Bring on the snow! It is raining today..YUCK..YUCK..YUCK So much for my straight hair. Tomorrow it is suppose to be sunny & 56. So trick or treating here we come! Well not me trick or treating but my friends' kidos! I will be along for the walk though. We were suppose to get snow last week. NONE...zilch...nadda. I am ready for the snow! I can't wait to use my new Sorels sledding or just walking around in deep snow. Winter in Montana is so beautiful. I know I will probably get sick of driving in the slush and being so cold but I am in anticipation of it as of now. Last weekend I went house hunting, deer hunting, went to a 10 year old's birthday party. No house....yet...I may put an offer on one. I am trying to get some finances in order for that to happen. No deer yet. I hope to get one this weekend. I also got an elk tag so I am excited to get my first deer & elk! So if you want some of the meat, let me know. 2 kills is a lot for one girl to eat!
Well today I thought it was suppose to rain & be yucky. Why do the weathermen say it is going to be yucky all day & then the sun is out all day? Do they just take a guess and hope they are right? I have always wondered about that. MT weather is so unpredictable why do they even try and guess. Anyhow...
Shane & I went to visit a cousin of mine that just got out of the hospital. He is doing great by the way. I haven't seen him in about 15 years....WOW....time flies. They have a beautiful home & it was great to catch up with him. Then Shane & I went shopping around Billings. There are so many fun places to shop at. We then went to dinner at Red Lobster...SO YUMMY!! So that was our fun Saturday. Tomorrow is another day of shopping at the mall. I hope we find some good sales. His son is turning 10 & I need to find something for him. Hope you are enjoying the fall weather. The leaves at Riverfront Park....amazing.

Well I thought by moving to Montana it would feel really different. Yes, things have changed but I feel good being back. I have caught some fish, I met an awesome guy and it is so great being around family & friends that love me. I am still on the search for a job. I know what you are thinking.....NO I am not dragging my feet so I can go camping & fishing for a week for Memorial Day....but that has crossed my mind. If I snag a job before then, GREAT! If not, GREAT! I know a good job will come along. I just keep applying everyday for jobs in the newspaper and jobs people tell me about. I am not worried. There are a ton of jobs here. I am trying to be selective so I find one I will enjoy. I wish I could find that job where I could fly fish everyday but I can go after I get off work! I'll try to keep you updated on my exciting life....and camping & fishing pictures are sure to come!
68 more days till camping!! WOO HOO!! I can't wait. I can't wait to get my line wet either...here fishy fishy. I am still in the middle of packing....full force packing. So looking forward to getting out of this humidity...which has started already. So looking foward to meeting my Mr. Wonderful. WOW...He is so awesome. He sends me pictures of him fishing with his son....so beautiful! I can't wait! No job yet but I have a couple of leads. I believe I am leaving Simba on a farm here in TN. She will love to be outside and traveling with a pet is insane. I may be homeless, jobless, and putting her in a kennel for a couple months is not an option. Also it will be easier for me to find a place to live if I don't have a pet. It will be hard to part with her but this will be a great home for her. She will love to run around & have a farm to explore. So she will be going there next weekend. I'll keep you updated on me. Montana..here I come! Oh and thank you to my wondeful friend who is giving my number away to anyone who calls her. THANKS! Remember, I do get revenge. TEE HEE TEE HEE!
Ok...ok
Yes my boyfriend will be making an appearance camping Memorial Day weekend. But I need to meet him first! He loves to camp, fish, hunt, spend time outdoors. Oh and he is looking forward to spending some quality time with Shawna & I with him. We have fallen for each other & I am so looking forward to having my friends meet him. We have a mutual friend and she gave me the go ahead. She says GO FOR IT! So I am and he hasn't disappointed me. He has a 9 year old son who is adorable! My Mom has even gave me the OK to date this guy :) She thinks he is a cutie! And so do I. Have I met my Mr. Wonderful everyone has been saying that I deserve? I sure hope so. He makes me so happy, so very happy. WOW!
Yesterday it was 74 degrees. Oh how I wanted to be on the golf course. Today it was in the 50s and we had a tornado watch. Oh how fun that is. My boss said I could leave early if the weather got bad. It rained pretty hard but that was pretty much it. I hope it is nice this weekend so I can at least get my clubs out of the shed.
