Ran a Hash trail on Saturday afternoon. Now THAT was fun! It has been a busy week with all of my physical activities. I like hiking and riding on trails. Always did as a kid, too. When my parents couldn't find me...it was because I was off trekking in the trees at the pond at the end of the runway or in the trees somewhere out on the property. Yes I like to climb...yes I like to read and write, ride my bike, and run (sometimes), and I like to camp...all in hopes of getting rid of excessive mental thoughts and just BE in my skin.
This time there are plans that came out of being on the trail.
I really want to live in a place that has trees all around it...and trails...and green fields. So after I get my bestest friend home from Korea...it will be time to sell my condo and look for a different place. Not exactly sure WHERE just yet....but I really like the idea of eventually being in Washington State, Colorado, or maybe even upper Oregon....some where around there. It is gonna take a few years but that is okay.
Daddy?
Are you ready for your eldest daughter to look at her living up around you?
I have thought about it really hard. I will miss being around my friends and my children and my family that live here.
I just want to be in that area of the country.
I have friends and family that live in those areas too. I know that some of my friends plan on moving in that direction eventually.
Don't get me wrong....Texas has been wonderful. I have so many friends here....real friends. I know a lot of people too.
I want adventure of a new area and I want to LOVE where I will live.
I like the activities of city life...but I like the activities of skiing, rock climbing, trail running, mountain and road bike running, and camping the most. I can be happy in either situation.
I know enough people in my life that will come to visit me, too!
I can always travel back to visit my loves that stay here also. Everyone knows how much I like to travel around...and I have no problems with doing so by myself.
I recognize that I have a lot of talent and love. Why stay in one place and keep it all so local?
I really love my life, my friends, my family....and my choices.
There has been investigation on my part, and applications sent, in regards to adoption of a child.
In the long run...it isn't workable financially for me now.
I can, however, do fostering or Big Sisters. I do like the idea of the Big Sisters at this time. I love kids. Always have. My daughter doesn't want to provide me with grandbabies...just yet ;) and my son hasn't found the woman of his life ...just yet.
My niece doesn't want to have children. I love the kids for their decisions in their lives...and I am SO very proud of them, too!
This is something I want to do FOR ME. Now my step brother has 2 twin boys and 4 step children....and I think that Candice (eldest step daughter of David and his wife Renee) may be momma #1 of the great-grandchildren for my dad and stepmother. My step sister Debbie had a wonderful baby boy named Jordan 3 months ago. Barry and Debbie are truly blessed. They had their son at Debbies' spry age of 47. AMAZING! He is SO very cute.
There have been a lot of changes in my life and in my growth emotionally.
I also have offically lost 50 pounds. Yeah me! Slowly lost the weight so that it will stay off of my body!
I want to loose another 40 but my roommates Bob and Sharon think that may be too thin for me. We will see.
I have had enough of writing for now.
Time make a few gifts with my talented self so I can share the wealth!
hehehehe
Love to all...and LOTS of laughter!

Momma...adoption? Jordan and I both think that's extremely noble and very humanitarian of you, but (sorry, gotta play the word of "reason") can you financialy and emotionaly do that? I mean, I don't see anything wrong with it, so long as you can offer the "child" better than what they currently know. Bla bla bla, insert more words of wisdom and logic....
love you
Make sure you read ALL of what I wrote....financially it would not work. THAT is why I am talking to them about Fostering or possibly doing the Big Sister program.
I think it is great that you care blah blah blah (insert more words of wisdom and LOGIC here). LOL :)
Emotionally, yes I can handle it. I hope you remember that I always seem to have children around me. My older age has allowed me to know more about how to work with individuality and how to support that growing personality. I had two WONDERFUL children that taught me a lot about myself.
Please note: It isn't 'noble and humanitarianly' driven. It is selfish because I enjoy children and watching their minds grow. The playfulness in life... SHOULD be shared and taught where needed.
I love you, too, Baby Girl and My Music Man Son.....
Momma
"Let each day be your Masterpiece"
*sigh* Washington...Oregon...Colorado... Yes! I agree completely. One day, maybe we'll all be able to say that we truly love where we live. And be able to hike right out of our front door.
Foster Momma, huh? I'd have to agree with Amanda on that one...very noble (even if you see it as selfish). And those kids are definitely in need of a little love and someone who genuinely cares (not to mention has the energy to keep up with them!!!).
Hope your holidays are absolutely wonderful! We probably won't see you before then, but we're up for dinner or game night or whatever after we get back from our well-needed break...
