First off, let's start with why we're difficult to date.. It takes A LOT for us to leave the house outside of work. Yes, we know it sounds crazy, but we love our job and we're compassionate about our work. However, sometimes we forget that we're supposed to have a life outside of work. That's what seems impossible for us.. We work a lot because we're single and it keeps us busy, so the minute someone walks into our life we have a hard time trying to adjust to that routine. It sounds so simple and small, but it's difficult for us to do. We literally have been single for so long that we become over the top independent. It's tough for us to rely on someone when we've been alone and living our own successful life. Don't let our tough ways fool you, we do want to love someone, care for someone, spend time with someone and build something! If you want to know a plus about us; it would be we're STABLE, we can make SACRIFICES and we put our EVERYTHING into things that mean the most to us. I understand we come with many layers like an onion, but once you peel this caliber of a person- you're the luckiest person on Earth.. Believe it or not.

Now, I'm going to get personal here about the work aspect of this. I personally wake up at 5:30-6:00 every day. I show up to work no later than 7 and work till 8-8:30 at night. Please look at the hours I spend at work and away from home or if I had someone in my life- look how much time I'm away from building with them. Majority of my friends that are married work 8-4. They get 4-5 more hours to spend time with their loved ones. Here's where I prove how we can sacrifice. We would gladly cut our hours back a wee-bit to be with you. Believe me, we come with many gears and we can go into tunnel vision to complete our tasks in time. 

We get it that we're difficult to date, hard to understand or live BORING compared to most. We love deeply, work hard every day to be the best we can be and try to be successful so that one day we don't ever have to worry if we're enough or can support a couple more mouths.

Sincerely,

The girl that's known for working too much.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
