Well! Where do I start, how about I start with December 22, 2004 to be exact. I met the man I am going to marry. This is when I became truly happy, which I didn’t think was ever going to happen. Don't get me wrong I have been happy with the relationships in the past, but I did not know that I could be this happy. I didn't understand what people meant by “I just know he is the one”, well now I do.
On our first date, he was such a gentleman; I remember the whole night like it was yesterday. It was snowing, which it had been doing off and on for two week. I had told him that I spun my jeep out a week before and was kind of scared driving on the icy roads. He wanted to take me to this little restaurant in Huntsville but decided to take me somewhere else due to my little incident. I told him I was ok with going up the canyon due to the fact I was not driving. We ate, played pool, talked and flirted like we were in high school again. When we were done he took me home and we talked for another hour, I pulled out my high school year book so we could look at our funny pictures. Yes we went to school together, knew the same people but did not really know each other, just knew of each other. When he left he gave me a hug and said goodbye, he walked out the door and right before he shut the door he opened it again and gave me this wonderful look (HA you thought I was going to say he kissed me) and said goodbye again (I thought he was going to). I didn’t know he was the man for another two weeks, I really didn’t know for another 2 ½ years. But now I really know.
So the point of this story is I am truly happy. I have found someone who loves the same things that I love; someone who shares the same dreams and someone who is teaching me that money isn’t everything even though it’s nice to have. We just moved into together three months ago, we have two kids (our dogs), Odie and Daisy. Odie is a cute little mutt and daisy is a Great Dane/Bullmastiff mix. Our babies, we take them everywhere we can, camping, hiking, over to our family or friends house depending on who will let us bring them. We do hope to have a child someday, well I hope to have a child someday and I know he does, but he does not like to talk about it. He just makes little comments here and there.
It has been a little hard this past few months only because I quit my job, Yes I know it was a bad time to do it and I am realizing it now, but it will all work out, I know it will. Harv works for lifetime in the R&D department, he loves it, although he would like to make more money, but who wouldn’t.
Right now all I do is sit at home looking for a job, I put in for at least 3-4 jobs a day and I’ll tell you what no one is hiring right now, or they’re just not hiring me. I look at it this way, I am looking for the right job and maybe I haven’t found that job yet, but when I do find it then it will find me.
I try to use the power of the universe by being positive. Being positive is a big part of my life, and I try to tell others it is very important to be positive. I still have the negative crawling around in my head, which is what I have been taught my whole life, not by any one person but by life in general. My main goal is to be able to teach people the power of being positive instead of just telling them. It is something that people really have to work toward and I’ll tell you what, it is hard!!! It is hard not to think negative all the time. I am someone who normally looks at everything in a negative way and I think a lot of our family is the same way. Well most of the world is the same way. I am learning different ways to stay positive
1) Keep your head up high when you are walking, don’t look at your feet, you will be amazed at how fast you feel confident with yourself. When I do it, I try to say hello to everyone who walks by me. Now if I’m at the mall or somewhere where there are a lot of people I will just look at people and smile.
2) Goal setting: making a goal is a good start to being positive. I am definitely not someone who likes to set goals, but I am someone who would like to learn how to be that person.
3) Keep your home life at home and your work life at work. This is really hard to do; I am someone who wares their feeling on their shirts. This is really hard but if you learn how to do it, then you will have more fun in either place.
4) Treat everyone the way you want to be treated. I know everyone has heard this over and over again, but I will tell you it is true.

There will be more to come…..

Well I have enjoyed looking at everyone blog, I miss all of you and I wish we could all get together again with no troubles or worries. Just have fun.
