A Little More About Me

So, today I'm gonna tell ya a little more about me and then I think I will start talk about more than just myself. But, no guarantees. Lol

Let's see, I said I was going to tell you a little bit about my friends. There's my best friend, Jazmin. We are so close we call each other sisters. We have never physically met in person though. Her boyfriend is a good friend of mine from high school and she commented on something I wrote on his Facebook. After that we just hit it off. We started talking on Facebook all the time and then exchanged numbers and now she can't get rid of me. :) Lol She truly is a great person. She's there for me whenever I need her, no matter the time. Last year while my husband was deployed I could call her up day or night and she would listen to me blubber on the phone and tell me everything was going to be ok. It meant so much to me because my husband and I live in New Mexcio (which IS in the United States. You'd be surprised at just how many people don't know that New Mexico is part of the US. It's really rather annoying being told all the time that I don't live in the US so they can't help me. And believe me, this has happened more than once.) and we live out here by ourselves. All his family lives up in WA and most of my family lives in CA ( I am proud to say I was born and raised there. I love it there, but for reasons that I will probably never say on here because there is the possibility some people will read this and use it against me, I will most likely never go back there. Not only for my personal reasons, but also because it's so FREAKIN' expensive there! Lol) I also have some family that lives in WA and that is the family I was talking about yesterday, my Mama Sissy, Nonny, Gaga, TT, and my 2 wee cousins, Skylar and Aiden. But my husband and I are in NM with no family and not many friends. Now, we don't have friends because we find most (not all, but most) of the people we have tried to be friends with turn into giant jerks (to put it nicely). And my husband and I would rather be alone than waste time on people that we don't really like. (Thank goodness my husband and I like each other! LOL) 

So, while my husband was gone I didn't really have anyone to turn to here in town. Which most of me was ok with because I needed to know I could get by on my own without relying on anyone, but sometimes it was nice to just hear "Everything will be ok, Katie" and that was all I needed to pick myself back up and get through the day. My Mama Sissy was amazing about being there for me whenever I needed her as well. 

Jazmin and I talk just about every day. Either through, IM, test, phone calls or Skype (when her computer works. Lol But that problem should be taken care of since we sent her our laptop that we were no longer using.) But either way we always find a way to talk. Sometimes, we go a couple days without talking because one or both of us gets busy, but it's never been longer than a week. She is a kind, generous person who occasionally has a temper (but really, don't we all?) and when I get mad about something she is right there with me getting mad at that something with me. Lol 

Another friend of mine is Hali. She and I have known each other since 9th grade soooo that's... 9 years now??? I think that's right. It's Monday, my brain is a little fried. It's been a while, I'll just say that. Lol She's so sweet and caring. She was there for me a lot last year too which meant a LOT to me because she and I grew out of touch for a while. She even asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding in October! Yay for weddings!! :) Still don't know if I can for sure make it which breaks my heart at the possibility of not being able to make it due to finances. I really hope I can, but if things don't change around for us soon, I won't be able to. :( Most likely my husband wouldn't be able to make it though  whether things change or not. If things don't change then we won't be able to afford him to come with me and if things do change (which we really really hope they do) then he will be in training and so therefore wouldn't be able to make it due to that. She and I have grown pretty close since we got back in touch and we try and touch bases at least a once a week. 

Then there is Sadie and Holly. I don't talk to them quite as often as Hali and Jazmin, but they are still really good friends of mine. I have known Sadie since 8th grade and Holly since 9th grade. We are the type of friends where we don't talk very often, but when we do talk it's like no time has gone by. Sadie is married and has a cute little puppy. And Holly is with a great guy that we went to school with named Patric. Holly has a beautiful daughter named Lily. Holly, Lily and Patric are planning on coming down the end of July beginning of August. I'm SO excited about that because it has been SO long since I have seen any of my friends since they are all in CA. I really hope they can make it still as time gets closer because I really miss them. 

I truly have some pretty amazing friends. I am so blessed and so thankful to have them part of my life. I know that if I seriously needed anyone of these girls they would be there for me in a heart beat. These girls have helped me be a better person all in their own ways and I don't think they even realize it. 

I think that is just about it for now. I think you know all the important stuff about me now. Lol From now on it should just be new stuff and me talkin' bout my crafting. Hopefully you guys weren't too bored. And you come back to read more later.
