I'm BACK & better than EVER! At least I'd like to believe so... ;)

Wow...so it's been an entire year since I have posted a blog post! I had originally tried to post this vlog (but was having some minor issues with Blogger) on the 15th--which was the actual date of my one year anniversary of my last post. That wasn't even planned. Pretty cool, huh? If you want to know what got me thinking about blogging again, just watch the video. It pretty much explains everything. I don't typically do vlogs; I just figured this was the easiest way to get the message out to you all in the blogosphere.

Let me go ahead and tell you some things I'm majorly excited about. So many of my favorite, closest blogging friends are still around. Like Kel over at Stories of Kel, Lauren of Fashion, Love & Lauren...hmm, who else? Lacey of sunny + turquoise (which is awesome, because I remember giving her tips on how to start growing her blog and now look at how far she has come!), Mikell of Love & Such, Whitney of The Middle of the Street blog (how I cannot WAIT to catch up with you, my silly friend), Katie (not quite sure why your blog is not working...did you take it down?), and so many more of the blogs that I have continued to visit over the past year, while I guess you can say I was on a major hiatus. No, I did not think I'd ever come back to blogging. What has been the biggest change for me? Well, if you watch the video below you will see that I have lost 40+ pounds in the past year. All in a healthy way, and I'm so proud of myself. I'm also much happier; my life is getting back on track and I suppose that is one of the main reasons I felt like I needed to get back to blogging. I don't want to give too much away, because I want to save most of it for my upcoming blog posts. So...go ahead and watch the video. COMMENT! I'd love to hear from you all. It would just absolutely make my whole entire week, maybe even month. ;)











Oh, and okay...here are some pictures just to give y'all a little preview of my life lately. Just a few...because I have to save some for upcoming posts! Ahhhh--excitement! I have no idea where to even begin. The beginning, I suppose. Hehe.

SIGH! What a tease! Is there something wrong with Blogger? It won't allow me to upload any pictures. Please don't make things complicated, Blogger, just as I am trying to make a comeback here. Sorry, ladies & gents! Let me know if you know what the problem is.

PS. Would anyone be willing to do a blog design for me for free or very cheap just so I can get rid of that CRAPPY picture of me in the "About Me" spot that looks nothing like me anymore? I'd greatly appreciate it. Leave a comment, or shoot me an email. I guess I also need to get to updating my sponsor buttons, about me page, and ALL that stuff. This might be more work than I originally thought. Daaaaang. Well, I've missed y'all!

xoxo,
