I'm Home!

We came home from our trip this morning. We were due back yesterday but once the family left me and Alex decided to stay another day and have some alone time. The trip itself was F-U-N!!!!!!

We hiked, ate lots of food, made fires, ate S'Mores, hiked some more, laughed and overall just created good memories as a family.

The downfall of camping is no Starbucks, sleeping on the floor, and packing/cleaning up! Those are my only complaints.

I also celebrated my 28th birthday yesterday!

Tomorrow I am hitting the beach with Alex and a friend!

Toodles!

And We're Off!

Tomorrow we leave for our camping trip!

We are all pretty excited!

I will be sure to blog and post pics upon my return~

Happy Trails!

The Kickoff Has Begun

Effective Friday @ 2:00pm I will be on vacation from work for a whole week! No getting up early, no work email, no bosses asking for this and that and no phone calls!

Me, Alex, my dad and siblings, and Alex's parents are all going camping for 4 days! It's going to be great because all I have to do is have fun and relax in the woods.

Upon my return from the outdoors, Alex and I have a day planned at the beach and then I have a spa day with a good friend, and POSSIBLY a scrap fest with the gals.

I also plan on getting organized like sign up for school and get my half marathon training started get some summer reading done, and finish my "SELF" mini album. Speaking of which I need to post pics of that...

Oh and 1 more thing it's my BIRTHDAY on Tuesday...the big 28!

Cheers to the good life!!!!

Here goes....

i have neglected my blog due to my crazy and busy life which lead me to the "D" word: Depression!

Yup I said depression! I was fighting it for awhile and I just thought it will blow over, but behold it didnt. What really triggered it was a argument I had with my mom a few weeks back. I have shared with you about her and her issues have gotten to me. I dont want to blame her completely but she had a big part. Other things were school, the house buying process, money,certain "friends" and body issues I was having. I finally saw a doctor and he referred me to a place that I wish to not disclose just yet. Still testing the waters.

But the past 2 weeks have been good/bad.

Bad:
Mom and I are still having issues.
House Process is on hold
Family is concerned about me
Letting go of the Super Woman attitude

Good:
Ran the Lance Armstong Lifestrong Challenge and came in at 26:55
Getting Better
Working on ME
Taking one day at a time - SERIOUSLY
Will be on vaacation for a whole starting Friday @ 2:00pm
Learning not say No and not feel guilty
I have found out who my true friends are

I have realized in this new journey is that I have my whole life to do it all. I focus to much on what other say, like do this, do that! I know they mean well and all but in the end only Angela can make those decisions. I have a great husband, friends and family that support me with my battle.

It's a scary ass ride but there is nothing that I cant fight. I dont always have to be SUPERWOMAN....just take one day at a time...literally!!!!!

Peace out!
