My second trip tp FLORIDA!

I missed Z-Rock so bad while I was gone, but I had a blast while I was in Florida! The top picture is my roommate from college and her fiance' Ross, I was there for their engagement party! The bottom picture is me and Tonya, we made the drive together. 16 hours in a car, you better like the person you are riding with. Good thing she is one of MY BEST friends in the world. Actually Mandy, and Tonya and I were all together in college and then once we graduated we promised that we would never let our friendship slip away and that's why I went to Florida for an engagement party!

9 months.... that's how long it will be until I get to see her again, that's the when the wedding is. June 20th! I'm flying down a week a head of time, to just relax with her before her wedding.

Now you know that I (Tia) couldn't go on a trip and everything just go smooth. I will do another blog entry about all the mishaps that took place while I was there. The good parts definitely outweighed the bad parts so I had to tell you the good stories first... To be continued!!

Children...AHHHHH!

Children...what a concept? They seem to love me, and I them but...there's always a but with me isn't there. I was reading a story that my friend wrote about how she can't have children. I cried. She knew at 15 years old that she could never be a mommy. Now I'm not a mother and don't know that I ever will be, but the thought is nice, that I have the option you know. And why is it that people who want children and would be good parents can't have kids yet there's millions of woman who daily abort children. It baffles me. Not that I'm questioning God All Mighty, it just makes me cock my head sideways, twist my mouth, and shrug my shoulders.

I can tell you that kids make me smile, especially babies, cause they aren't brats yet, and they just want you to hold them. And I love other people's kids too cause I can send them home. But my own. Hmmm, I just don't know how to picture it, would I be a good mom. My mom is amazing, I suppose that if I took after her! And marriage, oh gosh, that would have to come before the children, but I'm getting off track now. So back to square one, do you have kids, do you love your kids, would you take it back if you could?

Who knows, maybe I'll have a house full when the time is right, but for now, I will just babysit everyone else's children, Hey mom's and dad's have to have a break every now and then.
