Learning

I know, it's been a while. Boy you don't realize how fast time goes until you look back at something like this. I started this blog when I was a single mother and now I have another girl and I am married. Life has a way of moving...fast.

I have always had issues within myself. I give too much..I love too deeply..and I have always felt as if someone somewhere was going to hurt me...at any given moment. I am really just learning that this is a defense mechanism. I truly believed that my life was always going to be me putting my trust into someone and getting my heart ripped out. I grew stronger with each hurt feeling or tear I shed. But now that I am married..I see that I do this with everyone! People who love me and would never want to see me hurt. One little argument or disagreement and my mind races. "He doesn't love me".

Angel..listen to yourself. That doesn't make any sense. He does love you and they do appriciate you. It's just a bad day. I have to tell myself this. I have to set the record straight in my head. I need to do that instead of spending the day crying and sulking. Only to see that everything always works out. And usually there is a lesson learned. Or even a chance to get to know my loved ones a little more.

Ok. I'm done for now. I set the record straight in my head and I needed that today.

A little something for my 14 year old niece

I so enjoyed myself making this. It's funky, it's so her and it's super fun! I framed it so that she could hang it on her wall. Used lots and lots of goodies and threw it all together ;)

Simply Dreamy

As filing my taxes nears..I begin to dream of the most beautiful art studio a girl could ask for. *sigh*

btw..most of this can be found at www.etsy.com

Let's do the time warp again

So I got an IPOD touch for Christmas this year (thank u mommy) and had some extra room, so I added some old stuff (figuring that I would end up deleting it within the week) and came across the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack. I begin singing along (kinda surprised how well I remember it all) and I start spitting out all the lines from the movie..all the inside jokes..all the jokes that are still used to this day..it was a huge part of my life when I was in Highschool. It changed my life, it changed who I was, it changed the way I saw people. It was the most fun I have ever had in my life. Today listening to the music brought a little piece of me back.

Reminding me to laugh at life and sing along.

Peyton's wish

She wished and she wished.

She asked so many questions.

She asked if she looked like him.

She even asked if he was the president.

And after seven years of all this, she finally got her wish.

She finally got to meet her dad.

And the best part..

it was perfect.

I couldn't be happier for my beautiful girl.

*sigh

Ode to Vacation

Sweet Escape

For Chelle

Chelle's missing the snow.

that must be nice.

GO COLTS!

And a very happy birthday to my beach Mary!

I met someone....

and he is completely amazing.

I have a little secret....

I might be getting a visit from Michelle next weekend. I can't tell Peyton...just in case. She said if she does get to come back to Indy, she is not stepping a foot outside of my door. If anyone wants to see her, they have to come to my house to do it..lol. That's my gurl! Please cross your fingers for me. I really miss her and I know Peyton is missing her "fairy God mother" We don't get to visit her in Florida until June..we can't wait that long. for real.
