Happy Birthday Mom!!


Today is my mom’s birthday, won’t say how old because she’ll probably get mad. Ha!


She seriously is the best mom I could ever have asked for. She gives me love and support no matter how much of a brat I am, which I was a big one sometimes. She pushes me to be the best me that I could possibly dream of being, encourages me to follow my heart no matter what, and picks up the pieces when I didn’t even know where to start. She taught me to see the joy in everything and the good in everyone, to get excited about even the smallest of holidays, and just go with the flow. Not to mention she makes the best pierogis outside of Poland!




Thank you, Mommy, for always being there for me. When people who have known us for years tell me I am just like you I take it as the biggest compliment. I honestly hope that one day I am as great of a mom to my kids as you have been to me.

I'm getting there


Hello everyone! I’ve debated making this blog for a while, and after the past few weeks I think I’ve finally decided what the hell, I should do it. I don’t know if anyone besides my mom will read it, but who cares lets give it a shot.

I guess the biggest thing going on in my life right now is getting over this break up. Its funny how that works. I don’t know what happened to cause his feelings to change and I don’t think I ever will, which is hard, but I didn’t change myself and I have to respect that Nick needs to be happy also. That’s all I ever wanted for him. I’m not going to be mad because he did nothing but be honest with me, and that’s all I ever wanted. Do I necessarily agree with it? No, but that’s life. Dwelling on it will get me nowhere.

So now what?

I feel like this is the weirdest process. One day I’ll be completely okay with being alone and the next day everything reminds me of Nick and I cant stop crying. I think that’s part of healing. Which, I guess, is what I’m doing, and as long as I continue to have more good days than bad I think I'm doing okay. I think the worst part about it is I want my best friend back more than anything. But we’ll get there. We both truly loved each other, and I don’t think that will ever go away. Sometimes love just changes.

Meanwhile, I’ve discovered and gotten a new appreciation for the people in my life. I have been showered with more love and support than I thought was possible from friends and family. For that I am truly thankful.

While this transition period is scary, I know that it’s just a new plan. I don’t know what is going to happen next but I’ll figure it out. After all isn’t that what college is all about? My plan is just going to be a little different now.  I’m getting there.
