I had a feeling I wouldn't be the best at keeping up with this blog business, non the less here I am after a couple of weeks off. I am not sure where to begin because it seems nothing to life changing has happened in the past few weeks. Just the usual work week responsibilities and weekends of freedom. Don't get me wrong I love my job, but there is something to be said for the feeling I get an Friday at 5pm knowing I am about to have a weekend meant for going out, dinner with friends and catching up on life. This weekend was more relaxed then the past few. I spent my Thursday and Friday at the Houston Rodeo watching Rascal Flats and Lady Antebellum. Friday we went to The Hideout a bar on the rodeo grounds. I had a great time dancing and watching the band. It was a nice change of scene from our usual weekend bars. Then Saturday I spent the day getting caught up on my life doing laundry, cleaning, planting daisies and buying patio furniture (yes I turned into a 50 year old that day). I did meet friends for dinner and drinks in The City Center the weather was so nice and sitting on the patio listening to music was such a great way to spend a Saturday evening.
Today after a day of shopping and errands I am enjoying my new patio furniture listening to Zac Brown Band getting ready to see them on Thursday! Its a nice way to wind down from the weekend listening to music and watching the lights of cars on the highway. Watching these cars reminds me how many people there are in this world with unique stories and situations. As I think about my own life and story I realize all though it may not be perfect and some days are harder then others I am blessed beyond belief. I know everyone says it but I REALLY have the worlds best friends. I know many people come in and out of our lives but these are the kind of friends that will be there forever. These girls know when your upset before you even say anything, they say "every guy is lucky to date one of my friends"-CP and really mean it from the bottom of their hearts, will listen to you when your having a bad day, love you even after seeing you at your worst and most importantly they are always there for me. Now if only Dallas and Houston were closer. One other huge blessing in my life is my family. I have hands down the best grandpa a girl could ask for. He is the true meaning of what a man is strong, caring, hard working and truly loves his family with his whole heart. Even in his late 80's he is still working hard to take care of his family. His biggest concern in life is to make sure everyone is doing well and happy. My mom says for as long as she can remember he has kneeled by his bed at night before he goes to bed and thanked God for the blessings in his life. It is truly a blessing for me to have this man in my life. Without even saying a word my mom reminds me every day of what it means to be strong. I have never met someone who can look such a scary prognosis in the face. She knows this battle is not going to be easy but she still puts a smile on in front of everyone and is determined to beat it. With this battle against cancer leaving her feeling tired and sick most days she still puts my sisters and I first. Anytime one of has a problem she is the first one there to help us and always will be. At the ages of 27, 24 and 20 I think she is proud of the people we have become but she knows a mothers job is never done. Lately every time we talk she gives me more advice on life then in the past. I think this is her way of making sure I will be ok should I ever have to take on this world without her and even though its a scary thought I know with everything she's taught me I will be just fine. Now on to my best friends in the whole world. I know it sounds cheesy but my sisters really are my best friends in the world they are the two people who know everything about my life. At the end of the day I know no matter what I did or said to them that day they love me. We are very similar in many ways but all three have things that make us different. The three of us together can pretty much handle anything. I know we will be close forever and be there for each other through this roller coaster ride of life. So to sum things up the people in my life are the biggest blessing in my life and all a girl could ask for....
