to burn another one of my 13 wishes that I wrote on the Winter Solstice. I saw this idea that you write 13 wishes down, fold them up real small, and then each day from December 24th- January 4th you pick one up (don’t read it) and burn it. Then on January 5th, that last wish left you’ll own up, and now that is the one that you have to make happen in 2026!
I like this idea, because those other ones that you burn are just being released to the Universe, and you just have to have faith and trust that those wishes are being worked on. Then it also brings down the endless “resolutions” to one true dream that you can dedicate time and focus to.
I’ll roll out of bed here soon, but for now I’ll be enjoying snuggles with my husband and listening to Bailey Sarian. I hope everyone has a relaxing Sunday.
I didn’t wake up with presents under the tree, but I still woke up with holiday glee! Today my husband and I are taking a little mini trip to enjoy some indoor water parks, swim up bars, and some shopping! See, Christmas can still be fun when you’re 30!
I’m currently waiting in the longest Starbucks line ever to get us some coffees for the road, and I’m honestly not even bothered by the line. I’m just enjoying the fact that it’s a peaceful holiday, and I get to enjoy all of my favorite things this holiday! I love water parks and shopping, and I especially love when I get to do those things with my favorite person!
This is the only full day I have to work this week, so I’m looking forward to just going in & putting my head down & getting to work! I have a game plan & I am going to make sure it’s a positive, productive day. Tomorrow I work a half day, and then I’m off until Monday again! It’ll be so nice to have time off with my husband- even just hanging out this weekend was great!
Today was a relatively chill day. My husband had to work, while I was lucky enough to have the day off. I went over to my parent’s place this morning and spent some time with them since we did Thanksgiving dinner at my husband’s parent’s house last night. My mother was kind enough to make me breakfast, and it was nice to just relax and laugh at some HGTV.
I did a little bit of cleaning/reorganizing at home, and I decided to do a last minute grocery pickup for this evening since we are getting a winter storm early tomorrow morning. I’m glad that it’s the weekend and as much as I wanted my nails done, it’s probably best I just reschedule and stay home.
It’s been nice having peaceful days at home. Our friends have been announcing pregnancies and births of their children, and we are still in this quiet season where we can enjoy one another’s company. We do want children in the near(ish) future though, as much as sometimes I do have my fears around it. I have to remember that the Universe has its own plan, and no matter what, I can have faith that all will work out how it should.
