Adventures!

Life is such an incredible adventure. Tonight we are going to start our trip to Utah. We will be attending a friend's wedding and meeting some incredible friends that I've known for 5 years. It is a  16.5+ hour drive, but with both me and Tye, it'll be an adventure!

Yesterday, I decided I was going to start walking. I did a 4 mile trek, 2 miles to the cemetery, 2 miles back home. My legs and tummy and derriere were all telling me that I did good! Yeah, I am sore this morning! I am proud though. I am starting something good for me. YAY for new adventures.

My Monsters all started school again. They love it. I couldn't be more happy that they love school. I will help them chase their dreams. I'm currently proving to them that dreams could come true. I will have my associates in Educational Paraprofessional at the end of November! It is nearly time for me to start my capstone, which is what will determine if I receive my associates or not. I know I will pass, simply because I'm amazing.

I love that I can soon be working within the school systems. I am hoping to be able to work at Hedley ISD as that's where my kids attend, however I will put my application in all around. I just want to be around children. I love helping them better themselves.

OH!! I applied for a social media and community service role through National Society of Collegiate Scholars. I feel as if I can do more for this program and gain better leadership abilities. I am also going to be a penpal at In2books again and a mentor at icouldbe.org. I want to help people, and what better way than doing things through school.

I am happy. Truly, deeply happy. I have incredible friends and my amazing family. I love my life. The only thing I would ever change anything would be to bring all those I care about closer. I love you all tons. **hug**

More Rambles from your Favorite Midget :D

Today is absolutely beautiful. Clouds in the sky, nice cool temperature, sun shining bright, ahhhhh. I wish it were like this all day, every day, 24/7/365. Such a calming morning.

Now, for my rant of the day... STOP LETTING DISABILITIES RUN YOUR LIFE! Yeah, I understand it's hard, they suck and there is "no way you can do it." Well guess what, you are wrong. It is hard, yes. Disabilities suck, yes. However, only you can change yourself to do what you want. I'm not saying you're going to get over your disabilities. The reason I'm bringing this up, is I have MANY friends who talk about how hard it is to be normal or do things that other people can, because of a disability.

Let's take a look at a few people, shall we? Here's an easy one, Ludwig Van Beethoven. Anyone who listens to ANY music knows this name. We all know he was Deaf. Did he let that stop him from creating beautiful music? NO. He wasn't born deaf, he started going deaf when he was nearly 30.

Next we will look at Nick Vujicic. Talk about an amazing person. Watch this video. He is incredible. Tell me you can't do it. Go ahead. You and I both know you can do anything. The way I see it, you are not disabled. You are human. We all have our positives and negatives about ourselves. Wake up, smile at the sunshine, take a deep breath and TRY. I, for one, can do anything. Tell me I can't, I'll do it just to prove you wrong. And before ignorance speaks, I am not saying I can make an elephant jump. I'm speaking of real life, importance. I was told I would drop out of High School because I left home half way through my senior year. I graduated with a 3.2 GPA. I was told I was going to amount to nothing. I have the most amazing life. Yes we have struggles, but who doesn't? I have my kids. I have love, I have friends, I have family. I own my house and three vehicles. Yeah, they like to break down, but hey, that's life, right? I am a full time student, and I WILL be a teacher. I belong with children. You may belong doing other things like photography *I want to be a photographer too, but one step at a time* or a doctor, or a fast food manager. If you are happy somewhere and belong there, by all means do it. Disabilities, whether they be physical or mental, aren't going to stop your dreams. Only you can stop your dreams. Be an inspiration, even if it's only an inspiration to yourself. I am :D

A little bit of everything

Okies, first we're going to have a little rant. If you are either in a bad mood, or just having a bad day STAY OFF OF THE COMPUTER!!! You misconstrue everything said as a stab directly at you. The vast majority of the time, people say what's on their mind, on the computer anyways. It is not directed at you unless someone writes "Hey such and such, you're an idiot" or something along those lines. I refrain from saying names a lot because it is rude to bring that attention on someone when you're the one with the beef against them. For example, if someone I know decides to make stupid decisions in their life and I am completely against it, I may write "you are such an idiot, think before you act!" then all of a sudden everyone who has done something stupid will react. I won't say "Hey George, you are being an idiot." unless they know how blunt I am and that they won't get their feelings hurt by my saying so. Yes, I bring a lot of my thoughts forward and the vast majority of you know that I don't really care if I hurt you or not. I am blunt. But come on, someone is writing something in general, not directly at you. If you don't want the negative feelings or attention, DON'T READ IT!!! Get off Facebook or whatever you are on, sit back, read a book, go for a walk, play a game, just GET OFF THE DARN COMPUTER! I am so tired of reading "don't mess with me today" or "don't talk about me" type crap. I mean come on now.

We went to Kansas last month, visited with family and had a great time. We even put Tye in Jail! My Momma will be here for a week on the 16th. It'll be great to see her again as I haven't since Christmas! Then at the end of this month, we are going to Utah to see Shellie and her soon to be hubby get married. I'll get to see two old friends at the wedding *Shellie and Nicole* and meet some wonderful ladies I've befriended over the past few years. Next month I have a baby shower to attend, and then we are planning a camping trip at the end of September! WHEW busy busy!

School is going good. I still have my A's. I'm working hard. I will have my associates in November, so GO ME! I am continuing on for two more years to get my bachelors. I'm excited.

OH I wanted to bring a website to attention. This guy does AMAZING art. nogreaterloveart.com His name is Jason Bullard and WOW. I have 4 prints of his, finishing building the frames for them but yeah. I'll take pics of them when I'm completely finished.

I'll stop rambling for now. Much Loves where they go!
