eventful holiday 2012 break

The holiday break has been eventful. Hosted that mini party on saturday and it went nicely. Passed out early, but my friends appeared to have a good time! Saw my papa on Friday and Saturday again and he asked me to pick up a plant he bought me as a gift! What a wonderful thing that was! As a growing adult,my father held a job as a gardner...Strange, that I love to garden. Get it from my dad? My other girlfriend gave me another plant on saturday on the day of the get-to-gether... Here they are. Great day and moment yesterday to lounge in the hammock and enjoy them, while I read off of Rob's kindle. This was around 6pm, cool, with the tropical holidays that we usually experience every year in Texas.

I also celebrated 5 years of dating my husband, which according to my husband doesn't count as much as the wedding anniversaries, which I can agree on; regardless, I think that remembering dates is always nice..reliving memories especially.. We spend a quiet sunday on the island, had lunch, and did a tiny bit of xmas shopping. Althought the stores were ridiculously packed, we managed to get in and out...I hada a dillard's gift card, which I was burning to make a hole in..even then, I used it to get gifts for others...Giving even without receiving is always a wonderful experience! No matter what! Today on the 24th we went morning fishing near the ship channel and I schooled my husband and caught the keeping trout! We opted to release her because we didn't want to waste some precious meat, if we were opt to pig out tonight on Xmas dinner with my family. Here she is...

The view was wonderful out there..It was relaxing and peaceful. We left our home around 630 and were out in the water by 720...Great work out from paddling the kayay and I am feeling the burn already. Hoping the holidays continue to be wonderful and joyful as now...the spirits continue to remain high...

rocks & fires.

So what is your story? Is your story a horror, comedy, tragedy, or romance? For the most part, most people experience a multi-dimensional story line. Sometimes you travel back and forth between the spectrums and it can become pretty exhausting. Living with anxiety is exactly the case as well. Reading my blogs, you can account and note the ups and down that come of it. Overcoming it w/o the aid of medication is even more difficult, yet rewarding in some way. Trying to find the stepping stones that will get you through that drowning river is even more interesting and at times horrifying. There are moments when you feel so vulnerable, hurt, angry, and scared that at times you forget to realize the beauty in the small things that you do have in your life. My husband for one; his heart and mind are so different from mine. Yet so wonderful in so many ways I can't even begin to imagine. An eccentric fellow with a love for playing his brass instrument an for biology. What a ham! To be able to love through the differences in character and wit truly takes courage. You chose to accept and embrace the differences in yourself and in your partner. Mostly, he is such a rock for me. Puts up with my shit... Learns to separate himself when he needs to... when I am out of my mind... A romance has definetly been unraveling for the last series of years. Our 4 year marriage anniversary is actually coming up. So cheers to the rocks in our lives. There are definetly the ones that hold us through and start the fires in our souls that keep us burning with love.
