Salutations

I have not created any new posts in a while. For a long time I have not felt the urge to write and I almost forgot my passion for it. Since my last post alot of things have changed, even though the majority of the changes have been good there are still those that are unsetteling and make me feel that my life still needs room for improvement.

As far as my dad's health, he is doing much better. He has given my family our share of scares but things are finally getting back to normal and I am so greatful for that. Last weekend we went to Vegas as a family, our first family trip in almost a year and it felt great. My parents had not been to the Strip and years and they were surprised at all the changes. I got to cross one thing off my previous summer wish list because I got to have more than a few beers with my dad and we gambled the night away. We even went to Hoover Dam and threw a coin off the bridge and made a wish like we always said we would one day. This past weekend reminded me of what it is to be a family, I love my family with all my heart and I know there is no love like that.

As far as love, not so lucky. I still will not give up on my values, I refuse to believe that you have to be a bitch to a guy to get him. I am learning that to others you really are considered the company that you keep and at times that can be a problem.

Regarding the company that I keep, I am blessed to have the friends that I do. Each one of my friends is different in their own way and I love that about them. It does hurt that I have fallen away from some, it is not how I pictured my summer to start but everything happens for a reason and things always have a way of working themselves out.
