I truly loved the holidays. There's nothing I don't like about them. There's something about gathering around the dinner table catching up and just talking about everything. I spent most of the night unplugged. Which made the time even more special. No one was on their phones, everyone was just very present and it was beautiful and crazy cool. Very holiday-like.

We spent this Thanksgiving at my Grams house. If there's one thing you need to know about her, it's that she sets absolutely beautiful tables. I'm always so excited to see what she has in store for us at the table.

She also has all of her Christmas decorations done. Six Christmas trees. Six. She's a crazy lady. But I love her house during the Christmas season, it's full of lights and love and feathers.

I also took out some time for a outfit post. (Which will be posted soon!)

 Grams had these small little signs that said "Give Thanks" on them that were stuffed in our napkins, which was super crafty and totally up my ally and made me love the whole thing even more.

We also learned a lot about my Grams' boyfriend. He grew up in the south and went to college at Michigan State and went on to become a super successful boxer. His stories are honestly the best thing.

 The whole gang.

Denim on Denim

The weather this week has been weird to say the least, first it was snowy and then rainy. Now its slush and I can see the grass once again. Which I don't mind at all since I hate snow. My life currently consists of blogging, working with my best friends - two year olds, and complaining about the weather. 

I seriously love doing these posts. I love putting myself out there and just doing. I've always been so scared of that and now that I'm doing all of this I love it and enjoy it so much. Thank you to everyone who has believed in me and supported me so much. I love you people and I love what I do. You guys are rad.

Why I'm Taking A Year Off

Life is funny. We change our mind. We believe we want one thing but truly want another. All throughout High School, I had planned on going to a university right away. I worked hard to try and achieve it, but my efforts still weren't enough to get me a scholarship that allowed me to be financially comfortable. So I didn't go.

So here I am, dropping my classes for this winter. I had planned on going, and totally excited about going. But then reality set in and my bill was sent to my house. $2,190 for three classes. Now granted, that's not a lot of money to go to school, but for my family it's a lot to drop. For goodness sakes, my parents are trying to buy a house. How on earth could I ask them for help? I wouldn't. I couldn't. I work part time at a daycare center and it would take me months to come up with that money.

I don't know what I want to do with my life. I have absolutely no clue. So why go to school when I don't know? Or maybe it's just an excuse to not go to school. I don't know. But it's just not something that I feel is necessary right now. I like enjoying my life without worrying about paying for my college or juggling both full time school and part time work. I like being able to go to late night movies without having to take my homework with me. I like being able to go shopping whenever I want without worrying about how I'm going to make my next school payment. I can't do that. Not right now. I don't want to.

So I'm taking a year off. To just enjoy life. Period.
