Hiya Blogmas Friends, it’s party time!

We’re home! What a lovely weekend it ended up being. Such a sad feeling when Monday finally rolls back around again, but at least we made some great memories to get us through another week. So, as promised, for today’s Blogmas Day 9, I thought I’d share some more snaps and thoughts about mine and Ethan’s trip up north to Charlevoix.

What’s up, my friends. It’s already December 7th? No way. I refuse to accept that the month is already a week over. It feels like Halloween was only a week ago. Anyone else feel me?

Good evening, friends. Welcome to Blogmas Day 6! Greetings to you from all the way up in Northern Michigan.

It’s already December 4th - my brain can’t process that fully. In addition to it being Blogmas Day 4, it’s also my Momma’s birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM). It was also dentist appointment day. Yay. 😒 So, both of those things meant that a 2.5-hour drive was in order. My dentist and my Mom are both on the other side of the state from me, so Ethan and I often find ourselves driving to and from at all hours of the day. It can be exhausting and daunting, but I don’t plan to replace either of them anytime soon, so I better get used to it, I guess.

A sense of belonging - one of mankind's most-basic and innate desires as people go through life. Being a part of something and having connections with other people gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling that you can't find anywhere else. Some people find it within their role at work, others seek it out within a church or political setting. It can be found in dozens of obvious places, but one place you might unexpectedly find your group is in the motoring world. Enthusiast groups exist across the whole spectrum of the automotive world - no matter what brand you drive, you'll probably find a group of like-minded driving fans to bond with.

I’ve lived 25 long years. I can’t believe it.
I’ve never been one to think on my birthday too much, but for some reason, this birthday has really got me taking a deeper look into my life. I can’t believe that I’ve lived a quarter of a century. I honestly feel old - I know everyone says that, but for me, I officially can say it’s true.

It took me 24 years of my life to go to Frankenmuth, Michigan.
No, that wasn’t a typo. For those who have never heard of it, Frankenmuth - pronounced exactly how it’s spelled - is a small Germanic village in the middle of Eastern Michigan.

In case it wasn’t already clear, I am not big into most holidays and anything holiday-spirit-esque.
We didn’t celebrate them when I was young and I just grew up with the mentality that Christmas and the like were more-or-less unnecessary expenses, wastes of time, and stress-causers.

I have always loved Detroit. Even throughout its rougher years, and despite the fact that I’ve always lived more than a few years away; Motor City has always had a special place in my heart.

Each day I discover more beauty to see in my new backyard. Ethan makes it his mission to show me what I’ve been missing on this side of the state for the last 25 years and he is doing an amazing job. After months of exploring, I definitely have a new-found love of my home state. Hopefully my photographs can inspire you to do the same in your home.

Being a Western Michigan girl, I never had too much of an opportunity to explore the Eastern side. Until I met Ethan, I had no idea how many gorgeous places I’d been missing over here. Recently, I was going through some of my photographs from 2018 and I noticed just how many gorgeous placed I’d gotten to see since last year.

It’s date night!
Every so often, Ethan and I head out on the town to unwind in the evening after a long day of work. We have plenty of favorite places, but when we’re feeling and famished and a little feisty, there’s only one place that’ll satisfy us: Sagebrush Cantina in Lake Orion.

Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. And the decorations are my absolute favorite part.
Date night a few weeks back brought Ethan and I to a small-town in Eastern Michigan which boasts a celebration of skeletons for the month of October, called The Skeletons Are Alive!

I love everything about Halloween - the mounds of sugary candy, the extravagant decorations, and the avant-garde costumes! It’s all just extra AF. I can barely contain my excitement for October 31st to roll around. I started decorating our apartment with haunted purple and orange trees and wreaths with lights and ghosts in early September!
