hey all......

School is already goin by fast. Online course is goin great. Luke and I are fine. I went on a lovely date to Captain D's with one of my bestest friends....Breanna blank Steinbeck. hahaha I love u woman! You know what. I miss my friends. I wish had soooo much time to spend with them because they help shape who I am. I love my friends so much. Jill and Bre are the best girls that anyone could ask to be their friends. And everyone that I used to hang out with from Point....soooo much fun. I love them all. I was just looking on Facebook for people from Point and I just wanted to cry because I miss them so much. We had soooo much fun at our campouts. Never a dull moment. So many memories were made. But everyone is growing up now and moving away or getting engaged or getting married. Life definately moves on and doesn't wait for anyone. If I could just take a complete week out of my life to spend with my buds, then I would. And life is sooo short. Please don't forget those who are closest to you and even those who you are "kinda" friends with. To everyone that's reading: I love you and you will always be my friends.

And now lyrics from my new fav. song:

When I get where I'm going*On the far side of the sky*The first thing that I'm gonna do*is spread my wings and fly*I'm gonna land beside a lion*and run my fingers through his mane*Or I might find out what it's like*to ride a drop of rain*Yeah when I get where I'm going*There'll be only happy tears*I will shed the sins and struggles*I have carried all these years*And I'll leave my heart wide open*I will love and have no fear*Yeah when I get where I'm going*Don't cry for me down here*I'm gonna walk with my grandaddy*And he'll match me step for step*And I'll tell him how I missed him*Every minute since he left*Then I'll hug his neck*So much pain and so much darkness*In this world we stumble through*All these questions I can't answer*So much work to do*But when I get where I'm going*And I see my Maker's face*I'll stand forever in the light*Of His amazing grace*

long time no type......ummmm, Christmas and New Years were both awesome......everybody was sooooo generous. Luke gave me a few things including a ring!! Not a lefty, but a righty. It is sooooo beautiful! I love him, we have also been dating for over a year now. Umm, school is goin great. I bought me a laptop yesterday. Love it! I have 2 online courses this year and a whole lotta papers to do. Luke quit the hardware store and is working for his bro-in-law. I'm working there still. Not really sure why because I'm not the hardware type of girl, but it pays my gas bill. haha Oh and my brother is single. So if any girl out there in cyberspace is looking for a 23 year old male about 6 foot 1 and probably 200 lbs. (now), then he's the one for you! hahahaha no, but I have to know you in order to recommend you. Sorry strangers. anyways that's it. later

This is me and Luke at his sisters' wedding.

This is us at his friends wedding....he was in it

And these are my doggies, Australian Shepards. The one on the left is Bear and the other is Chloe. They will be 6 months on the 26th of this month.

And this is of me and my ring.....of course, you can't see the ring very well, but I'm holding it! haha

And that's the end of picture time for now.....it is very late. later all!

okay, i have had a really rough week+weekend. I have really come to realize what kind of a person I was turning into. It was a rude awakening. I don't really know what cause it, but I was really being a butthole. It may have been stress. I cared so much about what I wanted and what other people thought about me, that it was affecting my relationships with everyone I knew. I was depressed and easily aggitated. I wouldn't listen to what other people would say, but instead interrupt and say my part. I was gradually turning into the person I never wanted to be and the kind of person I could never stand. So I was unhappy with myself and that caused a rippling effect with everyone around me. But, all is better now, I'm no longer allowing myself to stress over the little things, I am going to enjoy the little things in life, I am no longer going to try to rush my future, I am treating everyone exactly how I would wish to be treated, and I am no longer going to let money run my life nor am I going to let the opinions of others affect the person I am. I have come to the fact that if someone wishes to talk about you, then that person is miserable and is trying to make everyone else around them to be miserable as well. Or you could think about it this way, if they are talking about you, then they must be jealous of you. And to that, I am thankful that they are jealous of me, because believe it or not, that boosts my self esteem. The reason being, I never had enough self esteem, I wanted to look or act like someone else. But now, I am satisfied and content with the person I am today, November 16, 2005. And my attitude change has changed those around me, they are happier now. I also felt a sigh of relief after changing. Change isn't always bad.

So, I just want everyone who reads this to know that you are your own person, you are loved by someone though you may not realize who, but God does love you, no matter what. Don't give up, but strive for what is best for you and those around you, not like a people pleaser, but if you are happy, then everyone around you will be happy. You don't have to listen to me, but I just thought that I would share something.

Love, Tiffany

Oh and btw, the movie Jarhead sucked.....it was dirty and dumb, I regret seeing it, especially with my mom!
