Life
If someone had told me one year ago that I would be living in Arbuckle with an incredible boyfriend who I am head over heels in love with I would have fallen over laughing. But no doubt it's all true. Brian and I now live in Arbuckle, CA. He bought a beautiful house and we have made it a home! Our 2 dogs LOVE the 1/2 acre yard, and we'll love it more when it's landscaped instead of mud =)! But one thing at time right! Anyways I guess my point is things really do work out the way they are supposed to! I LOVE my life! I don't think I have ever been happier!

Disappointed in California
I have to say I am extremely disappointed in the state of California that we would go backwards and once again begin discriminating against a group of people because they are different from us. I received this email today from my Aunt and I think more people should read it
"This is great. Picked it up off of a blog."
""
""I would like to say as a 7th generation California I am disgusted with the voters of California who seem to think it is their right to determine the civil rights of others. To those of you who voted for this I ask you to put down your bibles for a minute and imagine how you would feel to have others tell you that you do not deserve the same rights as others. Yes, quit waiving your bible in my face (I know what it is and what it really says because I read it everyday!) and imagine how you would feel if you woke up one morning and you were told that you were not allowed to marry because someone else decided that their interpretation of God told them it was not valid. I am again going to say that I am completely disgusted by the people who have kidnapped my state and my faith and turned them both into something they were never intended to be. Yes, you with the bibles, I seriously doubt that Jesus is up in heaven dancing in the streets as you are down here. Instead I would imagine his head hung low and tears streaming down his face. His tears are for you and your horrible misinterpretation of his message of inclusiveness and love. Do you know what Jesus has to say about Gays and Lesbians? Nothing, that's right absolutely nothing. There is not one single word about marriage only being between a man and a woman or anything else pertaining to homosexuals attributed to Jesus in the New Testament. I have always had such a love for the state of my birth and so many generations of my family and now I too am crying for what has happened there and in other states of this country. Many of you are the same people who are out there patting yourselves on the back to be so unprejudiced as to elect the 1st African American President. But you are not so unprejudiced as to let 2 adult people get married just because they are different from you. Shame on you 52.5% of the voters. Shame on you for writing descrimination into the constitution.""

Life. . .
So as I lay in bed tonight I realize that life really is a journey! You cannot worry about the destination you have to just enjoy the ride! No one and nothing is ever what it seems good or bad. Life is not black and white it is many varying shades of gray and it is up to you and you alone to see what's important.
Remember to live each day to its fullest because you can never have today back.
Yes there are days when "life sucks" but you know what in the end it just makes you a stronger person.
Everything you experience good and bad makes you who you are! Learn from your mistakes and be the catalyst of your future.
The only people you need in your life are the people who prove they need you in theirs!

Contentment. . .
Its such a strange thing. Some days it seems completely attainable other days it seems completely out of reach. I guess you need to always remember to take things one day at a time because when it comes down to it that is all we KNOW we have.
In reality however the hardest thing for me is being single at 22(23 in 5 days). I had never imagined that being the way things would turn out. Not that I would change anything about the way my life has turned out this far. I have become a stronger person than I ever imagined I would be. But at the sametime when I watch my friends and their boyfriends or husbands I can't help but feel a twinge of jealously at what they have found.
I do realize that all in good time I will find the person I am meant to be with but for the time being I need to focus on school and the other important things in my life. Besides a healthy relationship is two whole people walking side by side not two half people becoming one.

Its hard to believe that no matter how much you may think you know someone the things they are capable of will still continue to shock you. Being a person that falls head over heels in love is an amazing thing however if you get involved with the wrong person it can be terribly detrimental to both parties involved.
I guess the best thing you can learn is no matter what your heart tells you always keep your eyes open. I have found that "love really is blind" so make sure you always take into account the feelings of those around you because nine times out of ten they will see things you are incapable of seeing.
Its important to remember never let yourself become jaded but at the same time always fall in love leading with your head.

The End Of An Era
Closure its such a strange thing. I recently saw the definite end to a relationship I would have been forever wondering "what if" about. As I sat in the airport and cried I realized that somethings just aren't meant to be. There are things in our life that will never be. And after so long apart people change and grow and its not always in the same direction.
And as much as you may wish for what you once had it is possible it will never be again.
As they say people come into your lives for a reason a season or a lifetime and now after much contemplation all I can say is thank you for being in my life for a reason you taught me how to love and allowed me a safe place to grow. I will always love you and I wish you nothing but the best.

"The fate of your heart is your choice no one else gets a vote"
I found this quote a couple weeks ago and I have realized over the past month the truth to this statement and not just in correlation with everyone else. Sometimes just with yourself. There are times in life when you're head and you're heart will tell you two different things an it is at these times in your life when you must take the time to decide what the correct decision is. People always tell you to follow your heart but I am not going to lie your heart can decieve you! However at the same time you can't follow you're head because love isn't completely rational. So what do you do you may ask? Well you listen to your intuition as a woman this is very strong thing and if you're willing to listen it will always give the "correct" answer.
As we grow up we must realize that you are responsible for yourself and following your intution will allow you to live your life to the fullest potential. You can't worry about the opinions of others and as much as you should avoid causing others any pain you must ultimately be true to yourself because in the end that is the only way you can truly be proud of yourself and the person you become.
