i'm blessed.

During the day, I have a ton of time to think. Tyler works from 8am-5pm and I don't know how to drive a stick-shift 100% yet [I would say I'm at about 75/80%] so I sit and think, reflect, dream... and today I took Haanz on a walk and didn't carry him once... but that's beside the point.

In the past two years plus 3 months, I can't believe where life has taken me. 

I graduated highschool 5 months early, I worked 40-60 hours a week at a full time job answering phones for 5 months, I moved out of the house at 17... 3000 miles away to Maui, Hawai'i,  turned 18 in Hawai'i, my relationship with the person I thought was "the one" came to a dramatic halt, I let the Lord love on me for 4 months straight [and still do!], a guy fell for me in Maui... and I gave him the hardest time, I came home from Maui 6 months early because of a new relationship and a different will from the Lord, soon after the guy left Maui as well, then started a new relationship with a guy 1300 miles away from me, moved to Canada to make 1300 miles only 1.

The Lord has been so gracious, so loving, and so kind to me during this time. He has shown me his love in new ways, he has shown me real love through  and through. He has blessed me with such a man as Tyler... willing to do anything for me on his own, or by my request... although I don't ask for much. I only hope that I can return the willingness he has, and the love he has shown me in the fullest.

I don't really know how to end a post like this, as I could go on, and on, and on about how good God has been to me, how amazing Tyler is and has been, and how excited I am for life.

My God is good. I am blessed.

On a lighter note, some recent pictures of Haanz Diesel!
