Home Sweet Home

Well, after a couple hour delay (on the plane) in Portland I'm back in paradise:) Even better I don't have to work till Saturday:) I just finished doing bills, and am doing laundry and sort of unpacking! The fun aspect of getting home!

I had a great time and I accomplished/learned some things:
-I am truly BLESSED with the people that are in my life
-I made it threw a vacation with slim drama
-I can sit with 2 other happy couples and not turn into a "hater" when they talk about the joys of marriage and finding "the one". yes I had a twinge of jealously (it's only normal) but I've finally got to a point where I'm happy for them but I know this is where I need to be right now... with out a relationship and I'm cool with that:)
-I can't seem to do much without giving it my all (I have bruises that are littering my legs from jet skiing and it's finally getting to the point that it doesn't hurt to shave my legs) *my Mom pointed out after looking at my bruises "remember when you were little and everyone thought you were a fragile little thing? boy were THEY wrong!" HA
-due to my adrenaline seeking self I managed to injure a 14yr old boy :( but nothing is broken and bruises builds a man :P
-there are friends out there are more in tune to me than I am to myself; for example I had someone here in HI point out that my "vice" is pleasure with pain (there is a point to that) and while in UT someone pointed out that I need a man that stands up to me, an emotionally strong man....i mean I kinda knew this stuff already but to hear it from someone else just puts more clarity to it!
-I like going fast and being in control: go karts and jet skiing :), and to add on to that....I don't mind being last but I DO mind being passed LOL
-airports say a lot about the city....LA makes no sense what so ever, Dallas has the ghetto "air" about it...like it's trying to be good but underneath it all it will cut you....it keeps it to the basics, and Portland has this clean upper class feel to it-like even the lower class dress nice, Utah is Utah....not going there :)
-I HAVE to have some sort of major landscape going on, whether it be mountains or ocean (I'd rather have both...and of course ocean more so than mts) to feel at peace. being in OK even for less than 24 hrs depressed me. It was HOT and FLAT. Some people like that vastness of fields upon fields, maybe that's why I like the ocean...who knows but it's not for me.
-when it comes to family and friends...you have to accept them for who they are and even when they are a moving train wreck, pray for the best and be on stand by for when you are needed
-one can never have too many bathing suits in HI (just realizing that now while I"m doing laundry :)
-I am FINALLY growing into myself and it's WONDERFUL
-being stuck driving a mini van for a week does not decrease one's coolness LOL....yeah I worked it
-i was invited to be part of a friend's wedding! not being the "typical" girl all I know is that I have to get a special dress, BUT I am so honored and psyched to be a part of it!

I may be turning 32 in a matter of weeks....but the best is yet to come:)
WhooHoo
