the last few months according to my instagram...

as i said before, a lot happened over the past couple of months while i was mia. i figured it would be far too difficult to WRITE a post detailing some of my favorite moments during that time, so here are some pictures to SHOW you guys instead :)

back in june i turned 21. hector truly went all out and basically turned my birthday into an entire MONTH. needless to say, it was amazing.

in july i landed my dream job working as a stylist at free people and we rang in hectors 21st by getting him drunk for his very first time! >.<

at the end of september, hector and i spent the day at disneyland for our one year anniversary. we each got annual passes since we are just a leeeetle obsessed.

i took an incredible trip to mammoth with my geography class at the beginning of october. it was my first time up in the mountains and i couldn't believe how beautiful it was there.

the rest of october was amazing. my best friend flew in from texas to visit before she left to move to africa and, of course, we went to disneyland while she was here. i celebrated halloween with my coworkers, but got olivia in the spirit with her hot pink wig beforehand :)

in november, hector, olivia, and i celebrated our second thanksgiving together. i could not be more grateful to have those two in my life and to get to see them every single day. as you can see, i also drastically changed my hair to a fire engine red on a whim ^^

december is my favorite month because i love the holidays so so much. during december hector and i had lots of cozy movie nights and LOTS of seasonal food and sweets :) olivia and i even had matching christmas morning onsies.

in january, i rang in the new year with a group of my best friends from high school. even since the first of the year so much has changed. i made my first ever real resolution and have kept it so far. i am taking stats and pre calc and am somehow making my way through while working two jobs. ive started my ebay store back up, have gotten a head start on spring cleaning, and am planning more projects for the upcoming months. sometimes while youre in the midst of it all, things seem insane and sometimes miserable when life is too hectic, but in looking back on these past couple of months all i feel is joy and excitement for whats to come. we all just have to remember to take the time and think about were grateful for on a regular basis because there is SO much :))

what are YOU grateful for?? let me know!
