If You Were An Animal, What Would You Be And Why?
This is a really tough one. I like a variety of animals, and most animals are amazing and have their own special qualities. I guess, the decision comes down to, would I like to be in a wet environment (lakes or oceans), a dry environment (desert), or a snowy, swampy, and sometimes warm environment (Canada). Do I want to be able to fly, swim, or just have 4 legs and be furry? A decision like this has so many possibilities and so many things to take into consideration.
I think I would like to be something with spots or stripes, like a tiger or a leopard. They are beautiful animals, not to mention fast. Plus they're of the cat species, and we all know that I love my kitten! They truly are beautiful creatures, their spots/stripes, colours, whiskers, and the way they are.

Even The Stars Fall For You
This past week and weekend were very interesting and amazing, to say the least!
Wednesday started with a dentist appointment to have some impressions taken of my teeth to be fitted for a new night guard. (Expensive too, to say the least) Anyways, my new dentist (the old one has moved out of province) had asked if I have ever thought of having my tongue-tie, snipped, to say the least. It had been thought of, but I was told on various occasions that it may cause issues with my speech, and I may have to learn how to talk all over again, which I wasn't going through at 14 years old. Needless to say, I had the procedure done, 10 needles of freezing later, as I metabolized the first two (this is all they give normal people), within 15 minutes, so I froze and unfroze fast! Lots of needles to keep my mouth frozen for the duration of the procedure, in which some sort of laser tool was used to cut and cauterize my tongue and the tissue under it, that leads up to my gums. When the freezing came out, it wasn't good. It hurts, it was gross, and I was drooling everywhere because when you have a mouth injury or surgery, your mouth creates extra saliva to help heal your mouth. (I still drool and spit everywhere due to excess saliva and we're 5 days past surgery) The reason for having this procedure done is that the tongue tie was pulling on the gums behind my front teeth, exposing more tooth than they should. I did talk with a lisp for the few days as my tongue was so swollen...Very entertaining for my friends!!
Friday we had a concert to go to with my Aunt and Uncle! It was amazing, Brett Eltredge was fantastic, Little Big Town sounded amazing live, and of course KEITH URBAN was just a drool worthy hunk of a concert. The whole thing was almost 5 hours long, the longest concert I have ever been to. I got lots of photos, and sang every song, and when my Uncle asked me how old Keith Urban was, I even knew that!! I have a bit of an obsession, some would say. I call it a "Good Taste In Music".
Here is "Stupid Boy - Keith Urban"
Saturday was my actual Birthday! 24 years old. I love that when you're in your 20's, everyone feels the need to ask you if you feel old! My response to this question, (assuming said person is older than me, or is my parent) "I don't know, does it make you feel old that your daughter is 24??" Most responses are "Um, ya...........I guess it does" Don't ask me and I won't ask you :) I was blessed with about 75 Birthday texts, phone calls, and posts on Facebook. There are some amazing people out there, and I would like to THANK every single person who wished me a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! It really was great. My Uncle BBQ'd a yummy roast for dinner, with steamed veggies and a delicious sauce, and to follow a yummy cake, in which Wade was in on! It was fantastic, I really enjoyed our weekend away from home, despite how much my mouth hurt!
Yesterday, we came home and went Laser Tagging with some friends and my little cousin! That was great too, if there hadn't been a grown man in there shooting people in the eyes with the laser! What a dink! I was so mad, 5-6 times it happened to me, and it also happened to my friends! How can you be so ignorant and rude at something that is supposed to be fun! We then went out for a late lunch/early dinner with two friends, and headed home to see our pups! Oh how I missed the pups little faces :)

Say Something...
I've been seeing so many "inspirational" quotes going around on Facebook, and in light of my friends blog post the other day, it is time to say good-bye to a few people, to rid my life of the negativity, and annoyance.
There is a big difference in "distancing" yourself with a friend, or shall I say "phasing" them out of your life and down right cutting them out of your life. I have been through a fair amount in my short lifetime. I've had childhood friends who've stabbed me in the back, to turn around and apologize to me so that I accept them back into my life, which I generally did, for them to turn around and cut me out of their lives, or phase me out. This is my farewell to the past, to the negativity, annoyance, and to the past difficulties and life experiences I've had.
Through everything I've been through, I've learned who my real "friends" are, and those who aren't, I have gotten rid of (as a manner of speaking), they're out of my life.
The "inspirational" quote, should it be called that, read: "You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one." In my life, I have found this extremely fitting to SO many struggles, friendships, relationships, and life experiences that I have encountered. Everything can change in an instant, including all of the previously stated.
I am one of those people who can easily erase memories. It's sad, not so much that I can erase 6 years of my life, and forget those people who were in it, but I erase the good with the bad. The only thing I take out of those years is my strength, both emotionally and physically, despite what went on in those times. For those of you who don't know me, or know what I have gone through, you won't understand. I'm the person who will get rid of everything one individual gave me, train myself to forget the good, the bad, the great, and the terrible. I would say that the way I do this, the way I erase things or "forget" things, is my way of coping with what happened, but it's not. It's my way of saying good-bye, of saying that chapter is closed, that I never want to open and re-read that chapter again. For me, it's like writing a letter to each individual and burning it, it's my closure. It's my way, it's what makes me comfortable and happy with what is going on in my current life. I can't dwell on the past, I can't dwell on my fallen friendships, relationships, life experiences, or struggles. I would like to say that I forgive and forget, but I don't forgive, I move on, I forget and erase. Delete, if you will.
I've been told that I am the strongest person that people have met, that I take each thing with a grain of sand, and handle it or take care of it. But people don't know what I do with what hurts me, makes me sad, devastates me, or upsets me. I have a different train of thought than most people, I don't give up on anything, unless I absolutely must, I don't express my feelings to people unless things get so built up that I just can't stand it, in which I have a melt down about. I can hold things in for months, I can act like my life is "normal" or "perfect". It takes a lot to wear me down and break me open.
Just know, that whatever I do, however I react, I don't give up, I let go and erase if it's something I don't want in my life, or I push forward to where I want to be and how I want to be. I will accomplish the things I set my mind to, I don't give up that easily. Life has thrown me so many curve balls, that most people wouldn't know what to do with. When you take them at stride, and close each chapter in life as it needs to be closed, you get where you want to be and where you need to me.

Anywhere With You
2014 is shaping up to be a fairly good year and it's only just begun! I've enrolled in a Bridal Consultant program online, and have launched my website and Facebook page. I'm gaining a few clients, and some companies who want to work with me for flowers and such for weddings that I may have. It's shaping up to be great!
I currently have two weddings to help plan, and 3 day of coordinations, this isn't including the two day of coordinations that come with the weddings. I'm hoping that this turns out to be the best decision I've made yet. It's something I can do under almost any circumstance as well, and I truly believe it will be great for my health.
Wade and I have started our workout regime, and are hoping to tone up and lose a bit of weight, gain a bit of muscle. January is going to be a great month over all because it's my birthday, we have a Keith Urban concert, we're spending the weekend with my Aunt and Uncle. I truly cannot wait to see what this year has to bring to Wade and I.
Back to Wedding Planning, I can't wait for it to take off, and for me to be able to potentially start my own little business, and maybe branch out a little! Not going to lie, that would be like a dream come true. I really cannot wait to see what else 2014 has to bring us!
