New Blog!
For those of you who still stop by from time to time in the hope that I've updated this page, I thought I would go ahead and link you to my new project. It's a collaborative blog called Tales From The Chicks... One that I am hopeful we will have launched as a podcast in the next few months. Come check us out :-)

A few years later...
Geez, how do I even begin to update after so long?
A bullet point list?
*I went back to school and got my degree
*I adopted a little girl from foster care
*I fell in love
I'm happier than I've ever been. Happier than I ever even imagined being.
Life is good.

Things change...
You change.
I change.
Things change.
I am on a journey. It's strange, I keep searching externally for what I am finding is completely internal already. And with that, there is peace.
I am focusing on controlling my mind and even just with the smallest changes, there is such a difference in my life.
Surrender.
I feel myself fighting the moment in I am in sometimes and I mentally step back and just smile at the ridiculousness of that very idea. Fighting the moment I am in. Fighting myself. Fighting my life. I am no longer interested in fighting my life. So I smile and I surrender and I am at such peace.
I had no idea that the tools I spent so long looking for were here all along.
I feel like I am on the cusp of becoming another person.
I feel like a caterpillar.
I change.

last night
Me: Trin, tomorrow is Friday! Aren't you excited? The weekend is coming up!
Trin: No. I wish there wasn't school on Friday... or Monday. We should only have school Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Me: I completely agree. We shouldn't have to work on Friday and Monday either. No school and no work!
Trin: And no dumb stupid math.

The Red Princess Detective
There is a little imaginative girl who lives in my house. Every day when I come home from work and peek into her room, she is off on an adventure. Sometimes it is with her nose buried into a book that she is reading outloud to her dog who is curled up at her feet, sometimes it is in a very involved game including every barbie doll she owns, and sometimes it is in one of the many journals she draws in. She will blip back into my reality long enough to smile and say hi before reentering her own little mind space and blocking out everything not imperative to what she is doing. I softly close her door and go into the kitchen to start dinner. I'm always a little envious that she gets to stay behind.

Who: katehopeeden
Where: San Antonio, Texas Yeah, so I am all that you see here. I am friendly and kind, crazy and bitchy, playful and flirty... sometimes I am funny but mostly I just write the first thing that comes to mind and then stop when it ends. I love life and I am lucky to be living the one that I am. Want to know more?

"The most wasted day is one in which we have not laughed"
"Life moves pretty fast, if you don’t stop and look around once in a while you might miss it."
"Guys are like stars, there's a million of them out there but only one of them can make your dreams come true."
"Reach for the moon, even if you miss you will still land among the stars"

These are a work in progress. They are in the right order, but more will fill in the blank spaces in time as I write them.
"I just got done reading the history lessons on your blog (yes, I've been lurking on your blog). All the respect I had for you...has increased, like, tenfold. I don't think I could have done it. To go through what you have and not only still be able to discuss it with such wit and poise, but also to raise those three gorgeous girls. You are truly an inspiration. You are honestly one of the strongest people I have ever known, either online or IRL. Thank you so much." -Stef
