This is the first year ever I’ve got to experience Valentine’s Day with someone special. Every year this day would really get me down and depress me. Luckily I always had the love of my friends to remind me how much I am loved and this holiday is stupid and not to feel down. I’m so grateful for all my friends who helped me get thru Single Awareness Day year after year.
And now! FINALLY! I’m sharing the hallmark-made-day of love with a man I love very much.
I hope and wish the rest of my readers are surrounded by love in one way or another. Either by family, friends, significant other or even your pets haha
Love you all! xoxo

HAPPY 2015 EVERYONE!!!!!

The picture above I took of myself enjoying a mimosa with friends the morning of Jan 1st. It was a wonderful way to start off the New Year!
Looking back at old posts, it seems 2014 started off like every other year starts off for me. My goals were to eat healthy and go the the gym.
I so badly want to be in shape and be skinny but stupid food always wins the battle!! Also last year my other resoultion was to write down things that make me happy randomly throughout the year on a piece of paper and put them in a mason jar.

Well surprise surprise… My mason jar is empty. I would think about doing this throughout the year but I would always get distracted and forget to write it down. It’s such a nice idea though! Now that a year has passed, it would have been so fun if I followed through with it. haha

2014 was an awesome year for me. Highlights include:
*Olivias Bachelorette party in Vegas
*Olivia’s wedding in Maui
*Losing 10 lbs for Olivia’s wedding. I had never been so disciplined!
*Girls weekend in Vegas where I met the love of my life, Will
*Making a big change in my life and finding a new job
*Falling in love

Now that 2015 is here my New Years Resolutions are:
1) Find more time to read
2) Go to the gym more
3) Work on FINALLY launching my new blog

Thanks for staying with me all year long!! Excited to see what 2015 brings!

Monday morning I was greeted with these beautiful flowers at the office! The nice man from our reception desk brought them to me and I can’t even tell you what a happy and exciting feeling it is to receive flowers when you least expect it! 

Giddy with excitement I opened the card and the message read, “Hope you have an amazing week. I love you. – Will ”

Flowers from the boyfriend just to make the Monday a little brighter and start the week off on a happy note.

It’s Friday 🎉 #wingsoflibertyclothing #friday #streetwear #clothingbrand #weekend #follow

Happy Friday everyone!!!! The weekend is here. Hooray!! Tonight I’ll be going out with some friends to our favorite outdoor mall. We’ll shop around a little bit then just get dinner and drinks and catch up on life. Friday night mall nights are our absolute fav!

Tomorrow my mom is flying back into LA from a 3 week stay in the Philippines. Excited and happy to have her back home safely. 

This is the first weekend in the last 5 weeks where I wont get to see Will. We got spoiled and were able to see each other every single week lately. But now it’s sort of back to reality and only seeing each other every other week. It’s awful. I just want to be around him all the time and going 2 weeks… is …going …to …suck. 😦

Life Update

Oh heeyyyyy everyone!!! So sorry I havent updated in forever.  I havent forgotten about this blog, so dont worry! But what does a girl who used to be single for over a decade and write about dating and hookups talk about now that she’s fallen in love?!?!

hahaha I guess I could talk about love…but I mean… that’s probably not nearly as entertaining. 

For the past 3 months my life has been all about getting used to this new job I started and giving 90% of all my attention to the new boyfriend. 🙂
Will and I are moving SO fast… I can barely keep up. But it’s all in a good way!
Him and I havent had your typical “we’re dating…taking it slow…” type of relationship. It’s literally been like “hi we met, hi be my girlfriend, hi I’m in love with you. hi here’s my family to meet, hi we both plan on marrying each other, hi this is where we want to raise our children..”

And I mean ALL of this in just a few months.
Scary! Right???
Except I’m not scared at all. 

I’m so happy. I finally feel complete. I finally feel relaxed. I’m totally at ease. The only fear I have going on in this head of mine is “It’s SO fast, will this really last a lifetime?”

