So, its been a minute since i've posted on here. Everything has changed, all for the better of course.
I recently moved back home with mom and dad, and i am LOVING it. i feel like im finally home :) and not to mention marley is so happy to be back up there and he gets to play with Lilly more. I also get to see my nieces like 100 x more than i could before.
I'm the happiest ive been in awhile, i love it. I get to see my Jenica almost every day which i have missed so much. However, i am missing my Stasi heart pretty bad, she moved back to Chicago a few weeks ago and its hard to not have her here while im going through what im going through. but we need to skype it up my love.
this song makes me happy :
Ooooh you feel that as I take you to them dirt roads
Deep in your southern roots.
When nobody said life was going to be easy
And we travel through this emotional rollercoaster called life,
and we have our ups and downs.
Just keep in mind when you hit rock bottom,
There aint no where to go but up baby.
It's just all you about how you deal wit it you feel me..
until next time, when i hopefully have a cool joke to tell you guys. Thank you everyone that has been by my side, i love you all!!!

What other people think of you is none of your business.
Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio
"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written."
My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's,we'd grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come.
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."

Artichoke attack
So its been awhile since i have posted. Just haven't had much to say lately i guess and just been really busy. I finished my classes and just found out that i passed both!! (barely but i got a c). Marley is great, but recently depressed as our neighbors and his love Minnie moved away but he still gets to visit with her. And dangle is getting better at not bothering us while we sleep so he's allowed indoors at night time haha.
We went camping a couple weekends ago in santa barbara and it was alot of fun.
This is at an organic farm
So now for the point of my blog. been on a health kick lately and we went shopping tonight and were immediately sold on cooking some artichokes. Twenty minutes later and after a google search on how to cook we begin to eat. So tasty and yummy. and were just enjoying a nice home cooked meal (made some chicken casserole ohhh my favorite). anyways, we get to the end of it and guess who's home we have been eating EWW!!! SO FREAKING GROSS there was a living creature inside. luckily brandon caught it first otherwise i prolly would have thrown it across the room. so i totally have the heebie jeebies but poor little guy got steamed to death.... my mom made me feel better by saying at least they don't use pesticides HAHAHAHA

January brings new things!
So its 2009 already. Making some changes.... started school this week, I'm taking two online classes - math and psychology. I'm excited / scared. still don't know what i want to do with myself though. also i stopped smoking! Brandon is at almost 2 weeks and i just started yesterday, but I'm feeling good :) still working at the same place, and im pretty content.
I had some sad news last week however... a friend passed away. hard to deal with but at least he's free in heaven from his chains. RIP Cody.
On a happier note Marley got to play with his niece Lilly on Sunday it was a blast watching them play - after about 10 minutes Marley got hot and jumped into the big water trough it was hilarious.. and stinky!!!! And also started some sewing with my mom - goal is to make curtains for my house.. I AM SO SICK OF SHEETS! Dangle is annoying/cute as ever. he decided to wake me up this morning by pouncing on my face - he's getting big! well just wanted to do a little update.
Love you all
Jenna is going to kill me but this is sooo funny. i asked her what animal she would be if she could:
Heres my evil attack cat:
And of course my mars bars
