It hasn't been nearly as long in between Blogs this time. I'm impressed with myself. Maybe I'm giving myself too much credit; I suppose that's possible.
I have continued to try and move upwards and onwards since my trip to Seattle. I can't believe how after not seeing friends for 12 years, a visit with them is like ripping a bandaid off of a fresh wound. We miss each other soooo much now! I am planning on going back in January. Even with five children, it's easier for me to get away then for my BFF.
I was thrilled to come home and have The Twilight Saga: New Moon be released that week. We went to see the theater play the original Twilight movie, and then the midnight showing of New Moon. I have NEVER seen so much passion from fans, or craziness at midnight at the theater. It was fun to be a part of it though and I DEFINITELY am planning a repeat for Eclipse in June.
It may seem funny for a now 30-year-old woman to love a saga so much, but as Stephenie Meyer, the author has said; she never wrote it with the teenage demographic in mind and who can't fall in love with a love story that is all about eternity and being in love forever? I know that I can't.
We just survived Thanksgiving, and Black Friday. Definitely one of my favorite weekends of the year. We spent it with Brian's family and my mother-in-law put on one of her absolutely fabulous dinners. She never ceases to amaze me. Then, we went to a movie on Thanksgiving evening and stayed up ALL night and hit the sales beginning at 1:30 a.m., (well, actually 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving!!!). All of my sister-in-laws and my MIL and I enjoyed finding the deals that help us complete our Christmas lists.
Kassie is getting anxious and is full of questions about leaving for college, but she has a confidence about her, too. I'm so proud of her.
This is a new year for us. We are doing things differently then we have ever done them. I have ended some relationships that were definitely dead weight in my life, and even though it is probably best in the long run, it still makes my heart hurt.
I however, have to worry about me right now more then I ever have. I have always put my children and other people ahead of things that I should have had as my first priorities and I have to learn from that. Some days are harder then others, but some days are pretty good. Today's been one of those days. It's like taking a breath of fresh spring air on a 74 degree day. Just keep moving...
