I have to say that I am glad this year is finally coming to an end. This year has been one of my most trialing years ever, as I have continued to juggle working nights, having a long distance relationship, and becoming an advocate and sole care provider in every way for my mom when she fell ill early this year. I must first and foremost thank the LORD for giving me the strength and helping me see my way through. I also must thank the lord for helping to aid my mother back to health through out the year. Although, we are not yet 100%, I have to say that we are a heck of a lot better than we were yesterday!!! Each day is a new and better day! And for that I am so very thankful. I must thank my mom for helping me become the person I am today! I am genuine, I am real, I am loving, I am strong because of my mom and I will continue to pray that she will find her way again, because after all she has been through, nobody deserves it more!!!I also must thank ALL my friends who keep it real, keep it fun and keep it live for me! I especially want to thank those who have supported me and been there for me through thick and thin: Kristina, we have known each other since pre K...She knows me like a sister...Maria, since 5th grade...We are still as crazy and silly together as we were back then...Kathy, my up all night buddy...an inspirational wife, mom, sister, and friend...She can listen to me til I turn blue in the face not to mention some hilarious drunken nights...Lisa, my nursing school drill girl...I am so glad those days of studying are over...We survived it and so did our friendship...Marissa, my texan traveler...Half the time I can't remember where she's at but she always understands me and sees me through...even brings me flowers when she finds me blue...What can I say these girls are my rocks...I would do anything for them! Cuz that's what TRUE friends are for!Last but definatley not least, I am blessed to have a man who completes me!!! Joel Edralin, one of my bestest of my BESTEST FRIENDS and my super hot LOVER!!! Our love sizzles, LOL! He makes me feel like a woman and a giddy little girl all wrapped up in one! What more can I ask for? Who woulda knew when we met each other 4 years ago that we would be so in love. Although sparks flew from the very beginning, we didn't start dating til about 2 1/2 years ago and we made it OFFICIAL when he declared his love to me after a short seperation...It'll be 2 years this January '09! I knew from the get that he had a special purpose in my life and each and every day that goes by now, I know why. I love him, he loves me, and so much more...we complete each other and we are IN LOVE with one another!!! Through our ups and downs, ins and outs, and across the miles, we learn knew things about each other each and every day and continue to grow STRONGER!!! And although being long distance has been extremely difficult, we have continued to make it work. And the work will soon finally pay off, as in the next couple months, he will finally be moving here and moving in with me, so we can continue to build our life together!!! : )
