New Baby in the Fam!

My cousin Racheal and I had a couple days off work so we got in the car and went and saw my uncle and his family. They just had a new baby. It was fun to see them again and see the baby. His name is Walker and their other little boy is named Johnathan... here are some pics.

Almost Lover

This is one of my favorite songs. It is called Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy. I absolutely love it. Sometimes I feel like I have had too many "almost" lovers so this song hits home to me.

It will take a minute to load and you will have to listen to an advertisement... sorry!

Random Thoughts

My life has been working out more and more. I love it when I feel like I am in the right place and doing the right thing. Recently I had to change my mind and plans about something that didn't just affect me but affected a friend as well. However, I am glad that I had this experience to help me grow and learn more about myself. I have been working a lot lately and I love that head work really does pay off in the long run. I love being busy and having something to do. When I have a day off I feel weird and feel a little lost. But my days off are nice because then I can get personal work done. I love feeling like I have accomplished something, it is the most amazing feeling that I have ever felt. So here's to accomplishment!

A Valid Point

Okay, so that last blog was a little over the top. However, I do have a valid point. Women need to be able to stand on their own two feet. If anything were to happen to their boyfriend/husband or if they never have the option to marry then what? Independence and knowledge are key ingredients to the modern life. Do I believe in true love? Yes, true love is something that is nourished and grows. It is the reason people live and breath. I also believe that true love doesn't just come once in a lifetime or that there is a certain "one" for each of us. I believe that we each have many chances for true love to develop but it is the circumstances under which we are that dictate that true love's potential. Choice is a key player in life and often the choices of others affect our circumstance, which in turn affect love. Am I saying that love is conditional? No, I am saying that the potential for true love is conditional. Life is a game board and we are the pawns. On the game board of life, real life, sometimes we share the same square/space with someone else, sometimes we move backwards, sometimes we move forward and sometimes we lose a turn but in this game we are all winners.

NEWS FLASH!

Anyone who thinks that long distant relationships will work are totally wrong. Anyone who thinks that guys are worth getting all mixed up about are wrong. Why waste our time, ladies? Lets be all we can be. Lets prove to these men that we are worth something without them. Men would be nothing with out us. Men wouldn't even exist without a mother to bring them into the world. There is only one thing that men are good for and that is taking out the trash. Everything else we can do ourselves, have machines for and we even have B.o.b. Why don't women rule the country... because we let the men think that they are important. We have better things to do. So lets focus on ourselves and not worry about men or love or any thing else the old people tell us that we should be worrying about and LIVE OUR LIFES!

T Day

While listening to the radio this morning, I heard a brief bit from a comedian regarding Thanksgiving. Saying something to the effect of 'what made us decide to celebrate by eating large amounts of food.' How untraditional is that? Isn't that what Americans do best - eat? And not only that but by eating large amounts of food while in the company of people that annoy us (family.) It made me laugh so I just thought that I would share. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

To Choose or Not to Choose

We live in a world so full of opportunities that we don't know what is often the best choice for ourselves. Sometimes we are asked to choose between something we believe to be good and something that we believe to be evil. However, most often we find ourselves having to make a choice between two things that we believe to be good. Edgar A. Guest once said "You are the person who has to decide. Whether you'll do it or toss it aside; you are the person who makes up your mind. Whether you'll lead or will linger behind. Whether you'll try for the goal that's afar. Or just be contented to stay where you are." Choices are the basis and reason for life, they create paths in our destiny and change our eternal perspective. We must choose to move or to stay.
