Lately, I've been an awesome mom with Kaitlin's lunches.
We've been embracing a bit of the bento box theme.
I normally just make a fun sandwich. :D
She's had a heart, a rocketship, a STL Blues logo, mickey mouse.
This week she has started making her own lunch. :(
I'm hoping to make her something fun tomorrow!
AND I'm hoping to continue making our way towards healthier eating as the weeks/summer goes by.

People
There are so many wonderful people I've had the chance to meet, grow with, and become friends with in my life.
I'm truly amazed by the closeness I have with some of these people. And I thank God for the friendships I have with them.
It is crazy how you can go long periods of time not talking to someone, then send them a message out of the blue one day and pick up where you left off. And the more surprising part is when that friendship grows so much deeper and you learn so much more.
It is also amazing when you meet someone new and form a close friendship in a short amount of time. Out of all the people in the world, when you meet someone you instantly like and have a blast with and can have deep conversations with, it is nothing short of spectacular.

Day by day
Slowly making progress on everything.
I'm learning a lot about myself.
I'm really feeling a push to move out of the area.
So I'm using the next year to save $, get stuff together, and then will re-evaluate this time next year.
But I really feel like I need to move west of where I'm at.
Texas and California are the top runners as of today....but that can always change. :D

Blessed
God has blessed me with the most wonderful little girl. And I'm truely amazed at her caring nature and the excited to see the woman she will become one day.
I love all the little reminders about how lucky I am.
This morning, while I was switching purses, I came across some change. Seeing my change, reminded Kaitlin that today was chapel at her school. When I went to start giving her some of the money I had on hand, she told me no. She had plenty of money of her own.
She then ran to her room and came back with some of her money. She had $3 and some pennies. She said she wanted 1st grade to get a 100% or something of that nature.
I'm blessed to have a little girl that knows I stress about money and who would rather give her money at church, then hold onto it and use it for candy or toys.
I think we can all use a lesson like this.
I thank God everyday for my little girl. I hope he continues to bless and guide me to continue to make sure she continues to grow in his way and to let her light of faith burn brighter every day.

Climbing
Me and my friend went indoor rock climbing this weekend.
IT WAS AWESOME!
We had a blast and plan on using this sport/activity as OUR stress relief. (Hey, massage therapists get stressed too. I just have a difficult time relaxing and enjoying myself during massages myself. Too busy trying to figure out new techniques)
We took the Rock 101 class at Upper Limits. It was very informative and we had a good time. (even if we were the only 2 girls in a class of 8. We are really good about laughing at ourselves)
We still have trust issues to work with, but I did get about 2/3's of the way up, so that is good. :D
Everything else just kind of is at the moment. I have good days and bad days.
I am in the process of moving all of my junk into my new apt. I love it so far.
Things are on the up and up!
