Well hello all. (And by all, I mean the two people who might read this…) So, you know what the best part of not being able to sleep is? You realize you’ve neglected your blog, so you get to write about what has happened in the year you’ve been gone! I’d like to do a top 10 list, if you will:
10. Well, gang, I finally moved out! Yeah, I’m 30 and lived at home forever. If you believed I’m 30, I’ll hunt you down. I did get carded buying sharpies the other day, and this one girl thought I was in high school. Yes! Moving on, I have the absolute BEST roommate in the whole world. I really hit the jackpot on this one. Most of our nights are spent laughing…a lot. Downside, in November, there was a dead guy found murdered in his truck. He lived a little ways down from us. It was traumatic for about a week.
9. I’ve been going to church at Experience Life. I LOVE it! It is just the place I need to be at right now. If you’re in Lubbock, come! And it’s in the Sportsplex. Which reminds me…I practiced with the roller derby team there, twice. So, after the services I slap some skates on and zip around the rink, knocking people down.
8. I dyed my hair brown. Rhonda didn’t talk to me for a week. She was devastated and keeps asking when I’m going back to blonde. I really like it. People think Nicole and I are twins…don’t see it, but whatever.
7. Nicole and I went and saw the Jonas Brothers at the Houston Rodeo again this year. Only, Nicole, being the big spender she is, got us floor seats. We were chute club members…it was an absolute blast. And yes, I felt like a total cougar…a part from the parents bringing their kids, I was the oldest fan there. We did get stuck in Houston an extra night at a scary Deliverance-type hotel. We were literally the only women there and all types of Leatherfaces were coming out of the woodworks to catch a glimpse of their next meal.
6. All my friends have moved away! Shannel and Jacob got married in September and moved to Houston at the end of February. Courtney and Colby got married in May and (she) moved to Houston. Katie and Daniel have been married and living in Dallas. Meagan and Jeff…still in OOOOOOklahoma. And stinkin’ Heather Vassar is in Nashville being a famous recording artist…and so is Billy. Billy is actually playing in a band for a country artist who is opening for Brooks and Dunn on their farewell tour. I have to start saving up so I can make it to see everyone!
5. Tara is in nursing school at Covenant, but still hasn’t started watching Lost. That is a big deal. Speaking of Lost, the final season started. Yes please!
4. I’m still working at Parkhill, Smith & Cooper. I absolutely LOVE it and I’m so blessed and excited that they haven’t fired me yet! 
3. Breanna is the biggest spot of joy in our family right now. She is walking and talking (mostly in some language other than English) but is just SO adorable and fun to be around. She is a nut, but I love being around her and you just can’t not smile when you’re with her. She spends the night with me sometimes and we watch the “pish” (Nemo) and play with her Dora doll. She’s started randomly saying “No Tawa”…it’s hilarious.
2. Aly and I have reunited after a brief hiatus. It’s been amazing catching up with her and hanging out. I really missed it…a lot!
1. And the number one thing…Dakota had Baby Simon!! He was born 01-01-10. (Won’t be forgetting that) He is absolutely adorable and gets more and more precious everyday. I love them both so very much!
So, that’s it sweet friends. A very brief overview of what has happened since, I don’t know, last August. God has really been working through me and in me and I am so very pleased to say that I am finding peace! I can’t wait to see what the next few months have in store. Now, hopefully, my mind will stop racing so I can get some beauty sleep, otherwise, there will be a very frizzy, grumpy person trying to conduct business in the morning…
