Well, its official. I am back to school! This is my second week taking classes and I am pretty freaking excited about it! although i feel tired all the time and i have more on my plate than i ever thought possible, i am having so much fun! i am taking two classes right now. on monday, wednesday, and friday i am enrolled in an interpersonal communications class. the class is said to teach us about better ways to communicate with the people around us, including friends, family, work associates, etc. I think i am a pretty good communicator as it is, but you never know! I am excited to see what this class will open my eyes to. then, on tuesdays and thursdays i am taking a digital media essentials class. aka. intro to photo shop. that is that class i am sitting in currently. the teacher is always about fifteen minutes late, then he talks for a little over an hour about god knows what. all the while we are playing online and not really listening to a word that is being said. then we play on photo shop until its time to leave.
now all of this seems pretty hectic with my full time work schedule, right? WRONG! I got a promotion at work! i am now a member of the chat team for 1800 contacts. no more phone calls, no more stupid people yelling at me over the phone because they dont understand the concept of LEGAL 24 HR DELAY. some people i swear...ANYWHOOOOO now i am off the phones and just spend the day chatting online to equal idiots.
oops...theres the teacher. gotta bounce!
weight loss!

its only right to do so.
one year ago today, the battle ended. the rage stopped. the fighting, the tears, the screaming, the pretending. it all ended one year ago today. right around this time.
this situation still pierces in my brain like it just happened. just yesterday. just moments ago. its hard to believe it let myself feel so sad, so mad, and to get so close to someone I didn't want to spend my life with.
This is a day of celebration. the day i found myself again. the day i packed my things, said goodbye to the past, and hello again to the ones who REALLY loved me.
still...its hard to believe its been a year...365 days...525,600 minutes...or something like that.
the things that have happened in this year.
2 new jobs
2 new cars
4 new bosses
30 new outfits
1 lost friend (kodabear)
1 kitten
1 new pup
1 driving citation
50 drunken nights
1 fist fight with a man....i won..
2 camping trips
4 strange..(if you dont know, you cant know)
2 reunited best friends
many new friends
a few new boys
new passions
new adventures
new experiences
and most importantly
one beautiful baby girl..
I have seen my fair share of ups and downs over the past 365 days. and i dont regret a single moment of it. i have had such a good time finding myself again. cannot wait to see what the next ten years bring!

time for some ketchup
I have become a bad blogger and for that i will apologize. its funny, i feel like i apologize at the beginning of almost all my blogs. i need to break that habit. :)
In the past month, some very beautiful and very interesting things have happened. I will do my best to fill you in on all the most important things.
I had a very lovely 4th of july with my family. we watched the parade in the morning with the cousins, and then that night i was able to watch fireworks with my sis, brother in law and father. it was a lot of fun, and i even bought glow sticks like a little kid. :)
the rest of july pretty much played out as usual. nothing too exciting happened through the middle of the month. i worked a lot and played a lot. my bestie Aimee Green is back into town so i am having a good time laughing and going on adventures with her.
Then, july 21st came around, which was the due date of my older sisters very first daughter, Olivia. now, keep in mind, only 13% of women go into labor on their due date. well, melissa likes to break the standard, that is what i love about her. so of course, at 6 am, she checked into the hospital, in labor. after a looooong day, at 2:30 am on July 22nd, 2011 Olivia Irene Kemp was born, weighing exactly 7lbs and measuring exactly 20 inches. she is a bundle of pure perfection and I have never felt so much love for someone i have barely known. she is such a blessing. she is beautiful. :) here are a few pics.

isnt she a doll!? god i love her. :)
July ended with the celebration of Aimee's 23rd birthday, where we went to the lake, went cliff diving, swam, camped, drank, and i beat up a man. :) thats all folks. bye for now.

a little vent time
i am not the type to normally complain about all my problems. i usually keep a smile on my face whenever possible. but I have had a very rough month. first, i had a problem with the screen going out on my phone. now in the past, any time i call t mobile i have to wait on hold for over an hour before getting through to them. and i was not ready to do that when i had a broken phone. so i went to the store and had the man there troubleshoot it. after about 35 seconds he agreed that i needed a new phone. my phone was under warranty so i did not have to pay anything for the new phone. he told he they would overnight it to me for free, but because this happened on a friday afternoon, it would not be there until monday or tuesday. so monday comes...and goes.....and tuesday comes....and goes......and then i watch the rest of the week pass by, and still no phone. then saturday evening, i receive a package. and guess what is inside?! NOT MY PHONE! all they sent me was a PHONE BATTERY! NEWS FLASH! MY BATTERY WORKS FINE!
then, fathers day rolls around, and i am sure we have already heard about all the drama that happened there with my car dying, bumper getting ripped off, me crying on the phone to a customer, etc..
now, my mother is having a very hard time lately with controlling her emotions. and one night she really had a freak out on me, not for any reason in particular.
then, my work tried to tell me that i was not going to get my bonus check for the month, which i rightfully earned.
then, my paypal account got hacked and all my money was stolen out of my bank account. after i called paypal and blocked my account, they were able to somehow allow to crook to still place two more orders, totaling hundreds of dollars. i then had to cancel my wells fargo account, open a new one, reset my direct deposit, call all my bills and debt collectors and reset my arrangements with them. it was a whole days process. drama, drama, drama.
then, dont worry, my car died again. wtf!!
ugggh. so glad today is the last day of the month, and a new moon. i am ready for a fresh start!

