My birthday...almost.

Last night Nathan and some of my wonderful friends threw me a surprise birthday dinner.  It was awesome.  I have such wonderful friends and I am truly blessed.


My honey bunny.

Finally!

Yes, my friends...after a year long battle with Countrywide and now Bank of America...I finally got my loan modification.  It came from Fed Ex yesterday and I can honestly say that I haven't been this excited/relieved in a really long time.

This year has been a rough one on me; just as it has on everyone.  While I know my problems are small in comparison to the world at large; I must say that sometimes, in my own little world, my problems seem huge.

This year has been filled with getting divorced, my house almost getting forclosed, my dad passing away and now having to change jobs.  At times I felt that my brain would never have a moments peace again.  However, last night I woke up in the middle of the night, as I usually do, but this time I realized that I was awake because I was actually excited instead of worried; full of promise in lieu of angst.  I feel like a rebirth has happened with these new loan docs and I'm ready to start again.

I also want to thank all my friends for listening to me bitch and moan about this for the last year, okay maybe longer.  I will now try and share my good vibes with all of you.

Dear Mom...


Dear Mom...

Thank you for making it okay for me to fail and not feel like a failure.  Thank you for helping me take risks even though it's so not in my nature.  Thank you for holding me up when I feel like my foundation is cracking.  Thank you for doing your best each day to be the best person you can be and teaching me to do the same (even though I may fall short on that one).  I love you.

Update

I am so excited to see that my blog is updating now on my friend's blog rolls. 

I have been meaning to post about my journey to Missouri but I've been slammed since we got back.  Here are a few highlights of my trip:

1.  My poor Sadie Lou got so sick the day before we left.  Luckily we are blessed to have a wonderful dog sitter who rushed her to the vet and a wonderful vet who took wonderful care of her.  She is better now but it did put a damper on our trip.

2.  I met my boyfriend's entire family which was wonderful.  Despite various warnings that they might not be the most welcoming kind; they were very sweet and I really enjoyed meeting all of them.

3.  We got to go to Branson, MO which is supposed to be the Vegas of Missouri.  I can honenstly say...it was NOT!  It was a very interesting place though.

I do have some pictures that I want to share but I felt like I hadn't said anything for a while and you all know I enjoy the sound of my own voice!
