I guess it's time to update.

Today is my sister Delinda's birthday. Happy Birthday to her. I would like to take this opportunity to pay her a little tribute. She is one of my hero's and I think she deserves to know how much I love her and admire her. She has been the best roommate I've ever had these last two years. She has supported me and loved me through the hard times and has made me laugh frequently. I don't know what I would've done with out her being here in this far away place- I don't know that I would've made it. She has been such an example of perserverance and hard work and has never given up even when it was so hard she didn't think she could go on. She is intelligent, funny, BEAUTIFUL and one of my best friends. I love her! And I think that everyone in the world should too!

I also wanted to add some other random photos of some fun stuff. Nothing spectacular other than the wonderful and lovely people I am constantly surrounded by. I love my friends. I'm such a lucky girl.

So other than having a ginormous headache today- I had a good day. I woke up earlier than I usualy do on Saturday and went and worked out with Ashley and Andrea. It was a HARD workout, and it's been a while since I've done something like that. But it was good. Much needed. And it finally hit me that I really want to get in control of my body again. Sometimes you have to just have that moment when you realize you're ready to change something in your life. And it's the ONE moment that you know you can. Even if you've been wanting to for so long before. So I'm going to do it. It might take some time... but I will.
To top it off, I got to spend the rest of the day with my boy- and he always makes me the happiest chick in the world.

"The Big Chicken"

Did I tell you I finally got to see the big chicken of which I had only heard about up until a couple weeks ago? It's a freaking miracle... that's really all I can say about it. A landmark it is...

Check this out. It's dang funny- and if you hear me ever say "WHATEVA" this is where I get it from. It's also to make you laugh now that you've read my depressing and crazy comments before this one!

I had a grown up moment

Tuesday night was weird for me. My friend Jennifer's father died earlier during the weekend and so I decided to show support by going to the viewing. I met another friend there who is going through some life changing experiences, mainly marital problems. So I was standing there thinking to myself; here's one friend to the left of me who is about to end a marraige and another friend to the right of me whose dead father is laying in a casket in front of me. I know I'm not that old- but I can say that my life is remarkably different than it was 4 years ago or even 1 year ago. And at that moment I felt officially like an adult. It was kind of weird. I had to stop thinking about it when I realized also that my parents will eventually die- and that's a terrifying thing to think about. I love them too much to think they'll someday not be in my life.
Sorry for being so sober... it was just one of those moments I needed to share.
