its going so fast!!!
You wake up and your an adult what happen to Saturday morning cartoons and when your biggest problem is that your pb & j got smushed before lunch? NOw Saturdays consit of work to pay bills. You try to escape debt after college and everyone starts getting married and we go from living at home to paying our own mortgages.
Going home to Milford always makes me feel like a kid again. My mom makes my bed cooks us all breakfast and we all sit at the table and eat together. The table use to only have 4 of us but my how we have grown!! now Chris comes with Lyndsay cause they are married, my brother is there with his GF, My dad is a regular fixture at the table now. We hardly have space for everyone. What use to be just Lyndsay and I kicking it in the back yard has become me going to her house that she owns and I'm so proud of.
I remember my parents never letting me drive their cars and giving me curfews now they say take the keys and watch out for deer. They can't really give us rules any more!! We are all on our own! Where the hell does the time go???? Im proud ofhow well we have all grown but damn

virginia is for lovers
what an amazing weekend!!! my best friend married her best friend and i couldn't have planned it any better in my mind! It was a completely magical weekend all around! It was nice to escape to VA beach! I most likely would never have pinned that as a city if this event hadn't occurred so I'm glad that we did it there!
I learned about Cornhole and how difficult not eating meat can be when your traveling. We enjoyed the weekend away with friends and family its was an intimate gathering of 45-50. She wore a simple white flowy halter and he wore a white button down with cargos. Polo tees for the man of Honor and best man. I cried like a little baby way to much! Beach wedding with our toes in the sand and the waves crashing is just the way she wanted it! They have been together for 8 years and I've loved it from the start!
We danced the night away and tanned on the beaches. Getting snipped at by a crab and fish hooking her dad across the dance floor were definite highlights. But just looking at each other and seeing how much we have grown and how amazing our friendships are really puts the smile on my face.
The non traditional nature of the event made it all the more enjoyable. i can't wait to see pictures and be included in next years anniversary trip!!

tis the season
Its happening for me I think this might be the first. Lyndsay is getting married one of my closest friends is taking the I do forever vow. This Thursday I'm flying to VA beach to partake in the action. I'm really excited but its kinda eye opening at the same time. I am no where near house wedding kids and its fine with me. I am just so excited to share this special day with her. We planned this when we were 16 and she first fell for Chris who would have thought almost 9 years later it would be happening. Its very magical the idea that the first guy to sweep her off her feet at the ski lift will be walking down the sandy isle all these years later. ( ahhh sighhhh day dreaming)
I can't wait for the small close beach wedding steele drums and cake. Its going to be a really amazing weekend and I'm looking forward to spending time with my best friend as she prepares for her big day. We are gonna relax in the pool beach and just take it all in while we TAN. I don't want to call it a fairytale because she would hate that. But you know what it feels amazing and it almost feels unreal!

getting answers
Well we sometimes get the answers and they aren't the ones we want to hear. This week I got answers to posing questions and ugh i wasn't happy.
First my job opted to not approve my going to Miami for a few weeks. That was a heart breaking blow more so because I really felt like it was going to be a positive work experience. That I was gonna get some real time to shine and learn :(. But perhaps I will get a better opportunity in the winter months and get to enjoy my sunny nyc and the calexico cart for the summer time.
I also got inouch with money and her response wasn't what I wanted to hear because it was heart breaking but Im glad we responded messages and the air seems a lil more clear! still some work to do and we are gonna do it I know we are. She needs a friend and Im not gonna walk away when she needs me Im gonna break through and fix it!

waiting around
Things don't happen to you if you sit around and wait! You need to make moves and open your mouth. Which I'm normally pretty good about so now i'm sitting and impatiently awaiting the answer from work.

( no seriously this is an NYC castle) and i love my job. But i need to know what's next... THINK DREAM find another goal hummmmmmm im gonna use my quiet time to think.

The karma tree
WHOA!! i had a wonderful weekend! i was home Thursday night my parents as usual rolled out the red carpet and Lyndsay allowed us to plan her Bachlorette party in MY CITY!! que rico it was a time to remember! When we woke up this morning and started talking i got to thinking something in my recap to emily later.
Karma I shared with Lyndsay how my friend Jenn got delt some bad hands at a few things. Lyndsay's reaction was well perhaps that is karma for a few of her decisions. Lyndsays thought process was well I would never do some of the things she did so thats why the negative happen to her. I simply replied was she wrong with her spirit but correct from a business end?? It always too hard to tell the two apart.
In my recap to emily I explained I don't think Karma is this simple!! Yes what goes around comes around but what about the lessons we just have to learn to grow. Not every time a guy breaks your heart is it karma not every time you dont get a job call back its Karma Sometimes WE need these negative situations to occur to build strength. Look at a tree. It doesn't do anything wrong. It just tries to grow and sometimes its unlucky and gets stuck in a hurrican but if it survives now it is a taller stronger tree then the lil wimpy vine that only made it through the rain storm.
It may seem silly but sometimes even good people need to get some tough situations to occur to them in order to really become stronger better more independent people. Im not the greatest person and Ive been really lucky getting to follow my dreams and have some of them handed to me. And i have also gone through some really difficult and draining times both mentally and physically and emotionally. Did i deserve a few sure but lots of them I think have molded me to be a strong independent women noow thats just about loving life and having a good time :) So the Karma tree makes sense I believe.

feliz cumpleanos papi!
its May 17th!! its my dads birthday! happy 70th papi! yup 70 years my dad has been blessing this earth! my father is the one that gave me my tough exterior and the desire to work hard! he says only lazy people work while they are sitting and if you can't find it and and i can then im going ot hit you with it! My father never has never believed in racism or gender roles. My father has taught me the importance of seeing everyone for who they are. He has reminded me the blessing of forgivness and compasion as we all struggle with different situations and emotions. My father has pushed me in many directions and has forever supported what makes me smile.
He introducted me to the yankees, basketball, horseback riding and the joy of cooking. He constantly reminds me how great my mother is and how proud of me he is. I'd be lost without my dad. he went through so many struggles in his lifetime and has ensured that i didn't go through half. He many not be able to protect me from every situation in the moment like he could when i was 5. But Him instilling honesty, strength the ability to try and try again , my positive attitude and bright smile ( him and my mommy created) IM GOOD !!
life isn't easy for kids or for parents but you make it work! You find the perfect flow and as we get older we appreciate our parents more and looking back im very happy my dad thought i was a little boy and made me chop wood, change the oil in the car and get my hands dirty. I will learn to speak spanish dad i promise!!! Thats the one and only mistake my dad ever made that has impacted me but Hey dad we can't win them all!!! I love you today yesterday and forever and ever thank you for being you!!!
