I just have to say that I love life. I had a great weekend, one of the best I've had in a while. I hung out with old friends and new ones. I did not have to work or run rescue which made it even better for me. I had a whole weekend to myself and I enjoyed it. I also met someone who knows my worth. I can tell he is going to be a great friend to have and I'm excited. The one thing about my friends is they know that I am going to keep it real. I don't sugarcoat and I'm honest. If you like me great, if you don't oh well. I'm not going to cry tears over you. This new friend, could tell in less than 24 hours that I am worth it, I won't hold back and I will call his bullshit. I do and I did. He didn't mumble under his breath or make little underhanded comments. It was nice to be out with people who made me feel good about myself. Great friends do that. No friend should make me not feel good about myself. I guess, I should rephrase. It was great to be with people who didn't make me feel unsure or like they were talking about me or thinking evil things. All of my friends should do that and if they aren't then they are not really my friends. Guess it makes me ask the same thing everyone else in my life has asked me, why are you friends with him? Well, let me say, most likely not for long. I have new friends, better friends, who know that I am worth a lot more than some like to give me credit for and I can tell we will be in each others' lives for a while.
Here is to the weekends of the summer that were great, enjoyable and make me smile when Monday morning rolls around and I don't want to see it. I'm so excited for the time I get to spend with the new people, I don't know what to do. Too bad I'm missing them this weekend coming up, but soon we will be back together hanging out again. I can just tell. :)

A reason...
You know those people who come into your life just when you need them and you wonder what you would have done if you never met them? I have a friend like that. Came into my life as Kevin and I were getting worst and worst and growing apart day by day. He was like a knight in shining armor. He saved me from an unhappy miserable marriage. We hung out, went to dinner a few times, a comedy club, ice skating, only as friends. He respected what I was going through and that although I was unhappy, I was still married. He dealt with Kevin calling and texting him. He dealt with Kevin blaming him for our divorce. He dealt with all the drama I told him about and all the drama Kevin included him in. He was a great gentleman and a great friend for me at that time.
Now, don't get me wrong, we currently still talk. Our friendship has changed from the good ole days of when I first met him. We don't hang out AT ALL! No more dinner and just being stupid and care free together. I guess he can't really handle all of that in his life like he used to. We don't text as much. I'm still there for him and he is there for me to an extent. It seems our friendship was stronger. I went away to Germany and came back and it hasn't been the same since. I'm not sure we will ever go back to the days of just being us and hanging out. I guess it was one of those he was there at the time I needed him and I was there at the time he needed me. A reason friendship. But no matter what, GOD knew I needed him and he put him in my life. Now we'll see how much work he'll put in to stay in my life. I've put in work but will he? Only time will tell.

A little of everything
It was so much easier to keep up with my blog when I was unemployed. Now I am constantly working, going to meetings, volunteering and going out sometimes with friends.
My personal life has not been all sunshine and happy. I'm going through some difficult times and let me tell you, my friends are the best. They sit and listen to me moan and vent and some offer advice, some just let me be. Some tell me to shut up so I just don't talk to them for a few days or weeks. Haha.
I am excited that it is March and that means March Madness. I love my college basketball and have it on as I am typing away to you.
I see my friends having babies and I hope that is me one day. I always thought that I'd be planning on that in my late 20s but now I see it will be my early 30s. I love kids but I know what I want and need to bring a baby into this world. I would like to say Congratulations to all of my friends that do have a baby and I hope you and your families are doing well.
Back to me. I still love volunteering and I am loving my job. I do not enjoy working with all of the women I do and I have nicknamed three of them the Mean Girls. Why? Because they act like they are in middle school and are mean. They start so much drama it is not even funny. But I love my job. I don't know if they think I'm going to run because they mention all the time how they can't keep anyone in the position. Little do they know, I've been dealing with petty people like them my whole life and probably will until I die. They won't affect me anymore than the others and I will conquer and survive them. It's funny too because they start drama with people and then talk about each other behind their backs. Some friends.
I am excited that I will be going to Germany in May. Not my first time overseas but my first time in Germany. I am praying hard that I have a safe trip, especially since ya'll know I hate flying. I was hoping that I'd be going on this trip with the person who encouraged me to apply. I'm not but I'll be sure to bring back an awesome gift.
I'm making a goal again to lose weight and eat better. I've really been working out and although I've noticed a slight loss of weight, I'm hoping it turns into more because I made a bet that I plan on winning. I don't know what exactly will be bet but we will see.
I've really been expanding my friendships and one of my newer ones is really quite a surprise. We have a lot in common, not so much at the same time and I like to think we make each other better. It's a time in each of our lives where we need each other but I hope that we stay in each other's lives for a lifetime and not a reason or a season.
I have an adorable niece who I love and I wish I lived closer to her. I'm sure for as little as I get to see her, she knows that I love her. Once again, I can't wait for my own but that will be in a few more years.
I know I've been all over the place with this post but it was just a few things I had to get off of my chest. I hope I'll be back to writing more than what I have over the past few months. Here is to an amazing 2012 with lots of challenges and obstacles but I am a survivor and I'll overcome.
xoxo

Well, since my last post first let's say Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed all of their holidays. Today is MLK Day. What did you do to celebrate?
I am now released as an EMT-B in Virginia Beach. I love running duties and I have a great partner who I love running with. Life is so much simpler when we go to calls because we don't have to necessarily talk to one another to get all of the information from the patient and we each do something that together adds up as a whole.
I wish I knew everyone that looked at this. Some people I don't mind sharing the information with but others I do.
The end of last year, beginning of this year has been something. Let's just say I am being optimistic and this is my adventure year. Everything is an adventure, including my phone jumping in the toilet on the second day of the year! Haha only me. But let me tell you, the rice did work. It took a nap for 2 days and is back up and running now.
I wanted to stop in and say hi. I need to not be so forgetful and I need to really keep up in my writing. I know I will need it this year. All I ask, is that you read this, support me, pray for me and enjoy. This year will talk even more about my trials and tribulations and you may see me struggle with me faith. I try not to, but some days are better than others. I will persevere and make it through and so will you. Together we are going to make it.
Cheers to 2012 and here is to making it better than last year. Enjoy your adventures because I am hoping you get to enjoy mine and learn something new!
