on a roll...

sadly i've slipped away from my daily updates already. however, i've been keeping up with everything else i've put on my list to do!!

this past tuesday was the best day i have had in a long time and just the lift i needed!

at the beginning of the week i had sent out messages to all my friends who i knew were home or close to home for winter break.

i was a little sad to only hear back from a few people but i thought to myself it takes two..so if i'm willing to put out the initial effort and you can't take the two seconds it takes to respond then you probably don't care that much about our friendship anyway.

(that sounds a little harsh but i'm sick of people carrying on about how great the internet and text messaging are and how they are quick and easy and keep people together...then when i text a friend and don't receive a response before at least the end of the day it makes you feel bad...it really takes two seconds to open your phone, read and give a simple response or at least acknowledgement...idk i'm just pointing it out.)

any who, i had set up plans to meet for breakfast with two friends i hadn't seen it what feels like forever.

it was wonderful!!

it was so good to see them and catch up and just talk about life...this actually made me feel a lot better about mine.

just to see that there are a lot of people in the same situation with the same types of questions as me.

as we were having breakfast i mentioned one of my other friends and look across the dinner and there she is!! how great!

after going over to chat for a bit i sit back down at the table and what do you know..i get a text form a friend saying she was in town and planning to go to the mall.

so i left breakfast and headed to go pick her up.

we spent the day running random errands together and catching up.

at one point we found ourselves in a craft store and i picked up some new fabric to print on...hopefully new materials is the kick i need to get back to art.

after i dropped her off back at her house i got a text from my sister saying she was taking her lunch break at work and i should join her for her meal since she leaves for her mission trip onfriday (she is going to help build homes in mississippi, how wonderful!!)

so i show up and just as i am explaining how exciting the day had been in walks my aunt, my cousin, and...kayle!!

and they were there for diner! what a wonderful turn of events!

so we all had a meal together.

after this i headed home to see my mom and dad for a little and then i was on my way back to my apartment still in shock about how good i felt from this day.

hopefully there are more wonderful, and uplifting get together with friends and family around the corner!

p.s i've also started a new site!... but it's not ready to be shown yet. updates soon :)
