Feeling Great, Feeling Positive

So yea, the night before last, with the "brother escapade" was not fun, but yesterday things seemed to turn around for me.

First, I felt a sudden relief after blogging and talking to my best friend and my grandmother about the issues with my brother. A weight was lifted off my shoulders as I feel like I expelled SO much negative energy.

Next, I have had an EXTREME amount of energy the last couple of days. I think the one cause is that I'm feeling so much better emotionally, but on the other hand, I think the one procedure that the doctor did on Friday during the surgery is REALLY helping! I'm so excited because that's the biggest thing I prayed for when I started being followed by the Dr. was just to have more energy so that I'm a better mom, wife and just a better person in general. I was SHOCKED yesterday because usually after work I have to go home and sit for a while before I can do anything. Yesterday I got home and I literally just kept going! I cleaned and I played with my kids and then I still had energy left to cook dinner and finish one part of the coat I'm crocheting for my daughter! YEAY!

Also yesterday, my notary certificate and stamp came in the mail so now it's official! I'm a Licensed and Bonded Florida Notary! (I'm not sure why I'm so proud, it was just a 3 hour class to get it!) But what the heck! It's my party and I'll be proud if I want to! LOL

On a very personal note....one thing about being a Florida Notary, is that unlike most states, here as a notary you can solemnize marriages! Now, my best friend Katie hasn't been with her boyfriend for too long, but he's a GREAT guy! I joke with her that I told her that he was perfect for her before she even knew it! LOL So, since I found out I was getting my notary, it's been a running joke that the day I got it in the mail that I was going to drive down and marry them whether they liked it or not (which, for legal purposes I have to say that that is against Notary rules LOL). So yesterday I talked to her and told her I was excited I got my package and she said she had to talk to me. She told me that her and Fau talked about it and if I wanted to, they would LOVE it if I married them when they were ready to do so! I know it might not be right around the corner but I don't think she knows just how much that meant to me! See, Katie only wanted her Grandfather to do it. It meant the world to her that someone in her family was able to marry her and her fiance when they were ready to do it, but, unfortunately her grandfather recently passed and so because of how sentimental that is to her.....it is very much my honor to do the marriage for her. I love my Katie!

We are also getting on our feet financially and my husband got news yesterday that after only 8 months with his company he's first in line for a promotion as soon as the new person is trained for his position. This means better money and MUCH better hours for a family man. I'm so happy and proud of him!

So, although 2008 was off to a little rocky start, I think it's going to be great after all!
