Woah..
Woah.. its been a while.. sorry about that folks. Things have been crazy, as I'm sure you can imagine. They have been good though. Life has been good.. well for the most part. I don't know.. ever since my dad had the stroke and what not, I have learned to appreciate life and the things I have a lot more.. and I guess this negitivity jusy kinda left me. I mean.. things could have been worse, and thank God they weren't, and my family and I have been able to get through it, with the help of the most amazing friends and family in the entire world. There are people who are in worse positions than we are, and we are truthfully lucky to have been able to recover from everything.

My dad has been home for a while, and was able to celebrate Christmas with us. We had the most amazing Christmas ever.. I couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect Christmas to tell you the truth, and whats even better was bringing in the New Year with my family, dad included! That was truely the happiest of holidays for me. Dad is doing pretty good. He is walking on his own without the use of the wheelchair and cane. He has a limp, but that will improve with time, and as he practices walking more and more. He can't use his left arm at all yet, and we are worried he may not get the use of that hand back, but we are hopeful that he will gain some sort of feeling and movement in it. He is talking fine, and he's back to his old joking, pain in the butt self again, who likes to bust everyones chops. We missed that!!! ;) Oh, I am so happy that he is home and that he is going to be ok!!!

Johnny Funk is one cool boyfriend. Its been pretty cool. It just get frustrated because he lives out in Selden and I can't see him everyday. I get to see him like once a week, and if I'm lucky I'll see him twice in one week.. woo hoo.. oh man its frustrating.. but we should be ok. Hes a sweet guy, and he is wonderful when it comes to my family and my friends, although he only met Jenn and Mike so far. Hes friends with Chris already so I don't have to worry about getting his approval.

I have to say, I love life.. yea it has its downs, but I have come to realize that things could be so much worse off, and my life doesn't even come close to being a horrible thing. I have so many things to be thankful for and even more things to be hopeful for and I can face anything head on at this point and come out the shining victor. The most powerful movie of all time said it best and I quote.. 'Hate is baggage. Lifes too short to be pissed off all the time". So the best advice that I have to give at this point, after being through all that I have been through within the last two years and most importantly the last few months, is get over yourself, and get over that self pity.. all of that negitivity bullshit.. its just feeling like you arent good enough for the world.. and if that was the truth of things.. that you aren't good enough for the world.. then you wouldnt be here.. you werent put on this world to sit around and sulk about every little obstacle that life throws at you, or every little problem that you may feel you aren't strong enough to handle, because you really are strong enough to handle it. You are only thrown challenges that you are capable of overcoming. Life sucks sometimes.. but remember it could always be worse. Everything happens for a reason, and I always thought that stupid saying was the biggest load of crap that I had ever heard in my life.. but I never realized how true it is, as I do now. And if all else fails.. when life gives you lemons, squeeze the juice into a water gun and squirt it into other peoples eyes! ;)

I am gonna go for now. Probably gonna finish up a movie and then drift off to sleep. I have a million and one things to accomplish tomorrow, and I want to see Johnny tomorrow night as well.. so goodnight everyone.. and sweet dreams!
