Greetings :)

SNOW in the 'Ville'!

Hello there....Young and the Restless here---checking in with everyone. So the new year has been going pretty good so far. All my jobs and music are going really well. I can't complain. I'm meeting tons of people and making lots of connections. This town is doing good for me. I can't believe it is almost the first of February. Life is kinda flying by and then the other half is not. So my roomie got a boyfriend. Super cool guy. Love him....really I do :) I've known him since freshman year. He is super sweet to her and they are super cute together. Glad she found someone that cares for her so much. I'm soooo happy for her---but I do have to admit that I'm kinda sad at times. This long distance stuff can be rough sometimes. Wes and I are really strong in our relationship--so I'm not really worried about it...but I won't lie... I miss him a lot which that is really hard in general to deal with; however, then the creative juices start flowing--so I write a song. All in all Tragedy, Loneliness, and Heartache= great song material....hahahahaha :)


BUT hold on a second....Let's talk about my AMAZING boyfriend for a minute. He IS my rock! He is so strong for himself and for me in my moments of weakness. He is my best friend. I can call and talk with him about anything---and for the times when I am sad or lonely---he is right there to comfort me and to make me laugh-so that I will forget about the sadness and focus on our future. I love my honey with all my heart and I am so glad that I have a strong man by my side.

I have been writing with some awesome people here in the 'Ville'. Some great stuff has come out of writing in groups. It's pretty amazing to see first hand the talent that is in this place. Had a "jam" session the other night---which was really cool! A little bit of wine/beer can go a long way in the writing/jamming process.....hahahaha. DISCLAIMER: This only happens on occasion. :) I am almost finished with my EP. I know I know this has taken FOREVER...however, sometimes this process can take a long time to sound really good. I am just waiting on the graphics to come in so I can send it off. Hopefully that will be in the next few days.


So my brother is interviewing for medical schools. And let me just say how extremely proud I am of him. He is truly a brilliant man--and I respect him and look up to him so much. He's the guy that makes his dreams come true. He is my hero. He is going to make an amazing doctor wherever he decides to go. Love you big bro :)

Being on my own is pretty cool. I've learned a bunch. Managing money, taking care of bills, figuring out when I can hang out with friends because my life is based on what time I have to get up to go to work the next day.....hahahaha....being a grown up has it's points of awesomeness...but let's not over do that statement ;) I love my family too---they have been super supportive throughout this experience.

My friends are really amazing. I have been truly blessed with such awesome friends. Friends who care about me, want to be there no matter what, and friends that will just go out with you cause you need to go out.

Well enough blabber for now...until next time, "Fragile. Don't drop."----Posted on a Boeing 757.

Happy New Year!

Hello all....Happy New Year from the Young and the Restless! ;) Well here we go....got to spend a little time with family, friends, and my honey for Christmas and New Years. So grateful to have them in my life. I know that I would not be the person I am today without their love and support. Thank you to all. Starting the year off right with work--hahahah! Which in this economy--is very much a blessing! I love the people that I am working with and everyday is a new experience to listen, be a friend, or be a blessing to someone who needed kindness. I am very much excited for the new year! I think it's the thrill of the unknown that has me going. I'm excited to figure out new things, to make new friends, and to see where the Lord is going to take me on my life journey.

On a side note....saw the movie Avatar last night with some friends---Cool movie; however, it was a tad bit long for me--hahaha. It could have been 30-45min shorter and I would have been fine with it. The Director did a nice job though--and the cinematography was really cool. (sorry if I spelled that wrong)---anyways---

Just wanted to write a little bit...not a whole lot more to say. So I will leave you with this, "Friendship is a sheltering tree." Make sure to tell your friends how much you love them.
