Talk about Neglect!

I feel so bad neglecting this baby I started way back in March. Work became constant and the Shawna who use to have all the time in the world to write in a blog, would be in bed by 10 pm to get up at 6:30 am for work every morning! Wow, I never thought this day would come!


Anyways, let's see...what has happened exactly since the last post? Well my amazing boyfriend Philip went back home to Sweden which was incredibly hard the first couple days. He left on Wednesday as I took him to the airport where him and his other Swedish friend Jonathan decided to guess on which airlines it was. Luckily we had gotten there fairly early enough to where they wouldn't be late for their flight (which later on got delayed). On that Wednesday, they flew to New York for a couple days and then flew back to Sweden that coming Saturday. It's weird testing out this long distance relationship but I know in my heart that it's totally worth it for this guy.

Yes....I know it's super cheesy and you all may be thinking "Is this girl serious?," "She has no idea what she's talking about..." I know. But when you know, you know.


Since it is a 9 hour difference, our schedules, you'd think would contradict with each other, but it actually works out great. When I get up in the morning for work, he is getting off of work. When he's going to bed, I am getting off work. When he wakes up for work, it's about 8 o'clock here so I'm probably hanging around the house. It works PERFECTLY. We skype 2 or 3 times a day and started up a private blog to where we can write to each other when we can't video chat.

It has just become a week now since I've seen him physically and it's getting easier by the day. We have both already started planning when we plan on visiting each other, but I'm really in high hopes that he surprises me for my birthday here in the states in August!

Enough about my long distance relationship...all this talk and time spent on this left me NO time to go or even think about shopping! The last time I went to a mall or online shopped...I can't even remember the last time!

As much as a devastation this is, it also amazes me how much money I really am saving from not dropping the dollar bills every day on clothes and shoes and my all time favorite, accessories!

I don't know what is is, but I really feel like I am growing up. I don't know if it's because I'm in love, work all the time, or if I really AM growing up, but I feel like a new me. I no longer have the need to go out to bars and clubs, no longer love being single, no longer scared of commitment. This past year has been insanely busy and insanely amazing, and the year has just halfway begun!

Until next time, :) <3
