Yesterday

Yesterday was two of my cousins graduation party (one from highschool and one with his associates). I had a pretty good time, didn't really have to talk to many people, just hung out and relaxed. Adam, Dustin and myself went and we brought Rocco along, who was amazing. I let him off the leash for a bit to run a round and he did not bother anyone. Rocco Rocks!

I liked seeing some of my family. Elise is my new fav, she has a son named Cruz and she seems to be a great mom, (My favorite thing about Elise is how much she loves her mom). The always effervescent Shalyn graced us with her presence. I love her cause she thinks I am the funniest person. It is nice to have someone appreciate you like that (or your sense of humor). Shalyn brought Christopher and Nick along, which is great! I really love those guys cause their hearts are so big, they are such great men and they are fun to have around! Shalyn is lucky to have men like that in her life everyday! It makes me thankful that Tyler has them around too, hopefully all the good that they are will rub off on him!

ps congrats on the new "job" Shalyn!

A "new" man

So today, July 23rd 2007, Adam got the word to "discontinue" the brace! Adam has made enough new bone (he has been known to be a good bone builder), that he does not have to wear the stupid, yet helpful, life saving brace, any more. It has been the longest (and fastest) 12 weeks of my life. I will take a picture of Adam without his brace on, soon and post it so everyone can see how sleek he looks.

My "birthday"

So today I am grateful for Heather, because with out her, we would not be having this wonderful "birthday" party today. As you all my know my birthday is on the 1st, but we are celebrating it today, for heather, who asked for today off! I personally love it, I get two parties. It works out really well cause it is almost exactly half way between my birthday and hers. So it was a blessing in disguise.

Today we celebrate friendship

pix of today will be posted soon

hhmmm so many thoughts

I have been using the last two days to think of all the things that I am grateful for during times of stress...


I am grateful for my past, the good the bad and the ugly. Think about it, if we didn't have the past we have, where would we be. I don't think that many people could say they aren't at least ok with the experiences they have had. Me, I am happy about my past (most of you know that it was not rose pedals and angel wings), because I am soooo strong now, and I am very grateful for that. I like knowing that new lessons are waiting to be learned from all of my experiences, new adventures are waiting for me because I am ready for them. I am excited about all the greatness that I am receiving, and will continue to receive for ever!

I am most grateful today for Rocco, for he is our doggie. Pets rocks cause they give unconditional love and devotion. I am thankful that everyday he is happy to see me, even when it doesn't feel like anyone else is. And when I am not nice, he still gives me kisses and lets me pet him. (he is very generous like that)

fun day

Well we just saw Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix, and it was great! (not as good as the book of course!) The best part was just getting to hang out with friends.

I am so thankful to have wonderful people in my life!

Thank you for being friends Adam and Heather, my friends for life! (Charles and Kristin too, its just a new friendship)

all good things

I just wanted to start writing down some thoughts on a regular basis. They are mostly for me, but if someone learns something from them, that would make me happy. I only plan on having positive things on here, no bad stories, I will post things that are wonderful about the people in my life and about life it self. If you know me well then you know that I am on the path to happiness. I know I sound like a "hippie", and that is cool with me.

So lots of love,

p.s. I am very grateful today for Adam, and all of his strength!
