Happy Wednesday!!!

Hello! Toady is Wednesday, 1/3/07 and I'm still getting used to writing/typing 2007 instead of 2006...but I'm happy to be here anyway! So, yesterday, my boyfreind, Colin, found the rest of this blog as well as very past stuff I'd written two, two and half years ago about my very ex boyfriend(s). That was a little un-nerving, but it worked out well. I was quite scared as to how he would take whatever he read because to be honest, I hadn't read anything in this blog prior to July 2005 since this time last year (Jan. 2006). Note to self--sometimes blogs aren't meant to hold everything! LOL! In all seriousness, it worked out very well, I have no more secrets from Colin, he told me more about his past and we're all good! Besides, I never write anything on here that I would mind anyone else seeing, after all, this is the WORLD wide web and I'm very aware of the fact that ANYONE can access this blog; therefore, I'm cautious about what I write. But, it does feel good to be writing again. I went back through here and read some past entries that I wrote, it's quite interesting and fun to look back and see how I felt about certain things. Some things have changed, some things have not. That's good to know. What I do know that today, this past six months or so, have truly been the absolute happiest of my life, and my very current boyfriend, Colin, is a huge part of that! I came home this morning and spent some time with my mom while she got ready for work, that was really nice! And I'm writing in here, three days in a row...I can't promise I'll be writing every day, but since I'm unfortunately not in school this coming semester, it'll give me a chance to write and read again--what a concept! Anyway, today, I have and eye doctor appointment, and then later tonight, we're going to meet up with his cousins, Kylie, Kelsey and other people who's names start with 'K' but that I can't remember, I'm sorry! I seem to have a lot of K's, J's and C's in my life: Kelsey (my sister), Kim (my step-mom), Kylie, Kelsey, Kevin, Kristopher, Kary (all of Colin's Cousins), JoJo (my best girlfriend in SD), Joni (grama) Joe (my dad), Jordan (my sister), Joely (my sister), Jerri (Colin's mom), and Carla (my 2nd cousin), Claudia (my other best girlfriend) and of course, Colin. I have a lot of great people in my life, I'm blessed! Anyway, Colin told me that if there's anyone I ever need to impress besides his mom (whom I also call mom now), it's his cousin, Kylie. Thanks babe, no pressure there! It's funny, we've only been together six weeks, but it feels like so much longer--in a good way though! Anyhow, I am not nervous about meeting Kylie b/c I've talked to her on the phone and she sounds really nice and sweet. All of Colin's family is incredibly sweet and welcoming, I got lucky this time b/c believe me, when you get the man, you get his family too!!! That's just the way it is, so it makes things MUCH easier if/when you all get along well...I can't wait to take him home to my family in Reno, mainly my grandma Elizabeth, she can't wait either. She's been THE biggest supporter/cheerleader for our relationship (mine and Colin's) so that's a great feeling! Anyway, I'm looking foward to finally meeting the other side of Colin's family; Christmas went so impecably well that I just know I'll love this side too! Besides, I'm a nice, sweet, well-mannered young lady and I can pretty much meet/get along (and hopefully) impress anyone I meet. Not to sound conceited, but most all of my friends and those who know me say that I'm very strong, spiritual, sweet, caring and honest. That's a great way to be described actually, and I work everyday to keep those descriptions. I'm not perfect, no one is, but you know, you're only as strong as the people you surround yourself with, so I try and surround myself with strong, supportive people. So, I meditated today, and that felt wonderful, I only did it for about 10 mins, but hey, that's better than nothing. The nice thing about this is that with Colin, I don't have to hide my spirituality. I'm Christian, but not church going and I try and read a lot on all religious/spiritual aspects...and my faith in God is extremely important to me (first actually), and in my past relationships with men, I always felt like I had to hide it or skip it entirely, and I don't feel that way with Colin. Colin is actually one of the few people in my entire life (aside from close family) who's told me to "go medtiate." Peeople who know me very well know that it's a necessity for me, not a luxary, that I have to do for my health and sanity. Meditation is an awesome thing anyway, and pretty much all religions (and even science now a days) agree on that! It was really nice to be able to meditate this morning. I heard something today that I thought was interesting "I AM God in Action," how wonderful is that?! So, that's my thought for today--I Am God in Action and I hope to honor that, today and everyday, but especially today! Oh by the way, my biological grandfather, Bob, would've been 80 today if he was alive--he died in 1994, when he was 68. So, Happy Birthday Grandpa Bob, we miss you! Now, I have to go, but I promise I'll try and write again very soon, if not tomrorow! Thank you Lord for everything! God Bless!

In Light N' Love,
