He's Home!!

Today has been a wonderful day!  It started very early with me getting up at 5am, but it was worth it very much!!  I got to the Hendrickson's home, and we loaded up to head to Dallas.  Todd was coming home today from serving two years in Chile, and I was not going to miss seeing him!!!

It was absolutely amazing seeing him, and I cried.  I was the first person to see him, and they all said I was jumping straight up and down like their dog Lilly.  LOL!  I didn't care one bit as I just know I saw him, and was so excited!

Todd is like a little brother, best friend, guy I've known for years.  He is absolutely amazing, and it was just fun to be with him all day.  I have missed him so much, and he is now home!  It's going to be different since I am married now as we won't get to hang out like we used to or just talk forever.  But he's home, and that's all that matters!!!

So Many Thoughts

It's 12:38am, and I am still up.  I really don't know why as I worked a busy day today, yesterday, the day before, and the day before, and well, the day before.  However, I am still up.  The brain keeps going, and I'm just trying to find out where to place it all.

1) I miss dancing so much!  Once I get some money, I'm thinking I'm going to check out The Bar Method.  It would bring back some ballet in my life, and maybe help me feel a little better about myself.  I do not like how my body is right now, and I know, I just have to get out there and do something.  But that's hard to do alone - when you aren't really sure what you need to do.

2) Oh the self image.  Okay, I know it's something I probably talk about a lot, but it effects me just that much.  I don't like my hair, my skin color, or my weight.  I've never liked the proportions of my body, but that's a little better.  I paid to fix what I couldn't stand.  Hey - it works!

3) Work has become my life!  I think about it all the time, and I just hope that I can be the best manager possible.  I hope that I can help my employees out to grow and gain skills.  Don't ever go from a boring desk job to an on your feet all day, every day job.  It certainly gets to you, but I'm loving it!  I love working for maurices!  It's an amazing company, and I hope to be there till I just can't go anymore.

4) So I want my own family - my own children; however, I don't want to give up work.  Well, I don't plan on it.  I will be that mom who puts her child in daycare at a very early age.  I grew up in daycare, and I turned out perfectly fine.  My children will have 6-12 weeks of me, and then it's time to get back to work.  But then it just makes me wonder... do I even need to have children?  I don't want to raise children in this area anyways, and then I won't even be around.  For some that's such an easy answer, but for me, I really am not sure.  I guess if/when that time comes, I'll figure something out.  I mean, I do work for an amazing company that wants you to have family time!  And of course, I think about getting pregnant and having the worst issues with gaining weight.  UGH!

See... I told you my brain was running.

5) Church!  That will probably always be a battle, and everyone will have their opinions about it.  To some it's so easy, and to others, it just doesn't make sense.  I haven't been for a month for one reason or another, and won't be there for another two weeks.  Honestly, I don't miss it.  I guess I probably should, but I never really enjoyed going so why would I miss it.  Right now, I couldn't tell you where I wanted to be or what I wanted in this area.  I thought I knew, but I must not have.  It really shouldn't be this hard, and it shouldn't split people, families apart!  And besides, I can promise you that the best people I know are not LDS.  Not that I don't know some great people who are, but really, the best people I know are not LDS or at least not active.

Just a lot to think about, and I'm sure there's so much more.  Like why I had a dream that I was running away from some creeps trying to I guess kill me with someone else and my dog Lexie.  Yea, that was weird!

UTAH!

The Utah trip was a great trip!  It's going to be so weird going back to work tomorrow, but I have enjoyed having a break.  We had a lot of fun with each other, and just enjoying the beautiful weather.  Oh, I would love to be back there!!

I'm sad that I didn't get to see everyone, but I know I'll get back!  There's no doubt about it!

One last exciting thing... tomorrow is my first day as STORE MANAGER!!  I'm so excited to be going back to maurices!!  It's going to be great!!!
