A look back on 2020
This year has been a spectacle to say the least! Most people would just like the year to end and to never look back! Which is completely understandable for most cases, but for me it is not. I have absolutely loved the year 2020! I have had a couple rough patches, but the GOOD out weighs the BAD by a long shot!
THE BAD:
I survived a Minor Bowl Obstruction at the end of January! This was one of the worst pains I have ever felt in my entire life! I was nauseous, completely out of it, fatigued, I felt like I was being stabbed repeatedly in the gut in-between each Upchuck episode! This was definitely a horrible way to start off the year 2020!
Having this experience made me realize that I have not been taking care of my body. This obstacles caused me to make a change. I have since started working out, running, eating better, and taking medicine to help prevent another hospital stay! I would have preferred not to have had to gone through what I went through, but it was needed for the end result.
But 2020 did not stop there because just a few months later Coronavirus hit the WORLD and took a big chunk of life and happiness from the population! I tried to ignore the Pandemic at first and just pretend that it wasn’t happening…. I got a wopping slap in the face with reality come April!
The big 21 was headed my way! COVID-19 did not care! I spent my 21st Birthday in Quarantine! It definitely screwed my plans for my Weekend trip to Savannah with my girls. I wanted to party and spend quality crazy time with people I love. Instead I went to work and came home.
I dkn’t want you to think that it was all bad because trust me it really wasn't at all! I thought I was going to hate my life because all of my plans had changed! But my work family bought me a cake and decorated my Work area! I was spoiled from 9-12 and then went home to lunch, cake, alcohol, and a Fiance (now HUSBAND) who loves me so! Later that night my close family came over even though it was pretty much illegal at the time. Once I let go of the BIRTHDAY Expectation I was okay… I was happy!
The Transmission in my CAR went out… 11 DAYS before my WEDDING! I freaked out! My car had been jolting for a few weeks and the day before my car stalled at a red light and I almost died! I took it in Saturday morning to be told that my entire transmission was shot and that the car was not even worth the cost of a new transmission! I only had $1300 left to pay off my car and I was getting married in a week! In the end we junked the car, my first car…the car a lost my virginity in… and bought a new one!
In the end it was the best decision possible, it just came a little earlier than I expected it to. I had to use a good junk of my Saving as the down payment, but I could not have asked for a better car and even though the timing might have seemed odd, I believe everything happens for a reason!
THE GOOD:
First off there are way too many good things that happened to me this year… so just like with the BAD things, I am only going to name the highlights and most important to me!
I worked on my BLOG continuously and tried not to let my fear get in the way of something I love doing! I posted almost every week with new and different content, even stepping out of my comfort zone and trying things that I never thought I would. I am so passionate about typing and writing and getting my feelings and thoughts and some of my views out there! I am an over sharer for sure, but that is how I live my life and express myself.
So here’s to the year that helped me come out of my shell, continuously follow my passions, and not letting myself give up!
I had two amazing Bridal Showers! One thrown by my sister and the other given by my work family! Both days were perfect in every way possible. We ate good food, laughed, and just spent time together just us gals! Both parties were more than I could have ever asked for. They fit me to the T. My personality and everything that I love!
Here’s to celebrating with the best ladies in the world for one of the most important times in my life!
I had the most incredible BACHELORETTE WEEKEND with my closest girlfriends! My sister through the first night at my house with everything that I asked for and more! I got my dream BACH! We played games, danced, laughed, ate suggestive titled food, and had the night of our Lives! Night #2 got crazy! It was a whirlwind of fun and new experience that I eill.never forget! I was given my first lapdance by a dear hilarious gal friend and tried some delicious drinks that I did not hate at all!
Here's to parting hard with girlfriends and having the best BACHELORETTE Weekend possible!
I GOT MARRIED! The best day of my life to date is my WEDDING DAY! On October 15th 2020 I married the love of my life and my heart could not have been fuller. I did not stress, other than one time in the morning, all day. I let go of my reigns and put everything in God's, friends, and Families hands! I smiled until my face hurt, I danced all night, and celebrated with the people who mean the most to me!
Here's to marrying the man I have waited for my whole life and to two and a half months strong!
We BOUGHT a HOUSE! We purchased our first home! All of the Saving and looking and waiting has payed off with a big and beautiful house that I am so excited to make into a home with my new HUSBAND! We are currently still in boxes, but I have been working hard to get unpacked and organized!
Here’s to Buying and making a home with my Forever Love!
We had an amazing HONEYMOON! It definitely was not what we had planned at first, but it all worked out! Tennessee welcomed us with open arms with its beautiful mountain views, exciting attractions, and Romantic getaways! Our Honeymoon definitely was supposed to look completely different than what we ended up doing, but I think it went even better than either one of us expected! We were able.to spend quality time together to just relax and enjoy US finally being Married and over all of the Wedding Planning Stress! I could not have asked for a better week with the love of my life!
Here's to Honeymoonen with the bestest!
This year has had its ups and downs! I have bought a new car, gotten married, and bought a house all in one year… all in the year 2020… with all of the obstacles the world is going through… despite CORONAVIRUS… we did all of this! I am so proud and feel extremely accomplished for the things that I/we have done this year, it is definitely surprising and some things were not expected, but we did it! I give all thanks to GOD above and family and friends for helping me/us get to where I/we are today!
My heart goes out to the ones who have lost someone or had a tragedy happen to them this year. 2020 had not been easily or without trials. I do not believe in regrets, this year and what happened in it happened for a greater purpose… even if we do not see it yet.
Here is one last CHEERS to the year 2020 and everything that it brought us… GOOD and BAD! Happy New Year everyone!