OK you beggars........I got my first stack of boxes! So let the packing begin! Fun....fun.......
Here are my top 10 reasons why I should move:
10. How else am I going to get Trent to visit? Come & get me & bring Kelly too :)
9. KBAR pizza whenever I want. Oh how I miss the pizza & Mexican food there
8. Starting a new job is exciting. Oh wait....I have to get hired first.
7. To take care of the old people my brother keeps complaining about.....Ang....I need affirmation again why I am moving
6. The dating pool.....bye bye soldiers.....hello cowboys....here I come!
5. Been away long enough....time to return home
4. Sell old stuff to be able to buy new stuff
3. If you have ever been to Montana you don't have to wonder why I would move there. The scenery is breathtaking.
2. Fishing.....camping....batch.....need I say more?
1. To spend as much time with family & friends as I want....SO GET READY!!
A Piece of my Heart
By: Unknown
One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley. A large crowd gathered and they all admired his heart for it was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw in it. Yes, they all agreed it truly was the most beautiful heart they had ever seen. The young man was very proud and boasted more loudly about his beautiful heart.Suddenly, an old man appeared at the front of the crowd and said "Why, your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine." The crowd and the young man looked at the old man's heart. It was beating strongly, but it was full of scars. It had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in, but they didn't fit quite right and there were several jagged edges. In fact, in some places there were deep gouges where whole pieces were missing.The people stared -- how can he say his heart is more beautiful, they thought? The young man looked at the old man's heart and saw its state and laughed. "You must be joking," he said. "Compare your heart with mine. Mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars and tears.""Yes," said the old man, "yours is perfect looking but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love - I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a piece of their heart which fits into the empty place in my heart, but because the pieces aren't exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we shared.""Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn't returned a piece of his heart to me. These are the empty gouges -- giving love, is taking a chance. Although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for these people too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I have waiting. So now do you see what true beauty is?"The young man stood silently with tears running down his cheeks. He walked up to the old man, reached into his perfect young and beautiful heart and ripped a piece out. He offered it to the old man with trembling hands. The old man took his offering, placed it in his heart and then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man's heart. It fit, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges. The young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man's heart flowed into his.

Hi, It's Melody here, Great News Lance is going to be a father, Isn't that exciting !!--
Melody-
Since you asked my opinion, I will give it to you. I could care less about what is happening in Lance's life. WE ARE DIVORCED. We both have moved on. DEAL WITH IT. Maybe then you can move on too. I don't know you but you must know Lance & Jennifer. Focus your energies on them. Not me. I haven't asked for an update from you so please quit sending them to me. This blog is for my friends and family and you obviously aren't my friend. You have never said anything here to build me up and I don't care about what you have to say. I hope Lance is happy and if fatherhood is what he longs for, than good for him. He is getting what he wants. Children are a gift from God. But I do not care to keep up with his life.
What an incredible year! I just want to thank you all for the wonderful Christmas cards, encouraging cards, emails, phone calls, hugs, gifts you have sent. God has blessed me with so many great family and friends. I couldn't have made it through this difficult year without you. Thank you so much for loving me through great times but especially through the difficult times. I could never imagined how a divorce could effect my life nor the life of those around me until I went through it. I appreicate you all and hope you know how much I feel loved.
Some of you are reading this because of the divorce. Maybe we have never met but somehow my life and your life got intertwined. WOW! Isn't that amazing? I have new friends because of my divorce. How awesome is that? I feel my relationships are so much stronger because of the struggles I have been through. I love that. I didn't enjoy going through a divorce but it has made me reflect on my life, on my relationships and now I am a much better person and will find much more joy in life. I can tell I am cherishing every single day more and more. I enjoyed being in Montana for Christmas and New Year's and loved being with family and friends. We had a great time even though the weather waited to snow until after Christmas. The sledding was incredible!
Thanks again for being such awesome friends and family. If I could pick my friends and family, I would pick you!! I love you all. I hope I get to see you all this year. Please come visit Simba & I. We would love to have you.
