I ended the season in last place. Convincingly in last place. 3-11. I won three damn games all season. Now I know that a lot of these things I couldn't control. But that doesn't really help me feel any better. I am damn competitive and to lose that many games made me want to scream.
I know I have talked about how Doug and I met. Playing beer pong and me absolutely getting furious at him because we were on opposite teams and he was talking serious shit.
Which made me not like him so much to begin with. It took us a few years to realize that competing against each other was a really poor relationship choice.
A few years ago, some friends and I dressed up as Legends of the Hidden Temple for Halloween. Our costumes were awesome. I still rock my Blue Barracuda shirt on occasion.
Throughout the evening, we had a friend of ours come up with games for us to play, for our teams to compete against each other. Which was all fun and games until Dustin (the male team member for the green monkeys) and I were legit screaming at each other over the rules of the game. I finally called the games off because I wanted to have a fun night.
This is also the same individual who I have had multiple heated discussions with over the intricate rules of beer pong or drinking baseball or boom or kings...or hell, really every drinking game.
I'm normally able to hide my crazy competitive side, but she definitely sneaks out on occasion. Normally with the booze.

But in all honesty, this post about beauty and how it’s not all what’s on the outside- that it’s more so your personality and humor and amazing heart, is just beautiful and heartfelt. What about this one about how you are enough? A Target wardrobe, a messy bedroom, hating to cook dinner- these things don’t matter because you are enough. Ashten has a way with words that always makes me smile or laugh or nod my head in agreement- normally all three.
Plus she is basically Mark Walhberg’s wife; though if that doesn’t work she has a pretty legit future with Andrew Keegan or Leo. She at least has a few prospects for future wedding dates! Ashten also has one of the best linkups around- Vlogging Like a Boss! I have loved getting to know so many bloggers through their vlogs- and Ashten is the one who has motivated us all to do it. Seriously though- when I first decided to do one and was feeling nervous about it, she video chatted with me for like 2 hours until I felt comfortable with it.
And I just can’t have a spotlight on Ashten without mentioning Happy Hour Hangout- which is an awesome opportunity her and Amber offer through their sponsorships, where you get to do a Google Hangout with a bunch of other bloggers and talk blogging and drink wine. I met some fantastic ladies through the first Hangout, and I highly suggest you all participate!
Also GO BUCKEYES! I just have to throw that in because it will make her mad and she is likely even more competitive than I am.
