My little girl

She's no longer a little girl. She is growing up to be the kind of girl I prayed and hoped she would become. She is brave, smart, and has the biggest heart of anyone I know.

She is kindhearted, always wanting to help those less fortunate. I remember once her second grade teacher told me that during recess one day, Aimee stopped playing with her friends because one of the handicapped boys was playing by himself. Aimee went over to him, sat on the floor, and made up a game he would be able to understand and played with him. Her teacher started tearing up telling me this story. That's the kind of girl Aimee is.

She recently started playing the saxophone. It makes me so happy to see her finally invested and doing something she is good at and enjoys. She's really good too! She's been playing only two weeks. Her band teacher told her that she was the best in the class. So start asking for her autograph now!

I thank God for bringing her into my life every single day. I love her more than anything, and can't wait to see the woman she will grow up to be.

Why is karma so slow?

Sometimes it is so hard to realize that being a good person and doing the right this will pay off. Especially when I see people who are so mean and selfish and vindictive and cruel getting the good things in life. And pointing fingers at me for being the bad person. I'm trying so hard to develop the SIU attitude and look at what's really important in the big picture, but it's so so so so so hard. Especially when we have to keep dealing with it every day. So I need prayers or good vibes or whatever that 1. he becomes a better person and 2. I can wait that long.

Speed dating real date number 1

So I went on the first date from speed dating. Never once have I thought, "Gee...dating adults is boring, I wonder what it would be like to date a frat boy." Everything, from the comic book tattoo to the conversation revolving around his love for Spongebob to the fact that he lives with three guys like a frat boy, helped me to decide that from now on, I am only dating grownups who act like grownups.
