{ Busy Week }

Today is my last day at Alfred J Davis. It's bitter yet sweet. Sad yet exciting. My co-workers were so kind to bring me my favorite things for my adventure. Almonds + Coffee. Tomorrow will be spent buying last minute items, + packing. Then Friday morning, It's off to Washington. I'm looking forward to unpacking my things, it will be like an early Christmas. I've been in such small spaces, city living, for so long. It will be so nice to have walk in closets and tons of space.

Then, Saturday my Dad and I are off on a Father / Daugther road trip to Southern California. We are visiting family and friends. Stopping all places from Seattle to San Diego. Even talked my Dad into a day at Disneyland! Then I fly back into Portland, My Dad is staying in SOCAL a week more or so. I have to get back in time to pick up Sean at SEA - TAC on the 10th.

{ Little BRO }

Today, and every day, I am ever so thankful for my little brother, David. He's taught me was strength is. As siblings who have gone through just about everything together, the toughest and the greatest, we’ve always had and will always have each other. And for that, I am thankful. He's my inspiration. Daily.

{ Daddy's Girl }

Today, and every day, I am thankful to have such an amazing Father. Not only is he the most hardworking, caring, dedicated, driven person I know. He has supported me at the best and most difficult times in my life. Not always did I or will I understand his reasoning’s, but today I’m grateful for them. Even those I still do not entirely understand. For it has helped mold my independent, strong willed ways. And for that, I am thankful.

{ LOVE / Hate }

As I've gotten older, I've come to realize that people still carry this idea that loving someone can be too deep, and hating someone can be too easy. I've personally never been afraid; or ashamed of loving someone. Its something to embrace and be proud of. If it fails, then it fails. Learn from it, become a stronger person because of it. There will always be failures in your life, if it was not for failure there would not be success. I've learned that people will respect you more for giving something your all and not being afraid rather than pretending you're something you're not and avoiding true feeling. I'm not sure why so many people are scared of love, yet welcome hate. Maybe because it's easier? Since when did easier get anyone anywhere? There are so many people who avoid relationships or committing to one person, part being their fear of rejection ... part being their fear of judgement. It's better to look back and say you tried; rather than look back and say you wish you would of ...

Then there's hate. Such a strong, eliminating word. Act. That I don't entirely understand either. You don't have to say you hate someone, to hate on them. And it seems as if, everyone is hating on everyone. If someone doesn't like someone else, or doesn't agree with someones ideas ...  it's okay for you to form your own opinion and not follow theirs. People follow other peoples opinions without making their own far too often. People go off word of mouth entirely too much these days. In all honesty, word of mouth is not entirely credible ... people should know that by now.

{ Our New Home }

Yes! We got the place we loved the very most! So excited, grateful, and feeling beyond blessed. We'll be living in South Everett. Which is a great medium for the both of us. Its 15 minutes away from the Naval Station as well as Seattle. It will open up job opportunities for me, and make life easier for Sean when he starts school. Living within a few miles of the city will be convenient, yet peaceful and quiet. The home comes with two large walk in closets which I'm overly excited about, A beautiful fireplace, and room for guests. I've just about gotten everything bought for the move. Furniture ...  Decor Etc. Which has been so fun! I cannot wait to have my workout buddy home ... lazy evenings by the fire with a glass of wine and a good movie ... the feeling of having Sean home and not having to say goodbye ... cooking dinner ... spending the holidays with ALL the ones I love. Everything. Life is just good.
