Updates

I have blogged a lot recently on the things I have gone and done and not to so much on what is going on. So, I thought I would fill you in.

.

You may remember my old roommate who I still see regularly, Ashley, from a few years back. We lived together a few years ago with some crazy roommates. Well, she just recently moved back in with me. I am so excited! It is super hard to find good roommates (all you married folk, which is most of you, have no idea how hard it is sometimes!) and when she said she wanted to move in I was so happy! It takes so much stress off me knowing that I love my roommates and that we get along great, not just as friends but also as roommates.

I took a semester off school. There was just so much going on in my life and I got sick to my stomach just thinking about going to school. So I took this semester off and will return and finish in the spring.

.

I have had some personal issues arise in the last few weeks and it has taken it's toll. There were a lot of hurt feelings and stresses about people I really cared about. I picked up some pieces in my life and in the life of some of those closest to me and it was emotionally challenging. In the long run it made the relationships closer and stronger and while we would not want to repeat, it was a good experience. I know now that there are a few people who won't easily be moved and I am grateful for that. I have a true friend in Logan and I am blessed and amazed at how much he has blessed me in recent months. I will have to dedicate a whole blog to that sometime soon.

.

I still struggle with things. I am still working hard to make sure that I am doing all that I can to be the best person I can be. I work hard to make myself better everyday. And I am succeeding. To date this year, 20 pounds have left me. That my friends is equivalent the to weight I gained after dating Mark. So Mark is gone, haha! If I can only get rid of Jared...oh well. I have a few more months left in the year and I plan to make a big dent in that still.

.

My car broke down again, which is just too much to handle really. It will take $2000 to fix it and it just not in the budget at the moment. So keep that in your prayers or thoughts for me. I am struggling a great deal with that at the moment.

.

I am still having a rough patch but I am determined, after a few things that have happened lately, to make this year end on an up swing. I know I am loved and needed. I know that I am talented and an important part of people's lives. I have the ability to touch and inspire those around me and I am so grateful to be of help and service when I can. Taking a break and being more of that to myself as well as others is something I am striving to do. I want to be better and more assured of myself than I have been in recent months. A little rejection (or a lot really) builds character and I have a ton of character right now so I had better start using it to my advantage.

.

Oh and, I am determined to snag myself a cute guy or two in the next few months. I am feeling like it is time for another streak of guys in my life. So be watching out for that to be happening too.

.

So, that is what is going on in my world. Hope it makes it easier to understand the random posts now. Or at least appreciate them.
