last 2010 post!

well, 2010 is almost at an end. it has been a good year. could things have been better, sure, but i am alive and that is what counts. the holidays are always fun, and i just ADORE cooking. i have been cooking up a storm. lots have happened in 2010; many life lessons have been learned and i have fallen flat on my face, but i have gotten up, cleaned up, and seem to be on the right track. i met my love in the year 2010 and that part of my life is terrific and is only getting better. he is so patient, gentle, and kind with me. school is great and it is nice to see good grades again and to understand what i am being taught also. i am hoping and know that 2011 will be great and offer me many more life lessons that will continue to allow me to grow.
**main goals for 2011--keep off my weight loss, continue to do well and finish my degree, see my love more often, and of course...move back out and begin being independent once again! Happy New Year Bloggers!

will my prayer be answered?

post from 2010: i promise, one of these days i will have a glowing blog to share and not doom and gloom. i am blessed to be alive and i am doing really well in school this time around. i just wish my parents would accept the person i choose to love and want to spend my life with. i pray that one day they will. i want them present for my happy moment which should be theirs too. i have decided to go ahead with it either way, it is my happiness and my future and i know and hope there is at least one person on my side of the family that will support us. i have to and still am waiting to see what it in store in regards to everything. we are still going strong. a special thank you to all who have and still do love and support me, it means more than i can ever thank you all for!

2013 update: we are still together 3+ years! wahoo! parents still have their view even though i am almost 30 :(  but...what would you do? forgo the parental blessing and marry who you love or fall into the trap that it will not work? hmmm?

Being Thankful!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! There are a lot of things I am thankful for, but most of all, other than my family and friends is a yet another chance that the Lord has given me to do something with my life. I hope and pray that I can use this chance wisely and become a better person and hopefully be able to become all the things I want to be such as a wife and mother (too that special someone who knows who he is) who is kind with her heart and soft with her words.

roller coaster

what a roller coaster of emotions i have been having for the past 2 weeks. it is a combo of many things. too many to list/blog about. i will have to put my faith in the Lord and he will once again pull me through this one. i think i am just SO tired of school and being at home. my poor sweetheart has had to take the brunt of most of it. he is sure a trooper! at least i know he is one person i can trust. hopefully i can get 2 miles in today...we shall see.

college

i am so glad that week 1 is over! however, i am not too happy that it take so LONG for grades to come back. being that i am working on my masters online, i would like to know that my instructors are receiving things correctly. at least an e-mail saying "Got it" will suffice. the first week always get me nervous as i am not sure who got what and when. 7 more weeks and then a one week break. i am looking forward to it. i spend most of my days in the library while my brother is in class, then we ride home together. it is not very exciting, but i am glad i can be around to help. the alone time in the library is nice too.

what would you do?

new to this blogging thing. hope i will like it. question for you all...how do you cope with living at home with your parents when you are over the age of 25? granted, i enjoy the fact that  they are helping and that i do not have to pay rent anymore, but i feel as though my privacy is gone. i have been out of the house for 8 years with college (transfers and life happened), i got used to being by myself and doing "my own thing" now i feel sheltered and in a dictatorship! what to do? how would you all cope?
