I have been with my main squeeze for 6 years now. It is safe to say we have taken our fair share of cheesy, typical, ridiculous couple’s photos. SOOOOO because I am suffering major writer’s block today and have a million things to do (and only am doing a post today because I am trying […]
Adulthood 101: Plungers, Sponges, & Embarrasment…Oh My!
I remember the feeling of euphoria I had as the day of my high school graduation (and coincidentally, my 18th birthday) approached. I was almost done with waking up at 6:00am for classes that I basically texted my way through anyway. I was prepared with a car that was itching to drive me to all […]
