*So I have had a lot of inquiries lately about how my "unsocial year" is going.
It has been good. And hard. And surprising. And a little sad at times. I use my phone less yet I still find my fingers flying across the keys as I am in contact with all those I love, trying to stay up to date. So I now wonder if life has gained speed on and off the social media. Maybe it is just the way we all live now. Minute to minute. Update to update. It's been much easier to get busy and in a routine and forget about all those outside of my immediate world. I miss Facebook on the days I know the new posts about babies and engagements are being announced. I always feel a little bit like I am "missing out on something." I haven't felt a need for it though. Even throughout the sad moments, I try and think of the moments I have shared being intentional and personable with old and new friends. I have no regrets so far.
*As for updates on my life... Let's see. I went on a cruise with my nanny family back in Feburary. It was so much fun and I was once again reminded what great people I work for. 
St. Thomas of the Virgin Islands
San Juan, Puerto Rico
It was a rough week in the Carribean.
*So remember my post a while back about singlehood and how frustrated I was? Well when it rains, it mother flippin pours. Within 24 hours last week, I went from zero to four men from my past and present pursuing me for some level of relationship. What the French, Toast?!? It was overwhelming and I have laughed only once at the irony. I have cried way more. I eat my words. I think I'd much rather be frustrated in singleness than frustrated in multiple pursuals. In one week my life kind of took a drastic turn. Im laying here still trying to grasp what all happened. So naturally, I found this to be the best time to go get my tattoo I have been planning on for about a year now. 
*This is directly from one of my Grandmothers letters to me. She was having a hard day with her eyesight so she wrote, "Hello-Bye-Love, will write again tomorrow." It was perfect. I wanted to get it before she died and even told her about it but never got it done. Well yesterday was the day. It took 5 minutes and I only really flinched once so obviously that can lead you to believe tattoos are in fact, addicting. I'm satisfied with mine for now and don't have any others in mind for a while. I absolutely love it and I am so grateful to my artist for making it so exact that when I catch a look of it in the mirror I don't see words, I see my Grandmothers handwriting. Which means way more than the words.
*Also, I have a new little nugget of a niece. Meet Violet Ada. She was born when I was on my cruise but goodness, she had me wrapped up as soon as I received the first picture. Sweet girl. So excited to have another girl in the family. Her big sister Julia, is one of my favorites here in O. 
*There are very few 14 year olds this cool, you guys. I love her heart and can't wait for her to keep growing into the beautiful woman that she is.

*Spring is in the air and my nanny kiddos are growing like the weeds in the yard. This fall they will be 6,4,2. How is that possible???? I have made a stable commitment to them and am excited to know I'll be staying put for awhile.
* I am moving out of my brothers house next month. I will be rooming with two girlfriends of mine. It will be wonderful and I'm excited for the next chapter of my life. I do get sad when I think of how much I will miss these moments. The girls grow up in front of me when I live with them... It's going to be crazy seeing them from afar even after a week.
*Well that's been the last couple months... Looking back it's been a whirlwind of crazy good stuff. Life, people. It keeps going.
Cheers.
