First off, the thing that I am SO SO excited about...I'm going to get to see my "real" dad! Yes, you read right. My real dad. As in the one in Ohio that I haven't seen in like 10 years...maybe more. Actually, now that I think about it, I was 11 (or almost 11) when he left and I'm 22 now, so like 11 years. Wow.
Anyway, the way its happening is I have a friend from high school, Marilyn who is going to be getting married on June 20th and she lives in Ohio. SO, she asked me to be a bridesmaid. So, I'll be in Ohio for the wedding that weekend, so of course I'm going to spend time with him too...I am so excited.
Some people are kinda shocked that I would want to see him after all this time, but you know what? He's my dad and I love him. Even though he's made mistakes, and isn't perfect, neither am I and neither are you. But I know someone who is...and He died for our mistakes and our stupidity. He forgives us for all the horrible stuff that we do, so why wouldn't I forgive my dad for hurting me? Of course I would.
On another subject, my cousin's step-mom owns a candle company business and I would really like to have a candle party sometime...would anybody be interested in opening their home for me to host it? I would be willing to share my earnings (I get 35% of what is made). She sells many things-candles (in all sizes and scents, and if she doesn't have a scent that you want, she can make it), smelly jellies (which are kinda like candles but you don't light them, so they're good places where candles aren't allowed...schools, offices, etc), she also makes reed diffusers, and bath products too! Her website is http://southernparadisecandles.com/ I was kinda hoping for either the first or second weekend of November. (They would make great Christmas gifts...hint hint).
It seems to me there was something else I wanted to add to this...but I can't remember.
Oh well.
Gas is 2.79 around my neck of the woods. But I went to Portland on Saturday, and saw it as low as 2.44...but I had filled up on Thursday....oh well.
We are so proud of you, Amber! Let us know how the trip goes! We love and miss you!
ReplyDeleteoooh, I'd love candles for Christmas gifts but i'm not in corpus, though. so sorry, no party.
ReplyDeleteDixie, you could probably order them online...if you'd really want too...I'm not sure what she would charge for shipping though..
