Maybe it's the season but it seems to be right around my birthday that I remember I have a blog and I decide to post something.

Ever wonder why there are certain moments in time that you can never forget?

Like, there are things that happen in this life everyday , when you will write something down just to remember it, or keep telling someone else to remind you to do something, because you know you will forget. Things happen everyday that we don't even realize and within moments it's over and until someone brings it to your attention you were not even aware it happened let alone "remember" it.

It's the moments you were completely unprepared for that stick with you forever.

Sometimes, you love to relive them , sometimes you wish you could forget.

I challenged myself today to sit down and remember.

My mind became flooded with the moments that took me by surprise, the times I shocked myself, the moments people took my breath away, the biggest mistakes I ever made, and moments that haunt me and I never want to think about again.

I tried really hard to think of something mundane, something that was little - but it all just kinda ran together into a mess of blurry thoughts and routines.

So maybe, in order to make more memories - we need to risk.

Risk what? I don't know..

Risk your health..

Risk your intelligence..

Risk your pride..

Risk your reputation..

Risk your comfort..

Chances are if you're unprepared you'll make a memory.

Two years at Staples Inc.
It's been fun.
Met some fantastic people.
I could say alot, and be all sentimental, but I really don't want too.
I think most things are better left unsaid.
Sometimes even the good things. :)

So my first full-time job.
:)
Should be good.
I've been waiting for this for a long time.

Training for a marathon.
its going ..ehhhh
but it's going.

What to say.
B is in Willard
Tim is in New York
Heather Ann is in Perryburg

A Vey Epic Summer has nearly come to an end.

I made a lot of mistakes this summer. But i also made a lot of strides.
I hurt someone, for the very last time. it rocks me to the core , when i think about all the pain i inflicted. no words could ever be enough. and i would explain myslef if i knew how.. but I can only defend what i know, and when it comes to the ways that i have turned my back on you- i know nothing, i am a blank slate.
Instead if opening my mouth before i think, from now on , to you my words will just be few.

B - Things are not like they used to be. I miss running with you, and I miss really last minute choices to watch a movie in the man cave when nothing else seemed exciting. You're such a great friend and nothing will change that . BFFL.. lol. im such a dork .

Im at a point when the next decsions i make are gonna be huge.
pretty much life defining descions.
But Im really not that scared.
I mean when you have Jesus, the things i used to fear suddenly seem so small.

My world has taken a complete 180..but im not complaining..im excited.
things are clearing up.
My questions are slowly diminishing. :)

Peace Out_

Maybe Facebook is bad for me.
Maybe cell phones are overrated.
Maybe I should spend more time alone.
Am I going to act on any of these thoughts? prolly not.
Although Ive been alone all day..hmm.

This wind is really becoming bothersome.
My hair is useless outdoors in his wind..and what good is a useless head of hair? none.

Indians Game tomorrow with my favorite people minus 1 or 2.

Booking photo shoots right and left..and feeling pretty good about it.

Its a friday night and I sit at home.. but thats okay ..I have tons of editing to do.
Videos, photos and such.

thought i would take a breather and Blog..so i did ..
THE END

A good day

today is absolutely wonderful outside.
i ran not a long run really..but a good run.
I watched my nephews draw with sidewalk chalk and myles fell asleep in my lap on the porch swing.
I plan on doind something outside this evening..and going to watch greys anatomy with heather..(we missed it last thursday.)
back to the norm tomorrow.
It had to happen sometime.

so many thoughts today...didnt have to babysit so i had some times for me.
i didnt even turn on the tv today ..although i have been on the computer a whole lot :/
So i have two incredible hospital bills..and i mean incredibly high hospital bills, from when i got food poisoning. I will eventually get them paid off i guess.
My cough gets really bad and then it stops for a while and then when i lay down at night it gets the worst of all...and i can hardly sleep..so some pray for my health, and this nasty cough would be appreciated.

Ever just feel like you have everything in place, and then you get those moments to urself and you realize nothing is coming together, and everything is out of place.
Yeah i get those.

I like to go back and listen to the songs that really mean something to me. Songs that i havent heard in a long time.
Today i listened to "Let that be enough" by switchfoot.
Its a great song .. if u dont know it ..check it out.

not too much else to say i think i'll go work out or run ..or something.lol

Hey hey !
So let me bring some people up to speed..
I recently got some what i believe to be food poisoning..
I have never felt so awful in my life, and I never want to throw up that much in that short amount of time ever again.
So i went to the hospital and all was made better and one day of resting, and the ordeal was over.
On my birthday i actually kept forgetting it was my birthday ..i was working all day..:(
But I am now 22 and feel no different yet.
Although every year does make me sit and think..
So i can't go backwards , i can only move foward, and I can't stop time , thats for sure..
SoOoOOOoooooO..
this means Heaven isn't really SO FAR AWAY..like i have always told myself ..
(Some of my more older wiser friends will prolly find this entertaining...)
It kinda scares me, it kinda excites me, and it really makes me feel insignificant in this huge PLAN God has for me.
But ya know what?... Thats okay. I can be insignificant.
If You're comparing me to God, or his plans, or this world he has created, I am insignificant and proud to say it, and proud to serve the God , that rules over this world and all my thoughts.
