Ups and Downs

Well, it's the middle of the week, and it certainly has been a trying one.

I know that God gives us trials for a reason, to build our character and give us an opportunity to show us that we really love Him. I had to re-learn that this week. I certainly did not act the proper way a Christian should act, and I've found myself praying for forgiveness a lot. But this is good. I need to realize some things about myself. I need to be slow to anger.

Because life will always have its ups and downs. And I've got to be prepared to handle them.

God is good, and that will always be the case. He's worked some miracles in our family this week, that's all I'll say.

In other news, I made a 10 out of 10 on my informative speech about the Dark-Hunter series in Communications. I picked a topic I'm well-versed on, made a pretty rockin' powerpoint, and here we are: a perfect A on the assignment. Woo-hoo! What a rush.

I had some left-over money from my Dallas trip so I bought a new Kathy Van Zeeland purse, since my Coach one was falling apart. I also bought a bigger backpack, an Ed Hardy backpack to be precise, and it's gorgeous. When Bryan saw me in it, he goes, "Ooooh girl, now you're going to WANT to go to school!" haha, He's so right.




Every new day I am stunned by how much love I have for my animals. Today I went upstairs to my room to get some homework done, and Daisy settled on the end of my bed while Bella said cuddled up next to me. There's just a complete, happy feeling that comes over you -- or at least me -- when it seems like this fluffy little being has unconditional love for you and needs you so much. But I need them just as much. Heck, I mean, I can hardly sleep unless Bella is next to me. They mean so much to me. And God has blest me so much with a great family who also loves animals, and has enough means to take care of many!

And finally.... I'm going to lose weight. I have to. I'm pretty healthy now, but I'd like to be healthier. I'd like to look good. And I'd like for him to admit that he's in love with me... he won't do that unless he is proud to be seen with me. So Bryan is going to help me in this endeavor. I'll never be skinny, but I'd like to reach that "curvaceous buxom beauty" stage.

Hopefully I'll start updating sooner?
