i heart this one person



So...when I was barely 11 years old I met someone who, at the time, I didn't realize would become someone who would help shape my life and become one of the most important people I would ever have the privilege of knowing.  I won't expose her name here...since I'm not sure how "kosher" that would be. haha.  This woman was my age (now) when she came into my life.  It's really strange how life has it's twists and turns.  She was my shoulder to cry on, my favorite person to laugh with, we loved shopping together, we sang in the car, wore the same outfits, liked the same food, had "fights" and made up, enjoyed the same hobbies, and from what we still hear...even LOOK ALIKE.  My "Lou" and I have been through a lot of high and a lot of low times together.  We haven't always gotten a long, but some how always seem to figure our way through those times.  We have hurt each other and gotten over it.  We have made memories that will last a lifetime.  I wouldn't trade our relationship for anything.  I mean, sure...I have my regrets of things I have said, done, and ways that I have acted...but I don't think we would have as much respect for each other if we hadn't gone through all that we have.  I love this person with all of my heart and thank God sooo much for her.  I let her into a place in my heart that I haven't allowed anyone else to inhabit..and I wouldn't kick her out for anyone to else to live there to this day.  She stole my heart with her soft little voice and sweet demeanor.  (This is sounding so sketchy, but I promise it's not). hahahahaha  Lou instantly became my best friend, and although our relationship should have been a little different, I am glad that it is the way it is.  We can go for months without seeing each other and it's like nothing has changed.  We laugh our butts off together, we talk about the nitty gritty stuff that no one else knows about, we stay up all hours of the night reminiscing about the "good old days", and there is never a dull moment.  I miss her terribly.  It's crazy how we have to grow up and become responsible adults and move all over the place and leave people that we adore behind.  I am just thankful that she is and always will be a part of my life, no matter where in the world we are.  
I heart this person....my strawberry lou.


OLDIE :)

I need to catch up...

So...Independence Day weekend, a very special person in my life came to spend the weekend with me.  We had a party on Sunday the 3rd at  The Aqua , which was a lot of fun.  Monday we drove down to Indiana and I stayed there all week with some friends from my "home town."  Thank you Ashlen and Austin ♥.  I went down in preparation for my sweet friend's wedding on Saturday, July 9th.  I was a bridesmaid in the wedding...and wanted to be there to help set things up with her and her family. So...I plan to write more about my experiences the last few days..but right now I am stressed for time.  So I will post some photos until then.

this time last year..

This time last year my husband, our pup, and I were living in a tiny little truck bed camper in the middle of NO MAN'S land California.  Our energy was powered by a generator that we had to fill with gas every single day, and our heat was powered by propane tanks that were so old we could hardly find a place to get them filled.  Thanksgiving was a cold, gloomy, rainy day and we were stuck inside all day.  We tried to cook food on our tiny stove, but it was by no means a traditional Thanksgiving.  We watched movies almost all day and played with our pup, who was still new to us.  I was so heart broken, I could hardly see straight.  He held me together when I felt like falling to pieces.  I had a lot to be thankful for, I had my health, my husband, I had food, family...you know, all the things we are always used to having.  I was still so sad.  I wanted to spend the holiday cooking, eating, spending time with the people I love, being comfortabl...
