just the beginning. . . .

this is my first blog, i never thought i would find the time to create a blog, but i find myself trying new things in 2008. i always wanted to create one, but just kept putting it off. i feel i am a very creative person, and thought this would be a great way to express my creativity. i love to scrapbook and make cards, so i want to use this blog showcase my creations.



a quote i heard the other day has really got me thinking. . . . . . "don't ask God to lighten your load, as him to strengthen your back." hmmmmmmm, what a thought. So many times i have said to myself, " i have this to do, and that to do, and i don't have time to do this, and when am i gonna find the time to do that, I need a break!!!!" but what i had to realize that i am blessed to be able to get up each day, and able to move around on my own, and have a busy life like i have. there are so many young people who did not make it to reach my age of "young" 27, and i should be so grateful that i have. i have to teach myself to reach for all my goals, and not sit around and wait for them to be handed to me. if i wait around forever, then i will stuck in my shoulda, coulda, woulda's.



i have done some things so far this year that i never thought would come this soon. i moved out into my first place. it was hard at first, not knowing how it would work out, would i be able to handle the responsibility that goes along with living on your own, or would i get out there a fall flat on my face, and have to go back to my parents house. but i ventured out there anyway, and things have been going great so far. i never knew how great it would be to have my own space!!! i love it!!! don't get me wrong I love my mom and dad, and i miss being there, but there is nothing like coming home to a quiet house, and relaxing!



my parents are the best parents in the world. they have been there through thick and thin, i don't have a clue what i would do without them. the have been there to help me through bad imes, and support and encourage me through the good times. I appreciate everything that they have done. there are some people out there who were not fortunate to have 1 parent, let alone, 2 parents growing up, but i was, and i am so truly grateful.

i have to go for now but i will posting some picture soon of my new apartment, i had the best time decorating it! also look out for some creations coming soon. . . . . . . . .
