Today's the day!

Yikes! I am so nervous and so excited!

Say a prayer that I do well!!

Back in business

Now that our Internet is up and working, I thought I'd post a quick outfit. This is a normal work outfit for me...nice but not too nice. I guess that's what they'd call business casual.

No, I'm not in the jungle....this is our backyard when it hasn't been cut in a while :)

Disregard my beautiful car and my license plate # haha

Headphones on. World out.

Ever had those days when nothing makes sense and you just wanna scream into your pillow?! When it seems like everyone around you has gone mad...and their craziness makes you begin to doubt your own sanity?! Like can allllllll these people be that stupid and not have a clue?! And not that I have it all together and not that I'm the smartest and wisest person in the world but it seems I'm the only one that doesn't know that 2+2 must equal 7?! I guess I've missed the memos...

Yeah, that's been my life lately. I often dream of running away...jumping in my car and just driving til the gas and money run out. How free and liberating that must feel...hopefully, come August that will be exactly what will happen...except I'll actually have a destination in mind then and money and a plan...so I guess not as freeing as the first option but you get the point. I'll save the details for later, just pray God's will is done.

Well I'm off to bed.

ps: pet peeve of the day - our small town Internet provider has been down since Monday night. Yes, Rock Solid...we had a crazy bad hail/rain storm on Monday but get over it, goshhhhhh, it's already practically Thursday! You aren't seeming very rock solid to me. Just saying...

One.Tree.Hill.

I forgot how much I love this show. How much wisdom and depth is in it. How even in the midst of their sometimes crazy and bizarre story lines, the message is always good...that family is important, that there are more important things than money and fame, that a friendship, relationship, marriage can survive through anything life throws at it, that our choices have consequences and that nothing in life is without a price tag.

Tree Hill had a good run with nine seasons!!! I was so sad to see it go! I feel like it's a part of me and since I grew up watching this, I guess it is.

They have the best music credits than any other show...from Gavin Degraw to Sheryl Crow to Fall Out Boy to Kate Voegle to their very own Bethany Joy Lenz! I'm always googling lyrics because the songs are great!!

Oh and did I mention the show has Chad Michael Murray and James Lafferty in it. Definitely an added bonus :)

And then there are always a ton of good quotes that I'm writing down like:

"When all my dreams come true, the one I want next to me. It's you. It's you Peyton. And you're the one standing next to me if they don't."

"Happiness comes in many forms -- in the company of good friends, in the feeling you get when you make someone else's dream come true or in the promise of hope renewed. It's okay to let yourself be happy because you never know how fleeting that happiness might be."

"Truth is still absolute. Believe that. Even when that truth is hard and cold,
and more painful than you've ever imagined. And even when truth is
more cruel than any lie."

"Every once in a while people step up, they rise above themselves. Sometimes they surprise you, & sometimes they fall short."

"And if you're lucky, and if you're the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back."

"At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world. Six billion souls. And sometimes-- all you need is one."

"I mean, it sneaks up on you. Right? But one day, you look at your life and it has a purpose, & someone that makes you feel very special, & friends. And it's like, all of a sudden, all that time and pain that it took to get there, it just...doesn't matter anymore."

"I believe in true love. I believe in love at first sight. I believe love conquers all. And that doesn't mean there's not gonna be hard days, or difficult things to deal with, because there will be, but finding that person who does it for you and knowing that, that person loves you back, just makes everything so much easier."

"Someday, this beach might wash away. The oceans may dry and the sun could dim but on that day, I'll still be loving you...Always & Forever."

"You know that feeling you get on a Sunday? When you just have the whole day to yourself, and it's been great, but then you remember you have to go to school the next day, and it ruins the whole rest of the night. I have to go home tomorrow, and I just have that feeling. It's like Sunday night”

“Happiness comes in many forms. In the company of good friends, in the feeling you get when you make someone else’s dreams come true,or in a promise of hope renewed. It’s ok to let yourself be happy, because you never know how great that happiness might be. Sometimes pain becomes such a huge part of your life, that you expect it to always be there, because you can’t remember a time in your life when it wasn’t. But then one day you feel something else. Something that feels wrong only because it’s so unfamiliar, and in that moment you realize you’re happy.”

“Life kicks you around sometimes. It scares you and it beats you up. But there’s one day when you realize you’re not just a survivor. You’re a fighter. You’re tougher than anything life throws your way. And you are.”

I could list a thousand more. But I'll spare you.

G'night, Tree Hill.
