Positive Vibes and Positive Minds

A lot of positive things have happened in the past few weeks and I really don't know where to start. I have been focusing more on relationships - real life, face to face, relationships. I have been focusing less on being on my phone and computer. I have laughed, loved, and had so much fun. Life is so much better when you build and create long-lasting memories.

I have learned that girlfriends - or "wifeys", "W4L"s - whatever you want to call them, are mandatory. There are only three months of summer and I'm striving to enjoy every second. Andrea is one of my best friends. We have been able to build an amazing relationship the past few months - from Snapchats, to dancing, to singing, to crazy stalkers, to laughing, to wifey, to the Lady A/Sam Hunt/Hunter Hayes concert, to Target trips, McDonalds trips, love, and being in the same position in life. She is truly someone that I care about so much.

Then there are the men. You know they always say that things, love, relationships, whatever it may be, occurs when you least expect it. I am not in a relationship but there is one person, one man, in particular who can't wipe my smile away. He makes me happy. I'm not rushing things. I have rushed relationships before and it was destroyed within three months. I am learning to take things as they come and just enjoy the company - even if nothing happens or even if we haven't discussed relationships.

Speaking of relationships - past relationships - about a week ago, Kylan messaged me and asked me what his ex-girlfriend said when she talked to me. I told him to ask her. This situation happened a month and a half ago! It's his drama and I am staying out of it. His ex warned me that he wouldn't stop messaging me and so far, she's been right about that. Bye Felicia!

Andrea and I got invited to Latonya's birthday dinner last week. Latonya is another friend, life long friend, that I can share anything with. Even if we don't see each other or talk to each other every day, I care so much about her and her life. Her birthday dinner was on the patio of this Sushi restaurant. Such a perfect environment and amazing night.

Of course weekends have been spent at Gracie's. Last weekend (not this past weekend) was Gracie's both Friday and Saturday night. I'm too old for that but it was way fun both nights. This past weekend was extremely different. It was a ladies night. I went with Krista and Andrea - both in relationships - hoping it would be a good night. I have never had such a bad experience. Music was horrible, DJ was horrible, crowd wasn't the usual, and there weren't as many people as there usually are. Bummer. It was nice being with the ladies though.

I'm so looking forward to this week -
Bees Game (in the Suite)
Baking Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cupcakes
Lagoon
Kenny Chesney Concert

Life is too short to stress, worry, and plan your life out completely. Life will not always go your way. I have learned that the hard way. It has taken me almost a year to fully realize this. But things keep getting better and I'm really starting to enjoy my place in this world.

Book Review and Summary - Prince Harry - "Spare"

Image
I may be one of the few, but I was intrigued by Prince Harrys' story, which prompted me to pick up his book "Spare." I have to say, as I first started reading, I couldn't put it down, I think I read 50+ pages the first day. I was aware of Prince Harry but knew very little about his life. I remember negative things in the news, all of the negative stories of him. He sounded to me like the "troubled" brother, and, unfortunately, he and everyone else believed he was. I also now understand the meaning behind the book title. The name "Spare" is a name that is described as the one that isn't important. Think of a spare tire, you are kind of pushed to the side until you are needed. As Prince Harry said, his brother was the "Heir" and he was the "Spare" and it was very unfortunate events throughout  the book that describe how and why he felt like this. He mentioned Willy (Prince William) and him were, "The Heir and the Spare. I

10 Ways to Make Parenting a Middle Schooler a Little Bit Easier

Image
My cousin and I were spending some time together a few days ago and she asked about Jace and how he was doing in school. After a few minutes, she suggested that I blog about it. Initially, I wasn't too keen on the idea, but after doing some research, I realized that parenting a middle schooler can be tough for a lot of parents (I got lucky and he is probably one of the easiest ones) at times so I decided to write down what I do to make our days better. Having a middle schooler is so different than having a child in elementary, to me. Here are 10 things that I/we have done that has really made our days easier and better together.  1. Be consistent - every morning I ask my son how he slept and when he comes home, I ask him how his day was. When we eat together as a family (2-3X per week), we each go around the table discussing our highlight of the day. If I somehow miss or forget the questions, he asks me what my highlight was or how my day was which I absolutely love.  On the same t
