Life. Up.Date (again)

Where have I been, you ask? I really wish I could tell you. I mean, I know where I've been. I've been BUSY. Life. Is. BUSY! Life. IS. HEC-TIC.So, my life update. Work, work, work work. (Chanel Rihanna) Work, work, work, work, work, workYou see me I be work, work, work, work, work, workYou see me do me dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirtThere's something 'bout that work, work, work, work, work, workWhen you a gon' learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learnMe na care if me tired, tired, tired, tired, tired, tiredAnd those are seriously the lyrics! LOL I had no idea. TIRED yes! I don't even know where to start off. February 21st- a co-worker of mine calls me to tell me her momma french bulldog is pregnant and May 2nd my french bulldog was born! (My new French Bulldog, more details on that LATER!) YAH! May 13th  My sister in law, Emily, graduated from OSU. So proud of her! Poppin' bottles in the parking lot of her college stadium was the highlight of our evening. I took my Husband to a Ranger  Game for his Birthday! It was also dollar hot-dog night! And we had amazing seats! Thanks to my best friend Ski's! My brother in law was home from Colorado for a week in the middle of May, it was good to spend some time with Chase! End of  May I got really sick and ended up in the ER at 3:00am, hooked up to IV's and doing MRI's and CT scans. Just to find out I had a REALLY bad head infection and ear infection. I missed almost a week of work. It took me a few more weeks to recover. But I'm back to normal. June- My cousin in law's son graduated high school. We watched him walk at UNT. Brought back so many memories from my own graduation. June was not a very eventful month. Work and paying bills. July 4th went to the lake house and spent time with Aubrie's family for lunch. We bounced out early though. July 8th I went to the Dallas Dog show! That was a lot of fun and so interesting to see all the different breeds under one roof. Those dog owners are serious about their dogs though! It'a very dog political. And I stalked all the french bulldogs! July 11th I finally got to meet my NEW french bulldog ! Meeting my french bulldog for the very first time! 9 weeks old! The breeder brought him to my work for me to see him and meet him. My mom also came up to meet my frenchie! The breeder also brought some other french bulldogs with her, so she had a total of three french bull dogs with her! I wanted to take all of them! It was heaven! July 20th to the 27th- My 2017 family Vacation to LONDON! Did you say London? Yes I did! London is an amazing city! I can't even describe in words just how grande and magical this city is! The history on this city is just breath taking. Seven days in this city was not even enough to get the full city experience. We were finally figuring out how to use the bus line, the tube, it was time to leave. We took a day tour to Windsor Castle, Bath and Stonehenge. Seeing these places with my own eyes, I couldn't believe it myself. Being at Stoneghenge, my brain couldn't connect that I was actually at one of the 7 wonders of the worlds.  The amazing photographer that I am, I have not uploaded any photos from my travels, except from the few that I have uploaded to snap chat or my Instagram. Traveling with 7 people has its up and downs! But for the most part it was an amazing and fantastic trip of lifetime I will never forget! AND I actually made it on the long haul flight! No serious freak outs. (there was one freak out, but it was minor) I didn't sleep much on the flight TO London, but i def. slept on the flight home! And jet lag is a real thing! This was a vacation from work, and I didn't DO any actual work,  but it was not the type of vacation I would call relaxing. We had something to do EVERY day, something fun but as for naps and being lazy, that was not on our to do list. It was hustle ad bustle all day every day! Go go go! I didn't mind it, but there were times when I just ready for a nap. London is just a romantic, historic and magical place! This was the first time for me experiencing London! I will definitely be back to this amazing busy city!

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...
