I enjoyed my stay in Kentucky but found that it is very possible for a woman to go crazy when all alone in such a secluded place. I had to weigh out the pros and cons of moving to Vegas and obviously Vegas won. I have enjoyed the company of all my family members. Everyone has been such a blessing. They have all come together to help me get back up. I am so grateful for all of them. Emily, David, Jen, and Loni have gone to special lengths to encourage me through these changes in my life. I am so very thankful for all of their support. Anthony has been my very best friend through all of this. If it was not for him Kentucky may have been, quite literally, my final resting place. I miss the serene countryside and working on my home but I came to the realization that it is nothing without someone to share it with.
When I first arrived Emily and I took a road trip to Idaho to visit Hannah and Katie. They worked all day making welcome signs and curly paper stuck all over the house for us. I loved their crooked nosed dog named Spanky. It was so good to see the girls. They are so opposite yet both so beautiful! We need to figure out a way to get a trampoline for Katie. She had so much fun and I enjoyed watching her play. She reminds me a lot of me. She hates to stay inside and craves the outdoors. Hannah is just like Emily - wholesome and intelligent.
I finally got to meet the infamous Sariah! She is indeed as wonderful as Emily has been saying all these years. Their family is right out of a text book! They were so welcoming and hospitable. Their home is situated right next to the most beautiful waterfall. I was able to sit out in the shade of their apricot tree with the sunshine on my feet and watch two quails playing for hours while I read and listened to the clucking of their chickens. I thought I died and went to Heaven! I can honestly say I didn't want to leave. I don't think their family completely understood how much I appreciated and admired them.
I was able to finish "Catch Me If You Can" by Frank Abagnale. If you want a good read this is the one. I never thought I would end up rooting for the "bad guy". I believe he was extremely gifted but completely immature, irresponsible and selfish. He had so much to offer but couldn't get outside of himself. It's such a shame when someone with so much talent squanders it away. I think he finally turned his life around and I would love to read that book if he ever decides to write it. I am currently looking for another good book so if anyone has any suggestions let me know.
My health is improving daily. I have been taking some herbs from Herbally Grounded and have gone to some more-than-amazing classes there. I have been learning so much and actually applying the things that I've learned. I guess I have come to the understanding that knowledge is nothing without application. I have been running every morning, taking yoga classes and working out at the gym as well. You would think that I looked like Miss America by now but I was in worse shape than I realized!
I have been enjoying Olivia, Elizabeth and Lauren. They keep me occupied and entertained especially on days when I am down. I got up this morning all sweaty and thought I had a really bad hot flash then I realized Lauren had peed on me in her sleep last night! Olivia and Elizabeth came down stairs this afternoon with their cookbook and announced to their mom they were going to make smoothies. They didn't have one ingredient that they needed so Olivia said she could ride her bike to the store and buy them! Does she not know she lives in Las Vegas?? The girls make me smile even when I don't feel like it.
