I was writing to an old friend from high school and realized just how sweet life is...
LOL!
It was crazy! I ran into Missy at C&B last May when I was in town for my 10 yr reunion! We were just shopping and I was like "I have to go in here!" and there she was behind the counter in my favorite section - glassware! hehe I had all new margarita glasses shipping home to me! I felt like a posh snowbird - yes I am on vacation, can you ship this to me? hehe...
Well, went to college, had A LOT of fun, fell in love, broke up, fell in love, got an apartment, got a cat, bought a condo, got another cat, got my master's degree, and made it legal! (we haven't had the reception yet, so we have only been telling people a little at a time!).
My brother and sister are going great! Jon is engaged with a 2 yr old. Jeni is married with a 1 yr old and a 2nd one on the way! My parents are still trucking along! We have huge football parties all the time in the fall and BBQ's in the summer. We are very blessed and live a pretty sweet life!
I work at U of M as a department assistant for Political Science and I also work at a conference center as a wedding planner on the weekends and do Slumber Parties (adult all women home parties!) as well! Both part time jobs are a BLAST and I love it all!

Reason & Season
PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inco nvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.