And you really dont know. And no one can ever know that. So I’m really just banking on how confident I feel in this relationship and how I feel about him in this moment.

Blogging from work so I gotta be fast! Sorry if this isnt the best written blog. But promise to provide more updates on the regular! xoxo

I’m in Love!!!!

Gah! Who in a million years would have thought I’d be in love by September??? I mean… it all happened so fast but I’ve never felt more happy or more confident in a relationship in my life.

Every time he tells me he loves me… my heart skips a beat. Whether he says it in person, over the phone, or just through a text, it’s just the most amazing feeling in the world. Sometimes I just stare at the words when he writes it and I think “is this really happening to me?”

I was in Vegas last weekend visiting him and I knew I wanted to tell him that I love him. And I wanted to be the first one to say it. From day one he has always been so open with his emotions and his feelings for me and I’ve been more closed off. I’ve discovered in this new relationship that I’m not the best at putting words together to describe how I’m feeling.
I knew I was in love with him 2 weeks before I actually said it. But I wanted to wait to tell him until I could say it in person. We were lying in bed and I turned to him and said “I’m not sure if there’s a perfect time or perfect way to say this. But I wanted to tell you as soon as I saw you, that I’m in love with you. I love you.” and he kissed me and said “I love you too.”

He told me he’s loved me for awhile but was waiting to tell me until we went to Disneyland together in a few weeks, so he could say it under the fireworks.
I’m dating a romantic one, I tell ya.
But I couldnt have waited that long. I needed to tell him right away 🙂

So that’s my love story….

I’m In Love!!!!!

It only takes one moment…

Finally… I am finding the time to sit down and write down what has been going on in my life in just the last month or so.
It’s truly bizzarre how so much has changed SO quickly. And what’s even more crazy is how everything just sort of happened at once.
I’ve been blogging for about 4 years now… and I’ve written story after story of all the struggles I’ve faced trying to find my match. A person who I could click with, feel a mutual connection with and a person I could just find my special place in the world with.
And… it finally happened.

Good news, I have met and I am currently in a relationship with an amazing man!!

His name is Will… and surprising enough… I’ve known of him for years.
About 6 weeks ago I took a weekend vacation to Las Vegas with some of my closest girlfriends. The very first night we went out, one of my guy friends who I’ve known since high school heard I was in Vegas and sent me a text wanting to meet up. So he came out with his roommate, who just happened to be Will. And it’s so funny how it happened but for some reason the moment I saw Will, I was immediately drawn to him. I was giddy he was there and from that point on in the night, I just wanted to be around him.
He hung out with all of us for the rest of the night and knowing my skills, he probably had no idea I was even interested. But something lined up for us…because he ended up reaching out to me the next day and spent the rest of the weekend hanging out. By Sunday, I had realized more and more, in just that short of time, that he was an even better guy than I had guessed. Luckily, even after I had left Las Vegas he continued to text me. And we began talking all day every day for the next 2 weeks.

I took a spur of the moment trip to Vegas to see him and the weekend went perfectly and I realized “I really like this guy!” 5 weeks after we “met” and I was visiting him for the 2nd time in Vegas, he asked me to be his girlfriend. It was fast but it just felt right!

I walked around for years and YEARS never knowing if I’d ever find a partner. And though I never gave up hope, I did get very depressed about it.
And now just like THAT, I have this amazing guy in my life. He has the kindest heart, he’s funny, he’s outgoing and he likes me just for me. Which probably sounds SO cliche…but I can’t even describe to you how hard of a concept it is for me to grasp that this guy really just likes me.

He makes me happy and smile every single day, multiple times a day.
He’s flying in tomorrow evening to stay with me for 4 days. And I cannot wati!! He’s going to meet all my friends in LA and I’m just excited to spend more time with him.

I also start a new job Monday!! Which I will discuss in a different post.
