Here

For some unknown reason, I decided to watch “The Exorcist” last night. Why, after going almost 26 years without ever watching it, would I submit myself to that movie is beyond me. Needless to say, the movie resulted in keeping me up all night with nightmares, so I’m exhausted today! I even went and slept in one of my vacant units on my lunch break! Good thing I (very randomly) had an extra pillow in my car! =)

……………

As I stated yesterday, I’m a big fan of country music.. especially Rascal Flatts. Well today while I was driving into work I heard their new song “Here”, and some of the lyrics really hit me.

           …….

           And I wouldn’t change a thing,
           I’d walk right back through the rain
           Back to every broken heart
           On the day that it was breakin’

           And I’d relive all the years
           And be thankful for the tears
           I’ve cried with every stumble, step
           That led to you and got me here
           Right here, oh, baby           

           It’s amazin’, what I let my heart go through                                                                      
           To get me where it got me
           In this moment here with you

           And it passed me by
          God knows how many times
          I was so caught up in holdin’
          What I never thought I’d find

          I know now
          There’s a million roads I had to take
          To get me in your arms this way

          …….

Now, obviously I haven’t found that love yet, but these lyrics really got me thinking about how badly I’m ready to find it. By no means do I feel that I’m old, but the fact that I’ll be 26 in just a few months and am still 100% completely single doesn’t always sit so well with me. And honestly, it doesn’t help that my baby brother is engaged, and my younger sister is in a committed relationship with a man that she has a son with.

And I don’t want to just find a boyfriend. I could have a boyfriend easily if that’s all I really wanted. I’m ready to find my partner. I’m established in my career, secure in who I am, and am ready to start that next chapter in my life. I’m ready for lazy Sunday’s eating pizza and watching the game cuddled up on the couch, for someone to be at home waiting and excited to hear about my great (or horrible) day at work, for someone to reach for my hand as we’re crossing the street and to guide me through rooms with his hand at the small of my back.

The small things… that’s what I want and what I’m ready for.

         

          

 

One of these days..

I’ll stop being such a dang blog slacker! Live has been crazy busy so it’s hard trying to find time to post. Since I’ve been so busy, I have tons to write about though!!

So I don’t have to worry about having this insanely long post, I’ll keep it short and sweet…

~ Apparently the dating gods are shining on me right now! I’ve met a couple of new guys in the past few weeks that are actually worth dating. There’s one in particular, I’ll call him Becks (he’s a soccer player), that I’ve already seen more than once! And he’s making me dinner this week so that will be three dates (and a group hang out) in a week and half. Not too shabby! I’ve also got a couple of other casual dates lined up in the next couple of weeks.

~ It’s August which means it’s almost… FOOTBALL TIME!! I can not wait for the new Cowboys season! And speaking of football.. Brett Favre is a Jets now?!?! Crazy!

~ Work is kicking my butt lately! I’m so over working my tail off for hardly any return. Thankfully I have some new options that I’m exploring right now! Cross your fingers for me =)

~ I’m planning another mini-vacay soon. I’ve already taken off Friday and Monday.. four day weekend here I come!

~ On a completely unrelated note, I am *completely* obsessed with the new Heidi Newfield Song “Johnny and June”. I listen to it no less than 5 times a day. It’s quite bad! (And by bad.. I mean awesome!)

Hopefully I’ll have some new updates regarding Becks and all other potential boys soon!  =)
