Time for a change...

I am one of those people that needs change regularly. Is that strange? Maybe it's because I get bored or I am never satisfied.

Don't get me wrong, I love the life I live, but lately I feel like something is missing. I love my job, but this year it doesn't seem like I am my happy, smiley self. I love my home, but I constantly find myself browsing homes.com in towns closer to my best friend, or closer to Cody's job. I haven't even had my car two years and I am constantly searching for a different car. And every month I'm thinking of a new hair color or cut! I seriously think I just get bored!

We bought our house two years ago because it was convenient to both of our jobs. Everyone in our town was born and raised here. I guess, sometimes I feel like we are outsiders because we haven't been here our whole lives. It is a total shocker that I even got hired in the school district because I am one of the few that didn't graduate from here. Homecoming was last weekend and everyone was making plans to attend, and Cody and I had no desire to go. And we have no desire to go to either of our high school's homecomings or football games.

I guess this place just doesn't feel like home. If only I could pick our little house up and move it...Cody just started a new job working all over the metroplex and I am a teacher so we could easily pick up and move. All of our closest friends are in or around Stephenville. I really think that is where I want to be. But, then again maybe not and then I would be right back to square one!

We don't have children yet, and I really just want to find a place that feels like home.

I just thought I would vent or ramble a bit or see if composing my thoughts would make me feel better, but it really hasn't helped at all. I think it has just made it worse.

Now back to Pintrest and Desperate Housewives season premiere....now that makes me happy. : )

Remember...

I was a sophomore in high school when I heard the devastating news. The World Trade Center had been hit, then later the Pentagon and then that last flight that was heading towards the capitol, but never reached it's destination. It was devastating. I was young then, I didn't quite understand how it felt to lose someone or the pain that everyone felt. Ten years later, I am married and have experienced life in a totally different way. I could NEVER imagine having that last conversation with my husband, knowing that I would never talk to him or see him again.

I stayed up watching Dateline 9-11-2001 on Friday, it was heart-breaking. One lady was supposed to spend the day with her husband and celebrate their 8th wedding anniversary, but he was a fire fighter that didn't make it home. Then the stories told from the wives about their husband's overpowering the terrorists on Flight 93. We may never know what happened on that flight that day, but the passengers were so courageous and saved many people's lives by invading the cockpit. That plane never made it to it's final destination, and those passengers risked their lives to save many.

May we all remember this day and keep those who lost loved ones in our thoughts and prayers.

Prayers Needed!

Please pray for our town! Whitney has a massive fire near the dam and a lot of people have lost their homes and half of the town is without power. School has been canceled. It is devastating. Luckily, we are on the other side of the lake, but please, please pray for those that are in harm's way!
