New Adventure

Well it has been awhile since I have wrote anything on this page so alot has gone on in my life. I have been working at a physical therapy clinic in Edmond for the past 10 months and have really met some wonderful people there. However my time there is up and I have moved on to something bigger and better. I recently excepted a position at a oil company here in OKC, Simons Petroleum. I am very excited about this new job and all the opportunity's it has with it. I will be traveling not only to northwestern Oklahoma and Texas but I will get to go to places like Chicago,St Louis, Houston, Dallas, Wyoming and many other places. I will have the opportunity to meet some different people and be able to work from home. I am new to the oil industry and everything about this new job will be new to me. However I felt like health care has taken its toll on me. I became a new person over the last year and have learned to make it work on my own. Also I just got a new apartment which I am very excited to move into. I believe that it will be a wonderful adventure for me and go for my new found self. Traveling will be good for me and I will keep you all posted on all the cool places and people I meet along the way.

Wish me luck!

Leaning to let go

~Learning to let go~

I have never been the kind of person to worry about myself. I always surround myself with people who can take care of me. I have been co-dependent on many people in my life and by doing that I am let down when I depend on someone else to make me happy. I learned yesterday that taking care of me first and depending on myself is the best option. I had been in a 5 year relationship that was headed for disaster from day one, but could not see that because of the need to depend on him to help me in everything. I thought that if I needed him he would stay, but boy was I wrong. I also noticed that I depend on my mom to always be there to help me out of a bad situation when all along what I needed was to help myself. I have been living with my brother for the past 3 years and although it has been nice to have him around I depend on him to be there. My friends....I always call them up and ask them for advice about stuff that I know I am doing right just to hear them say I am doing it correct. I wondered why that is and what is leading me to do things such as that. CO-DEPENDECY!!!! Learning to not depend on people is hard. It is not something you learn to break overnight.....it takes practice. Also it takes letting go of something that you might be depending on to break the cycle. After being in that bad 5 year relationship I learned that I don't need a man to make me happy and if he is not willing to stay then it isn't worth the trouble of trying to keep him. I can love my self and others will love me too. As for the mom situation well I am still working on that. We all need our mothers and you never know how long they will be in your life. So keep them close but don't let them control your mind. My brother and I are moving on with our adult lives. I have decided to move out and into my own apartment....yes you read that correctly MY OWN apartment. I am very scared but overly excited about this new adventure. I do rely on my friends a lot but a true friend will tell you that going with your own gut is probably the smart thing to do. Do what makes you happy and let go of the feeling of always needing someone around you to make you happy. Be your own person and do things for yourself. Sometimes letting go is the best thing you can do .

Road Trip to Santa Fe New Mexico Aug 2006

Some friends and I went to Santa Fe New Mexico a few weeks back for a girls trip. I had the time of my life and got to know these wonderful girls soooo well. We left on a Tuesday night and ended up not getting to a hotel room til 1:30am because there were no rooms in the Inn for Mary!!! :) We got up ther next morning and drove to Santa Fe..... the view was AMAZING. When we got there the fun began.....we drank cocktails and watched the BEAUTIFUL sunset. It was truley amazing. Getting to know these 3 girls was great to. I am so glad to have them in my friend circle. They make life so much fun!!! Despite all the great times we had there was the moment when the orbs took over and scared the shit out of everyone but me. ;) Here are a few pics from our trip.
