Wow, 2015, Wow

Wow, what a year!
While there were a lot of downs this year, a lot happened in 2015 and it was just an incredible year!

First off, I am now engaged and it's so overwhelming and exciting. I can't plan a thing yet, we're too excited.

Boyfriend and I also moved into our first place together earlier in the year, but I think the engagement thing kind of overshadows this one.

We also decided to drive to California and go to Disneyland!  What an amazing trip that was.
It was my boyfriend fiancee's (I'm going to have to get used to that!) first time going there and he loved it.

We had amazing Fall but that came with some down moments for me which I have, thankfully, overcome now. 

We stayed at a beautiful resort up island for my fiancee's birthday. An hour and half of eating and a dip in a mineral pool? I'm up for that anytime.

A little girl entered my life, thanks to my brother and sister-in-law.

And I am just so excited to get to know her more and watch her grow up!

I feel like much more happened this year but these were the highlights.

How did this past year treat you?
Let me know in the comments!
Have a fun, healthy, happy, and safe New Year!

Five Things From Vacation

Hello Lovelies!
I am back from vacation and while I'm loving the Autumn weather that is happening here I am not happy to be back to reality.

Boyfriend and I both got used to the California heat and as soon as we made it back up to Washington we were freezing.

I don't know if I mentioned it or not but we drove to California.
We learned some things on our journey:

1. Next time we want to go to Southern California we'll fly.

2. Boyfriend enjoyed his first vacation and wants to go on more. AND he loved Disneyland.

4. Seeing a Tapir in real life was just as exciting as we thought it would be.

5. Fireworks in front of the castle is one of the most magical things I have ever experienced.

Goodbye Summer! You will be missed but thank you for hanging around so long this year :)

What are your Summer highlights?

Summer Lovin'

Hello!
It's been awhile.  Longer than usual.
I don't really have excuses this time, but I have been focusing more on my youtube channel lately which I'm very proud of myself for doing.
I even invested in a new fancy camera as a present to myself.
My boyfriend is being very supportive and will even give me ideas for videos when I'm struggling.
So far, it's a lot of haul videos which are fun but I love videos that are done like a music video so I'm going to work some of that into my channel too.

What have you done so far this Summer?
We've taken a day trip up the island and that was probably one of the best days ever.

I'm looking forward to our trip down the coast at the end of August.
We've never taken a vacation together before so it will be neat to see how we do on a road trip!
Boyfriend has actually never taken any vacation time from work before so it will be nice for him to have a break.

We plan to go to Portland for sure and we hope to make it to Disneyland! I'm still working on the details though.

 These past few weeks have been tough learning that some family, friends and pets all have cancer.  The family has been together a lot and just leaning on one another I guess is the best way to put it.
 It'll get better.

I'll have my first every niece in two months, we're waiting to hear about some other news from one of my brothers and then Boyfriend and I have been discussing marriage a lot lately.
He wants to get married in Disneyland, but I told him our mothers wouldn't be so happy about missing out on the marriage.

Needless to say, there are some exciting times to come and I'm ready to take it on!
