Guess I'll have to settle with hour long drives between Louisville-Lexington and Springfield-Louisville as the extent of my traveling for the next few months. Sigh...

What I need.
I'm happiest when I'm with people I love...
I'm second happiest when I'm in a car or on an airplane because it either means I'm going somewhere new or I'm going back to somewhere I love. I was made to travel and explore new places. Seriously, that's what my soul was designed for. That's when I'm at peace. When everything's up in the air and I have no idea what I'm doing with
my life, being 35,000 feet above ground gives me time to clear my head
and think things through. That's what I need now.
I feel like I'm kinda in a slump right now because I want need to travel somewhere, and I don't have the time and/or money. I do not like being a big girl with responsibilities and bills to pay.

V-Day
Its that time of year again...when fake romance and cheesy cliches vomit red, pink, and heart shaped chocolate all over store shelves.
I really don't understand Valentine's Day. Why do two people, who are dating or in a relationship or who just like each other, need a specific day set aside to buy each other cute greeting cards and chocolates? I don't get it. Shouldn't couples be showing each other that they care every day and not just on February 14th?
I've almost always been single on V-Day. [One year I had a boyfriend who planned out a really cute horse drawn carriage ride through town. He got me a picture frame engraved with our names and a teddy bear(of course!). I had fun, but not any more fun than I would've had if it was just another date on another random day.] Most single girls sit at home and mope about being alone on V-Day, but I don't understand why. We're no more single on February 14th than we were on the 13th or will be on the 15th, so what's the big deal on that one day?? Go buy yourself some overpriced chocolate in a heart shaped box and be happy about it!!
Am I the only one who feels this way about V-Day??

Starting this over.
AGAIN.
So I'm a college graduate now and living in a new city. I moved 7 months ago for a job that I love. I don't love the hours, but I love what I get to do for people. If you know me well enough, you already know what this awesome "big girl" job is. Its awesome and you should be jealous you don't work there. This job has allowed me to meet SO many awesome people/families/parents/kids. And it teaches me every day that I need to be more thankful for what I've already been given. We all should be. Even if you don't have much, it can all be taken away in a second.
In the past 4 months, I've met two of the strongest 5 year olds. Seriously, I thought I was a strong person(don't get me wrong, I still am). But what I've been through is nothing compared to the hurdles placed in front of these 2 kids. Yet they both bear them with smiles. Every Day. One's been in a wheelchair since he was 2. C is currently undergoing physical therapy to hopefully get him walking again. P has an inoperable brain tumor. The doctors said by this point in her chemo/radiation, she'd be tired all the time, lethargic, not wanting to run or play. But P's the exact opposite. P still chooses to take stairs over the elevator and can outrun the parents like nobody's business. P would probably also win the hide and seek gold medal, if it existed. These two kids inspire me every day. I want to be like P and C when I grow up.
