An A&W Recipe//Welcoming a New Year

Haha, this is not actually a recipe to make A&W rootbeer. My first name starts with an A and my boyfriend's name starts with a W so we always call ourselves A&W.

I really wanted to write a post to tell you a little bit about another part of me.

I don't post about my love life because that's one thing I like to keep personal but as the new year approaches, I wanted to share something about me that you may not know.

We have been together for over 8 years now. I met W when I was in high school and fell for him when I still had another boyfriend. Talk about a highschool scandal, haha just kidding.

We have had plenty of our highs of highs and lows of lows. I often tell people that if you name it, we have been through it. Because we met so young, we have been through many transformation periods that took a toll on our relationship. But now that we went through college, turning 21, gaining more freedom, etc... I often look at the times we grew apart as blessings in disguises to help us grow together.

He has truly become such a good friend of mine. I am so thankful for him!

This week, he surprised me with a trip to visit some friends in DC. He had many surprised up his sleeves and was always mindful on what I wanted to do. 

It truly showed me how thoughtful he is towards what I love and I am thankful to see how in the past year how we have grown together. We have gone through many transformations this year but I look back realizing how they all had and have a reason.

I am so blessed to not only have someone I can spend the cold nights with, but also someone I can call my best friend. 

I love you!

Our A&W Recipe?

Putting God first. I see how when we both put our focus on honoring Him first, our concerns in our relationship smooth out and work out.

I am thankful for you honey & I am excited to bring in the New Year with you!

Tonight, we are going on a boat ride where we will have dinner and welcome the new year with fireworks. Cant wait!

I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year with people you love as well :)

What are your plans?
