today was a fairytale...

To quote Miss Swift, today (well, this past Thursday) was a fairytale.

Why? Because I met TAYLOR!

I was in LA for work (very fun work i may add) and was working from the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Beverly Hills. I could get into the details of the long story, but for sake of keeping it short basically, she came into the cafe while I was there. I will post the full story later when I have more time.

While so many things are CRAZY in my life right now, it's funny how GREAT things can happen too! That's life!

when life gives you lemons...

make lemon aid. And BOY, It's going to be some SWEET lemon aid when I am done!!

One big lemon is my car. It basically went to the shitter and the cost to repair it is just under $3K. My car is only worth maybe $4K! While I am happy to see it go (we had our issues over the last 6 years, oh jetta), I wish it had been on MY time and not when i least expected it. Don't get me wrong, I like change, and i know change is good, but changing my "home" and my car both unexpectedly and not planned is not my preference. BUT I know i will be stronger after I get through it all. This truly is a test God is putting me through, and i need to embrace that and learn and grow through this. What a challenge!

And because every post should have a picture... I decided to post this one from Montana. Jen took me to the "cowboy store" where they had little baby chickens and ducks for sale. It made me want to have a yard/a farm so i could raise one!

Oregon and Montana

I finally took a week off work and headed home to Oregon (Easter and Mom's b-day) and then over to Bozeman to visit Jennifer and Nate. I was SO NICE to have a break from work (the longest vacation i have had at BSSP other than xmas break) and be with family. I am still sorting through and editing photos, but here are a few until i post more.
