A Young Woman learning to fly own her own

My blog is a journey of living and learning to spread my wings out on my own. It has been a crazy time in my life with the most rewarding and challenging adventures. My life is every changing book and the rest has yet to be written.
Who I am: A daughter of God. An aunt to a niece and two nephews. A sister to a Leukemia survivor and a daughter to a breast cancer survivor. A sister to 2 brothers, a blessing brother(leukemia survivor) because I'm adopted, 1 step-brother, 4 sisters, a sister-in-law, and a step-sister. I'm a college student who is trying to figure out everything in life as I go the way God wants me to go.

Almost done with this semester

I can't believe I'm almost done with this semester of school. One more day left and I hope to get all my homework in. It feels so unreal that I'll be starting another semester in January. This time I'll do more work in the week it is do. This will be an early New Years Resolution. Grades get posted on December 29th so I'll let you know if it was good or bad.
I'm thinking about going to school to get my real estate license on the side. It is something I have wanted to do for awhile now. I know the economy is a bummer right now, but it won't be a full time job. Just a job for fun and a source for a little extra income. I will have my Marketing degree in a few years so that should come in handy also in this field.
Macey,is doing very well. She will be a year old on the 10th of January. Time sure has flown by. It seems just like yesterday that I got her from the pet store. She can be a brat, but she is my brat.
I can't wait to go home for Christmas in a few days. I've only been out here a month and a few days,but miss everyone so much. When I get back I'm going to look for a job. I'm actually going to call Target today to check up on my application. I need to work because I'm bored and want a little extra spending money. See you all at Christmas if not when I come back in May for Kylan's 1st birthday.

Ready to fly



Guys, the reason for this first post isn't about my move. This first post is about I'm at the start of my new life and I'm ready to fly. I have big dreams and they were to big for that small town. I've had big dreams since I was a teenager. Let me enlighten you on what I mean. I wanted to live in California to be an inner city youth pastor. I don't see that small town have an inner city where I could have fulfilled that dream. As that town doesn't have the heart of NASCAR in it and which I want to work. I wouldn't be going to college and hoping to transfer to the University of North Carolina-Charlotte next fall. I wouldn't be majoring in Marketing and minoring in Public Relations if this wasn't my dream, I sure wouldn't be living 10hrs from everything that I've ever known or loved.
I'm almost done with a chapter I need to close. I've got one more thing to do when I get home and that is visit my bilogical dad's grave. I need to say my peace and my goodbye then that is it. This chapter will be closed and I'll be writing the next one.
As I'm waiting to go back to that town it doesn't mean I'm not ready. I've got dreams that I need to give a shot. A chance to travel the US and see things that I would never have seen staying in that small town. A chance to conquer my shyness and maybe find my soulmate. I'm hungry for a chance to live life on my own but that doesn't mean I don't want you involved. It just means I'm not comming back to live there. This is my new life and I want to share it, but I can't do that if people ask me if I'm homesick. In the end it makes me homesick even more. I just need the support and saying you can do it. I know you can do it.
I know I have responsiblities as a daughter,sister,niece,cousin,and now as an aunt.
Mom and dad, I know this is hard for you as it is for me. Don't think of it as goodbye but as a chance for me to live my dreams and spread my wings. It isn't that I don't need you as I once did,but I need a chance to fly. I'm your child, you taught me how to love and be self sufficiant. You taught me how to be kind and how to accept everyone. As in the song above says "I'm your kid. You taught me how to stand up and fight for myself." This is exactly what you have taught me and now it is time for me to fight for what I want. I'm going to take this world on and I'll win that prize in the end. The prize is everything I ever dreamed of. I'll make it and you know I can. Please be strong for me because it hurts me to see you hurting. I know your heart is broken as is mine but it will heal,I promise that. Daddy, I know you didn't want to see your daughter grow up but I have. You'll always be my daddy even if I do get married and have a father-in-law.
Everyone else I'm ready more then I've ever been. I know some don't like but you don't have to. Just pretened when you talk to me that you do. Like that song says "she gotta do,what she's gotta do" and I'm doing that. Things have begun to fall into place, my brother is healthy,my mom is too, and I got this chance of a lifetime. I finally can live my own life without worrying about life and death. Like I said I'm hungry to live this chapter and fulfill my goals. I know most of you don't realize I'm not that little kid anymore or the person I was three years ago. That time in my life made me grow up faster then I ever have. It made me the person who I am today. Some of you have realized that and I thank-you for that.
Guys things have fallen into place, I have big dreams to chase,I'm hungry for this,and I'm ready to make this dreams a reality. I'm ready to open my wings to fly so please let me.
I'm at the startin line so GET READY, GET SET,LET ME GO.
