The Big V

Today is Valentine's Day and besides the incessant amount of flowers I've noticed everywhere, it doesn't really feel like it. Perhaps it has something to do with telling my boyfriend not to do anything special, "save your money", or perhaps it has to do with my boyfriend being horribly sick yesterday, or perhaps it has something to do with us being in different states today or lastly, perhaps it has something to do with the awful fight we got into over the weekend and the inability to see beyond those moments of anger and onto the day of love that was just ahead of us... 

Or maybe, it just doesn't feel like Valentine's Day because to me, it's not a big deal and never really has been? 

It could be a combination of all these things but I do know one thing for certain, from here on out I will not be telling my boyfriend, "don't worry hon, let's not celebrate" because my goodness, saying no to your boyfriend when he's offering to do something nice... well, that's just stupid. 

Babe, here we are TWO years and 1 day later and we are still kickin' it :) Every awful fight (including this past one), every silly moment, every decision we make together, every shared experience, every conversation and every kiss, brings us one step closer to the strongest most united relationship I've ever been in. Something tells me we're going places...perhaps all the way to the moon and back ;)

That moment when...

You realize you've forgotten to pack a bra in your gym bag and are forced to wear your stinky, sweaty sports bra all day.

Gross.

Happy Tuesday!

Go, Aubrey Go!

This is the mantra I hear during my runs. Although I'm a big fan of self motivation and enthusiasm, most the times I'm thinking to myself, "would ya shut up". It would be nice if I could go for a run without actually thinking about the fact that I'm running...it would surely be nice. Anyways, I actually really did have a good run today. It was beautiful out, I was going at a good clip (thanks to my sweet mantra) and it just felt nice.

In other news, Social Media Marketing is my career of choice. Found something that I love to do and it feels GREAT. It also feels GREAT to have the support of my friends and family. It also feel GREAT to be working on a project with my brothers awesome girlfriend! I'm so over the moon with it all, it feels like I've found my niche and its GREAT! =)

Before I start to really bore anyone reading this I suppose I should wrap this up.

One more thing.

Maybe not EVERY day but I find at least once a week is a great way to keep things steady...

Happiness

Happiness comes when you are at peace with all aspects of your life.

(At least thats what I believe happiness is).

And I am.

(Right now, anyways).

SO I thought it was time to say Hello and work at making this stick. "This" as in, this blog.

The thing is, I love blogging and when I don't blog, I feel guilty. Yes, I literally feel guilty about not keeping this blog alive. I'm not doing it for anyone but myself but I still feel guilty - crazy!

So I'm back because life is good and I want to remember all the good times (and even the not so good times).

'Til tomorrow....

GO PATS!

That enthusiastic cheer is for my boyfriend ;)

New toy!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In love!
Now I just need to think of the perfect name...suggestions please! :)

In other news, it's been a crazy week so far but a very fun and eventful one. Life is good.

I'M BACK!

Wow, it has certainly been a while huh?! 

Thing's I have learned this past year: 

1. I don't like working from home. It sounds great at first; stroll out of bed when you want, set your own hours, don't have to deal with pesky co-workers and when you need a break, well flip on bravo and they always have housewives re-runs. However, it also means you are left alone with your own thoughts for hours upon hours - torture! Being the oldest of 5, enjoying commotion and not having a car to get around in, I really don't know why I thought it was going to be such a great idea to work remotely. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the work I've been dong (social media marketing) but at the end of the day, I enjoy my sanity even more. So TOMORROW I start a new job - in an office - and I couldn't be happier about it :)

2. Relying on other people and a unreliable public transit system for transportation is not fun. For a long time I have considered having my own car to be a unnecessary expense. Well, I recently realized that in order for everything else around me to work, my happiness needs to come first and having the freedom to hop in a car and just gooooo, makes me happy. So tomorrow night I go to pick up the cutest little pixie of a car! Pics to come!!

3. I love my Mom, and want to continue working on our blog together but I also really like having this blog. I was sitting in a starbucks last week, sipping on a latte, in the corner and watching everything going on around me. That's when I realized that I like this blog and am not ready to abandon ship! 

4. Relationships are hard but the deeper I get into this one, the more and more I love him. 

5. These bullets are getting shorter and shorter, bedtime is very near...

Well, I know I've lost some followers but I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things and I hope you visit this silly little blog once and awhile! :0)

P.S. Things I saw on the internet today and liked...

YUM. 

"I have only done this once before"... what the hell?
