I sometimes feel the need to look to other peoples brilliance to express my feelings, for I am incapable of putting them into words. There is no way to express in entirety what I feel about him. Its been 19 months of crazy ups and downs and I still feel like a little girl falling in love for the first time every time I am with him. He is an amazing man and I love him more and more each day. We bring out the best and the worst in each other and somehow find a way to still love each other. So I leave you with some tidbits of greatness to help express how I feel....
~Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.
-Peter Ustinov
*A life lived in love will never be dull.
-Leo Buscaglia
~Why love if losing hurts so much? We love to know that we are not alone.
-C.S. Lewis
*We need not think alike to love alike.
-David Ferenc
~I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.
-Elizabeth Barrett Browning
*Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly.
-Rose Franken
My world has changed so much since I have met Preston and I am loving every minute of it. I really believe that I have found "my other half". He puts up with my "crazy" and I with his lack of communication, we are finding that beautiful balance that not many couples are so lucky to find. The ability each of us has to put up with and look past the flaws in the other only makes us stronger.
So to my love,
I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with you :)

The past few days :D
The past few days I have been nannying a few kids...well not really kids...tweens. I have loved every minute of it. I have also been watching a little boy and girl during the day while the "tweens" are at school. I forgot how much I love and adore being around children. It brings a great sense of joy to my life knowing that I am helping and enriching the lives of others. I think that when I get my car/license back I will most definitely be looking into a sitting job on the side...as well as continuing my work at the golf course. I don't think I could quit there anytime soon. I love the social aspect of it and I adore the old men that come in there to visit with me. They crack me up with all their stories of the "good old days" and their not so subtle perverted comments. They are just freaking hilarious.
I love my life and everyone in it! I could not have asked for a better life or better people to accompany me on this adventurous roller coaster. So to everyone that I have kept around thank you for all that you do and I hope we can have many more memories. And for the ones that have made appearances in my life...whether short term or long term...Whether we were friends or just acquaintances, whether we ended on good or bad terms, I thank you as well. You have all helped shaped me into the person I am and am becoming. All of you have given me valuable lessons and wonderful memories.

Another year...come and gone
As my birthday approaches...yet again, I have been doing some major relflecting on everything that has occured in my life for the past year. I have realized that I am much stronger emotionally than I ever gave myself credit for. I have gone through so many changes all of which I have been able to find the silver lining in.
Its crazy to think that my birthday last year, Preston and I weren't sure if we were right for each other, or if we could make it past all the hurtful things we had done/said to each other. But now we are both so very aware of how lucky we were to have found each other that very odd night back in April of 2009. We really have become so much closer through all of our struggles, and we both have been able to help each other with whatever the other one has come across. Preston is my rock and my shoulder to cry on, he is my other half, and he is the love of my life. I cannot wait to see what this crazy thing called life has in store for us next. All I know is that it will make us stronger both as individuals and as a couple.
Back in April of this year, I got a DUI and I disappointed a lot of people that are close to me and that support me. I lost my license until I turn 21 and I am on probation until December of this year. This was one of the major changes in my life that has helped me to become more positive and always look on the bright side. I learned who will really always be there for me and support me even when I make a mistake. Preston, my family, and the Cook's I thank you for all that you have done for me and all the support that you have shown me these last few months. I also learned that a lot of people who claimed to be my friend....really were just fake, toxic people who I no longer needed in my life. Although losing one of those people made me sad temporarily, I have come to the conclusion that she was never really my friend....I was a friend to her and I was there when she needed me, but the feeling was not mutual. Another silver lining to this incident was that I got to start working full time at the golf course...and next season will more than likely become manager :)
As my birthday comes ever closer...I have bitter sweet feelings. Part of me wants to go back in time so that I can still be a teenager....then reality sets in and I realize that I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. I have the love and support of an amazing man. My family is always there for me through thick and thin. I am finally becoming the person I always wanted to be...with a few minor bumps in the road along the way. With my new attitude and perspective on life though, those bumps in the road will only make me stronger in the long run.
