Goodbyes, Selfihsness, soon to come Turkey Comas, and Good People..

Lately so many people I've grown close to end up leaving. It is ok because I know that it is good for them and what they may need, so I'm happy they are getting to do new things and fullfill dreams. But selfishly I hate when people leave me. Since I have pretty much been in the same place for years I'm always the one being left behind never the one leaving. My roommate and friend Danelle left this morning and man am I sad. I only have known her for 3 months but she really was a delight to live with. She was like a sister, she brings the sassyness out of Jennifer! She also received my randomness well, with most they just ignore it instead of appreciating it like it should be appreciated. Sunday I found out another dear friend whom I have known a bit longer then 3 months is moving and then theres my bestie guy friend Daniel who is trying to serve a mission. Which him serving a mission is totally amazing and will be a huge blessing for him so I will never verbalize how much I'll miss him (well besides blogalizing it). He's just the only close guy friend I've had in years, and I adore him to pieces. I think I just have a hang up with leaving because of things I've endured in my life.. But least now I feel and show emotion. Then I just sucked it up and pretended it didn't exsist until it built up and was unleashed through pure unfiltered anger. So thank goodness I just turn into a big sad baby now lol... Nah it's not that bad because the feeling of being happy for that person dominates the sadness. But it does sting. But life goes on you know and I look at it like a huge blessing that I've had an oppurtunity to know some really amazing people in my soon to be 30 years. In the words of Ozzy I'm going through changes... I love that song, even though he is singing about loseing a woman he loves, which I can't really relate to that but when my dad passed I remember listening to this song over and over and singing as loud as I could. My dad was a huge Ozzy fan and took me to 3 Oz fests in my life so we bonded over that weirdo and his wonderfully weird music..
I feel unhappy
I feel so sad
I've lost the best friend
That I ever had
She was my woman
I loved her so
But it's too late now
I've let her go
I'm going through changes
We shared the years
We shared each day
In love together
We found a way
But soon the world
Had its evil way
My heart was blinded
Love went astray
I'm going through changes
It took so long
To realize
And I can still hear
Her last goodbyes
Now all my days
Are filled with tears
Wish I could go back
And change these years
I'm going through changes

So happy changes to everyone and happy THANKSGIVING... Turkey coma here I come!
These are pics of me and Danelleavellie , then me and Daniel Pat!

Let the excitement roll!

2 days 2 blogs post! So I'm so stinking excited. Today my roommate Danelle bought me a ticket to Philadelphia. I will be arriving on December 30th and take a tour of Philly then for New Years Eve we are going to DC. Two place I have never been... I can't wait. I have been really craving a vacation. Even though this is just a mini one it will still be amazing. I haven't traveled much in my soon to be 30 years. I have only been to a few States. My favorite so far is Florida then Utah.. Then the rest I have been to I'm not a fan of like TEXAS booooo and Nevada double booooo... I will be driving back here with her which will be a long trip but I'm excited about seeing something different.
So I have 2 things to look forward too. First starting with next weeks much needed day's off then my little trip.
OOOO another thing I'm excited about is decorating my house for Christmas this year. It will be my first Christmas tree on my own. When I'm at home next week a few members of my family have invited me over to go through there Christmas stuff with them so I can inherit some hand me down Christmas goods. Which is alright with me..
Well I just wanted to post my excitement before I hit the hay. Yeah 10 pm on a Friday I am super lame. I'm just super tired. I actually nodded off in the temple tonight. I felt bad. It was a nice session it was good to see the session at least half full. When I went on Wednesday there was only 6 people.. It's sad..
Anyways nightenight.

Blah!

So I have abandoned blogging for some unknown reason. I think I just have been so busy, funny thing is I don't even know what I've been busy with. So my mind is all backed up with all sorts of things. But I'm at that point again where life seems to be speeding by and I seem to be spinning in a circle. Nothing ever changes.. Work, sleep, church, work, sleep, work, work.. I'm looking forward to a little break from work this next week. I'm also looking forward to being with my Gram. I'm only an hour away from her and talk to her every day, but I just feel this strong desire to be with her.. I think this happens every holiday season, I miss my parents.. All 3 of them, I miss their craziness, I miss their smells, their voices, I just miss them. I even miss my wacky brother.. He has been asking me alot lately to come visit him.. I do want to see him, but Texas just doesn't sound appealing to me.. (All my ex's live in Texas that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee..) lol I always think about that song when I think about Texas. I really hate Texas. Not sure why really just do. But I'm to the point that I don't care. I really want to be with my brother. I am around alot of good people all the time, I have amazing friends, even my aquatiences are great but there is nothing like being around Jason. Even though after 3 or so days' I start to threaten him but it's just he's been with me my entire life. He's the one person that knows everything I've ever been through. Even though I feel like he doesn't completely understand who I am now, I know that he respects me and loves me. I know this post must seem like I'm sad but I'm really ok.. Just have felt a little blah the last 2 days. Seems like every time I blog I have an out pouring of emotions lol guess that's why I love it so much, it gives me a chance to let it all out. But I tell ya there is nothing that brings me more joy then the Gospel. Last night I went to the temple and I felt so engulfed in the Lords love, I was able to take everything in.. It was a wonderful feeling, even the most simple parts of the session had great meaning and brought feelings of love and a new level of understanding. Today I visit taught my dear friend Ari, was feeling blah when I met up with her but she helped me smile, then I had a date with my scriptures and again I felt that love. I received clarity. I'm so thankful for those tender mercies of the Lord and I'm also thankful for emotions. To be able to feel different things it helps me see things clearer it helps me see what I need to change, and helps me see what I may be taking for granted. I think that's why I'm having this great desire to be with Gram and Jason, because I know what I miss with not having Mom, dad, and Sandy here. Another smile to my evening was when I read a friends blog, she mentioned her Grandma and dressing.. 2 of my favorite things in this world my Gram and her dressing lol. Her dressing brings back all the good memories of my child hood.. It makes me remember thanksgiving dinners, and holidays. Every year we would open our gifts like 3 weeks before Christmas because my parents were so excited to give them to us that they couldn't wait..Seem so silly then. But now I know it's because me and my brothers happiness made them happy!
Another thing on my mind is Monday my roommate Danelle leaves. It's so funny that 3 months ago I didn't really want her to come but liked the idea of having extra money and possibly getting new hardwood floors, but now I don't want her to leave. We have gotten really close and I adore her to pieces. She has helped me so much. She is one of those rare extremely beautiful gems.. But just like the others that I love that have moved I know that there are other places that need their beauty and their spirits. So I guess I can share them with the rest of the world. I'm glad I know her.

I'm feeling better.. It's funny how a cry and just letting things out makes you feel so peaceful and so alive.

Well that's enough airing out for the evening, I'm so tired. Good night!
