winter thunderstorms

hello blog...
i do not update you as much as i should. hoping to change that this year.

finished filing my taxes today. that refund will be a nice addition to my savings account that has been dwindled down to practically nothing due to my recent change in jobs. ok, its been like five months, but still.

tonight should mark closure and moving on from what had been my life for the past 5 years. its a little bitter sweet. i had so many great memories from camp and yet it seems that i am now no longer welcome on its grounds. you'd think that i murdered someone out there or something the way people have treated me since my leaving. haha. i mean seriously. just gives me more fuel for my fire (aka: book or series of blog posts) they are coming. i just have to get thru tonight. then i will feel a little more freedom to write out my thoughts.

i just want to move on. i want 2012 to be a year of adventure. to rid myself of all that holds me back and to live each day in the moment.

i'm very thankful to be where i am. to have a family that loves and supports me. to have a job i look forward to going to. to work with good people who actually care. to have the worlds most amazing friends (even if i don't get to see them much)

last night i had some great dreams. actually any dream i have of hanging out with him is good. i just hope its that good when i finally see him again in a week. so looking forward to facetime. no amount of texting will ever replace just being able to hang out in person. to look a friend in the eye and have real conversations. :)

i'm learning that the most important thing we can do in life is love like the one example we have been given. this love is not based on circumstances or past, present or future... its based on loving for the sake of loving. we all deserve this kind of love in our lives and my goal this year is to be the best example of this LOVE that i can be.

and as i wrap up this entry, i write about how excited i was to be awoken to the sound of thunderstorms last night. its the end of january and we are getting rain and thunderstorms! amazing. not as amazing as being someplace warm like florida or cali... but i'll take this odd season we are calling winter. please be this nice or nicer next week when the boys are in town! :)

yes, that's right. OH SLEEPER in one week!! so excited for this!! and i have hats to give them. well two of them anyway. and i need to plan out zacs scarf before it gets to be too late.

much to look forward to these days. and much to simply enjoy about being alive. i'm happy that his year seems to be getting off to a much better start than how 2011 ended. that makes me so super HAPPY!!
