My Birthday

This past Saturday was my birthday. I turned 22-years-old. I think as I get older my birthday is just another day to me. Its not like when your're a kid and you know you are going to have a ton of presents from all of your family members and a big birthday party waiting for you. Birthdays are a fun day to celebrate, but I think it is more of a kid thing to do. I get more into my children's birthdays than my own which is what it is suppose to be... right?
My dad took my kids shopping for me and they got me some pretty cool gifts. He also bought me a cake that my daughter decorated all pretty for me. She made me a home made card as well. I thought it was really sweet of her. A couple days prior my dad took me and my children to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants. He is a great father and grandfather to all of us. My mom and I have plans to go out this coming Saturday because we both have busy schedules.
My fiance and I had plans to go to Appleton on my birthday, but he runined our plans because his family has a store and they really needed his help. I was actually furious that he would break our plans especially on my birthday the one day he is actually not suppose to bail on me. He ended up coming back around nine at night and bought me some balloons and flowers then took me out to eat. My birthday actually turned out pretty alright.

Friendship

Has anyone ever thought you were going to be friends with somebody for ever and then your friendship ended? For most of us this has happened at least once or more than once in our lives. Sometimes friends come and go like seasons and we can't really do anything about it whether we want to or not it is just apart of the seasons of life.
How do we know if we truly have a friend worth keeping or not? Sometimes people can be blind and it is hard to tell somebody's true colors. Nothing is worse than finding out that the person you thought you were so close to is a liar.
Nobody likes a liar, but I guess it is hard to tell somebody is lying especially when you thought they were a trustworthy person. People lie for many different reasons such as wanting to be accepted by other people, wanting to get out of something, or just not wanting someone to find something secret out. In my opinion lying is just a waste of time because the truth always comes out in the end.
I recently had a friend who I found out was lying to me. I thought we were very close and had a honest friendship, but I guess I was to blind to see it. I thought by the time people become adults that the childish games would go away, but some people just don't grow up. Since we are both adults I am not going to cause an argument over it. I guess I am contemplating if I should give her a second chance or walk away? Only time will tell.

Moving

I have been living in my house for the past two and a half years. It is not the best place in the world to live. The landlord is rude along with the neighbors. Also I feel the other children are not good children for my children to be playing with. The apartment is great just not the area and the people!
This past month I decided I am tired of living here, and decided that I was going to find a better place for my family to live. A place that we can all come home to and be happy together, a place that is close to the kids school, my school, and work, and I place that I can be proud to call my home.
I found the perfect place and it did not take long to get accepted into. The rent is going to be a little higher, but that is fine with me. I just want a nice apartment to live in until I am finacially stable to purchase my own home. I also want to rent while I am still in college.
Happily I am moving in tomorrow morning. I will get the keys at 9:30 when I sign the lease. Tonight I will be packing and getting everything ready to move. I got lots of nice things for my new place.
I couldn't be any more happier than I am right now. Life is finally falling into its place:)

College & Life

All of our lives we all hear about our future and college, and how important it is to go to school and make something of our lives. From pre-school to our senior year of high school we are preparing for college, and to get out in the real world on our own. In high school we write papers that show us and introduce us to college writing, we take math classes to prepare for college math, and we even take ACT & SAT tests that let us know how ready we are to begin college.
I always planned on going to college, but when I had my first child I wasn't so sure if I wanted to go anymore. I had Molly when I was fifteen years old and a freshman in high school which wasn't exactly the right age to have your first child, but life takes us in unexpected turns. I made it through high school in three and a half years, so I did complete it. I had my second child at the age of nineteen from an amazing man that I am still with 3 years later. I wouldn't trade them for the world!
I started college two years after I graduated high school. I didn't think I was actually going to go, but I did. I decided that I wanted to pursue an education degree. I would love to teach young children. I look back to my years as a child and I loved my early elementary school teachers. I am in my second year of college and I won't lie it is tough. Besides school I have my family to take care of and I also have to work. I know its all part of life, but it is a constant struggle. This past week I almost quit college because I felt it was beginning to be to much! I knew in my heart that quitting would not be the right decision, so after I talked to my family they convinced me that I need to keep on going. I thank them for always being at my side to help and guide me through good and bad situations no matter what.
When I look at the long run of my life I know that going to school is my only option. I think college is a wonderful place to learn and to also find yourself and who you really are in this life. I am going to keep on going no matter how hard it gets and never look back!
