I have got to learn...

...that things do not have to be done as soon as they come into my mind. I am getting myself so worked up over things that are not worth getting worked up over. I let myself get so disappointed. I wear myself out. I have got to learn that worrying about things will get me nowhere. I have got to learn that I am not a screwup. I work very hard and wear my heart on my sleeve. I do things out of the goodness of my heart. I am a good person. I have got to learn that criticizing others about things in their life only makes me insecure and look stupid. I have got to learn to be more accepting of people's flaws. I don't want to lower my expectations of people, but I shouldn't be so quick to announce what those expectations are. I have got to learn to eliminate my distractions. I have got to learn that the more I worry about what others are saying behind my back or think about our situation, the more unhappy I will be. I have got to learn that God will take care of things the way they are meant to be taken care of.

I still have a lot to learn

Things Are Coming Together

Things haven't exactly been ideal this year, but we've survived.

1. New Years Eve, the the cops got called for a noise ordinance.
2. January 5, my boss decided to jump on her menstrual cycle, and let me go.
3. January 8 was the 2 year mark of my dad being gone.
4. I waited 3 weeks to find a job I wanted.
5. Tyler got a speeding ticket. And basically was a victim of racial profiling.

But hey, we're here and still going. Things are starting to shape up. I have a job I enjoy, Tyler is still doing what he loves. It's great!!

And the best news: We are both going back to school. Tyler starts next month and I'll start back in August. He has his school over half paid for in grants and his company is paying for the rest. Pretty freakin sweet!! I'm qualified for grants as well, but I'm having to inch my way back in, seeing as how I go to school 50 miles away from where I live.

But anyway, really liking how things are going. Next month is gonna be really hectic, but we'll get through it like everything else :)

On a final note: I'M VERY PROUD OF MY HUSBAND!!!
