I hope you all had a happy and safe new years! Wow, I haven’t been very good at keeping up with this blog, my apologies. Anyway, on New Years Eve, I had to work and close out the store, but thankfully my manager made sure we were out of there before midnight so I got to ring in the new year with Jimmy and the family. In fact, most of our time has been spent with family lately and I’m loving it. All of us are living under the same roof now and when I say it’s a crowded house, I mean it in the best way possible. I’ve gotten to bond with my sisters, and with the newest addition to the family, baby Josselyn. She is so precious and I can just stare at her for hours. I’m a big fan of babies in general, but she just melts my heart.
So that’s my update. Here are some pictures from when Jimmy took me on a date to Oak Glen a few days before Christmas. Jimmy and I agreed that as laid back as we are, it’s nice to go out on dates every so often and have some quality alone time together. And although we don’t have a little family of our own yet, when we do, our dates will definitely still be a priority. That boy never fails to make me feel special and loved, so you can imagine how much I enjoy our dates. I am such a lucky girl. =]
And to make up for my lack of posting, I’ll make this a very image-heavy post.






Lunch at Apple Annie’s, and a look at their bakery…

Then we went to the petting zoo

Peacocks are one of my favorite birds ever. It was so fun to see them walking around freely.






favorite favorite FAVORITE moment of the day. Everyone who knows me well knows that deer and fawns are my favorite animal!
And in case you were wondering what I’m wearing…

my coat is from forever21 a few years ago, the circle scarf is from wet seal, and my dress and oxfords are thrifted.



Most of the pictures are of me because Jimmy preferred to be behind the camera snapping shots, but I stole the camera from him a few times and snuck these in. He does makes a dashing cowboy, if I do say so myself.









And us
If you actually read through this entire entry and looked at all the pictures, my hats off to you!
