I love these on my mind posts. They are really helpful for a good self reflection moment.
There has been a lot going on lately. First and foremost, Drew was here for three weeks instead of two (thank you baby Jesus.) I owe Drew a lot, I have done a lot of growing up since we started. Being in a relationship teaches me to constantly compromise. Sometimes things aren’t going to go my way, but sometimes being with him makes that okay. I have also learned to be more kind. I know he does his best to treat me the best he can, but sometimes moments arise where I want to be mean, get mad, yell, scream, fight, etc hahaha oops… But I have gotten a lot better at taking a second and realizing he isn’t perfect, but he wants the best for me. Which helps quell the anger ha. He also amazes me daily. I feel like I know him…pretty wellllll at this point and then he will do something simple and my love grows more and more. I am so glad to have him in my life.
Okay enough of the mushy.
Let’s talk about Winston or Winnie since learning of her updated sex hahaha read more here.
She is so good!!! I am slightly turning into a pet person. I’ll admit I cried a little when I had to leave her for the first time. She also has started sleeping with me. Drew approved of letting her on the bed. Omgosh seriously, I love her. Here are some of the few…okay several pictures from the last couple weeks…okay days…
Finally, talking about new beginnings. In hindsight, it is always interesting to see chapters of your life begin and end. I have a lot of appreciation for the people who have shaped me into the person I am becoming. In terms of friendships/relationships big changes are scary. Break ups are sad, losing friends feels lonely. Coming out on the other side with a more positive outlook for the future is helpful in those dark moments. I have also found new friends within the blogging community. It’s funny what brings people together. Sometimes it’s embarrassing, “how did you meet.” “Umm we blog.” And sometimes it’s awkward, but I am okay with that, because the people I have met are amazing.
Jane listens to me ramble about beauty products and takes me on walks with Lola
Erin wants to try all the restaurants I want to try and will always join
Michelle inspires me to be a better blogger
Brooke is one of the most honestly funny people I’ve met.
Sara makes me jealous of her “flossy” lifestyle
The list could go on. To all of my new blogger friends. I adore you. Thank you.
Can’t wait for all the adventures that await us
Love, Rachel xo
