starting Project Life, finally, I began the title page and decided on 12x12
enjoying the weather beginning to warm up
taking time to walk Fifa outside and using her long leash so she can run
thinking about how I don't know what to do with my love life
missing B when I know I made the decision to let go (ugh, long story)
watching Game of Thrones and hating that I caught up because now I have to wait a week like everyone else
eating kale and arugula salads like it's my job
drinking iced coffees again, although my taste in coffee has changed
hating this sore throat
counting down the days until my 27th birthday *gasp*
wishing we weren't so far apart so things could work out
trying to figure out what to do with my life and what I want
reading tons and tons of blogs about gardening, crafting, scrapbooking
dreaming of my Germany trip in August
waiting for the semester to be over so I can relax a bit

#sammyvaca
Apr 10, 2014
If you have ever followed me on Instagram, you will know I use the hashtag #sammyvaca whenever I go on vacation. Well, this might be my new future favorite vacation plan by far. That says a lot, considering I spent three weeks in Thailand.
Well, while talking to my friends wife, Elizabeth, I started planning my trip to Germany to visit her and one of my good friends, Craig. I can not tell you how ecstatic I am to go visit. I have gone to North Carolina a few times to go visit them, you can check that out here and here (when they got married). They moved to Germany almost a year ago for the military and it has been a long time since I have seen them so that is also a plus!
I'll be visiting in August for about two weeks and taking a trip to Rome to visit a friend from college for a few days as well. Along with Germany and Rome, Elizabeth made the suggestion for other places in Europe to travel to, uhhhh yes please. She suggested Greece, Czech Republic, Turkey; ermahgawd. I could pee my pants I'm so excited.
Summer can not come soon enough.
Do you guys have any exciting summer vacation plans?

We celebrated this past weekend for his last birthday in his 20's. The big 29.
He absolutely loves aquariums, I may or may not have mentioned this before, so I drove down to southern New Jersey and took him to the Adventure Aquarium to meet some friends. He got to pet a shark and I got to see penguins - win. I was really excited to see the hippos, which to my misfortune was off exhibit until June.
We don't get to indulge in a lot of dates so I really cherish when we are able to go out to lunch for a burger and beer. By burger, I mean mine was wrapped in lettuce and made of quinoa (it works for me). I cherish the moments we get to try new places together.
I especially love the moments when he snuggles with Fifa, when she crawls into his nook and falls asleep. He finally got to hear her snoring in person.
For his birthday after the aquarium, I took him to the nicest steakhouse in my area. Yes, this vegetarian willingly went to a steakhouse for her boyfriend. I turned pescetarian for the night and tried some mahi mahi, not terrible but I probably will not go for it again. He loved it, one of the best steaks he's ever had. I think I did good for his birthday.
Distance isn't easy. We struggled, we still struggle but we are managing. I can not say we are perfect but we are attempting to make it work for us. I try not to overanalyze the situations and enjoy the moment we are in and enjoy the moments we have together. Hopefully it gets easier with time. Thank goodness for technology.

100 happy days // 2
Apr 4, 2014
I finally have figured out how to upload my pictures to my MacBook!
It was as easy as saying hey iPhone, trust this computer. Voila.
This project has really made me pick out the simple things in my everyday. It has made me happy to realize all the little things that truly make me happy. I can see a pattern in some of my photos: Fifa, friends, food, and the shoe shots. But hey, it works for me.
I am on day 37, as of today and so far so good. I have seen a ton of people start this project and I hope I can be one of them to finish it. 63 days left to go. A lot can happen in two months.
You can find part one here.
