I finally got a tattoo! Jamie, Suzanne, Mayra and me had a great time downtown, and finished off the evening with me getting a tattoo. I am really happy with it, and it didn't hurt too bad to get. I finally found a tattoo that has meaning for me and I feel will not change with time.

Time with family!!!

Kelli and the kids came up on Thursday and we got to spend a few days together. It was so good to see them, but went by way too quickly. Caitin was on her way to Impulse camp at ACU. She is almost as tall as me now, which is crazy and I can remember her toddling around and callling me Sassy. We went to lunch with Robert so the kids could see him and it went really. Trace had asked Kelli before we got there if he needed to be cautious. He is so concerned with how everyone feels. Not awkward at all. He's doing something different with his hair and when the kids were getting into a picture with him, Caroline said "come on you with your freaky hair". I thought we all were going to die laughing. We stayed at the Westin on Friday night and went to Fort Worth on Saturday to see Troy and Lindsey. I hadn't seen their little girl Ella and she is two now. So it was good to see them. I drove so that was the first time since I hurt my foot. It was incredibly freeing.

So on Sunday, July 8, I was standing on the bed hanging pictures in my bedroom. I had a frame laying on the bed and I stepped back into the frame. My foot went through the glass and the back of the frame. It all happened so fast, I pulled a piece of glass out of the bottom of my foot, but I had slit a huge gash in the top of my foot. Luckily I had a bunch of packing paper on the floor so I wrapped my foot in the packing paper and scooted on my butt to the kitchen so I could call my neighbors. They were home and came running over, before I passed out. Betty took me to the emergency room where I got 8 stitches. I cut a tendon to my 4th toe and the cut went to the bone. It's seems to be healing very well, but it has been a complete pain to have to depend so much on other people and not be able to get around well. I am looking forward to getting the stiches out on Thursday so that I can go back to working out. Hopefully the tendon will heal and that toe won't curl under too much. Definitely going to have a scar, but it's a good story anyway.

My birthday was great!!! Although I spent the day at school, I celebrated with my friends on Friday night. We went to Glass Cactus and had a really good time. Got hit on by a British soccer team, mostly 25 year olds. So I guess I still got it. I danced and just enjoyed my friends. I did not go over the edge though. It hurts too bad when I go over that edge. Almost everyone I know called me for my birthday. I think they are all worried about me. But it felt really nice.

I had a great time on my trip to Nasaau Bay. It was great to get away and not have to think about life for a while. The week before we left was a tough one for me. I went through an emotional rollercoaster, but for good reason. It seems in my life when I am on that emotional rollercoaster, I am in a place that I am not supposed to be. Otherwise I wouldn't have that extreme pit in my stomach. I was putting aside my beliefs for what I thought felt good at the time. No one makes me do this, I just choose it and God always reminds me by tugging at my spirit that I am not supposed to be there. He's been doing that for quite some time, but again I am stubborn and think I know best. I am posting some pictures of the trip to remind me how great it is to have great friends that you can enjoy life with.

What a Difference a Day Can Make!

Class today was so much better. The teacher told us that it is up to us what we read, since we aren't being tested on it. That took such a load off, especially since the parts I did read are so common sense to me. I also realized that one of the papers we have to write is very similar to one that I wrote for my class last semester and I can use most of it.
My second class was GREAT!! It is my Group Counseling class and we are doing alot of stuff that I am going to be able to use in my POINT class at school. This is the stuff I love. It's nice to end the day with a class that I enjoy. I always enjoy the experiential classes so much more. So schoolwise, I feel much better, but I still have this pit in my stomach. I just keep feeling like something is missing and I know what that is, but I haven't really done much to change that. This always happens when I get too busy and am stubborn about doing what I want instead of what is best for me. I know that I keep looking to others for approval, to make me feel okay about myself. I know I'm looking in the wrong place, but It always comes back to this and I know the answer, but I am sooooo stubborn. I have to make time for God and be still long enough to listen.
