Throwback Thursday

This post is definitely LONG overdue.

Over winter break, my family, boyfriend, and I traveled to the warm and sunny Florida! It was just what I needed -- a little getaway.

After my best semester of my college career (Dean's list, what upppp!), a vacation was the perfect reward. Not to mention that 80 degree weather is a good change from the current freezing, slushiness of  New Jersey.

Here are "some" of the highlights (so hard to choose):

playing around with my new camera ;]

my kind of life

Pat, Dad, & I snorkeling

couldn't be more at peace

I absolutely cannot wait to return to the Keys and Miami again! Florida in the winter is by far the best weather I have ever experienced. Too bad there isn't the perfect place in which every day is like that...

A girl can dream though, right?

Throwback Thursday

Man, have I been MIA!

My attempts at putting up short posts for the holidays only to blog later in more depth wound up being a complete fail. Between graduating, "moving back" to my parents for the holidays, and vacationing to Florida...I haven't found the time, or strength, to sit down and just write. Though I must say I have been craving it! Maybe I was just overwhelmed with all of the potential posts I haven't/want to post.

Nonetheless, I am back! Before I move forward onto everything I want to (and plan to) accomplish, let us throw it back to the holidays. I mean, who doesn't want it to still be holiday season? Especially since this Christmas and New Year had treated me pretty well!

So many good memories from 2012...but I cannot wait to see what this year has to offer.
Waiting for that cliche quote?

New year. New me!
