Mi vida loca

Well I promised to put something every week- I'm trying hard to do it. I am feeling very melancholy this evening and I'm not sure why. Well i guess there are a few reasons. I was in class today and there is nothing like sitting and studying around 18 year olds to make you feel really old!! I have a study group that met this afternoon and of course there were 3, 18 yr olds, 2, 21 yr olds, and then me! I don't know why it hit me so hard, but it did. I'm not a fan of getting older! I went to dinner last night with my awesome friend Jeff. He has been in Afghanistan on his 3rd deploy and got home last month. We were talking about some of his experiences. He is truly my hero. I cant believe some of the things he told me. Jeffrey, thank you for all that you have done for me and this country. You are an incredible person!
When I got home I watched the biggest loser. They were talking about second chances. It really had me thinking about what I would change if I could do it all over again. There are a few times in my life I wish I had a mulligan/do over! One actually is tonight- you know who you are and I said I'm sorry and I really meant it and I hope we can still be friends! Cuz your are one of the most amazing men I have ever met. I look up to you and the way you are with your daughter and how you handle life-You truly are remarkable.
Well this turned into a sappy post. I guess that's what happens when you are running on zero sleep in the last few days. I hope all of you that read this know that I love ya'll and I am thankful for you! Big Kisses to ya'll MUUUUAAHHH!

I heart NY

So here is the rest of the story.... After the Today show Carley really wanted to go to the American Girl Doll store. So I fugured out where it was and we were on our way. We bought some umbrellas from guys on the street and Carley was in awe that the guys just stand there all day and sell umbrellas!! We found the American Girl Doll store and went in. We decided to have lunch at the store. If you dont know about these dolls-they are kind of spendy. Carley has wanted one, but I have a hard time spending over a hundred dollars on one doll. They are very cute, but still spendy. While we were in line for lunch I noticed that Carley was the only girl who didnt have a doll to eat with her. I know what parent guilt feels like, and I also know what it feels like to be left out of things. At that moment I wanted to run and buy her a doll, buy money didnt permit it. Carley also noticed that everyone else had a doll. I asked her if she wanted to go somewhere else for lunch-she thought about it and said "Its ok if I dont have a doll. I dont care. It doesnt bother me." She is such an inspiration to me. She is amazing. We got to the matrie'd and he asked us how many dolls would be dining with us. Carley said, "I dont have a doll." The Matrie'd said, "well daring come with me-id like you to dine with our of our dolls." They had loaner dolls. Carley go so excited. She picked a doll and it turned out to be a great lunch. They had little notes on the table that had questions for us to ask each other. I think that my daughter taught me a lesson at that lunch for sure. What a special girl I have. I am so blessed to have her with me. God for sure knows what he is doing! After lunch we went to some other stores and walked passed the CBS studios and Journey was playing a concert. We listened to a few song and then went into Fao Schwarts. We then walked by Central Park and were so tired and cold and wet that we decided to call it a day. All in all it was a great 24 hours!

The Salon at American Girl you make an appointment for your doll to get her hair done!
