A Little Late

I started this but didn't publish it on Friday...So I'm a tad late on phone pic Friday.

Dinah's anniversary was really hard this year.  I really struggled on whether it is normal to be so sad after six years.  I felt guilty for being sad.  Like I should just get over it, move on.  But, just because it's been six years, that doesn't make her any less dead.  Time doesn't make the scar on my heart any less present.  I don't think I realized how much having my friends there for me every September 17th meant to me until I didn't have them there. Spending the days with them loving me was so helpful for me because I think it let me be sad without feeling like I had to check on my family and take care of them.  But my friend group is all grown up now, spread throughout Texas.  I still got to spend the day with my family, which was really special.  Just different.  But I do love my family :)

We went to Casa Ole!
My intern friends from Arizona sent me these! I have wonderful friends <3

We had a Diaper Shower for a co-worker

I tried this new recipe for Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies and I got rave reviews! I will have to post it sometime.

friends spread throughout texas AND other parts of the country ;) it's crazy to me that we've already spent two of these apart. we're getting old too fast! on another note..don't ever feel guity for being sad (or for not being sad). Your emotions will grow with you as you grow and there's nothing wrong with that!

Honestly

I'm a pretty honest person. When I was in elementary school, the teachers at my private school picked a character trait that they thought described each child in their class each year. It was a trait they saw in the child, and they gave our parents a certificate with our name and our chosen character trait. I have four character trait certificates. Three years I received "Honesty." The fourth year I mixed it up a little: "Truthfulness." That being said, I need to be honest for a minute. I think I have a problem with honesty. I know! I was surprised, too, when I realized it. But it's not what you think. So before you start trying to figure out what lies I may have told you, let me explain. You know how you can look back and realize something that happened to you would teach you a lesson one day? There are several moments in my life that helped come to the realization that my elementary school certificates might be invalid... Texas, Fall 2008...

All I Really Want is to be Found

I have done all the right things for all the wrong reasons I have been here before, it seems like time and time again I keep trying to find life in the places life's not found I'm recessitating old flames without thoughts of getting burned It is possible that I Could ever get it right There is nowhere else to go There is no one else to run to All around is quickly fading All I know is You've always been there Always been there, you've always been there Always been there I have seen all the endings to all my sad stories And they leave me alone, everytime its just the same You have fully accepted me with my failures Through the cross of my King, it's your mercy and your grace Is it possible that I Could finally get it right Yesterday has come and gone Everything I thought I had was wrong All I really want is to be found This is what I know, I have nowhere else to go - I have no one else to run to All around is quickly fading - All I have is...
