And He scattered the earth with little pieces of ourselves, hoping we'd be reunited....
I cannot say it enough, so I’m going to say it again. I am in a good place. Such a good place, I feel so balanced, but I’m definitely back to my crazy, spontaneous, up for anything, nature-loving, music obsessed, chatty-cathy self. It’s been so long since I’ve felt this good. I’m really putting myself out there lately and I have gotten so much back in return. I’ve made new friends, built stronger ones that I already had. I get so much more out of my friends than what they get from me. I’ve never known someone like Jessica; I love this girl to pieces. I can tell her anything without being judged at all and she can give me an honest answer without me being defensive. She pushing back on so EVERYTHING, but only because she wants to be right, I’ve called her out on that shit though, and she’s said I know it’s something I need to work on. We entered a Salsa contest at work together, she definitely made it but I did taste test it , and promoted the crap out of it to get the site’s votes. What happens? WE WON!! That’s fun! I truly truly love this girl, she is wise beyond her years, and she has such a good heart. I want her to find a guy that loves every single detail of this girl because there is so much to love. I recently became friends with a newbie on my team Virginia. I swear this girl is like my twin! We like the same EVERYTHING. We’re all over the place in our musical palette, our taste in movies. She even made hemp and seed bead jewelry back in the day. I don’t know her THAT well, but I would consider her to be a future GOOD friend. She has such a good heart to. I’m just surrounding myself with positive, good people who bring out the best in me as well as I hope vice versa. (Ashley) Chapa, is a new one too, I’ve known her for a while but have gotten a little closer with her and have tried to get her to hang out outside of work more often. The team that I work with is so great too, we work so well with each, I can’t imagine being with another team in my department. My BOSS…ohh my Boss…he is so fantastic. Such a great person, he’s so different from any other manager I have ever had. He believes in his team, and he believes in me, which is great. Whenever there is any creative project that needs to be done in the center, I am always the first he comes to. I love it. He has been through my hardest days at work, when I had my relapse last year, I had taken on a gigantic organization task (FYI I’m not an organizer) and I really shouldn’t have accepted it but I wanted to put my name out there. I was a mess I wasn’t on medication, the task completely overwhelmed me and stress me out and I literally had a nervous breakdown every time I went to work. Klab, did his best to try to help me, even going for a walk with me around the building on one of the HOTTEST days of the summer, to try to clear my head. It didn’t help, because let’s face it at that point I was ready to crash, and I crashed hard, and it took so long to get me back on track. I made it through that little rough patch. My boss and I have gotten closer over the past couple months. He’s young 26yr old, got married when he was 23, I want to say had been with the girl off and on since 6th grade. He shared with me that he’s going through a divorce, and my heart sank for him, he’s such a good person, not the kind that I would imagine would give up on a marriage at all. Of course, I’m only hearing one side of the story, infidelity on her part, out all night, etc…didn’t sound good. Since he told me this, we’ve become friends. He has a friend, B, who’s he’s been hanging out with and she’s s totally cool chick very down to earth, seems to really care about him. I told him he just needs to be careful, he just got out of a long term relationship has never really been single and this should be his time to figure out what he’s going to do from this point on and what he wants in his life. I really want the VERY best for this guy because he truly deserves it. Every Michael I’ve ever known has the same personality. Stand up guys, who give so much to their family and friends, only to get walked over sometimes. The one’s I’ve known before Klab have ended up with happy endings, so I’m optimistic his story will end the same. We (my husband and I) hung out with Klab and B this weekend and it was SOOO much fun! With Steve, I prefer going on couple’s dates when we go out with his single friends I dunno it’s just not the same. Anyways, it was so much fun, it’s so funny because the two of them are like the same exact person. I kept telling Mike you’re going to love him, he knows EVERYTHING about sports, all sports, and he’s a bbqer etc…they have so much in common. They both were making jokes (up until our double date) that they were nervous, too high of expectations. They were afraid that they wouldn’t like each other, but that clearly wasn’t the case. Jess calls Mike my work husband, which is pretty accurate, and then Steve is my real husband. Well, I got a pic of my work husband and real husband together and it’s pretty AWESOME. I love those boys!!!!!! Life is good! I hope my journey to making a connection with everyone I meet, never stops. OHH, and I met one of the fire station guys and I shall be making cookies, muffins, quick bread for the best looking group of 20 firemen in San Antonio!! I shall let you know if we find Jessica a husband. I bit you all adieu, hope you have a beautiful day, pay it forward, make someone laugh, but most of all be kind to yourself!
