A new year's tradition

My family has a New Year's Day tradition (of not so great origins, but that is a story for another time). The legend is that whatever you do on New Year's Day, you'll spend that year doing.

So, plan your tomorrow accordingly.

I don't know about you, but as for me, I hope to
Spend time with my family 
so that I'll be sure to see them lots this year.
Run a bit. 
because, you know, I'm training for a marathon and all.
Figure out my goals
so I have some direction in 2014.
Do some work 
because I really hope to have a job for most of the year, post-graduation.
...but not too much work, because, balance.
Eat healthy.
...but also eat some good-tasting, not-so-good-for-me food, because hey, you gotta live a little.
Talk to my boyfrand 
and hope this is the last New Year's Day we spend apart for at least a little while.

I hope you all have a wonderful New Year's Eve and start 2014 off right! Happy new beginnings to you all!

This Christmas

I LOVE Christmas. I do. But this Christmas, I'm having all the feelings and all the emotions, because I know that Christmas can be a really difficult, really sad time for people, and for a lot of people I love.

So if you're having a rough time this Christmas, I'm thinking of you. I don't have anything to say to make it better, because sometimes things are just hard. And you don't have to be happy right now. It's ok. But if you need someone to talk to, I'm here. Feeling lots of feelings.

I hope you all are having a wonderful Christmas. Loving all of you from Missouri. <3

We love fall :)

and pumpkins and pumpkin patches.

and the Avengers and Harry Potter.

*Happy Halloween, friends!*
