I've Finally Almost Over It

Well today was good. We celebrated christmas with my dad today. we got money and a teddy bear. it was awesome. unfortunately all my money i'm getting during the holidays is going towards school. its great.
well i had an interesting conversation with my sister today about life.
i've learned so much lately about perspectives. ive learned to not judge, it's impossible to not judge, yes, but it is possible to be aware of the way you judge and what your judging on. I try really hard to not jump to conclusions. im also coming to really realize that not everybody sees things on the same level and that you have to just take people for who they are. you can choose to see past their imperfections and their differences from you and have a great relationship or still even love them. OR you can choose to hate them and make yours and their lives miserable. now you can choose to cut off any communication and for any random person thats whatever. however when this all comes down to family it's not the same. you have to learn to look past it all and just the love the person for who they have and what they have to offer whether its the same as you or not. which its most likely not going to be...everybodys different, duh!
yeah it really hard, i've been trying to overcome it for a really long time. i feel like im finally almost over it. its a great feelings and its helped me with everything i've been dealing with lately.
i love all of my family and i want to have the best possible relationship i can with them no matter who they are, what they do, and what they're involved with.

the beginning

well i've decided since im on this everyday checking and contributing to my family blog i mine as well start my own.

i came home for the first time in a few weeks. it was interesting. i was really excited to see my friends. Ram and Malerie especially cause they haven't seen them in the longest. Everyone else i was of course stoked to see as well. Nick, I always love seeing you.

my parents werent home, theyre on a cruise to mexico. they love to go on cruises, i do to. theyre the best ever. but since they were gone i automatically stepped into the mother position, it's natural i can't help it. its just who i am. so i was doing dishes and sweeping, constantly. but i always leave time to party. we had a great time, thats for sure.

i ran the turkey trot this morning. that was intense. 3 miles, i can't believe i finished. well i knew i would finish, i just didn't know if i could run the whole time. however, i did pretty good and finished thanks to my good friend britt. i was also very happy my aunt karen and joan were there and the twins and trace. and kurtis. haha i came home and watched the macys parade. i love that parade. its so happy. and i love happy things.

speaking of happy. joseph saved my life today. he texted me the whole time i was driving up to spokane. and yes texting saved my life. im actually pretty dang good at texting and driving, especially on a pretty empty highway. but he kept me busy so i didnt want to shoot myself. i absolutely hate the spokane-kennewick drive. so thanks joseph. we have the best conversations.

thanksgiving was just another thanksgiving. nothing special. the food was the same. ha. i did get to see one of my favorite cousins though. i havent seen nathan in the longest and now he's going to be living close to me for a little. im so excited. holidays have just lost their awesomeness as ive got older, especially since i have two of each every year. thats the way it goes with divorced parents. which is fine, im totally used to it. i also love the holidays its the greatest time of the year. i just feel i have a different experience with holidays than the average person.

who's average anyways? nobody. but ya know what i mean. or maybe you dont. but im not going to explain.

well i hope everybody had a great thanksgiving and ate a lot of great food.
