Nice People

Okay friends, (or strangers, or whoever reads this besides me) let's be real here. I have a job that I am not too fond of.

I mean, come on, does this really look that great?!


Today I felt like I was the only one who could solve a problem, dealt with crazies, and struggled through party after party. 


BUT!

A few days ago I talked with a nice lady who came in and booked a party for her daughter. The party was today. I ended up being scheduled to host their party. 

And they were simply the cutest. The Birthday Girl was 8 and darling! And they were just so nice! Completely turned my day around with their compliments and kind words. The Birthday Girl wanted me in pictures and while I was reluctant, I kind of wish that I had a copy of the pictures taken today. It reminded me that there are good, nice, happy people in the world. Which is really just great! I had to talk to them one more time after their party had finished before I left (break time)...the Dad shook my hand, the Mom gushed about how great things had gone, and two of the girls from the party (birthday girl and her friend) each gave me huge hugs! Shooosh yeah! It was awesome to feel like I was appreciated for the work I do, and just to hear their nice words. Uplifting, and awesome!

The day ended up being crazy, frustrating, and honestly a tad bit weird. But that great family from earlier made things so much better. 

Yay for nice people and yay for summer being almost over!

What Are You Scared of Today?

FACT: The smartest people that I know are the people who read. FACT: I am nowhere near being 'the smartest person' anyone knows. FACT: I am a work in progress. FACT: I can become so much more than I currently am. FACT: I am on a quest to read as much as I can for a whole year. FACT: This is exponentially harder than it sounds. _________________________________________________________________________________ I was scrolling through Facebook last week and I came across an article that caught my attention. Being on a "quest to read more" I clicked on the article and started to read a column written by a young lady regarding mental health, her experience, and what she longs to say to those 'dear friends' around her who are also struggling. It was a great read and I am glad that I took the time to read it, however there is one question that has stuck in the back of my mind: "What are you scared of today?" As I have continu...

16 Things I Learned In 2016

Here it is. I cant believe that it is already New Year's Eve. This year has gone so fast and so slow. It has been happy and hard and different than I ever imagined it would be. This time last year, I was at my parent's house in Texas. So much has changed since I rung in the new year with little brothers and 60 degree weather, and as I have spent the day with just two cute puppies and my thoughts I have been overwhelmed with all that the last year has given me. So here it is, in no particular order...16 things that I learned in 2016. 16. Travel Often. Across the ocean or just a few hours away, take the time to see new places. It is ALWAYS worth it. 15. It's okay to say no. Sometimes, you can only give how much your heart will allow. You must take care of yourself before you can take care of others. I learned this through my job, but it is a lesson that I have needed to apply to my entire life for a very long time. ...

Why I Drove to Washington By Myself

Okay first things first....I went to WA to see my friend Liz. Look how cute she is! She got a grown up job and moved to the *cutest* little town in WA and I miss her, so I took a few days for myself and went on a trip to see her. Secondly, I want it to be known that I DID invite a friend to come with me. I have a good friend who I would have loved to have join me on the trip, but when he couldn't come I was sad but didn't bat an eye. Here are the reasons that I invited him: He is excellent company. He has a great taste in music. He is friends with Liz as well. I thought it would be fun if he came. The end that is all. I didn't invite him to make the trip cheaper, to help drive, or to make me feel safer. It would have been fun if he could have come, but either way I was going to go. I drove to Washington by myself because I could. Because I am saying YES. Because I am done waiting for "someday".  Someday when I have more money, or...
