Namaste

I joined the YMCA--and am LOVING IT!

Yesterday, I just went to the gym and holy cow are their tredmills high tech! Afterwards, I immensely enjoyed the steam room.

It takes a bit getting use to the openness in the dressing rooms. I am just not use to being in an atmosphere that is so open.

Today, I got up and decided to try their yoga class. I was definitely the youngest there (by 35 years +) but the stretches still did the trick. And yes, I rewarded myself with the steam room afterwards!!!

This past weekend, Nate and I took a shot at making some Japanese food. It is still just as delicious a few days later!

I am currently enjoying some rice noodles, veggies, and beef with the sun shining on me.

NAMASTE!

I've Learnt That..

* you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.

* no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.

* it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.

* it's not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts.

* you can do something in an instant that will give you a heartache for life.

* no matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides.

* you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

* we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

* there are people who love you dearly, but just don't know how to show it.

* true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

* just because someone doesnt love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

* maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

* no matter how good a friend someone is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

* no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

* just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other.And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

* we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

* you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.

* there are many ways of falling and staying in love.

* no matter how many friends you have, if you are their pillar, you will feel lonely and lost at the times you need them most.

* the people you care most about in life are taken from you to soon.

* although the word "love" can have many different meanings, it loses value when overly used.

* love is not for me to keep, but to pass on to the next person I see.

* there are people who love you dearly but just don't know how to show it.

* even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

* every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love that human touch-holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

* I still have a lot to learn......

Comeback, Spring!

It sure has been a busy past few weeks!

I met Leah two weeks ago: such a precious little girl! Insta love!


At work, I now have another client. I am pretty excited to start working with her though because it'll be a new atmosphere, change, experience.

This weather makes me not want to get out of bed. I wish I was where Andrew, my mom, and Bob were...super jealous!

I have officially resigned from my gym and tomorrow will join the YMCA, I am really excited!

Monday night, Nate and I went and saw Sevendust, Korn, and Disturbed (aka "Music as a Weapon" tour). It was SO MUCH FUN! We had a blast and they did not let us down!!!

Xanadou

This week has been pretty good to me so far. I don't work till 9:30pm once this week!!! That is pretty exciting! I hope this weather decides not to go downhill..it's so close to being awesome... I can taste it on my tongue!

But...I will not hesitate any longer... WELCOME TO THE WORLD LEAH MARY ANN!!!!!



What a beautiful bundle of joy she is. Both baby and mommy are healthy!!! I cannot wait to see them this weekend!

I've been showering at night recently, and I have to say it has helped me sleep much better. I was going through a phase where all I'd do is toss and turn and race through nightmares. I still don't know why.. but the showers have calmed me a bit before bed.

I would love to see the sun...oh mister golden sun PLEASE SHINE DOWN ON ME!!!

Goodnight, Moon!

Birthdays!

Wishing a very Happy Birthday to the love of my life!!
Since we both work tomorrow, we had a mini celebration and had dinner with some of his buddies at Famous Daves...yummy brisket!
Tomorrow I am going to attempt to make: Veal Stuffed Manicotti With Roasted Yellow Pepper Pesto! Yummmy.

Also--in 8 hours my twin, Katrice, will be induced..I pray that the delivery goes well and I cannot wait to meet my niece/God daughter, Leah! I hope you make it safely into the world!!!! Updates will be made!

Life is so full of blessings!

Also--I cannot wait to see my family next weekend, I know it'll only be for a little bit since they are leaving me to go on a cruise :(... but I hope they have a fantastic and safe trip. I miss them so much!
