June...really?

I can't believe it's June already!! This year is really flying by. We had a good Memorial Day weekend. My bestest Cassie's birthday was the 30th, so I hope she had a WONDERFUL day! Love her bunches. Hung out over Becky's house saturday night, went to Amanda and Ryan's last night. I've been hanging out with Becky a little more and more. Her and I used to be friends way back in middle school and we drifted ways. Her mom is the one who took my boxer Nemo for me. But we've been hanging out more, which is nice. Her whole family is more... "country bumpkin" I guess you would call it. I guess people tend to look down on them cause people assume they are "white trash" and they aren't. They are really good people. But when everyone comes over to the house there is like 8 kids running around lol. Family is really important to them, so they get together every weekend. Even though I haven't really been around these people in years, they just accept Mak and I as if we've been there all along. They have a good time, and don't have to spend a bunch of money to go out and do it. So it's nice.

Brian (Mak's father) came over Sunday and spent some time with her, so that was nice. She was so excited to see him. I'm glad he came over and played with her. They watched Ice Age together. It makes me happy to see MaKenzie happy, and I'd rather have a amicable relationship with Brian anyway, instead of always giving each other attitudes.

As for Rhyan, she's pretty ticked off at me that I won't give her the time of day anymore. She expects me to just forget everything that she's done to me and go back to being best friends with her. And I always have before. But maybe I'm growing up a little. I'm finally cutting her out of my life. And it feels good.

I still miss Aaron, and I know in my heart I still love him, but instead of keeping him up on a pedestal, I've been realizing his faults and how he's wronged me too, instead of making excuses for him. It still hurts, but looking at the whole picture is making moving on a lot easier. It's hard seeing him and his new girlfriend at work, but I just hold my head up and keep on smiling. I have far too many things in my life that are good and wonderful, as opposed to wishing for what might have been. We had a good relationship up until the end, so I'll remember the good times and smile, as opposed to being resentful and cry. We had a lot of great memories and I'll cherish them. Everything happens for a reason, and the lesson will show it's face in due time.

    I think that is a very wise statement, Tara.

    I can't believe it's June, either. My brother leaves for Afghanistan on Friday, so I'm pretty down today, but I am so, so glad you had a wonderful weekend - you deserve it!

  2. Oh, Abby, he's leaving again?? I wish him a safe and speedy return to his family. I know you miss him greatly. I saw a video today of soldiers coming home and surprising their kids, and for whatever reason it reminded me of your family and Ben coming home. Just the expressions and love you could see in the faces of the people.
