A little delayed in uploading, but it was taken last week. At this time, it had been about 2 weeks since I moved to Minneapolis. I have a new, awesome job, live in an amazing apartment with two awesome people, have an amazing, loving boyfriend who treats me like I'm the best thing that ever happened to him, and am growing happier and stronger every day. What an amazing, life-changing transition this has been.

So happy to be happy. I'm in a place where I'm growing up but still feeling young.

Birthday bracelet for my bestie!

This girl! One of the most amazing women and friends to enter my life! So glad we reconnected after years of finding ourselves. It was awesome to have our paths cross again and to see not much has changed between us. So happy to have her back in my life.

And bought this shirt in which all proceeds go towards the scholarship

Rocked this shirt that I made for the 3-on-3 3 years ago

Pippin Ain't Easy is for sure going to take the win

Today, I went to the Together Forever 3-on-3 Basketball tournament in honor of 2 amazing guys who passed away in high school and an amazing man who passed as well. I'll never forget that day, the day that shook Cedarburg, especially Cedarburg High School. Such an amazing event that helps raise money for a scholarship. So glad I got to attend and being surrounded by the memories almost brought tears to my eyes. BR & TJ Together Forever

Doin it! George at Barton Ink

Ratatouille omelette with fresh pesto and stuffed hash browns with goat cheese and olives at Blue's Egg

Blue's Egg in Wauwatosa. Absolutely AMAZING!

Life works in funny ways. I wasn't expecting to meet anyone coming out of my relationship, quite frankly, I expected to be alone for a very long time. So amazingly and unbelievably happy that this guy entered my life. So many laughs and so much happiness. Hopefully much more to come.

Took some time out of my life to visit the best friend in the entire world in Minneapolis, Minnesota for his birthday. So thankful this guy is a part of my life and always will be.

Got to meet up with this lovely, amazing lady today for the first time in 4 years! The first time we met, we were in 3D concepts in high school. She's still so amazing and even more beautiful! So good to see you and catch up!

July 22, 2014: Hooolllyyyy shit, I cannot believe the progress that has already been made since last week. I feel such a sense of relief to be able to be me again. I've had a great few days of recovery and self-discovery with friends and family. I finally feel like I can breathe again, like I'm me again.

"Learn to be Still" text inspired by my favorite Eagle's song and the song that is absolutely perfect for me.

It's just another day in paradise
As you stumble to your bed
You'd give anything to silence
Those voices ringing in your head
You thought you could find happiness
Just over that green hill
You thought you would be satisfied
But you never will-
Learn to be still

We are like sheep without a shepherd
We don't know how to be alone
So we wander 'round this desert
And wind up following the wrong gods home
But the flock cries out for another
And they keep answering that bell
And one more starry-eyed messiah
Meets a violent farewell-
Learn to be still
Learn to be still

Now the flowers in your garden
They don't smell so sweet
Maybe you've forgotten
The heaven lying at your feet

[Solo]

There are so many contridictions
In all these messages we send
(We keep asking)
How do I get out of here
Where do I fit in?
Though the world is torn and shaken
Even if your heart is breakin'
It's waiting for you to awaken
And someday you will-
Learn to be still
Learn to be still

You just keep on runnin'
Keep on runnin'

Starting point for getting in better shape. Shit starts here.

Week 1, July 13, 2014. Exactly one week since my fiancé left me. Today was okay, this evening has been rough. Broke down crying at work and haven't been able to get out of that slump yet. I just keep thinking how much I wish I could tell him how much I still love him, care about him, and miss him. But I can't. And I wish I could know that he felt the same way. I just want everything to be okay. I just want to know what's going to happen next. I'm trying to accept the fact that he'll no longer be in my life but it's the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
