AGGHHH!!! GREATNESS!!

I woke up at 550 am today, made my husband a lunch for work and HIT THE GYM FOR TWO HOURS with Lynnie!

I feel fantastic! ya know, we all ate non-stop this weekend be it that Thanksgiving was amazing!!

and too many pieces of pie on too full of a stomach doesnt help either..

So I am setting a goal this week-- to eat right and PT!! I can do this!

So my weekend was amazing..

So many things to talk about but most importantly..

I got trashed with my sister-in-law..

Which lead to some good bonding i think..

Great conversation all night (from what I can remember)

I probably shared too much, but I have no regrets !!

It's great to get to know her, I am so thankful for the crazy events of that night..

and my wonderful hubby that was our DD :o)

which- I did not return the favor the following night due to being a waist of hung over space, but Libby had his back! (THANX LIBBY! :o) )

I'm just feeling so optimistic about this day and this week!

Lord, give me the strength to stay on track, find my patience and be a loving person to those who love me. I know I have troubles sometime with my actions, but I pray that you will give me the strength and guidance this week to preserver thru the side tracks and stay focused on that tasks at hand!

Thanksgiving...

What a wonderful time to spend with your family.

At dinner dad (Danny's dad) asked us all to share what we were thankful for...

I was the last to share, and knew I would choke up- I was thankful for the choices I have made in life, the people I've met and all the roads I took to have me sitting right here in the home of my husbands parents.. As I teared up, choked up and mumbled thru the rest of my thankfulness I hope the message was properly shown ... I am so thankful for the wonderful job Mike and Mary Sherer did of raising such an incredible man. Who makes me want to be a better person and lights up my life.. The whole family truly is a blessing to be a part of.

I'm very thankful for my family as well. My mother has the biggest heart (sometimes haha) with so much talent. I am very proud of her for making steps in the right direction!

Dad and Diane and Brian all played amazing rolls in my life helping me thru tuff teens and setting me up for success.. If if it wasnt for all 4 of my I wouldn't be able to do half the things in life that I have...

I love you all..

And Happy Thanksgiving!

Island Boy by Kenny Chesney

So while driving to church on Sunday morning by myself... I was pondering the future plans of my life.

I don't know why we've decided we are settling down already?

I know Danny feels like he has been away from home for too long, and I'd hate to think that I will be pulling him away from home...

But at the same time.. we have the rest of our lives to "grow old and raise a family"

But right now-- at 25 years old, with no children, no real debt, and 2 1/2 educations between the two of us.. why aren't we out there exploring the world?

I want to live on a tropical island, I want to visit the glaciers of Alaska, I want to live out of a suite case for a year- or back pack thru Ireland for a few mths..

I think people get comfortable and want to settle down, naturally.. and "plant some roots"

But as I was driving to church it dawned on me... That's NEVER been what I wanted...

I want to be a nomad.. I want to travel, rest, pick up and move again!

I don't want all this stuff right now... We don't need it all right now..

So here's my idea.. We take a storage container- pack up ALL our stuff, and head out for a few years.. :o)

Just gotta make sure the husband is on board!

But we'll see----

feelin' fat-- NOT phat...

The winter blues is really kicking in these past few mths..

I seem to be at a constant rate of weight gain, and not seeing any self control to do something about it, or stop it.

People say, "well, you were probably a lot more active in the Marine Corps- so you gained weight bcuz you got out..."

well- sorry to burst your little bubble, but i was NOT active. my shop didn't go PT all the time, and I don't think a lot else has changed.

Aside from the fact that I'm a year older-- and my metabolism has gone down .. that is the only really effect that is playing here..

I really outta do somthing..

Between feeling fat, flabby, my hair color isnt what i want, my hair is fried (that was my doing :o( ) and i'm super pale...

Not feelin' very sexy..

Gotta get outta this rut..

gotta do something..

gotta go somewhere...

need a change...

wanna move...

far far away..

leave all this junk behind..

on that note- how the hell did I aquire so much junk????

o well- tomorrow is a new day :o)

and I'm going to try and start it at 0545 at the gym.. HA- we'll see.

Besaid Island - Final Fantasy X - Original Sound track (look it up)

The rain often calms the nerves. Not that I'm nervous, but it's an instinctive thing I believe. I woke up and realized it was drizzling outside, and I instantly felt calm but yet inscrutable.

Haven't blogged it for a while, I wonder why that is? Does the change of season make a person feel less "thought conscience"

This qtr is almost over. Working as much as I can at the new spa.. I like it alright. There woman that work their are pretty rad. Everyone has this down to earth side of them, where "being chill" is the atmosphere. I love that side of it. Just like any job, it gets "AGH!" sometimes but it's pretty awesome no matter what's going on.

Taking 3 classes next qtr, hopefully it will prepare me more for business mngmnt. But we'll see.

Headed to Chelan for Thnxgiving, coming home the night of black Friday.. Hopefully all the crazy Seattlites will be out shopping and NOT driving thru the mtns when we are!

Purchased our snowboarding season passes to www.stevenspass.com so we are pretty stoked about that- its forecasted to be a cRaZy WiNtEr! *crosses fingers*

I woke up this morning with that taste of being "hung over" in my mouth.... But I didn't drink last night?? Weird.

I'm not feeling very insightful.

My brother is thinking about coming out here for Christmas.. that would be super awesome, seeming how he couldn't make it out here for the wedding...

So *fingers crossed* I hope he pulls it together and finds his way out here...

I think I'm moody.

Short fuze...

Irritable lately...

*shrug* eh- o well.

I'll live.

I have to clean the how now.

Bye.

sudden bliss

so- ever have those days.. you're just sitting there, and a wave of happiness rushes over you??
I'm just sitting here at work, chatting with Kell Bell and all of a sudden I am feeling super giddy and happy, I just want to run up to everyone I know and hug 'em ..
weird.
I miss my hubby. He's at school. I will see him tonight, but that doesn't change the fact that right now we are not together..
I am so proud of him and the things he's doing, and the places he's going to go. It's nice to be married to such a hard worker- he motivates me to try and keep up with him.
I went an saw my class advisor today and picked out the classes for nest qtr. I'm going to be talking 3 of them, and super excited, it's just more steps I'm taking in order to open up my spa..
Solas Anam Salon & Spa...

some day- it will be mine.. o yes, it will be mine...
