My Singin' Legs

These are songs that I don't skip when they start playing... I could listen to these over and over and over again...and I generally do! I Get To Love You - Ruelle This song came to me from my Netflix show The Vampire Diaries and it grabbed my heart immediately. I think of Will and how lucky I am that I get to love him and that he loves me just as much (if not more) back.  Turning Page - Sleeping At Last This was the song I walked down the aisle to Will with when we got married. Yes, it's the same song that Bella walks down the aisle with to Edward, but that was my dream wedding... like literally! Please - Bethany Joy Lenz Bethany plays Haley James Scott on one of my favorite shows One Tree Hill . I love her voice and her character throughout the whole show... and this song is just the jam! I Can Let Go Now - Nathan East (Feat. Sara Bareilles) This song got me through my break-up with Dave and gave me strength. I swear that Sara is able to speak the ...

I'm married and live in Maine now. Whew! There it is... the two BIGGEST changes in my life in less than 10 words. And after all the relationship drama I was reading about from my past blog posts, I'm glad to say I'm married and done with the dating see-saw of happy/sad/happy/sad. And damn, there were so many ups and downs in my past. Good grief! I married Will Morris: the goofy, big-hearted, hard-working, loving, tall, tatted, handy, keeps me grounded, wrestling fan, encouraging, handsome man of mine! I could not have imagined anyone better for me in my life than this guy! We met at the Den on 10/4/2015... a local bar back in Euless where he worked and I eventually worked. It was instant attraction, was supposed to be just a fling... our first date (10/8/2015) was casual with flirty pool playing and snacks and then he kissed me. Well, he chin-lifted me then kissed me and it was all over at that point. We still argue as to whose fault it is that we're married now....

So in the long list of changes in my life, I am no longer pursuing Nursing. I think that may have been the first time I wrote that down. I've said it a bunch and explained it all, but I don't think I ever wrote it down. Hmmm... that felt a little strange. Why did I choose to stop pursuing it? It was not an easy choice, but after being wait-listed again for entering the program... and then decided to move to Maine for a fresh start, that fresh start included nursing. I may still decide to go back to it at some point down the road, but for now, it's off the table. This move to Maine has allowed us to have jobs with set schedules and set pay so we can actually budget and save for the first time in our entire relationship. We are actually setting ourselves up to try and purchase a home at the end of 2020 or beginning of 2021; a feat I never thought possible. And here we are, crushing that goal! So, my new degree will just be a Bachelor of Science and Humanities... it will...

Good Lord! Changes... so many changes. Truthfully, I actually forgot about this blog for a long while and randomly decided to revisit it. Much, and I mean much, has changed in my life and for the absolute better. I will be writing much more... you know, to cover the changes. It's really for me... this whole blog is really my outlet for thoughts and feelings and emotions and so on... Here's hoping I can keep up with this better moving forward.

So it's almost 6 years after the trip, but here is my Italian Invasion... Day 1 As the time drew closer to our departure, nerves from the anticipation began to frazzle.  We were about to take our first trip across an ocean to another world.  The morning began with coffee and mani/pedi’s at our favorite nail shop.  Talk about a great way to start any day.  Perhaps I should do that every morning.  Who wants to pay for that?  Anyone?  Anyone?  Bueller?  Now, home to shower, clean up my place, make the bed and pack anything last minute needed.  Mom calls.  “Let me take you gals to lunch before you leave.”  Lunch at Jason’s Deli.  Abby and I are both in purple; unplanned.  Awesome.  We make it to the terminal, check bags, and have a surprise visit from dad who took time off work to see us off.  He’s the best!  Go daddy; you’re so awesome.  As Abby valiantly crosses through security without the bo...
