There is NO way this just happened...it means I'm OLD!

Ok, so I just read my sisters blog. And since, been talking to my sister about this. Grant, my 10 year nephew, got a girls number on Saturday. 10 years old. Starting younger and younger. Scary. But the thing that gets me is, Grant is getting to that age. This means, I'm getting old. OLD! I was a freshman in college when he was born. Oh how the time flies. I remember the day he was born, I remember the day he took his first steps, I remember the day he spoke his first words, the day he started school. This isn't happening. My baby can't grow up. He just can't. Cause that means, I have to grow up myself and I'm not ready for that. Why can't they stay young, be cute and adoring? Oh well. I guess in 2 more years when I hit my BIG 30, he'll be 12 going on 13. Hitting those pre-teen years and getting more numbers. Guess I better brace myself!

Cause it's ALL about ME!

Okay...so here is a lil info about me...

There is so much about me but then there is so little about me. I am just your plain everyday small town country girl who now lives in the city. I too have hopes and dreams, but have had many obstacles come in the way of those hopes and dreams. I have been down many roads in this journey of mine and it has lead me to where I am now. One day it will be clear to me why I was chosen to come this way. The littlest things in life can excite me along with the big things. I LOVE Peanut Butter M&M's, the mountains, the outdoors, Autumn, to dance, Tater Tot Casserole, Mi Cocina, very HOT salsa, Dr Pepper, candles, reading a book, butterflies, Faith - she is my life, a drive out in the country, and most importantly my friends and my family. I am very independent (been my whole life). Life is short to take seriously, so I have fun when I can. I am still a big kid at heart, I am goofy in my own way and I love when I can make others laugh by my own craziness. I love life and everything it can offer.

Snow Snow and MORE Snow

Wow! I'm stuck up in Rawlins, WY for work. I was supposed to be heading south to Denver for the rest of the week and now all roads leading out of town are closed down for God only knows how long. HAHAHAHA! I'm loving this. Camping up in the hotel, pizza being delivered, ordering me some pay-per-view (not porn crazy people) ;-) and just chilling. I know some of the people I traveled with are stressing about the weather, but what's the point? I'm not God. I can't change the outcome. What is happening outside is happening. Can't change, so I'm going to make the best of it. Hey how often on a work day does one get to be lazy, order pizza and order pay-per-view? But I do have a confession. Just talked to Rick. I do wish I was in Texas with the 70 degree weather!

Living life can go both ways...

Okay so my older sister got me into this blogging thing outside of myspace. She made me think since my other blog has been somewhat a negative blog on life, that I'm going to start fresh and positive. Why not? Sure life happens. Positive and negative. It's just how you take it in and live it. And honestly lately, its been in the negative way. And I don't like it. But honestly I can say in this past year of my 28year, I'm finally happy with the way life is laying out for me. It took 11 months to get to where I am now. Sure the year 28 will not be a good year for me to look back upon and have happy memories, but it sure made me a stronger person. It made me realize that life isn't handed out on a silver/gold plate. Shit does happen. I always thought I was immune to bad things happening. But I learned my lesson and I learned many people have been through what I've been through and made it through, so why couldn't I too? Also I realized that MANY people had it way worse than what I got handed out this 28th year. So what am I trying to say? Life can go both ways. Just take it one day at a time, either it be negative or positive and let life happen. Don't fight it. Live it. Look at everything little thing that has happened to you and realize that it happened for a reason. I truly believe this now. If not what happened to me, I wouldn't be where I am now in life, I wouldn't have a great friend and I wouldn't be moving to my love of the mountains this coming summer. So just live!
