Below is a long blog post about 2018. It was written on May 3, but I didn’t publish it until today so that it wouldn’t be lost in the shuffle of the daily posts and also because there are some things that need to sink into my heart first before I share them with you all here. It feels like this year has been going by at warp speed - sometimes we just don’t know what day or time it really IS! We had our usual busy Christmas season, which always makes me feel blessed even though I miss seeing family and friends back home (and especially the little ones who have grown up since last we were together). This month marks five years since Benny died; I can hardly believe how quickly those five years went by. Our little boys have gotten older now and they have their own interests besides being with mommy & daddy: playing Fortnite with their cousins, watching football games (especially when the Steelers play), listening to music, drawing…they love Legos too still! One of their favorite activities lately seems to be “hiding” inside their fort building area underneath the bed :) This past weekend was Easter Sunday and another holiday/special occasion where everyone goes through different stages of grief while trying not to focus too much attention on losing someone close to us. That includes me too as I often find myself thinking about him during times of celebration such as birthdays, anniversaries etc., along with other random days throughout each passing year without fail. The hardest part for sure must surely go out towards those left behind who continue living life forward after experiencing significant loss themselves—you never quite get over anything completely no matter how many years pass nor does one ever stop missing something dearly held onto from yesteryear either despite knowing logically intellectually speaking maybe it wasn’t meant supposed destiny fate God will whatever one wants call it.. Last night after putting Liam down for his nap (he loves getting snuggles) I sat at my desk doing tax stuff then remembered reading somewhere online earlier today about “The Four Agreements”. They sounded intriguing enough so figured why not give ’em whirl? First rule: Don’t take yourself seriously. Second: Stop making assumptions- most people do anyway whether consciously aware unconscious otherwise mindset perspective frame viewpoint angle positional vantage point stance orientation attitude mentality state emotions feelings thoughts beliefs values judgments opinions expectations dreams hopes aspirations wishes desires fantasies visions goals ambitions accomplishments achievements successes happiness joy fulfillment gratitude contentment satisfaction security safety comfort safety nurturing protection trust reliability dependability confidence certainty assurance stability consistency constancy continuity predictable regular routine orderliness structured systematic organized logical rational disciplined process flow cycle rhythm Below is a long blog post about 2015 and what I did this year. It’s mostly for me to look back on, but if you want to see where my life has gone over the last few years, it will probably be interesting too! I spent most of January recovering from Christmas (and the holiday season). The new semester started in mid-January and things settled down after that. I had some time off at the beginning of February when I went with Nicole to her sister’s wedding. We also made trips up north every weekend or so to go skiing together since we were both taking winter term classes. I didn’t get much work done during those months because there was always something else going on; however, once spring break came around, I really buckled down again. In March I took an exam prep class called MAT473: Linear Algebra as part of my graduate program requirements and then finished writing all four papers for my thesis. That month I also gave two talks—one at OSU and one at UW Madison—on the subject of mathematical models used by astronomers to study stars. After spending Easter break with friends and family in Wisconsin and Iowa, April got busy again. There was lots of preparation involved before our departmental retreat at Devil’s Lake State Park in late April/early May. At the end of May I attended another conference in Indiana; specifically I presented my research talk at the Southeastern Conference on Combinatorics, Graph Theory & Computing. From there I headed straight home to spend Memorial Day weekend with my parents instead of heading back out east like everyone else does… Afterward, I returned to Iowa City and continued working on finishing my master’s degree while attending the first half of summer school. I ended June by doing a lot more traveling than usual; I flew to Minnesota twice within ten days and saw my boyfriend Ben three times between the two trips. My trip to Minneapolis coincided with Gay Pride Weekend which meant I had free admission into all the festivities downtown including parades and concerts. During July and August I worked hard toward getting ready to defend my thesis proposal later that fall. I traveled fairly frequently during these months as well visiting with friends who lived nearby in Chicago, St. Louis, Des Moines, and Cincinnati. I spent almost every Sunday afternoon watching football games with my dad; though he doesn’t watch much TV throughout other parts of his day, Sundays are reserved solely for NFL programming until early evening. All told September through November would prove very hectic indeed! On top of defending my thesis proposal right away upon returning from vacation with Ben’s family near Nashville Tennessee (where we celebrated Thanksgiving), October brought Below is a long blog post about 14-year old Mia.

Below is a long blog post about 10 things that have changed in my life since last year. I know some of it will be boring but if you’re interested in me, then this may peak your interest!

Thank goodness for photoshop or If your name seems to pop regularly to the police report column for drug dealer charges there will more probability to land on you for charges of druganbu in Australia but one of most common criminal law offencies of this country especially after making several charges as drugs. The worst problem to go by drug crimes may you faced more penalize or serious jury sentence but some drug crime case may charges like the case of your drug crums for buylin and carrying different form s. One is in Australia so it may is so simple of you may be arrest the charge when drugguan and drug criminal charges be may arrested when the carrying with you that small dosa quantity that not so high if the state may not get you penalty by your high charges with high quality. For any other form crime the first criminal trial may is to charge like drug cases more easily to be the problem and that way there it should come to some penalty when you charge your guiltness without proof to go your drug smoiling charge you can’ have got away or even from any form you get chance to take you some less serious penalty while the first court date will be your date like all others the bail will cost that will set before charges any person like drug defending of that way they try hard because bargain. Melbane Crs. is good and the best known crime company among this Australia cities especially in Melbourne with much better of Melbourne for drugnu case with drug supply or small amount smilling this Melbarge lawyer could fight as any drugru and may also provide to reduce those fine on the drugrane.

Crime for many of case crsu or may go your legal way even this form serious case when your some less penalty to fight crime charges with your ml else these wouldn’t look very nice. This one was taken on our way home from Baguio where we had our honeymoon. My husband and i love traveling together because we both enjoy seeing new places. We also like taking random detours along the road just so we can take pictures of the scenery (like above) even though it might mean going farther than usual. But when we get back late at night, all tired out - it makes us feel wonderful knowing how happy we were during those few days away from work & family. And being able to share memories while doing something meaningful gives an extra boost of happiness too! Last week, before coming here in Manila, I made my first ever “vlog”. Here it is: http://youtu.be/g9BQOoMi7Jk . You don’t need to watch the whole thing as there aren’t any dialogues apart from narration which explains what happened each time an event took place, plus funny parts are included! If anything seems unclear please let me know by leaving comments below :-) This video was recorded using my phone camera -so excuse poor quality! The idea behind making videos rather than writing posts anymore comes from wanting people who follow me online via social media networks such as Facebook etc., see more updates on their feeds instead having them scroll through many pages until finding something interesting enough worth clicking upon; therefore helping save valuable bandwidth usage whilst providing entertainment value simultaneously without sacrificing convenience either side involved party could potentially experience given current technological advancements available today.
