I moved to Kansas City in 2006 after college. I am very VERY blessed to have all that I do in my life. My family is AMAZING. They are a TOP priority in my life. My younger brother and his 6 ye old son are my roommates; the best roommates EVER and probably what has filled me up w/ happiness in the past year. I have many amazing friends, too. Without them, I would not be where I am today. They believe in me when I don't and help me see past the struggles that I am temporarily blinded by.
Obsessions with: greek yogurt, crystal light, music, red wine, dirty martinis, tequila shots, sushi, heels, Victoria's Secret, swim suits, skinny jeans, green tea (hot, cold and latte), Entourage, skiing, the lake, swimming, bball, college and pro football, attending baseball games, college hoops, beer snob beer and my nephew that I get to play pseudo mom to every Friday. Since treatment two years ago, I have really starting coming into my own. I have to say, it is an amazing feeling to be my own person and not what I think everyone else wants me to be. The only person I have left fight is ME! :)
When I go out, I love getting all dolled up and dancing my booty off. Putting on a dress and one of my 50 pairs of 5 inch heels makes me feel damn sexy!!! I also putting on some skinny jeans and booties and having a pitcher of Natty and/or a tasty microbrew at a local dive bar. Or, taking it easy in my KSU comfy clothes on the couch with vino and a movie is probably one of my most favorite kinds of nights. Cuddling is probably the best thing ever...next to kissing of course. I love being loud, singing and dancing and making a fool out of myself. I am not perfect. I love that. I am a work in progress. I hope to always be. Whenever I stop changing, then I stop growing and there is always room for improvement and ALWAYS something to be learned from someone around you.
I stutter when I am nervous and I can be really shy at times. I still think I am going to be swept off my feet one day. I am a hopeless romantic. I am naive. I go way out of my way for others. I really need to be more selfish. I need to tell people what it is I want from them. I strive for perfection but this journey is lessening my need to control so many things. Self Acceptance and Self Talk have been a HUGE part of my life in the past few years; it has been one HELL of a roller coaster ride figuring this thing called LIFE out. I love too often, forgive too easily and trust too quickly. I have historically taken better care of others than I do myself and that is what I am constantly working on balancing out. For some reason, I try and bear all of the pain and suffering of my loved ones so that they don't have to. No one is perfect. Although it is difficult at times and I often wonder if I will ever figure it all out, I still love being me and I love my life....For REAL. It feels SO good to be able to say that AND believe it. This is my journey to forever Live Healthy.
