The View From my Bedroom Window

As I stated in the last post,
March was pretty rough as far as forward motion.
April, thus far, has proven fruitful. :D
I have been in Cedar Falls two consecutive weekends.
Easter & my niece, Jennaveve's dedication.
I love going back to see all the old faces I love & miss.
It also shows me how much I've grown.
Which I forget ALOT of the time.

Onwards to those weekends.
I've spent a significant amount of time with family.
It was pretty wonderful.
I got to see my older sister Janey,
& my older brothers David & Micheal.
With that come the nieces & nephew.
Gentri (20 months), Xavier (6 or 7), & Jennaveve (8 months)
Niblits as a certain Hendrickson would say.
Speaking of Hendrickson's,
Who are family for all intensive purposes.
I got to spend some quality time with them.
& it was good for the soul.

Outside of weekends, Monticello is treating me well.
I've been getting my financial things taken care of.
Which makes me wonder why didn't I take care of it in the first place.
It was a lesson learned, and I'm fixing it.
Unfortunately, work cut hours again.
So I have to look either for a second job or another job.
Which makes me sad. I really LOVE my job.

My parents are amazing.
I'm so blessed to get a second chance with them.
(& 5th & 7th)
I really don't know how my parents are so patient.
I feel sometimes like they are trying to get a brick wall to move.
I love them with all my heart, & hope they don't kill me in the process.
Thus far, they have succeeded.
I'm trying though.
& I think it's getting better.
So thanks parents for not giving up.

Random side note:
I got a new tattoo.
















God's up to something.
Let's see where we end up. :D
With love.


btw, this is what I see every morning.
