Family...can't live with them, can't live without them

Our trip was eventful to say the least. We had a great time and thought everything was fine. However, I guess it wasn't after having my family blow up after returning. We thought we understood in advance that my parents would drop us off at G's boss' home, which was on the "planned route" of our trip. However, the plan suddenly changed and there was no plan, when my parents decided to be difficult. When we returned from the trip and planned to spend 3 days in our home town I called my mom to invite them for dinner. She blew a top and went off on me. She said it was my fault she had a horrible trip and my fault that my dad hurt his leg (when is was injured in a snowmobiling accident in February!). G drove most of the trip and we stopped whenever anyone wanted to. She also said I was extremely cold hearted. Mind you, prior to this, I had no idea there were any issues. Evidently, my parents didn't want to drop us off at G's boss', because they thought the vacation should be about them the entire 9 days! I refuse to take responsibility for someone else's enjoyment of a trip. Particularly when we made no requests over the 9 days other than to be dropped off on the 7th day on a route that was on the way. My mom also said that we didn't pay for anything! We paid for at least half of the trip, plus our plane expenses to meet them. G thought we should send her a bill for everything we paid for so she could feel justified and accurately make the statement. My parents and sister also ignored us for the remainder of our trip. Only my mom saw us and said goodbye right before we went home (supposedly she only saw us because she wanted to see our nephew, who was with us). I think this will be the last trip we ever take with my parents.
I am glad we won't be returning for over a year!!!

Written in the Stars

 I realize I can still feel you and after not remembering dreams for almost a decade and having none of you, yet I surprisingly remembered 3 in the past 3 months. I hated that you haunted me in my dreams a decade ago and feel I found a way to block the dreams. Now I welcome the visits since we are separated by space and time that feel lifetimes apart. I In one of my dreams you came to me with Amy Lee and I thought you were together. She sang me the song, "Broken". While on a solo journey of deep inner healing I met a man who deeply triggered me, yet I couldn't stay away. I followed my intuition and met him for a trip. Then during our synchronistic meeting he randomly started singing me the same song and playing it on his guitar while we were tripping together. On the huge screen he was playing a scene with shooting stars like we used to see together and the aurora borealis. My heart skipped a beat when I felt your energy through his song when we were all alone. I asked my

 Here I am 22 years after our last meeting feeling the distance between us. I finally realized why I can't seem to forget you no matter how many walls and blocks I built around my heart and mind. We are living two separate lives yet there is this indescribable energy that still remains even through the sound of silence.  After years of silence, I felt an overwhelming energy in which I felt I could explode. I resisted until I became so haunted I had to reach out. I simply sent you this song:  Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains within the sound of silence [Verse 2] In restless dreams, I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night and touched the sound of silence [Verse 3] And in

Craziest Year of My Life!!!!

Well, February 2010-February 2011 marks the most eventful period of my entire life. We started w/ a possible ovarian cancer diagnosis, G loosing his job the same week, me undergoing major surgery in March-no cancer, but no help for my chronic pain, G finding a new job in April, giving up on infertility treatments in July, adopting our precious son at the end of July, finding out I was 5 weeks pregnant when our son was 1 week old, finding out I was allergic to dairy, soy, wheat, and eggs the same week, a trip to Hawaii with our 3 week old in August, surgery for our 6 week old for Pyloric Stenosis in September, a bout with Pneumonia over Christmas, to G moving out of state in January for 11 months for his job. With all these changes, everything has worked out more perfectly than we ever could have imagined. We attribute our blessings to God and still trust he has a plan with the new changes to come. These few life changes take me to today. To say the least, I'm feeling a bit overwhe
