Happy Birthday America! I love Independence day. I looove fireworks too. Especially when you're lying in bed and about to fall asleep and you are continually startled by your rogue neighbors launching bombs into the sky. Sounds like Bagdad around here..

Do you ever wonder about what became of someone that was once a major part of your life, or maybe just shared a piece of it, or even just an experience? I think about people who I have done life with, and wonder where they are, what their life looks like now. I wonder if they remember me. Like there was this kid Michael that lived in my neighborhood that I used to hang out with all the time, haven't seen him since high school. Or another best friend Cathy that left for the military and haven't heard from her since. Do you remember being in a relationship and thinking there is no way we will ever not be a part of each others lives? But yet, here we are. Yes, I've been listening to that song by Pink "Who Knew",and it got me thinking. There's a line in it that says, 'if someone said 3 years from now, you'd be long gone, I'd stand up and punch them out'. You never know how long someone is gonna be walking beside you, before their exit comes up and they're gone, down their own road. Do you ever wish you could know how long they'd be around? Would it change how much time you spent with them? Maybe not take them for granted? Or would that put too much pressure on a relationship? I suppose foreknowledge can really screw stuff up. There are lots of things you'd never walk into if you knew then what you knew now. But you'd miss alot of life that way.
I think losing people grows us in some twisted way..
I actually think I kinda like the mystery. Never knowing if someone will walk out of my life tomorrow, or on the flipside, someone walks in.

Hi Shileen

So last night after returning home alone from dinner with the Harris's, it was dark and just starting to storm, and I came in through the garage so I  went and unlocked the front door, thinking the children should be home soon. I hadn't been home a minute before someone is pounding on the door. Now at first I thought it was the kids but I didn't see headlights, and whoever was dropping them would have waited to see them inside, so I knew it couldn't be them. I went and got my 9mm out of the nightstand and started creeping towards the door. It was dark in the house and I was hoping they didn't look through the window to see me coming, but I peeked around the door through the glass and saw the backside of a very wet dark haired guy. I was so freaked out I didn't get a good look at who it was, I just ran back to the living room and waited. With my gun.  Hoping they didn't try the unlocked handle. Eventually I saw a dark suv drive away. Why didn't I just open the door?!? I had a gun, I could have defended myself. The mystery would have been solved! Now I am left to wonder who on earth was waiting for me to get home late at night in the middle of a thunderstorm?! If it is you, and you are reading this, please tell me! I hate unsolved mysteries...

So my friend Todd told me I need to take it down a notch with the heels. He says I'm tall enough at 6 feet, and all the heels i wear are just too much. I say, too bad, I'm doing it anyway. Cause I can.

I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
Though we are screaming inside oh we can't be heard

..i love music..

1 Corinthians 10:13

¹³No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

You may be right, I may be crazy,
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for..

A thousand times I've seen you standing
Gravity like lunar landing
You make me want to run till' I find you
I shut the world away from here
I drift to you, you're all I hear
As everything we know fades to black

Long crazy weird day. Josh is gone. Felt a bit surreal. Had a fabulous time with Heather tonight. I really needed to laugh. Made alot of new memories for today. Finished by kids calling us saying that not only did they want to be picked  up, but that we needed to bring towels when we did. Why, you may ask? Well because they were dripping wet, and covered in oatmeal. Of course. What good would any youth event be without a food fight?
I'm going to go attempt sleeping alone now, wish me luck.

I still can't believe it's been a year. It just feels like last month, I was standing there..

Isner won. Nice.
Last night on the hill was amazing. Felt like a change in season. Timing is great, with my year being up. God is good.
No word on the job front yet. Submitted more resumes today.
Now shopping with my eldest child before I lose them both for 2.5 days. Well, she's actually just walking beside me with her phone. She has been texting the same boy for 2 days straight. He's just a friend. A boy who apparently really likes texting?
My youngest is already at church, has been all day, well, all week for that matter. She's having a blast at internship. She has been chosen to be one of the singers for this festival they're attending. I'm so proud of her.
Date night tonight with Josh. Our last night before he leaves tomorrow :-(
