All the Feels...

Hello beautiful ones!! I want to start off by saying that I know I've been M.I.A. I'm really sorry about that! I'm going to warn you right now that this post is going to get a little sappy!  Recently my life has been a combination of running around trying to get things in order for my impending college graduation and then just generally being in a really weird place every time I think about said...
