It's been a long time. What can I say...life gets away from you or you run away from life. Since my last post Obi and I have grown further apart, I've been on a road trip with my best friend to ATL, plans are starting to move towards starting my business, my little sister is moving to Houston and has been staying with me unexpectedly for the last month, family issues at work, my mentor had a baby boy, and I'm sure the list goes on and on but that's all I can think of at this moment. I have started another blog for my wedding ideas. I learned how to string pearls. I'll try to keep you more updated...my next post will hopefully be about my wonderful weekend with Michael from DC.

Stay tuned!!

Later Days,
Blissful

So things have changed since the last time I wrote. Obi and I sat down and we have become friend...well I guess you could say friends with benefits. I don't think we'll ever become just friends until one of us gets married because we've never been just friends. I'm happy we are finally on equal grounds and I feel like I can do my thing and he can do his without people's feet getting stepped on along the way.

I just got back from my Christmas holiday in Dallas with my family and it was different but it was the best visit I've had home all year. I only saw my sister for about 2 hours of my whole visit which has been the trend for the past couple of visits and she showed up late for opening presents and eating breakfast on Christmas morning but my mother and I had such a great time together. I arrived in Dallas on Tuesday evening after I got off from work and my mother and I went to grab a bite to eat and go look at Christmas lights. Those were the first lights I've seen other than my own this whole holiday season and it felt so good to do that with my mom. I really need that. That Wednesday morning we woke up early and full of energy. We had a great breakfast and then went out shopping. We didn't make plans to see anyone we just enjoyed each others company. I did see my god mom and god sister as well as my ex boyfriend that I have become very close with, and a close friend but that was it and I was fine with it. The day after Christmas we had to head to Longview to my grandmother's house for the ball the their grad chapter host. My play bro, Desmond met us in Longview on Saturday morning and went to the ball with us that night and we had a blast talking about people all night long. I can't explain it but it was the perfect trip. EVERY LITTLE THING WAS PERFECT!! I didn't want to come back to Houston.

Now I'm back in Houston and New Year's Eve is tomorrow. I'm excited to ring in a new year. Megan and I have our tickets and our dress and vow to have a great time. The drama of 2008 will stay in 2008 and 2009 will be full of growth and understanding. Ring in the new year!!!

Later Days...see you in 09!!

Hello once again. I had to ask myself with all the recently relationship (or lack thereof) problems I'm having lately, who will make it into my 2009? I have had my share of ups and downs in 2008 but I have decided that I deserve so much more than what I've received. Now love is a very very tricky thing but why settle when you are currently unhappy for those times when you were happy. Memories can trap you in relationships that can be unhealth to your future. My friend had the perfect status on facebook the other day and I believe that it might be my motto for 2009.

God doesn't give u the ppl u want, He gives u the ppl u NEED. 2 help u, 2 hurt u, 2 leave u, 2 love u & 2 make u into the person u were meant 2 be!!

 It could not have come at a better time! I have finally come to grips with the fact that its not necessary that I find my happily ever after at the age of 22 but that I find it with the one that the Lord has made for me. I have meet some wonderful and beautiful people in my 22 years and I'm sure there are so many more people out there that the Lord plans to put in my life so who am I to stop His plan. I'm no longer sad over what may happen with Obi and I but I'm ok and content. No one should feel obligated to love someone and I believe that Obi might be close to that point. I don't doubt that he loves me but I think the kind of love I need might be a bit to much for him at the current moment. I will always love him but if its meant to be I have to let it go and hopefully he will understand why I must do so. He is the type to fight through love and I am the type to let love go and if it's meant to be then they will find their way back to you.

If he doesn't make it to my 2009 I'm sure I'll have much to tell about the people I do meet in my '09. Have you considered cleaning out your 2008 to make room for 2009? Think about it. Sometimes we carry baggage that was only meant for a season but its our job to let go of what we no longer need.

Oh yeah...I got another call from Michael this afternoon...he sung She Got Her Own into the phone and my face lit up. No only because it was him but because he picks my spirits up. Hopefully I'll see him in 2009!! Stay tuned!!

On a lighter note... I'm currently working on a lil art project and I'll have pics for you soon!!
