Life

Life the last few days has been really really good. Calm, happy, sunny, and content. Everything that has come up I have pretty much said "All well" to. Nothing has been able to get my upset, I haven't cried for a long time and things don't seem to bother me. I like it!

Last night I worked my first full section on my own. I had a full section all night with a big top being one of them. No mistakes and no angry customers. YEP, that's what I call SUCCESS! Everyone at the restaurant is SO extremely nice!

I ran today... It's 91 degrees, and I haven't looked at what the humidy level is but at HAS to be at least 70%. That equation plus a Washington Rain- Runner equals one hot, sweaty, exhausted mess! Boy, did it feel good though!

Still no word from my Dad or Brother.

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day Weekend!

"Sometimes the best part of the adventure, is not knowing where you're going to land"

“Never let go of hope. One day you will see that it all has finally come together. What you have always wished for has finally come to be. You will look back and laugh at what has passed and you will ask yourself... 'How did I get through all of that?”

Yesterday I received news of yet another person betraying me in this whole process... procedure... life change that I am going through. It hurt, but when I woke up today my first thought was "Hm, wonder who it's going to be today!?" Pretty sad, right?

How does some one change their life for the better and make positive changes when people don't allow them to? When people dwell on the past and the bad stuff and don't let you forget it? I am now eliminating all of the negative people out of my life. Easier said then done.

There are a few people in my life who I have had difficulties with in the past. Both my fault and theirs. I forgive and don't forget but continue to have them in my life. From now on, I am not going to forgive so easily. It's these people that are now stabbing me in the back.

The weather this weekend is supposed to be in the 80's and we are campin' out at one of Jamie's friends' house with a fire, karaokee, and good BBQ'd food! I have been pretty good the last two days and definitly taking steps forward.

Lucy on the other hand is still attacking Ally's little dog consistantly and she now has a hurt eye. I'm not really sure when or what happened but Lucy continues to be muzzled! I took her on a mini-hike to the waterfall and swimmin' hole and she swam for a good hour!

Well I am off to enjoy the sunshine!

Cheers!

Picture Post

We started the trip off by stopping in Absarokee

to see the rest of my "family". Gosh, I love these three

so much. They have seen me and walked with me

through hell and back.

One word describes them...

AMAZING.

One evening we hiked in to one of the Watkins Glen

waterfalls. It was GORGEOUS and a short hike form a

few of Jamies' friends' house.

Havana Rain is ALWAYS ready for swimmin!

I LOVE THIS LITTLE GIRL!

The girls!

That water in the distance is Seneca Lake.

The sunset when we got back form our mini-hike was

incredible!

Ally and I also hiked up Hector Falls.

We only went to the first level, however, it was

still beautiful! That is Seneca Lake in the

background.

Week One

A week ago yesterday I left Washington... A week ago today I was leaving Montana! The last week has had more ups and downs in such a short amount of time then I think I have ever had in my life! It has been crazy! BUT... I have learned a few things...

1.) You find out who your true friends are and who stands by you NO MATTER WHAT!

2.) Sometimes the people that you expect to step up and support and defend you and be there for you... are the ones that aren't. And the ones you DON'T expect it from, are the ones who are.

3.) The friends and family that don't support you, will cause you hurt, BUT, you don't need them to be happy. No matter how important they are or how much a part of your life they are, if they don't support you and don't want to be there for you, you can live with out them. And if you think you can't, you can, so get over it.

4.) The SECOND you decide to stop living your life and making decisions to make EVERYONE else happy, and start making decisions to make yourself happy, you are definitely happier! However, this is where the losing friends and family come in to effect because there will be some one, if not multiple someones, who will not like this.

5.) Lastly, I have learned to cherish those who are there for me; MORE then I use to cherish them. And my new goal is to make sure they know how much I cherish them.

Allyson has been an AMAZING friend through everything; dealing with my emotional breakdowns and my goofy/ loopy fun times. She has supported me emotionally and is letting me stay with her. (She hopes I just move in!). I have some AMAZING friends back home, four to be exact, that are incredibly supportive and don't get annoyed of constantly reminding me everything will be okay (or if they do get annoyed they don't tell me!).

Every day I feel like I am getting stronger. I still have a lot of pain from two people giving up on me and deciding I am wrong. But I am slowly getting past that. It's amazing still, through all of the turmoil and ups and downs and craziness, overall and deep down, I am so much happier then I have been in the last three years. I am excited about the rest of my life. I can't wait to see what it has in store. Not to mention, I have the best blessing I could have... and she is hairy and has short legs and a cute fox-like face. She, like a kid would do, keeps me going!

I started my job over here waiting tables. It was much easier then the Spaghetti Factory and EVERYONE is super nice there. It's right on the lake with a gorgeous view! Hopefully I can catch on and get the hang of things quickly. Lucy is doign well, still adjusting to this life and the humidy (today it's supposed to be 91%!). Her favorite time is bed time when it's just her and I and no screaming baby or dogs. She has already had a tick on her! It's been an adventure for her as well!

I miss everyone at home and love everyone!
