LOL you're right, Thelma

My dream is to one day open my own restaurant, or preferably, diner employed by family and friends. I love cooking, and baking it is a recent passion of mine I discovered. I do it at least once a day... I gather as many recipes as I can & try them out. I've only had one dud so far, and that was courtesy Rachel Ray and her broiled garlic Parmesan plum tomatoes.

One of my important goals is to be the most present (mentally, physically) person to my family as possible. It goes by so fast, I hope I am the type of person who can enjoy it in the moment, instead of letting little things distract me and take from that. I hope to put many of the things about relationships I've learned through observation and sharing in others lives and mistakes, as well as my own to good use.
Though I know, there are no hand books and you have to wing it as you go along and only grow better in time.

I am proud of myself for waiting as long as I have in waiting to get married and start a family. (though my fiance' Brad, is to be congratulated and praised on this as well, because it takes two) I am proud that I know when to admit I've messed up, swallow my pride and move on. I am proud of being open minded enough to grow.

My favorite things in life have to be laughter. The peace and comfort that comes with sharing a silent moment with the person who knows you best in world. Appreciating the beauty, speed and finality of time and how your life is forever changed as it constantly sweeps, touching over you and everything in your life. Animals and day dreaming lol nothing like getting lost in your own head filled with thought.

I look forward to everything, the good the bad and learning as much as I can. Without life experiences, we wouldn't be who we are today. It is hard enough trying to get it all to soak in and stay with you.

My favorite person has to be Brad, I grew up with him and he is the only person I have known this amount of time outside of family that I still have a regular relationship with. (The closest one!)

That's me at 25 lol February 29th- 4:03 pm
