Walk for Cures...

I don't think I have ever really thought about how many amazing things happen and are given to me everyday. I have an amazing set of friends that are always here for me whether I want them to be or not, a great family who is not always functional but a dang good time, and many of my own great qualities. Life is good.

Today, I walked for children with cancer. It had an amazing turn out, and even my hero Herky the Hawkeye was there (not to mention there was no cyclone). The little boy we went to support, Will Krueger, is such an amazing kid. He is reason alone to do something selfless for one morning. With every smile I feel like he says a thousand words. He has amazing strength, that I wish I even had half of. Days like today just put me in my place, and open my heart to those who really need help. Will, thank you for being such a light in my life and such an inspiring person. I love you and am going to try to help as much as possible.

Either Change....or Be Changed

Things just come at you all the time...and you either can embrace the change or have it completely take over you. Dk just found out yesterday that his body doesn't digest wheat. I made an executive decision that I am going to try to stop eating it too, so I can be more of a help than a burdon. I mean I love bread more than anything, but I am going to do this for him.

I feel like so much is going on all the time. Next Saturday we are having a girls night and I couldn't be more excited. Except Mary won't be there which makes me sad. I know she is with me everyday, but sometimes it't just not enough. I wish she was just a block away, and I wish she would just move home. I know she can't. I respect her for what she is doing. I am just being selfish. Ever since she left, I just feel like a little part of me died. It sucks. But best friends for life...right! I have the best friends in the world and I know that. Always room for more :)

never be too sure

In this day and age, it is almost too easy to let life get in your way. Honestly, I am that person most of the time. I let myself get wrapped up in the drama of work, friends, family....I mean whatever it is I get sucked right in. If that doesn't get me, my busy schedule gets me down. Yesterday my eyes were opened by the one person who opens them everytime, DK.

I am so lucky that I can afford to go to school, and that I have a job. I have the best friends on the freaking planet, and an amazing boyfriend that I could throw a mountain in front of and he would climb it to help me. I take these things for granted everyday when I feel depressed or sad. I got a slap across the face to make me realize that I need to play the game as a team and not an individual. Selfish, being unkind, over analizing, and angry just get in the way of living the way we are supposed to. Never be too sure someone will always be there, never be too sure that you're right, never be too sure that God isn't trying to teach you something. Just be sure you are giving a 100%, and be sure that you are playing the game of life with your heart and not your head.

woops! 2010 here we come 18 days late....

I can not believe that it is 2010...the past few years have flown by. I have started school again and grown up a lot, made some awesome new friends, and made some really difficult descions. Life has a way of moving on whether you want to it to or not...

The descions that you are forced to make sometimes determine how the rest of your life is going to go. However...lately I have realized that relationships are work. ALL OF THEM. I have a very hard time not arguing with people but a wise person said to me once that " you shouldn't fight with an idiot because then their are two." Needless to say that she was right. This year I have decided that I want to be more aware of how other people think whether I agree or disagree. I also want to loose some weight. So far I have started eating a lot better and have stopped drinking soda. It feels good. I also would like to stop focusing on the negitive all the time and focus on the positive. I have the ability to get sucked into the drama without even knowing. I just want to be done with that. Time to grow up right??
