On Thursday my husband, daughter and I headed down to Arvada to celebrate with my side of the family. We went out to eat at a yummy restaurant. I had a salad, a crab leg, lobster tail, stuffing, mashed potatoes and for dessert pumpkin pie.
On Friday I went shopping at Colorado Mills with my sister-in-law and niece. I bought some things at Bath and Body Works and continued to look around in the stores. We also hit Kohl's too. I was surprised that the mall and Kohl's weren't that busy but we didn't get out until about 9am.
Friday evening we went to see the Farewell of Riverdance at the Buel Theater. It was tons of fun!
Saturday headed back home and went to Avo's in the evening to go to a concert.
Sunday was my birthday and was greatly blessed with all of the cards and gifts from family and friends. So now I am 24 years old but it definitely doesn't feel any different from being 23.

I LOVE TO READ!!
I am reading P.S. I Love You again. I enjoy the book even though it is sad at times. But for those of you who haven't read the book yet I do recommend it. I think that it is definitely better than the movie.
I am almost finished with reading this book and then I am going to start reading Shanghai Girls. I received the book for an early birthday present. I have never heard of the author but it seems like a good book and I can't wait to start reading it.
If anyone has any recommendations for any other books I would love to hear of any good books. I am a book worm and just love to read!

Hello.....
So after a long time of not posting anything I have decided once again to try and start with writing again. I don't know how far I go with continuing this but I am going to try.
My new thing in my life right now is running. I have been going out to run 3 days a week and I have actually come to enjoying it. I look forward to the days when I get to go out and run. (Going with Nikki sure has helped A LOT with enjoying running too)
It helps to clear my head of things going on in my life and heck the endorphins that I get from running doesn't hurt either. My goal for next year is to run in a half marathon...my dream is to do the one is Walt Disney World. Don't think that I will have the money to get there though.
After 5 years of being out of high school and having to figure out what I want to do when I "grow up" I have decided that I want to be a teacher. I love the feeling that I will be able to help kids in learning new things and know that I have become of their learning process. So I am going to be enrolling for classes for the Spring semester!

Still Hope
Life passing by so fast
I just want to pause it for a sec
To hold on to that moment of hope
He says to me:
Keep holdin' on little girl for there is still hope
End of my rope coming near
As stress tries to cover
Me like a blanket
He says to me:
Keep holdin' on little girl for there is still hope
Hearing a song of hope
On the radio
Singing along to the tune
Hearing Him say to me still:
Keep holdin' on little girl for there is still hope
I just want to pause it for a sec
To hold on to that moment of hope
He says to me:
Keep holdin' on little girl for there is still hope
End of my rope coming near
As stress tries to cover
Me like a blanket
He says to me:
Keep holdin' on little girl for there is still hope
Hearing a song of hope
On the radio
Singing along to the tune
Hearing Him say to me still:
Keep holdin' on little girl for there is still hope

Stuck
I am stuck in a rut of being afraid of the unknown.
Not knowing what or where I will be
and what will end up happening
The future scares me at times.
I wish that I could just have a checklist that would tell me
what to expect.
Praying that things will turn out right.
And having to have faith that it does.

"Front of the Class"
Last night there was the movie called "Front of the Class". It was a Hallmark movie premire. It was a really inspirational movie for me. I don't want to give the whole movie away in case you haven't seen it, but it is about a man who has teretes syndrome and his goal in life is to be a teacher.
I don't remember exact words from the movie, but he kept saying 'I believe that no one should be told that they can't do something. I want to be able to tell my students that they can accomplish anything in life no matter what.'
I thought that it was such an inspirational line. The movie got me to thinking that I can do anything in life that I want.
And the one thing that I want to become is a teacher. I know that I don't like school and after working in one that I see how much work it is, but overall I think that it would be a job that I would be able to enjoy.
