do i have things to blog about?
you betcha.
but where do i begin.
how do i not get too personal.
when everything feels too personal right now.
how do i explain how alone i feel.
how can you feel alone when you are this close to another human.
would you judge me if i tell you sometimes i'm more scared than excited.
that i've had nightmares.
horrible nightmares.
that i'm really scared about getting fat.
it's really difficult for a ex-chubby girl to have to get chubby again.
i'm having problems accepting this new body.
that i feel dead.
or at least i think people think i'm dead.
i know everyone has their own lives.
but when did i disappear off their radar?
that deep down i know this is all i've ever wanted.
a family of my own.
but it doesn't feel real yet.
and this in between thing sucks.
and i feel that i'm abandoning my husband.
will he tire of his fat wife?
do i complian too much.
no, i know i complain too much.
i'm getting through.
one day at a time.
work keeps me distracted.
but at night..
the nightmares return.

i don't know.
where have i been?
three weddings burned me out.
a new job has taken over my life.adjusting to a new life role.
keeping faith during family illnesses.
reuniting with family,
and feeling like i'm losing some.
these are not excuses.
but i just wanted you to know.
things are happening.
hoping things settle soon.

twenty.five
yesterday ( friday the 13 ! ) i turned 25.
i think 25 is old.
& i'm having a hard time deal.
need new goals.
a year ago i made goals.
to love.
to be brave.
to learn.
we celebrated our first anniversary
& everyday i thank God for j.
starting next week i accepted a new job,
as a counselor in one of the toughest high schools in the state.
i couln't be more nervous,
but i'm so proud i stayed strong.
on july 31st i accepted my master's degree.
a task i wasn't sure i'd ever complete.
new goals are needed.
i still want to love,
be brave,
and learn.
by the time i'm 30 - five years away:
1. take a class, each year.. just for fun.
2. have a baby.
3. stay in one office for more than two years.
4. travel to europe with j.
5. expand helen's hassack.
6. learn how to sew.
7. volunteer every year.
8. have peace in my entire family.
9. visit northern california.
10. visit orlando specifically to see the new harry potter park!
so have i changed much since i was seven years old in that old girl scouts picture?
i still have the same best friend <3
(yeap that's kate in both pictures. haha)
i still love big bows
& ruffles
& black leggings.
i still make sarcastic faces.
thankfully, my parents sprung for braces.
