No one more deserving

Absolutely so happy about how last night went.

We threw my mom a surprise birthday party and she was completely shocked, she had no idea. Everyone who she loved and who loved her was there and it was so nice to see such a giant smile on her face.

She spends at least an hour everyday helping other people, she doesnt do it because its right or because she feels obligated but she does it because she loves helping people. What an amazing trait to have to be able to help everyone and never need anything in return.

I’m so happy that she finally got a night devoted to her, it was so deserved. And as we speak shes packing for a girls weekend with her friends and family and its all just so deserved. Shes deserved this for the longest time, all of it.

She not only recieved a surprise party last night, but tomorrow she will go away to mohegan sun with her favorite people, today her boss gave her a well deserved bonus, and one of her friends is surprising her by showing up tomorrow on her trip.

The moment I saw her face when she realized she was being surprised was a moment of pure bliss for me. She hasn’t had a smile that big on her face in years, and I’ll never forget.

I really hope she has the most amazing time this weekend, I love you Momma.

Joyous

Im having one of those days when everything starts to make sense again, when everything feels a little more clear.

I dont want to keep rushing through life, waiting for the next step, I need to embrace this step im in right this very second and thats exactly what I’m doing.

Going on facebook and looking at all the people from high school who are graduating college now and thinking how that could be me, thats not going to help me or make me better. Ive finally realized everyone takes their own road, and though mine may have been longer and different from the rest doesnt mean that its wrong. 

Every choice I’ve made along the way has led me to this incredible place I’m in right now.

If I hadnt taken a year off of school, I wouldve kept going at my same unhappy bad grade pace. But because of the time I spent away I’ve realized how much I love learning and how important it is to me to be in school and suceeding and thanks to that “mistake” I have the best grades at school that I’ve ever had and I’m so proud of myself.

And school isnt the only thing that seems to be going right. I’ve re-acquainted myself with old friends and have been having more fun lately then ive had in probably two years.

And my boyfriend and I have never been stronger.Talking constantly about moving in and getting engaged. Along with his amazing family, whom I’m absolutely in love with, and their newest pet addition Fluffy the bunny :) 

And my parents continue to support me along every step of the way, making me feel like I can accomplish anything.

And my best friend Tiffany who always keeps me grounded and who’s mind I’m pretty sure is a perfect copy of mine.

And my sister of course who always knows how to brighten my day and make me laugh at something crazy during our adventures.

AND THE SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE. (And I have a new job for it!)

And although everything is subject to change and nothing is perfect, for once I finally just feel like I can coast and relax because everything is going just how it should be.