eye rain...
the sky was full of thunderstorms today. lightning, rain, and even some hail. but the only rain i felt was that coming down my face, from my eyes. today is fathers day, and I was reminded today of just how amazing my dad is.
i was unfortunately put into an exhausting situation this morning regarding the new car that i purchased in late april of this year. it is a 2000 ford focus with just over 100k miles on it. now, to step back to my previous car experience, i have not had the best luck when i comes to cars. from blown head gaskets to repos, i have not been blessed when it comes to cars. this car in particular has given me problems pretty much from the start. within a week of having it we determined (incorrectly) that there were problems with the connectors of the alternator. after two weeks of ignored calls, i was FINALLY able to reach the car company and have them take the car back to be repaired. they then determined that the fuel pump was shot. they "replaced" it, and returned my car to me with a completely empty gas tank. i took the car home and it worked for about a week before dying again. since then, i have been able to use the car for about 60% of the time that i have it. the other 40% it gives me total hell. we have replaced the dip stick, fuel filter, battery connector, and now the fuel vaccum sensor (i think) and now we are thinking that the fuel pressure regulator will need to be replaced. that part, new, is $150 dollars. which i do not have, and cannot bring myself to pay for. we looked at pick and pull and couldnt find what we were looking for. so now we are deciding what to do next.
last night, i began watching a movie that i have been meaning to see for a long time now. the secret. this moving is basically a theory that life is based on the law of attraction. anything that happens in your life, you attract it to your life. the movie goes on to explain that the law of attraction cannot determine feelings regarding the action object or lifestyle in which you are thinking. for example. i woke up this morning thinking "i dont want to have car trouble" the secret's theory stats that the law of attraction only registers that i am thinking of "car trouble" not whether or not i want car trouble. the law of attraction states that because i am thinking of car trouble, that is what i attracted to myself. in turn, you ultimately have to think about only what you desire, not what you dont desire, because you will attract what you are thinking of. prior to watching this moving, this was the general rule in which i lived by. positive attitude = positive outcome. but to practice what i preach is a totally different story. but after the day i had today, i have decided to make an extremely strong effort every single day to think of only the things i do want, not the things i DONT want.
this day made me realized how blessed i am to have some of the people in my life that i have. first of all, my co workers. so many amazing people stepped up today in my time of need and offered me comfort and friendship. i have been truly blessed to know all of these amazing people.
second, my entire family.they are so very different and wild and a little out of control, but whenever i need them i know i can count on them to be there for me.
last, and of course most important for this day, my amazing father. John Aaron Wilson. Born April 26, 1968. He is the greatest human being i will ever know. he is my best friend, my partner in crime, my daddy, my everything. he is such a selfless and loving person, and always puts his family before himself. he will do whatever he can to make sure that we have what we need when we need it. he goes above and beyond to take care of us. i have built a bond with him that i cannot explain to the average person. i was like the son he never had. he is the greatest man i will never know, and i am so blessed to have him as my father. i share more personal stories and jokes with him than any other human in my life. he will forever and always be my rock, my shoulder to cry on, my helping hand, my best friend, my compadre. love you daddy. happy fathers day!

how perfect
Sunday, May 15, 2011
this could be the start.
well folks. thank you for patiently waiting while i neglect to update my blog. i know i am not the best at maintaining this. but i am doing my best to keep it up to date. this last week has been great. I started a pretty serious diet and although it was a big change in lifestyle and a little bit hard at first, i think that so far i am doing a great job. in one week i lost about 6 lbs. this is just the start. my goal, as crazy as it sounds, is to lose 70 lbs within the next few months (before christmas) and i think with the progress i have made so far i will be able to accomplish it! all of your words of encouragement would be much appreciated!
on saturday i had the honor of taking my baby sister's senior pictures. she graduates this june, and i am so excited to see where she takes her next step. here are a few of my personal favorites.
