All Good things...

Well now that I got THAT off my chest...The VACAY was AWWWWWWSOOOMMMEEE!!! Me and the bf bonded like no other and the best part he bonded with my family! We floated down the lazy river and just talked and laughed and had a great time! He was really open and funny and receptive all of my family who was there! The only downside is that we had to leave before everyone else cuz we both had to go back to work! So back to GA we went...only to almost run out of GAS. We ended up having to call the roadside assistance at some remote GAS station that was CLOSED! Thankfully the tow truck guy who gave us 2gallons of gas (cost 5.60 and didn't even give me a HALF tank...thievery..i tell ya..but I digress)had pity on us and gave us enough to get the rest of the way home and I have some gas left over too. So this trip was pretty eventful and I'll never forget it...and I doubt the bf wont either!

Stick a fork in it.....

Sometimes the people closest to you can really make you wanna strangle them. AND NO Im not talking bout the bf this time! They say one thing and yet they mean another but yet you're supposed to guess that they mean the other thing! Ughh! Lets just say without putting them out on front street that I wish they would see that Im not such "no clue" person as they make me out to be. I can't win for losing...EVER! Just gets frustrating at times...makes me wanna cuss (and I have..LaWD forgive me!) So Im done...Im done with trying...done with hoping for approval cuz it seems like i'll never get it anyway...Lord ya gotta help me on this one...cus Im done!

The Adventures of D&K....

Well today me and the bf are going to Florida. Yes we are going on what I like to call a "mini-road trip" I know I've mentioned before that my Auntie has a timeshare in Orlando and this year she invited to bf to come along! I was estatic to say the least! So now we are hopping in my car and driving 8hrs and then spending the next 5days together with my side of the family. This pretty monumental..to both of us. For one thing, getting invited and two..the fact that we will be around each other 24/7. I must admit I am kinda excited...no scratch that REAL excited! This little adventure will give us a lil somewhat taste of what it will be like when we get married (looooong time from now) so we are both kinda stoked! And we are gonna surprise his dtr too and I'll be meeting her for the first time..Im kinda nervous cuz shes a teenager and girls and their daddies are a special thing. Im prob gonna give them some alone time too. Either way its pretty tight that we are going. He is actually excited himself which is great! So off on this lil adventure we go and I will dispense all the juicy details when we get back (maybe..wink, wink)

C&D Chronicles...blast from the past...

So Im sitting here taking my hair out so I can get it done tomorrow and trying NOT to look like a throw-back from the 70's but I digress... and while Im doing this I came across DD and wife's blog. (Yes he is actually married now...good for him) We actually reconnected a couple of weeks ago on FB and chatted a little (well he did most of the talking...THAT will never change!)on the phone. It was good to hear from him and I must admit I almost fell back into blurting out my whole life story since we..uh..Parted. However, I did not and besides the fact that he is now a married man (with two of the cutest children I've ever seen)and it feels weird now, I don't wanna get into THAT habit again. I guess I just missed his laughter and his wicked sense of humor. I think I finally threw that diary out I had that almost completely consisted of him in it. DD showed me alot...like I had mentioned in a post looong ago and It's still great to see that he and his family are serving God. I do get a little prideful (Lord forgive me)in knowing that I knew him when he first got saved...told me on the phone..I'll never forget that..but Im not a finished product...HE is still working on me! Anyway...its great to read his chronicles..both from him and his wife. She is the perfect match for him...God knew. I could have never been right for hi...I would have drove the poor man batty! I like reading what she writes and now video blogs too. Maybe I can get some insight..ya know. God sure has a funny way of bringing things full-circle but That's Him. So now there's yet another interesting tidbit that 2010 has given me...wonder what's next???

some thoughts...

Well the last post was all about the bf but I do have other stuff to say! Its amazing what will happen when you obey God...When you give it to HIM. Now Im not saying that it's easy but it's definately worth it. Im trying to strive to be like HIM and sometimes its so hard but it's the only path I HAVE to take. I know He has a purpose for me and yes I think the bf is a part of it but I know He wants me to continue to work ON ME. And thats what Im trying to do. I still have to work on alot of things but Im trying...well scratch that...Im doing. I feel like I have to DO more though..be more. The church Im going to is awesome and I keep feeling this tug to get involved more...but right now it just doesn't seem to be an opportunity. I did join the drama group but ever since my surgery..i haven't been able to get there! Seems like the Sat they have it...im always doing something! I think she done stop sending me emails too! I know they prob have something this Sat but Im planning on going to SC to surprise visit my Grandma and Dad. I haven't seen them in a minute (well Grandma) Saw Dad at my bro's album release party which was really good. But Im getting off track...as always..like I was saying God is really showing me things and I need to keep going after HIM. Trust me sometimes...I fall so hard that I don't think I'll get back up but I do because I know He'll be there to help me. I've learned that I am NOTHING without HIM...and I have to really start showing it. Anyway that's just some thoughts...more later!

All about the BF....

Well its July and This month is most definately starting off better than the last one! Why was JUNE such a rough month this year? And that's my birthday month no less! But I digress...ANYWAY...like I was saying July is starting off pretty good. For one thing me and the bf are moving along pretty good now...He is really stepping it up. And we both are really trying to do it the right way. His attitude is much different now..although he'll have some spells but they are getting less frequent and he is going to GOD alot more now. He is really keeping his promise..which in turn pushes me to keep mine. Yes...don't know if I mentioned it but he gave me a promise ring on Fathers Day. Now I know it sounds "high-school" but I don't care. It's very special to me and what it stands for is far more important to what ppl may think. For the most part I've gotten really good compliments on it anyway! Mom is also warming up to him (could it be true???) I know she is still leary but last Sunday he went to church with us and afterward she told him that she enjoyed him being there! Then he asked her for a hug and she gave him a big one! That made me feel really good. We spent the Fourth together and we went back to Rome, Ga to visit his friend and his family (which are my friends too now) But the best part was the ride home. We talked so much and it was so meaningful. God is doing something we just have to "stay the course" like bf says! Next week we are going to Florida with my Auntie and gonna stay in her timeshare. This will be our first road trip together and I am mad excited. 4 whole days to be together...wow...this will be interesting but Im excited to see how this works out. I hope he'll get used to my crazy family! My auntie and her husband, my cousin and her family (which includes 3 kids!!) and her mom and dad. Sadly Mom NOR my brother (which the bf is very fond of) is not going. But its all good. I think this time alone (8hr drive in the car..cramped legs for sure..but THATs another story) will be good for the both of us. I believe this will give us a glimpse of what it will be like to be around each other 24/7. So Im excited! So July is pretty eventful so far. I know this post is all about the bf...but hey, he's become a big part of my life (who would of thought that possible???) But I am so thankful that he is...Stay tuned...
