We're Engaged!

Aubrie popped the question Christmas morning at his parents house in Roanoke, TX. It was a complete surprise to me! I couldn't be more happier! We are so excited to get married and continue our lives together as husband and wife!

Even though we had discussed getting married and Aubrie has already given me a promise ring (aka practice ring) I was not expecting a proposal Christmas morning! When I realized what was going on, I didn't know what to do! Of course I said YES!

Our families are more than excited for both of us. I am super duper excited to be getting more sibling in-laws!

We had a fabulous Christmas with family. We didn't ask a lot in gifts due to fact that we are still trying to get into our new home and do not know what we really need for the house yet. We did what we could this Christmas! It's not about gifts, its about spending time with family.

Ginger is recovering so well and improving everyday with her 3 legs! She still has a lot of learning to do, what she can and cannot do, so far, there is not a lot that she cannot do! We cannot wait to get her back home with us! Our home isn't the same without Ginger.

Our year has been a whirlwind of ups and downs! Thankfully more ups than downs! I can't believe that 2014 is right about the corner. In January we will be official home owners, have our family all together (again) and start planning our wedding!! I foresee lots of wedding planning and parties in our future! I look forward to spending lots of time with family while we plan our special day together!

Future wife to be!

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...

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...

2025

Another year has come and gone, and here I am—mid-January already. Christmas was spent with family, as always. The holidays tend to be chaotic, rushing back and forth across town to visit everyone. 2024 was truly a memorable year for me! So many milestones to reflect on: I turned 40. I participated in two amateur horse shows. I earned my motorcycle endorsement. (I conquered the Twisted Sisters route on my motorcycle!) My brother bought a new house (so proud of him—just waiting for a new sister-in-law now!). I celebrated my 10-year wedding anniversary.  And I hit my 2-year mark with my company. It’s been a year of highs and some lows, but I think the highs outweighed the lows—or maybe I just blocked the lows out entirely (I do have a knack for that, haha!). While my memory isn’t quite where I wish it was, I’ve been making an effort to shake things up and challenge myself with new activities. It feels good to break out of the routine and keep my mind sharp. I’ve started gaming recent...
