SO guess i'm not much on keeping an updated blog. However, my site title fits me to a tee! I've been very busy. My dad and I have started redoing my bedroom. So far so good! It's a beach theme and looking great, but progress is moving slow.
I had my 23rd birthday back in May. I always take a look back and ponder on the past year. This year was no exception. One year ago today, I was getting ready for something that isn't so unheard of to many people, especially my age, but to me it was. I was going for 5 days and 4 nights to Destin, FL with my best guy friend,DG. I had decided to start living a life that I would be proud of and ok with in later years. This involved me "removing my stick". I have to say I think I did a pretty good job at removing my stick.
My birthday last year was my "golden year". I was 22 on the 22nd of May. Everyone said that year should be one of my best. It was. Never in my life had I been on a boat, out at the lake, took a vacation without my family or church family, thought about love , had a heartbreak, or had such a desire to know my Savior even more. Also, I almost went to Jamaica and got a passport in no time. Thanks to Hurricane Dean, I didn't get to and I missed an old friend's wedding. I learned so much last year. I learned what I didn't want to do with my life. I didn't want to be in a dead end job and at a place where I felt like I wasn't doing what I could and how it should be done. So I left. It was very hard finanically, spiritually, and emotionally. I watched some friendships fade away and some grow to more than I ever could imagine. I sat back and have watched friends do things and turn out like they never said they would;this equals heartbreak for their behalf. I finally figured out that I needed to stand up for myself because no one else should. I too, have figured out that girls are just as complicated as guys. But now, I have decided to make a list of things I have never done but would love too one day if time permits .....
