*Checks watch* Yup, it’s been a while. And I’ll tell you why… this is the story (or the striped tale) of my life the past year…

April- I took a LOT of exams. (I was STRESSED!!!) 😥

May- I GRADUATED from college!! (Finally! I took what I am calling a victory lap. Sorry Dad for the extra year of financial aid!) 🎉

June- I got married! (And let me just tell you, it is difficult to plan a wedding. Planning a commitment ceremony is crazy hard especially when not even your body parts want to stay committed to you!) 👰

July- I moved! (It was only a few blocks but it was still hard!) 📦

August- I started my first big girl job where I got to put my degree to the test! (Stressed isn’t the word!) 😭

September- Did y’all see that hurricane? I sat and worried about a lot of people. 😦

October- I got to go to see the Dallas Cowboys play the Redskins! (Keep your opinions to yourself, this is my blog.) 😛

November- I had some terrible medical stuff happen and had to have a procedure done. (I am recovering and doing just fine!) 👩‍⚕️

December- I was in a wreck! A deer totaled my husband’s car on a trip from my parents house. (Me, my husband and our dog are fine. The car however is a goner!) 🚙

January- Feeling super guilty for not posting since last April!! Oops. To be fair…. over the last few months I have earned my zebra stripes. Y’all, I am ready for life to calm down.
