These Days...

Well, September is officially upon us...  Getting down to 8 months till the wedding now...  It's crazy!!  Ang is getting married in 4 weeks.  4 WEEKS!!!!!  I'm going to be in Idaho in less than 4 WEEKS!  What a trip...  I've been doing a lot of reflection lately...  Thinking of my life a few years ago, comparing it to today.  It truly feels like a foreign dream now.  I have come SO far in the past 2 years.  I have come so far from the girl I was, to the girl I am today.  It feels like it was a completely different lifetime ago that I lived in Idaho.  It's hard to believe it's only been 2 years...  I guess that's good news though 

Last night and today Hurricane Ike has been plowing through Texas, causing havoc all along it's path...  Although it didn't do any damage to Austin, it has ruined many cities, ripped apart many families, demolished many homes...  It really puts things into perspective.  The beginning of last week, I was obsessed with my money issues, with wedding items, with my dogs tearing up my furniture...  Seems meager in comparison...  

These days I'm doing my best to stay in the now, rather than in the when...  Clay always tells me that if I keep putting one foot in yesterday and one in tomorrow, I'm just pissing in today...  Kind of a graphic description, but straight to the point none-the-less...  It's easier said than done, but continuing progress is what it's all about!

Till next month y'all!
