Not sure what I'd do without you in my life...
Tonight I am getting together with my two oldest friends. After nineteen years, the three of us don't see each other as much as we like. That being said, we don't have to; we remain close whether its weeks or months that go by. These two girls are definitely lifelong friends.
I'm always excited when we have the opportunity to hang out and tonight is no exception. Poker night with our husbands too. Lucky for us, the guys get along great too!
These girls are more than friends; they are family. I always know they are there for me and will always be by their sides as well. Friendships like this are so rare. But I'm not just fortunate to have one; I've been blessed with two!
Love you Yvonne and Janelle!

A Day in The Life....
Memorable event....
Going to Warped Tour each year has become quite a tradition for my husband and I. In 2011 I won a pass to meet Paramore backstage. 2012 was even better though; I got to be part of Sick of Sarah's Street Team and hang with the band the entire day.
Good music, interesting people, and spending the day like a rock star.... Definitely a memorable day!

It's the unexpected things that change our lives....
New addition to my life....
2012 had to be the most difficult year of my life. I lost identity. I had no idea who I was or what mattered in life. Literally my world was turned upside down.
I struggled immensely to find myself; I was in need of a rediscovery of how to continue. In my attempt to learn how to adjust to what life had become I stumbled across someone who helped me more than I could have guessed...
A new friend...
In my struggle to learn who I really was and how to continue each day, I surely was not looking for someone else to enter my world. I needed to get to know me, not someone else. By chance, I solicited an acquaintance to help with one new aspect; little did I know she would help me with so much more.
2012 may have been very hard; but unbeknownst to me, I found a friend to help me get through.
Thank you Wendy....

A Beautiful Place to Get Lost...
I get lost a lot in books. I think anyone with a passion for reading does. Books are the ultimate escape from reality, even if brief it helps us when our own lives may be on a down turn.
The last book I got lost in was "Where All the Dead Lie" by JT Ellison. It's part of the Taylor Jackson series. I love crime novels; my undergrad degree is in criminal justice. I also love a good detective series. This book is the seventh and last as this series is now on an extended hiatus while the author pursues a new series.
When I get lost in a book such as this, I lose track of time and my surroundings. I've been known to start a book when my kids fall asleep and read until the sun comes up!

Put on Your Listening Ears...
I listen to people and noises everyday. Most of the time it's through conversations; I consider myself to be a good listener.
October 19th is the last time I listened for hours yet did not speak. That's because I was at a comedy show in DC. I have wanted to see Kathy Griffin live for years. My birthday is October 23rd so a friend of mine and my husband thought this would be a great gift!
I don't know how she does it, but Kathy was on that stage for almost three hours of improv. I completely loved the show and laughed so hard it hurt. The entire trip was fun, with this being the pinnacle.
It doesn't matter what kind of day or week you are having, a good laugh always helps!
