Gearing up...

...for this weekend festivities!! Ashley's bachelorette party is finally here! (well tomorrow) Thanks to Libby, Steph and Mere for putting everything together. The cake, the hotel, dinner and then hittin' uptown with a huge group of lovely ladies! It's going to be a blast and I can't wait! We are bound to get into some kind of trouble! ;-) hopefully not too much though!

Puerto Rico is right around the corner! And I am SUPER DUPER pumped! Steph and I leave Wednesday morning and will arrive in P/R in the early/late evening. I am so relived to know that I will not be traveling alone. Ashley, Dan and several other people in the bridal party are on the same flight. Charli and Josh leave Thursday and wont get in till 6pm. I have been keeping track of the weather in P/R and it's been raining everyday and the forecast says its going to be raining the entire week that we are there. I hope its not raining when we land. The weather here will be fine, but I cant say the same for P/R. I have xanax to help with the panic attacks in case I get too nervous. Unfortunately, I will be traveling alone for the return flight home. EECCCK! I have xanax for that too. AND my flight is not a straight flight home. I have one stop in Miami, FL. I have to actually get off the plane and onto another plane and there is a two hour layover. (or whatever it is they call it) Since I have never traveled this far alone, I figured I'd rather fly to P/R with people and figured I would be okay flying back alone. But the more I think about it, the more I think it was just a bad idea to think I could fly alone. I barely get around the DFW airport alone, I dont know how I'm going to manage to get around alone in some airport that I'm not even familiar with! Just thinking about it makes me so scared and I might just end up crying in the middle of the airport. I keep trying to tell myself that I have to be adult about this and that I can do this... but then a little voice in the back of my head tells me I can't. I'm 26 years old and Im terrified to fly. I have all my paper work to come back in to the US so thats not a problem. I dont know what I'll do if something awful happens and I cant get back in! But hopefully nothing bad will happen and everything will run smoothly. Hopefully luck will be on my side. But other than that, I only see good things coming from this trip! Everyone is so excited for Dan and Ashley. I cant wait to see my friend walk down the aisle to marry her best friend! I am so happy for both of them to have found each other.

Once we get back from P/R its full throttle for planning Charlotte's wedding! I am looking forward to helping Charli plan her special day! Along with Charli's wedding I also have SEVERAL other weddings that I have to attend as well. It's pretty much non stop wedding till the end of the year for me. I thought last year was hectic....I was wrong...this year trumps last year by far! Maybe some day I'll be planning my wedding. But I dont see that happening ANYTIME soon! oh wells! Such is life. 

There are always consequences when dating or hooking up with mutual friends of friends. Or just dating in general. Dating really sucks! Especially when everyone you meet is so completely broken just as much as you are. I don't understand why someone has to be shady. I have a past and I have secretes. But at least Im honest about it. I'm not an open book, but Im not shady about it either. I feel like I keep having to repeat myself....All I ask of someone is to communicate with me! Is it really that hard? I know it wasn't easy for me in the past to communicate and Im understanding about that, but we are adults. We aren't in high school, we aren't in our early 20's anymore and I am not here to play games or here for just a 'good time'. I've already done all that. I know what I'm looking for, I know what I want and I know what I deserve. I'm a really nice, laid back and down to earth kind of girl. But if you piss me off too many times, I have no problem just walking away! 
Just. Sayin'. :)

Cultivating relationships

Maintaining relationships demands effort; it's a mutual journey. Each party contributes, and amidst this exchange, bonds form—be it friendships or deeper connections. Some relationships necessitate more investment; sometimes, it feels like you're carrying the weight alone, striving to sustain the connection. Personally, I've struggled with nurturing friendships; perhaps due to youthful ignorance, where life felt boundless, consequences seemed distant, and self-centeredness prevailed. As age brings maturity, many friendships naturally drift away amid life's chaos and the challenges of adulthood. Reflecting on my past interactions often astonishes me; how did I manage any healthy relationships back then? Truthfully, I didn't. Those who I once considered friends, or who considered me as such, have vanished, leaving behind only fragmented memories—thanks, memory loss. Although forgetfulness might seem a blessing, the impressions we leave behind persist. This notion unne...
Made it into 2025 injury-free—well, mostly! 😆 Besides the usual aches and pains (and that one time I threw my back out, but we’re not counting that—that’s just seasoned wisdom kicking in). On the bright side, my diabetes is well under control! My latest doctor’s appointment went great—numbers are low, bloodwork looks good, and I just need to keep moving forward. Meanwhile, the hubby is down with the flu, so he’s quarantined in the bedroom while I’ve taken over the couch. Work has been hectic. We’ve been short a recruiter, which means more work on my plate. We finally hired someone new, but she’s still in training. She seems nice—quieter than the rest of us, but then again, our little group is a bit on the weird side. On the fun side, I got a new tattoo—matching with my bestie! 💉✨ And now, I’m seriously considering a septum piercing. Call it a midlife crisis if you want, but I say, why not do it while I still can? I haven’t spent much time at the barn this year. Then again, t...
I’m really struggling with watching my parents grow older. My mom’s memory has declined a lot, and walking has become difficult for her. She’s not active anymore—she mostly stays at home, only doing small chores around the house. She has very little motivation to do anything beyond that. My dad takes care of so much for her, and I try to keep her going by spending time with her, but our conversations feel so different now. As for my dad, his health is okay—not great, but manageable. I’ve mentioned before how hard it is to watch him face the physical limitations that come with age. He’s always been the kind of dad who could do it all—fix anything, carry anything, help with anything. He’s been my rock, always there to support me. I don’t think he ever imagined he’d still be helping his 40-year-old daughter with Jeep mods—but knowing him, I’m sure he secretly loves it. My dad and I are both facing new health challenges right now. I’m scared—but thankfully, mine isn’t life-threatening, as...
