I am NOT in High School anymore

Have you ever had relationships whether with friends or family and all of sudden that person(s) stop talking to you and you don't know why? I understand that people move on and some relationships aren't as strong as you might have thought. It just boggles my mind when someone you really considered a "True Friend" all of a sudden quits responding to emails, messages, etc.

I don't force anybody to be my friend, etc. and I know I am very opinionated and speak my mind. Hey, at least people know where I stand. Anyway, I have come to the realization that people like that don't need to be in my life. I don't play around with people's emotions and especially those whose friendships mean something to me. If I had an issue with someone, I would let them know. Life is too short. Besides, those are mind games you play in High School. Honestly, I don't have time for that kind of nonsense.

Halloween Fun



Another Halloween has come and gone and it was a good one. Sophie had so much fun this year going door to door trick-r-treating. I think she has the concept down quite nicely. She was so adorable in her Raggedy Ann outfit and it just fit her personality.

She really racked up in the candy dept. and Daddy has probably eaten most of it. I don't mind because I won't eat it (maybe just a few pieces) and Sophie doesn't usually eat candy either. I am so glad that there are still people who like to pass out candy to the trick-r-treaters. I have a lot of great memories going trick-r-treating when I was younger and I hope Sophie will have the same. It was so much fun to see the excitement on her face when she got candy. In fact, many times she was given two or three pieces because people thought she was so cute. I would have to agree with them.

I hope all of you had a fun Halloween.
