A Birthday Blog

It's my birthday and I'm fantastically excited about it!!!

Before the festivities begin I just wanted to take a moment to say how incredibly blessed I have been throughout the past year.

I have some great friends, I love my job, I have my business, my baby girl, a husband who tries to give me everything I could ever dream of and most importantly this year, I have my health.

Just a couple days ago I received more test results confirming that I am still in remission.

The most amazing thing I have learned over the last year is that I need to be thankful for every blessing in my life, no matter how big or how small they seem to be at the time.

Thank you to all of my friends and family for being there with me and for me. I love you all!

And for my sister, yes, I acknowledge that I am now a quarter century old!!!!!! Thank you for continuing to remind me of that. Just remember your time is coming!

So close I can taste it!

If you've noticed I haven't been keeping up on my blog very well this summer and well, just about everything else too.

I started back to college about 6 weeks ago and it has been a grueling 6 weeks.

Accounting.

Human Resources.

Need I say more? I think not.

However, I only have ONE test left!!

Accounting is really trying to be the death of me and I knew it from my first week in. It is so incredibly time consuming, I cannot even completely describe how time consuming it really is.

Since it's already 20 after 9 and I have to work tomorrow I'm going to wait until after work to take my very last accounting test.

Friday I have to go to Mayo - more tests. But have no fear, it is a "check up" for more inflammation. Lets hope for NONE. And I will be celebrating being done with summer school by shopping for a dress for my birthday bash! Here's to hoping I find something FABULOUS!

I finally did it!!!

I have wanted one of these ever since I was 16...Adam, however, always talked me out of it. (Which I happen to be mostly thankful for because back then, I wanted a tramp stamp... YIKES!) Now that it is ALMOST my 25th birthday I decided if I want it I'm going to do it; and since I've hardly done anything even remotely rebellious... So I enlisted my bestie to accompany me to a place neither of us had ever been and got my first ever tattoo. :)

I put a lot of thought into this. First, I wanted a small star on my wrist- I know, big shocker, me and stars- but I've always liked foot tattoos, especially sayings/quotes. The more I thought about it the more I decided I had better do my foot first JUST IN CASE I hated it- I can always wear socks right?

Okay, so where did I get the saying? Well, I've been searching and searching for one and then a couple weeks ago I was reading the book If Wishes Were Horses. First, its a fabulous book. Second, there was a paragraph in the book (I tried to find it) that talked about love and risks and I thought that was PERFECT!! So I used the same font that I use for my business and wallahh! Or however you spell that...

I love it! And I'm still going to get the star, someday.

P.S. It's very hard to take a picture of the outside of your own foot and get it to look okay.
