GIVEAWAY and the Patriots!

WOOO PATRIOTS ARE IN THE AFC CHAMPIONSHIP!!! and with that you may skip the rest if you want to get straight to the giveaway, but I would love for you to read :)

I am pumped!! 

I spent almost my entire weekend watching football, football, and more football! 

Game face and game gear! Ready to blow out the Colts! 

Plus the golden globes last night! I just can't get enough of Tina and Amy (we are on first name basis) and seriously Jennifer Lawrence! Love her, not a fan of her dress though. 

Which inspired me to wake up at 5:15 this morning for a work out...ugh. 

Anyway, one last little thing I wanted to share with you all is this awesome recipe I found for making homemade ice cream...out of snow!! Okay, make sure you stay away from the yellow stuff, and probably anything else you stepped in just to be safe...but I was shocked at how well this stuff turned out! Plus the nugget I hang out with on a daily basis (she told me she is to old for a babysitter and her mom hired me to "hang out" with her lol) loved it! 

Take 4 cups of snow
1 cup of milk
1/2 cup of sugar
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla

Seriously, try it! We had over 20 inches of snow the other day and I thought to myself, this could be depressing, or we could eat it ;)

Now for my last and final thing I am linking up with Ashley at Afternoon Espresso for and AWESOME giveaway ! ENTER, ENTER, ENTER check her and the other amazing ladies out! Love them :)

Genuine Fears

It's about to get REAL in here.

Normally I am all fun and games. I like this spot to be free and fun, nothing to heavy, nothing to serious.

Except, tonight I am REALLY struggling with something, that in reality isn't a huge deal. I am wondering if anyone else out there is struggling with this issue either...the fear of being alone. 

Okay, this kinda sounds dramatic, and to be honest, if I was reading this I would reassure myself that no, it probably won't happen. But then I sit here with the what if it does...

I like to think of all of the things I do have. Like an amazing family, awesome friends, a very fulfilling career. Yes, all of those things will keep my fulfilled in life, except I will always think that one piece is missing.

I am a hopeless romantic. I am not just going to settle for anyone. I am going to be head of heels in LOVE before I make serious commitment. Yet I genuinely get nervous that love like that isn't out there for me. 

Yes, it might be all of the recent weddings and engagements, or that fact that out of all my super close friends I am THE only single person. I guess I am just worried that I will miss out on that experience in life.

Sure, I have so many wonderful things that I listed above, but I WANT to experience a love like that. 

Now, I am not saying I am unhappy, because I am defiantly happy. I just think I could be happier...is that bad!? 

So at this point, people can tell me "Don't worry, you are only 23! You have so much time." I realize that, but it doesn't really ease the fear. So I will focus on what I do have, and wait patiently (like I have been) to see if and when that part of my life will happen! 

Sincerely,

Forever alone (haha okay I am done being dramatic now)
