I suck...but I've been having fun!

I got all motivated to try to continously blog back in March and have failed miserably. Since then, David Cook won American Idol (woohoo!!!) and the Cubs swept the White Sox this past weekend (double woohoo!!). :)

Walter has been traveling like crazy lately (this is week 8 in a row) and I'm looking forward to when we can spend time together at home! Two weeks ago I traveled with him to Anaheim, California for one of his work trips. With my job, as long as I have a computer and internet, I can pretty much work from anywhere, so when he was working, I worked. We had a great time -- usually worked in the morning and then relaxed the rest of the day. On Sunday, we drove straight from the airport to LA to see the Cubs play the Dodgers. Cubs won, of course! ;) Monday evening, we had dinner at Downtown Disney (we stayed just a couple of blocks from Disney). Tuesday we headed to Laguna Beach -- LOVED IT! It is such a cute little artsy town (and I got some new Reefs while we were there). On Wednesday, I got to visit with my dear college friend, Katie Shubin, who I haven't seen in a few years. It was AWESOME!! It felt like no time had passed at all. Thursday we hung out at Long Beach and then meet our friends John and Amanda Huddle for dinner at an awesome BBQ place -- Lucille's (recommended by Katie). Once again, it was such a treat to spend time with them. Amanda and I grew up together in Naperville -- neighborhood and church. Friday was spent all day at Disneyland!! Yea!! Walter hasn't been to Disney before, so it was really a treat. I still want to take him to Disney World sometime -- there is definitely a difference between the two.

My jewelry business is going great and I still love it! It is such an enriching and rewarding experince! I have also been enjoying spending time with my nieces -- they are so adorable and sweet. They make me want to have children. Someday...no, I'm not pregnant, just someday...

BTW, if you want to read the funniest blog EVER, check out my friend Amanda's blog: http://insidedog.typepad.com/

Later!! No promises on when I'll post again. :)

Forgiven and Free

I've come to the revelation that I don't love people (other than my family, which I love fiercely). I'm not trying to be funny and I'm not being mean. I care for people and I genuinely show love and care, but deep down in my sinful, deprived soul, I don't truly love people. Let me explain... I've been hurt a lot by friendships. Numerous times I have let my guard down and tried to be real, just to have those people walk away from me for no reason. So I've put up walls and guarded my heart. I'll share only what is safe, but I struggle to be vulnerable and real. Years ago I went to counseling to help me with being more vulnerable (and my perfectionist nature). I grew a lot and after about a year, I connected with my future husband and allowed my walls to come down. I praise the Lord for him and allowing me to be real. My husband is a gift from God, but I still struggle with my female friendships. Guy friendships always seem to be easier to me. Maybe it ...

Honestly...

I've been thinking a lot about honesty lately, specifically in relationships. For the most part, I consider myself an honest person. When I worked in retail, my customers appreciated that I would give them honest feedback and let them know if something worked for them, instead of just trying to make a sale. I joke around that if you give me a just a little alcohol, you will be sure to know my opinions about any and everything. ;) However, when it comes to people who are close to me, I have a harder time being honest. I can be honest when it doesn't matter -- even when it is with people I consider my friends. I think because there isn't as much at stake -- if they judge me, get mad, or walk away, it doesn't really matter. I know that I was honest and I can move on in my life.  However, with those closest to me, I'm careful to keep things close to me and compartmentalize instead to sharing how I honestly feel. There's way more at stake. Yes, I know that the people...

Simple and Sweet

So, Saturday I found and bought my wedding dress (no, I am not posting any pictures). Monday, I found my bridesmaids' dresses. Yea! It's all coming together. I still don't have any pictures to post. I tried to post one, but it didn't work. So, I have to find a different picture. I'll try to do it soon. Sorry!
