Almost 30!

Tuesday I will be the big 3-0. One friend asked how it feels, well I have happy to be turning another year older, to see another day. For me it is also a victory seeing how neither my brother or sister lived to see their 30th birthdays. So although previous birthdays I didn't really celebrate, this one I throwing a big celebration; celebration of life, of family, of friends.

I don't feel any different, and like the saying goes "you are as young as you feel", and just last month someone thought that I was in my early 20s. But I like to embrace my time here on earth, and quickly correct them to my real age. Because I have been truly blessed to come so far, and I am excited to see how far I will go from here.

Going home!

I am so excited that I am going home next weekend. I can’t wait to see my family and know that we are going to have so much fun just hanging out. Family is so important and we should not take them for granted. They are the only ones that you can count on “all the time”. It will be a long trip to get to Georgia, even by airplane; it will take about 8 hours. I have a 2 hr drive after the plane ride which seems to take the longest. This trip is for celebration, I will be turning 30 and I am so grateful to be able to share this moment with family and friends. I still have so much to accomplish with decorations, menus, and scripts; but I am sure everything will work out and come together.

It’s snowing…why!?!?

I have been here for over 5 years now and I know that snow was on the horizon, but this is the earliest. Originally for Georgia, it is something to get use to; that is driving in these conditions; and being able to withstand the low temperatures when you are outdoors for extended periods of time. Unfortunately for me, I get cold really fast and after about 5 minutes I am ready to find a place that is warm and cozy. So why did it have to snow and drop to such low temperatures on the same weekend that I volunteered to march during the opening of the Rockies Game 3 and 4? I am going to dress in layers and bring hand-warmers but that will only last so long for me, and then I will be looking for a building with heat, ahhh sweet warmth! To revive feeling back to my icy cold and thumbing fingers, to bring back the color to my almost frost nip nose, and the movement back to my toes.

2012? Really could the Mayans be right?

How many times have I heard the prediction that they world was going to end, countless times. I remember once when I was very young probably in elementary school and remember in the newspaper and on television, so body was saying that the world was going to end. Being so young and easily persuaded, I believed it and was so frightened that I did not want to leave the house and remember crying and refusing to go to the circus that we were on our way to that day.

As I got older, I was so easily persuaded and now I want scientific proof. As of lately the new thing is the Mayan's calendar which stops at the date December 21, 2012, and some believe that since they were so accurate with this calendar that since it ends on this date, that the world will also. So I did some research on the idea, and one scientist believes that the sunspot cycle will occur in 2012 and will be the strongest one yet. While other believe it will happen sooner like 2010 or 2011. But what does this sunspot cycle entails? Well not the end of the world, but just a malfunction in our technologies such as cellphones, GPS, and weather satellites.
