MissLiz On....

LOVE: My love for Aaron grows stronger and stronger every day. Seeing him makes my heart beat ten times faster, waking up to him makes my day ten times better, and being around him makes my smile, well, ten times bigger. There's nothing like spending time and getting to be with [for what I hope is forever] your role model and very closest friend. Coping with his schedule and the little time we get to see one another has been extremely difficult but I think I am finally getting the hang of it. It's quality rather than quantity and I am loving every second of that. I am so proud of him for the teaching, the coaching, the reffing,the schooling, and everything else he manages to do all in one week including making time for me. I without a doubt, have more in a boyfriend than I could have ever imagined and I am the happiest that I have ever been!

FRIENDS: Point blank, I have the best friends anyone could ask for [and more], those who don't know them are missing out on some amazing blessings... They have been there for me through the worst and the best and continue to pull through for all the good times and the bad. Words do not express the love that I have for each and every one of them. Love, love, love you guys!!

HEALTH: Being fit is the most amazing feeling in the world. I may not be a size 0 or ever even be a size 5 again but I love my body and that is the most important thing to me. I am able to do and see things that as I have said before, most don't get to. Hiking is my new favorite past time. I would hike every day if I could. Oregon is a great start, I have an appreciation for my state that I never had before. I am excited to explore different states and in the future, different countries. Exchanging the empty calories of beer for water has made a huge difference in my stamina and all around well being, I love it. Best. Decision. Ever.

FINANCES: I am FINALLY back on top and I can once again say that I was able to pay all of my bills on time AND put money into my savings account. Goodbye Stress: HELLOOO Freedom! I made my first big (ridiculously big) purchase a few years ago that has kicked me in the rear quite a few times to say the least.My Car. Well, that my friends, is ALMOST paid off! I am soo excited to have one number on the other side of that comma rather than two, let alone a number less than 6! My next goal... $500... and then MINE. All Mine!!! I still have a little debt but that will all be paid off in no time. I am giving myself no later than January for that... then the word ACCOMPLISHMENT really kicks in. YESS!!!!

WORK: Work is the only thing I have to complain about. I have been here for a long time and I guess the longer I am here, the things that haven't changed and probably never will get on my nerves more and more. I should be used to it by now... Authorities don't listen, they are only worried about themselves and what corporate thinks about them or their numbers, not the conditions their employees are working under or anything else for that matter... On the other hand I am VERY thankful to have a job that pays more than minimum wage and gives me close to 40 hours every week. Until something better comes along I should work on keeping my mouth shut and fake being happy here. Work is work right?


LIFE: All in all, my life is wonderful, great family, amazing boyfriend, awesome friends,and a God that blesses me every day with each one of those things.
