    Friends {a poem}

    October 8, 2009 - By 

    Writing Assignment: 2.) Find your one very favorite picture of Summer and write a poem about it. (inspired by Mama’s Losin It) This is one of my favorite pictures from summer. Usually my fav pics do not include me, but I do love this one because of my great friend in it. Friends are something we often take for granted. Friends are people who are there no matter how bad life gets. They’re there to root you on when the going is good. They are not jealous of your accomplishments. They support you no matter what. They don’t turn their…

    Randomness of today…

    September 22, 2009 - By 

    — This evening around 7:40 I was able to get away and go to the grocery store! Pretty sad, when I’m excited about going to Wal-Mart. Nothing out of the ordinary, just a normal trip for groceries. I went through the self-check out, as I always do. I rang up my 50 items or so and paid. Then, as I got ready to pull my buggy away, I realized I didn’t ring up the items in the top part of the cart. Since there was a line waiting behind me, I wasn’t able to just ring up the items. I…

    Ramblings of My Life

    August 5, 2009 - By 

    You know, I haven’t actually written here in a while. Yah, I’ve posted stuff; menus, pictures, other random superficial posts. I haven’t talked about what’s been going on with me. I’m not sure you wanna hear it, but at this point, I have to remember this blog was started for me and for my family who are far away. I’ve spent the last few weeks, well really all summer, but especially the last few weeks, trying to find a teaching job. With no luck! I’ve only had 4 or 5 interviews. Teaching jobs in this is state are very hard…

    Dancing Daze

    May 9, 2009 - By 

    I was reading Rae Ann’s blog yesterday and she had a post about her daughter in dance costumes. Seeing those, just took me back. In fact, it did so much that I decided to pull out the old photo albums and scan pictures. I started dancing at age 3 or 4. I went to Tracy Dee’s Dance Studio and loved it. My Dad was a freelance photographer at the time, so he took the pics for the studio and as you’ll see he took pics at our recitals. This is just an assortment of pictures I have. For some reason,…

    Marriage

    May 3, 2008 - By 

    Ok, so many of you probably know that life has been rocky for me and well, the commitment that I made almost 11 years ago nearly came crumbling down in front of me. So much of it was my fault and mainly because I was not able to communicate and express what was bothering me. I guess like the counselor I saw said, I am the “textbook unhappy wife”. I won’t get into any details, but I’ve learned a lot in the last nearly 8 months or so. I learned that holding things in doesn’t help anyone, doesn’t do anyone…

    This picture was from last week I think. I love playing around with Photo Booth. I thought I’d post this to show my new hair from back in late October. Although, its already grown out quite a bit. I’m probably getting it cut again this week. I’ll post a new pic afterwards.

    I don’t have much of an update. I think all my readers have vanished so I haven’t been too concerned about updating. My life is still an upside down mess, but will hopefully be getting back on track soon. Sorry I can’t go into details, but it’s pretty personal. Thanks for understanding.

    Thanks for all the prayers. Keep them coming please. Things are still not good with me and won’t be until there’s a resolution. If you’d like to read about what’s going on, all those entries will be password protected. I have to be careful who reads it, so if you’d like the password just let me know and I’ll share. I’m just being cautious. On a happier note, we’re picking up the U-Haul tomorrow and are going to fill it with the first load. We’ll go over Saturday morning for the walk through and then, hopefully we’ll have the truck…
