Life is what you make you it!!! you should be rocking and smiling right now as you read these words..So this year will be "41" for me. March 21st is my actual birthdate but starting a few years back i started celebrating from March 1st with my Pisces birthday month folks mainly because my day is the first day of Aries meaning i'm a cusp baby and plus i just like birthdays..mine and everybody elses! LOL! But as I get older, I start thinking about other significances of celebrating things. And I started thinking about how a young college student would feel when she's about to give birth in about 3 weeks and on top of that was hoping that she'd be getting her degree not getting a daughter. So there's a LOT of emotion going on in her life, in her head. So as my life outlook changes so do my celebration reasons!
This weekend began this year's life celebration and it includes attending a wedding of one of my girlfriends that i met in Atlanta. We have 2 AWESOME things in common: We are both from Texas and we are both Dallas Cowboys fans!! *CB4L* She has found her prince charming and I get the privilege of witnessing it. I met her through a group of friends and i like for ALL of my friends to know each other so i ended up road tripping with another friend....welp! I'll have to pick up these thoughts later......
Ok i'm baaaack!!!! I tell you what, when you are single and pretty much do everything alone, specifically road trips, you never know what habits that you have that could be bothersome until you travel with someone else. One thing I notice is I tend to (for whatever reason) allow myself to be corrected about something I do/am doing and i'll apologize for it but when someone does something I just ignore it/adjust to the new environment and keep it moving. I don't know if that makes me a push over or what...but I have to believe that if someone has proven to be a friend, truly stepping in to assist me during a time of need, that the personality difference is just that. A personality difference. I experienced some stuff during this road trip that could have genuinely hurt my feelings back in the day but I had to keep the fact that this was a part of my life celebration going in my head. I did find myself shutting down emotionally because I was literally told in stereo that I talk too much. So I shut it down and allowed a reunion to happen, funny enough when i shut it down i was then told that it made the scene awkward. i laughed it off but i'm thinking "you want me to stop talking, right? So i did...i'm over it.". No hard feelings I just now know new information....AND I see/know some habits that I have that I have to modify when i'm not rolling solo....enough said.
NOW, to describe the wedding weekend!!! It was MARVE-lous!!! I got a chance to see some of my family, me and my ATL homegirl/road trip partner stayed with my cousin and his family one night (Friday) and checked into the hotel where the wedding party was for Saturday. The wedding was at 4pm, we stepped up in there at about 4:30...LOL...luckily my girl (the bride) had a delay and we got there on time! LOL!! Thank you Kalilah!! The ceremony was BEAU-TI-FUL, all weekend me and my homegirl had an impromptu photoshoot...I have to say that gal was on it with her fashion! We had fun!!! Then on to the reception at Sneaky Pete's! OMG! I still see that name and giggle. We had a blast! The reception was soooo much fun! Family/friends were positive and then at the end...the DJ overloaded us on line dances! I did some I knew and learned a few too! LOVE IT!!!!! So on the way back we took some pics as we crossed state lines which put a tad bit of a delay in our return to the ATL but it was worth it. Although i did learn a new travel law...that you can split up a hotel bill and pay via two different credit cards but can't do the same thing for a rental car. *interesting*
Overall...All in all I had a blast and was happy that I made my way to Texas to witness my girl get hitched! Great road trip!!
I will continue to blog about my birthday/life celebration as the days go by...... March 1st to April 19th
