Hip Hip Horray its Friday!

Yesterday was an awesome day, I got to visit Kaitlyn on Campus, I got to see where she goes to school and where she works, we did some shopping, some walking and some hanging out. Kaitlyn's drive never ceases to amaze me, she is married, has 2 beautiful fur babies, lives over 2 hrs from any family, goes to school full time, works part time and never once skips a beat.

She went straight from college, obtaining a Bachelors degree, to law school and is now earning a teaching certificate, during that time she got married and had her appendix burst inside her body... The sweet girl leaves her house at 6 am in the morning and most days doesn't get back home until 9 pm. The amazing part is that 99.9% of the time she is happy and positive and and the .1 % of the time that she isn't, she usually is just tired and quiet. She truly inspires me and reminds me how easy I have it. Although she is 17 yrs younger than me, I wanna be just like her when "I grow up".

So after visiting her yesterday, I came home and did pretty much nothing. I am just now starting to feel better and decided to take it easy. This weekend will be filled with lots of crafty fun stuff, and I will make sure pics and ideas are posted. I am digging into the closets and I feel good about it.

On a quick side note, yesterday was my mom and dad's 47th wedding anniversary.

Unfortunately for my family, my father passed away in 2013. My heart felt heavy yesterday, I miss my father so much every day and I long to see him one more time every day of my life. As I get older and I think of him, I truly understand how misunderstood he was. I wish I could go back in time and make life easier on him, I am not sure how I could have done that, but in hindsight, I would have done anything I could to make him happy. I love you dad, may you continue to rest in peace. Thank you for being my dad.
