I'm Back...with a few scatterd thoughts !

Well It has been a very long time since I have updated anything. and really, allot has changed! Were to begin....

Well I have a new job, I no longer go home at the end on the day feeling like crap, looking worse and smelling like a rancid coffee bean, yes my days at Starbucks are over. I now work for the Island owned Columbia Fuels, and I have to say its a joy, far better that bucks anyway. No only am I making mo' money, I am working better hours and I get 3 days off a week!

I have been doing much reflecting over the past while and have just stepped onto a very new and great path, one of hope, love, grace, peace and oh so much more. there are many bumps on this road but I know each one will make me stronger. I have also learned the real meaning of friendship. I real true friend is VERY hard to find, one who loves you no matter what, and is willing to help you no matter what. I have to say, I did not always know what a true friend was, but now I do and am glad to say the lord has placed an AMAZING and True friend in my life. I have always wanted lots of friends, not that I still don't, but I have come to realize that quality is much better than quantity.

I have an appointment this coming week to see about purchasing my first home, I am a little scared about this, but it will be worth it to go and see what they say. The condo is part of the new Dockside Green, and I would be getting a 1 bedroom, but as much as that excites me, I also want to travel and see the world, so I don't know that I am ready to be locked into something so big just yet, oh well, we will see!

I have also been changing my focus over the last while, trying to stay away from earthly things, and focus on time. Time spent with people and doing things that count. spending time with the lord and my family and friends. I have come to a place were I know that it feels good to have 'things' but it is much nicer to spend time and build memory's that will last. To put a smile on someones face by surprising them with lunch one day or going for a walk in the rain, it all means so much more than buying them a new shirt or a candle and lasts longer than a new pair of shoes. Its not always easy, buts its something I'm working on.

It the past I have been very negative to words myself, and have really been trying to change that, one thing I have started and hope I will one day have a chance to use, is a wedding book, I have been buying up wedding mags like crazy and cutting out all the best stuff and putting it in a scrap book, so one day, everything I need will be at my fingertips :) now if I could just find a husband, it would probably help, I even have my perfect man outlined in my book, now its not one of those shallow tall dark and handsome things, its more like Serves the lord,tall, Italian, funny, sweet, outgoing, can cook with fashion sense and a passion for travel. Now that's not to much to ask, is it? OK I can be flexible on the whole Italian thing, but thats been my dream since I was little, I have always wanted (and still do) to marry an Italian and travel to Italy, in no particular order.

Anyway, this past fall my family had there photos taken by a good friend of myen who also is a photographer, so I have added some of the photos to this post so you can see my beautiful family. My mom, dad, little sister and my dog dayzee! are we a great looking bunch or what!

I have a feeling 2008 is going to be a very good year, I have high hopes, and allot of good plans and I will write about them all as they unfold!
