lately..

i smile soo much more.
i have spent more time with friends recently.
i honestly enjoy life more.
im takin life one day at a time.
im actually letting god take care of things..
ive discovered an amazing friend in someone i wouldnt have ever guessed to be this important to me.
im watching my little girl grow up in front of my very eyes.
she crawls like a pro..pulls up on anything she can reach..she sings and dances to anything resembling music..she take a few 'steps' if you hold her hands and guide her..ohh how the time is flying by.
i dont know what it is..but i like..well actually i love it.
and ive been told the happiness im feeling is plastered all over my face..
i couldnt deny this if i tried.

its been a while..

i havent actually blogged in quite some time now.
life is great right now.
i have finally embraced the truth that had been staring me in the face for a while. its not easy but im managing its part of growing up i suppose. im letting go of the things i can not change and truly letting God handle them. and let me tell you its tough. i want to play miss fix it and i want to make things the way i see them in my dreams. in letting go of the things i cant change i have found myself again. im happy im excited about life. dont get me wrong i wasnt depressed before i just wasnt myself. i have regained some confidence and did i mention im happy and that im smiling more? i found an old friend and i guess reunited..hes amazing. he loves me and my daughter and doesnt care what being with us may make others think. not to mention hes a soldier who soon could be sent to iraq. he was home for two weeks and i spent a lot of time with him but now hes gone again training in maryland and honestly i miss him terribly.(and hes only been gone for 5 days). so what else is new..well im lookin at getting an apartment with a great friend allyson and her daughter aubree. im ready to take that step and let myself grow up a little more. at the same time im nervous its gonna be a lot to handle. and not to mention it puts me some distance from my current job..which is gonna make life interesting. okay so now on to the good stuff right?! Desirae is dangerously close to 9 months old..try 9 days away..okay so everyone told me time would fly but i wasnt expecting it to go this fast. shes crawling like a pro..pullin up in the crib and between last night and this morning shes discovered the the couch and table are cool to pull up on to. i must let you know that she has not figured out getting down from the couch or table yet..so she will let you know she needs help..(ie. she screams til you help her.) the crib on the other hand..she has that mastered. she babbles like crazy..she acts like she knows what she talkin about. its hilarious. ill try and get it on video and then ill try to figure out how to get the video of the video camera and on the computer then on the blog..so dont hold your breath just yet. she is a big girl..we havent been to the doctor since september so im not sure on a weight but im guessin atleast 20 pounds. im saddened to report that her hair is not yet long enough to do cute girly things with..OH YEAH her ears have been peirced since sometime in october forgive im not positive exactly when. she also has two teeth on the bottom..those appeared in november near the beginning of the month and she is now diligently workin on a top one. shes a great little girl i love her more and more every minute of everyday. she is a smarty pants already and she pretty much has mommy wrapped around her little fingers.
well for now im done i promise ill try harder to keep this updated more often!
