Big Decisions

I have a friend who is going through a messy divorce. Lawyers, kids the whole shebang. So much pain and stress. It makes me think back to my divorce a few years ago. I was so lucky to have it end so easily. The whole thing took only 2 weeks and cost under a $100.00. Easy divorce online made the process take less than an hour. Enough time has passed that mostly I don't even feel like I was ever married to a crazy Hungarian, rather like a had a bad dream.

Life has taught me that Marriage can be a gamble a lot of the time. You never know what life will be like with that person 20 years down the road. I know some people are happily married and I say good for them. I hope to find that someday. My question is how can you really know who a person is? People can pretend to be a caring compassionate person and turn out to be a creep. I guess one thing you can do is give it time. Don't rush into a marriage like you are in a race. Take time to know the person. Go on a trip. Do random things together. One big thing I always do is imagine what would it be like living with this person. I have to be careful though because when I do this I often get scared and end the relationship. You must somehow find the balance and make the right decision.

The joys of Landlord Ship

This is a photo from a photo shoot with my awesome roomate Diantha. Amazing. I love her so much.

It was bound to happen I had my first conflict to deal with a tenant/roomate. My roomate Melissa told me the other night "I'm moving out". No pre-warning just put it right out there. I was shocked, and actually asked her a few times to make sure she wasn't joking. She definantly was not joking. She had signed a year contract so she had to find a replacement. Luckily I posted the condo up the next day and had her contract sold the next day. It was amazing to see how in demand the condos I own are. Craig's list is amazing. So what could be a terrible experience turned out okay. But I did learn a lot from the situation. That's the thing about conflict it's hard but you learn so much through it. I had a realization that I am in charge a lot in my life. I am a supervisor at work and at home. But that is what happens as an older single. Man I hope I get married someday.

So I now Have two awesome roomies. I couldn't be more pleased with them. It's nice to have non-drama roomates that are content with life.

Summer and Mandy

Terrifying isn't it!!!

Summer and Caffeine Addict

Recently I have had to come to terms that I am addicted to 2 things currently in my life. 1 is uplifting the other is a problem.

First there is Summer my little sister. The more I have her in my life the more I NEED her. She has very strong powers. I don't think I am the only addict though. Others have fallen to:) So why the addiction? First and foremost she is hilarious!! Most times I am with her I pee my pants with glee. Any time you spend with her an adventure is sure to follow. She is so good and pure like a rainbow of delight. When I say good I mean you want to be a better person when you are around her. I love her. She really does have a gift. If you don't know my sister Summer then get to know her. It's not too late. Honestly Good times lie ahead to those who know her.

On the other hand Caffeine is my vice. My roomate challenged me to give up caffeine on Sunday. Since it is so bad for you. I lasted 1 day and a half. HEhehe!! So I say to the cosmos HELP!!! I don't like needing something to feel alive.

Pushy People

I don't like pushy people!! Those who feel like they own the world. I wish we could gather them up and send them to an island.

"Oh I'm trying to love technology always and forever always and forever"

For my Mass media class I have to write on a blog once a week. I have been meaning to create a blog for awhile now so I'm glad to get a push to get on it. In the last few months I have embraced so much technology it's a miracle. I got a macbook, my first ipod (an ipod touch). I still have a lot to learn but that is A okay. Soon enough I will be a pro. The other night Aaron showed me how to use picture booth on the mac so we took a ton of pictures.

Life is good living in Orem. I just bought a condo only 1 mile away from my office. I have awesome roomates that help pay for my mortgage. I feel lucky to have found them. Diantha is a third grade school teacher. Melissa is a rock star!!! I guess you could say I'm on my way to being an adult. When do you really feel like an adult though? I'll be 30 this year and in so many ways I still feel like a kid. I don't know how people my age could have kids that are 11. Maybe you never feel ready until it happens? I'm sure having a supportive husband would help.

Anyhew I'm just rambling on. Till next week I hope it's a good one for everyone.
