Lake St. Clair Sunset

This weekend my boyfriend asked me if I wanted to go out on his boat, and I asked if we could stay out for sunset, he agreed. We headed out onto Lake St. Clair, with a goal of getting me in the water and feeling secure in a life jacket, dinner and of course the sunset (Hallmark worthy, right… I know). This wasn’t like one of our regular dates; this one meant a little bit more. You see I am dating a fish, and while I would love to be a mermaid that just isn’t the reality of it. I don’t know how to swim, and I wasn’t comfortable just hanging out in wavy water with a lifejacket on. You know what though, I did it. Sure it took me forever to get up the courage to walk down the ladder and finally let go having to put all my trust in my boyfriend. I got into water that was wavy, that’s right it wasn’t calm it was wavy and I still did it. When we got out of the water we headed to dinner. Up until doing it with my boyfriend, I had never taken a boat to dinner and it’s a lot of fun. There’s just something different about hopping in the boat heading to dinner and over looking the water while eating. Once we finished dinner we headed back out onto Lake St. Clair to catch the sunset, the sky was looking a tad bit pathetic, but then it changed and everything went orange. It was the perfect end to a perfect day.

Chasing Shooting Stars

This weekend was the Perseids Meteor Shower, I kept tagging my boyfriend in notes about it on Facebook saying we should go check them out. He’s currently working on his Masters (#Goals), and has been incredibly busy trying to get his final exam finished. However, with everything going on he made it a point for us to drive out of the city and into the country to see the shooting stars. Neither of us thought this whole going to chase shooting stars thing through, as we packed NOTHING that would make this trip easier. Even though we were winging it, the trip turned out to be amazing. We did it Sunday night and stayed out until about 11:30 since both of us would have to work in the morning. That night was more than I could ask for; we saw some perfect shooting stars, including ones that left a trail in the sky. It was so nice to experience that with him especially since around this time last year we were Chasing the Northern Lights together. I love that he is willing and even likes doing these things with me, I couldn’t ask for a more amazing guy in my life. I can’t wait for our next moonlight adventure; hopefully it’ll involve a bonfire on the beach.

Restaurant Review: Mexican Village

I never thought I would meet someone who loved Mexican food as much as me, but I definitely met my match. My boyfriend gets Mexican cravings, just like I do. He also knows of some really delicious Mexican spots. Actually, little fact… my boyfriend is AMAZING at finding us restaurants to try together. A few weeks back he was sick, and I was trying my best to take care of him, making sure he was eating, staying hydrated, taking it easy…etc. When he was feeling a little better we decided to get carry-out from Mexican Village. The portions are insane, both of us really should of just split a meal. I ended up getting the Fajitas, which were delicious I might add. While he decided on the Arizonian which came with 1 Beef Chimichanga, 1 Beef and Cheese Burrito, 1 Flour Beef Taco, 1 Beef and Cheese Enchilada as well as Rice and Beans. We both really enjoyed our meal and will definitely be going back.

Crazy Sexy Confident: Positive Affirmations

I recently launched a Crazy Sexy Confident challenge; if you missed it you can check it out here. For myself personally, I discovered that positive affirmation is incredibly important to me. However, if I wanted others to say positive things to me – I needed to start saying them to myself. You see, this is a huge struggle for me. I grew up being extremely overweight; when I went to college I dropped a ton of weight and have all the stretch marks and battle scars of my past visible all over my body. From elementary to high school I was bullied, and came home every single day (not even kidding) went in my bedroom and cried until eventually I would fall asleep. College changed all that, and no one has bullied me since I left high school behind… except for myself. That’s right, I am my own worst enemy and talk horribly about myself. You’re fat, ugly, stupid, not good enough, etc are all things I taunted myself with on a daily basis. This was something that was incredibly important for me to overcome if I ever wanted to have the relationship that I have always wanted. I started to work really hard on being positive and encouraging with myself. The difference it has made is incredible. I wanted to share with you some of the positive affirmations you will find on my mirror and desk, maybe this will help you become crazy sexy confident and start loving yourself the way you should. Let me know what you have on your mirror.

You’re beautiful.
You are what someone looks forward to.
I am not my mistakes.
You’re talented.
I believe in you.
Faith over fear.
You’re sweet.
I am strong.
I deserve love.
I am enough.
What I give is what I receive.
You’re are stronger than the girl that walks away.
