Daily Update!

Daily Update!

Well, it has been a very busy day!!! My sister-in-law, nephew, and niece all spent the night last  – it was like a great big slumber party!!! Thank you, sis, I really needed that!!! 🙂 After taking them home this morning, I got to work 

Update!

Update!

I have such a big week coming my way – I just pray that I am able to make it through all that I have to do this week!!! Life has been pretty crazy, but whose isn’t, right? It is midnight right now – much 

Tonight…

Tonight…

Sometimes I feel there is a hole inside me… An emptiness that, at times, seems to burn. I think if you lifted my heart to your ear, you could probably hear the ocean. And the moon tonight: there’s a circle around it — a sign of trouble not far behind. I have this dream of being whole… Of not going to sleep each night wanting, but still sometimes, when the wind is warm or the crickets sing, I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for. I just want someone to love me. I want to be seen. I don’t know… Maybe I’ve had my happiness. I don’t want to believe it, but there is no man… Only that moon.”

40 Things

1. Where is your cell phone? sitting on my nightstand, charging 2. Your significant other? Jason, out looking for himself 3. Your hair? curly, unruly and in desperate need of a good trim 4. Your mother? my biggest fan, my teacher, my best friend 5. 

A New Chapter…

A New Chapter…

A very profound event is getting ready to change my entire life, and sometimes no matter how much planning, goal-setting, mind mapping, or visualizing that you do, there are just some things that you can not control in your life – you can only control 

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year!!!

Yes, I realize that it is actually the 10th of the New Year, but I had accidentally “broken” my blog before Christmas, and have just managed to get it back up and running!!! YEAH!!! 🙂

Anyway, this has been a pretty busy couple of weeks!!! I had two large certification tests that I had to take for work, and I passed them both – CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT??? I was pleasantly surprised to get that result back! Whew!!!

I had a very nice Christmas with my family in Roseburg, and a fun New Year with my family in Salem!! I am waiting for life to get back to normal, but life really hasn’t been NORMAL for the last 3 years, since we’ve moved into the condo. If the good Lord is willing, I want to sell the condo and at least get into an inexpensive apartment so we can seriously save for an actual home!! We need a home, someplace that we can lay down some roots and start some of our own traditions. I think then and only then can things get back to “normal” – whatever that is!!!

Ok, so I am going to get ready for bed now, but I just want to be able to say thank you to my Sweetie!!! He helped me do some SERIOUS cleaning this weekend, and he wired the downstairs for music!! Oh, how our lives have missed music!!! AND I am sooo excited because music in our house leads to dancing!!! I LOVE DANCING WITH MY SWEETIE!!!

So, anyway!! I am off to bed! I look forward to hearing from you soon! (My comments should now work again!!!)

Good night!
