Growth

A think a new leaf has been turned over.

I have a therapist now - just someone to help me figure some stuff out in my head. I'm kind of looking forward to it.

I want mine and Drew's life together to be everything we can imagine. I don't want my insecurity to hold us back from all the joy and excitement that can be ours. I want to grow.

The Man I'll Marry

God, help me to be exactly what he needs.
He's so good to me, simply wants me to be happy.
Help me to embrace every moment I have with him.
Teach me to understand him & be a support for him.
Teach me to be patient & slow to anger.
Help us to grow together as one.
Build our house like a strong tree by a river.
Build a binding love that will never be broken.

Amen.

Time

... have been trying to relish the small things in life. Getting worked up over fleeting drawbacks is a flaw of mine.

I realize that if I use every hour of my day wisely that life is very full. It's not simply work, it's not simply school; I can fill it with everything I've ever wanted or wanted to do, it's simply up to me to use my time wisely.

Next lesson to be learned : enjoy every hour of life.

My Profile Picture

I realize I am so small. And the world is so big.

I should embrace it and do my best to take it all in.

Never let life pass you by.

Living the Dream

I live in Houston! Moved here in May after I finished the Spring semester at Blinn. Everything is going according the plan.

In fact, I am engaged! I said I wouldn't be alone forever and I was right.

This blog will now be a "Thought of the Day" sort of blog. Very simple but sweet.

Hope you all enjoy.

I Did It

Passed my last test, doing a lot better with tables and talking to the guests.
I had a meeting at University of Houston with the undergraduate advisor for the degree I'm wanting. I'm super excited and I really want to go for this and accomplish it! They have loads of internships to Australia and New Zealand - I can't believe it. Also, I'm totally getting set up to move to Houston. This job at Eccell pretty much gaurantees me a good job when I go to school. I'll be able to live on my own, hopefully on campus and have plenty of money to not feel stressed about cost of iving while I work on school.

But for now I will take a Winter semester class at Blinn and go to Blinn in the Spring as well. The plan is to transfer to UH next Fall. So, hopefully, this time next year I'll be living in Houston! I think it's going to be amazing and I keep realizing I'm not behind in life, like I used to think. It's taken all these things and all these experiences to get me to this point. God uses everything to get us where we're meant t be so I'm not going to complain anymore or say I'm old anymore or say I'm behind. I AM EXACTLY WHERE I'M SUPPOSED TO BE.

I'm so happy. I know life is going to be amazing. And I know I won't always be alone, either.

Wine

So, I've begun a new job - Eccell Steakhouse. I'm a server and it's very intimidating; the memorization is tough. Right now I am learning which wines we offer by the glass. There are 31 and I have to know the name of th producer, the varietal and where it's from! That is so much information.

Champagne:
Kenwood - California

Riesling:
St. M - Germany

Pinot Grigio:
Colterenzio - Italy
Lagaria - Italy

Sauvignon Blanc:
Hall - California
Hess - California

Chardonnay:
Geode (pronounced JEE-ODE) - Santa Barbara County, California
Hess Su'skol - California

Those are the ones I have memorized so far. :D
