Sooooo, how do we know what we are living is really real?
I mean, we could all be dreaming and stuck in a tub of goo with probes coming out of our bodies like Neo in The Matrix (which I hate and am forced to watch RIGHT NOW since the hubby found it on tv) OR maybe none of this is real and we are all characters in a book! I love this idea. It is a prevalent theme in The Dark Tower series by Stephen King (who is my all time favorite author!(does he have a blog??)).
I honestly don't think any of these things mentioned above are happening. I'm not really that deep or philosophical.
But a scary thought is what if The Matrix has it all right????? In the movie, once you are woken up from your gooey slumber, you can't go back to your dream state. You have to live FOR REAL! Confusing? A little. Ok, a lot. But they sleep in cells (it looks like prison cells) and wear rags for clothing. How dreary and depressing. If my life is only a dream then I do not EVERRRRR want to wake up! I love my life!!! Maybe that sounds corny or you might even be thinking, "how can this girl be so happy and positive all the time?". Well, I keep a readily available supply of wine and books and sunflower seeds. What else does a girl need? (Besides a great pair of shoes?!)
Ok, its late and I am rambling. I'm really not even sure this blog makes sense. I will reread it in the morning and see if it is worth keeping on this site or if it is totally nuts and a waste of your time. If it is a waste, then I will delete it promptly.
Goodnight friends!

Babies, babies and more babies....
So, my cousin Mel and her husband Samuel are having TWINS! And let me mention that they are some of the best people I know; they are kind, considerate, deeply faithful and absolutely hilarious!!!
Now this pregnancy is a big deal but for more than just the obvious reason of being pregnant in the first place. They have been trying to get pregnant for a few years now but it just wasn't in the cards for pregnancy to happen without help. They have gone through some tough stuff here lately but they are now successfully pregnant and with TWO babies, not just one! This is such a blessing for the whole family. Mel is not the first grandkid to have a baby in our family but she is the first one who lives close enough the we will actually be able to see these kiddos and have a relationship that consists of more than the mandatory holiday exchange.
I can not express how excited I am for Mel and Samuel. They will, without a doubt, be amazing, compassionate parents.
But its not just my family having babies. It seems like EVERYONE on Facebook is pregnant or has recently had a baby. Babies, babies, babies. I have babies on the brain! All this baby stuff going around makes me want one!!!
But I think I will just babysit Mel's when they get here and maybe that will fix my baby fever! Hopefully!!!
(My husband and I are not planning on having any kids for another couple of years.)
Until next time.....

A whole YEAR!?!
Has it really been that long since my last post?? Well, yes. And here is why...
2010 included:
1. Planning my wedding
2. Building our house
3. finishing my last semester of college
4. Working
5. Starting a new, much more difficult job
6. Moved into the new house
7. Got married
8. Thanksgiving
9. Christmas
Seriously. I feel like I am FINALLY able to sit down and breathe! This last year has been the most amazing, stressful and joyous year of my life! But I swear I have never been so exhausted. Now I am married and settled into the new house and getting used to my new job.
Life is really great right now.
The scary thing about life being so amazing (and it has been this great for the last year, at least) is that it has to come back down at some point. Now, don't go calling me a pessimist. I am only being realistic. Things can not stay great forever; its only natural for life to have peaks and valleys. I have accepted this as unavoidable therefore I choose to live my life to the fullest, avoid drama and bullshit if at all possible and love those around me as much as I am capable and LET THEM KNOW!!!
So, I am sorry for being gone so long! I am hoping to write regularly on this blog and keep my dearly devoted readers (hopefully) amused. But more importantly I hope I can always make clear the importance of living life every single day and ENJOYING IT! Life is good, if you let it be. Choose the positive. Ignore the drama. See the good in others. But above all, be honest. With others and with yourself.
Have a good night and I will write again soon!
