Two Sides.

I think it's pretty crazy that there is ALWAYS another side to a story.
It seems like nothing is ever just clear. There is always someone who didn't see something, exaggerated about it, or just plain lied.
And its so crazy that the things you say, could somehow be something that is taken so wrong by the receiver.
I am not good about keeping my lips shut, sometimes. And I can only imagine how many times I have said something and unknowingly pissed someone off, hurt them, or just offended them.
With humans all stemming from the exact same place, it amazes me how different we all are. How different we see things. Our likes, our pet-peeves, our goals.
And its especially crazy when the people "closest" to you have no clue about your views, likes, or background. Makes for an awkward get-together sometimes.

But we deal.

Sorry

to my very best friend, ashley nichole.
please forgive my absence at your birthday bash tonight.
i can make excuses all day, but the bottom line is this:
i am pooped.
i worked a 16 hour shift.
i am home now. but the thought of standing for even 6 more minutes is mentally overwhelming.
in the middle of my shift, i thought to myself...no matter what, i am going to that damn party
because i love you that much
and that's the truth.
i love you more than a blog can convey.
but somewhere in that second half of my shift...my mind was no longer capable of making rational thoughts
and now that i am home, i will stay here.
because i know that if i go all the way to where ever you are, i will only be a party-pooper.
considering my state.
so, please just do me a favor and love me.
even after tonight.
because i would have loved to have been there.
and i feel awful that i am in my bed instead.
awful...but somehow simultaneously relieved.
night, my darling friend.
and happy (early) birthday.
hope you had a blast.

Debt

So...I'm up late...as usual.
Just going over finances.
Our dreams are seeming more and more out of reach when we really crunch the numbers.
So I am sitting here, trying to make a plan to effectively pay off our debt...once and for all.
I am excited but also discouraged.
It seems so distant...
But I know we can do it.
I have been doing so much better about not spending money. I found not one, not two, but three pairs of shoes that I loved today but I didn't buy a single one...because I am thinking of the bigger picture.
We are going to make it. I just need to stay positive and focused.

Besides, I have the best Husband ever. With him, anything is possible.

Lets take a journey.

Wow. Still only 2 followers on this dreadful blog?
Wahh waaaahhh waaaaahhhhh.
Oh well. I don't care...because guess what, world!!
Cory and I am about to rock your socks off!
We have a new plan. A new adventure.
A new journey to begin.
Soon. But certainly not soon enough.
I can't give the deets at this moment...wanna keep my lovely two blog followers on their toes (totally kidding, considering the only followers I have are my best friends and they know EVERYTHING about my life).
So, I guess I am actually gonna zip the lips since I can't trust these internet fools that might try to swipe my idea.
You will all soon see.
And I hope like hell it all works out. But the beauty is, even if it doesn't... it will all be okay. Because I got my babe, my friends and my family. And that's all I need.
