Flu Season on Steroids

So it's been a while.. I'm sorry. All of us here.. and I mean all of us, have been ill with the flu. It's like it's on steroids this season. Then there's me with my cracked immune system. It hasn't been much fun at all.

Kayla and I have both been looking for jobs, and her son Jabari was diagnosed with a double ear infection the other day when he saw the doctor. That poor kid.

On a lighter note, things aren't all bad. I am about to file my tax return... and then I am going to hopefully get a job, and I will get to England in November... I've become determined. Tyler has arranged to move out of his parent's house, finally... he'll be making the official move on Wednesday. I'm so happy for him, he's needed away from his parents for years.

My head's been kinda foggy with all this flu bug going around, so I don't really know what to write... been sleeping a lot, and I was going into hot and cold flashes today... hopefully I'll get over it soon, as well as everyone else here.

Kayla and I have been running around Hattiesburg nonstop for a long time to find this certain yarn... I am making a scarf for Tyler, and I want to send it to him for Valentine's Day, I started it, and ran out of yarn, so off we went on a quest to find it.. the store I originally got it from was fresh out, so we went to every possible store we could go to to find this certain yarn... leave it to me to pick out the most impossible to find yarn in town. We even went to a yarn specialty store in another town.. they didn't have it either. It's ridiculous!! So we went back to the orignal store today and they had 4 bundles of it, so I grabbed all 4. I wasn't gonna get stuck on it again, considering February is fast approaching.

Fun adventures!!!

Hopefully I'll be over this bug soon and able to type out a decent post... Until then...

Stay classy, San Diego!

Looking Forward to 2009

So another year has come and gone. It seems like the grown-ups were always right when I was a kid... the years do fly by a lot faster as you get older. I hate to imagine how fast they'll be going 10 years from now!!

Last year held alot of 'adventures' for me... from a complete mental breakdown, to almost going homeless, (which I didn't, thankful for the family I have =]) to finding who I'm 99.9999999% sure is my soul mate, to moving across the country. It's been quite a year.

As many bad things happened to me in 2008... I'll never want to forget it because the good things that happened to me outweigh the bad, by far. I've been given a chance to start over, and I've been given some wonderful people to start over with. Of course I will never ever forget the people I know that have stuck by me through everything.

It's true, that line from the movie "Hitch"... "Life isn't how many breaths you take.. but the moments that take your breath away."

The faster the years go by, the shorter I realize life really is, and the more I want to live it. I've had a few people tell me that going to England to spend the Holidays with Tyler this year probably isn't a good idea... and they have good reason to worry, but how am I to know if I don't take a chance? I mean... sure... something bad COULD happen... but if I don't take that risk.. I could miss out on the best experience of my life.

I've had some truly great people in and out of my life, and I'll never forget anything. Even the bad things that have happened to me have pointed me in the direction to where I am now, and I couldn't wish for anything better.

“Sing like no one's listening, love like you've never been hurt, dance like nobody's watching, and live like its heaven on earth.” ~Mark Twain
