<span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(69, 69, 69);">10 years ago I married my best friend. I was scared and still learning about life and myself. Honestly, I had no idea what I was doing, but I KNEW I wanted to walk this journey of life with him. I needed him in my life, and now that I look back on the last 10 years, this still holds true. Not all marriages are perfect, although at times it does seem ours is. We’ve made mistakes, I know I have, but we’ve gotten to a place where enjoying life and each other is so much more important than anything else. We choose laughter and experiences. We are each other’s best friend; we listen, we understand, we encourage each other. Each year it seems like we grow and evolve; our relationship gets better. The first few years were hard, I’m not going to lie, just the two of us. Then we had Autumn and then suddenly everything changed. She changed me, she made me a better person, she made our relationship, our marriage, <b><u>better</u></b>. It seems like these years passed quickly. I reminisce on our travels, relocating, career changes and accomplishments, and I also think about the hard times, the challenges and uncertainty between those highlights. Re has been my rock, even when I didn't deserve it, he was and is </span><u style="caret-color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><i>always</i></u><span style="caret-color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"> there. We've been together for 15 years, but these 10 years, I feel, are what counted the most. So as we embark on this next decade, I look forward to adding a new addition, continue the endless laughter, travel, and grow in love, friendship, family, career, and health.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(69, 69, 69);">To my husband, for always understanding the complex person I am. For making me laugh when I need it the most. For holding me in your big arms. For always making me feel safe. For forgiveness and understanding. For your encouragement, your love, your friendship. For always knowing our future. And most importantly, for loving me as an individual, loving me for me, not only as a wife or mother, but truly knowing ME. <i>I love you. </i></span></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">A glimpse into the chaotic and wandering mind of Adrienne. Sometimes when I am in a moment or find inspiration in my location, my experiences; I record words, thoughts, and memories into the notes app in my phone. I feel sometimes I am always in “writing mode.” Inspiration derives from real life experiences, my dreams, observation of others, etc. So what you read may or may not have occurred. I think that is the essence of writing, being able to step in and out of your world.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Part II of our road trip consisted of; The Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, Crazy Horse Memorial, Mount Rushmore and The Badlands. Needless to say, South Dakota had some amazing sights! <u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />Autumn is at an age where we are teaching her who she is, the background of two resilient cultures; African American and Native American. Her mind is still young, so we are not going in depth or into the specifics, not even the bad, but an idea of what is behind those strong ethnicities. At my niece’s graduation, ceremonial dancers and drummers started the Graduation commencement. We stayed on the Blackfeet reservation and our trip to the Little Bighorn Battlefield and the Crazy Horse Memorials were introductory learning experiences for her. There is still so much for her to absorb. As a child, until age 9, I was raised on the Navajo reservation; I was surrounded by my elders, family, friends, teachers, etc. Everyone was like me. For me, it was not so much “learning” who I was, but more so a way of life. I know for her it is going to be different, but I always want her to be proud and knowledgeable.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">PART II Highlights:</span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><u></u></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">1. The Little Bighorn Battlefield was unplanned and spontaneous, but also one of my favorite sites to see. The history behind it. There was a calmness about the area; the green pastures were very quiet and serene. <u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />2. I preferred the Crazy Horse Memorial over Mount Rushmore, but I thought it would be an interesting site for Autumn to see.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">3. The Badlands were breathtaking. I had a friend recommend the Badlands and I am so glad we went. One of my favorite stops of the entire trip. I now have a bucket list goal; to camp and sleep underneath the stars at The Badlands. Hopefully some day…<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">4. We stopped in Chamberlain, South Dakota to view the 50 foot tall statue, Dignity. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Dignity is a stainless steel statue depicting a Native American woman draped in a star quilt. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">We stopped 2 Native youth with basketballs in their hands walking alongside the road. We asked them for directions to the statue. Shy and giggly, they looked at each other then looked back at us saying the statue was off the interstate. I said thank you and thought of my youth. I was one of those girls with a basketball walking on the side of the road. A young Chimmey with Issy and Michelle. <i>That moment made me smile. </i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #222222;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">"Standing at a crossroads, Dignity echoes the interaction of earth, sky, and people. She brings to light, the beauty and promise of the indigenous peoples and cultures that still thrive on this land. My intent is to have sculpture stand as an enduring symbol of our shared belief that all here are sacred, and in a sacred place."</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></i></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">WOW! It has been almost a year
since I last blogged. I will say it; I've neglected this blog, but hoping
for a resurrection. I still continue to write even when I don't blog.
Writing is therapeutic for me, even if I quickly jot my thoughts in the endless
notes I've collected in my phone, which is what I've been doing this past year.
I think in an upcoming blog post, I would like showcase a few of those,
along with some old. A glimpse into the chaotic and wandering mind of Adrienne.

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">To ignite this resurrection, I'll
start with our recent road trip; 8 days, 4,000 miles across 8 states. Nine days later, I managed to unpack the suitcases, about 2,000 bugs are still splattered
across the car (need car wash ASAP) and I promised photos and route
information.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The Jackson All American Road Trip,
as my husband would call it; he has a fascination with National Lampoons
Vacation. We have experienced a great deal of traveling in the U.S., but this
was new territory we were about to experience. Autumn ended her first grade
year, and we thought why not begin summer vacation with the open road and the
great outdoors! A non-traditional trip for us. We usually fly to our travel
destinations, hotels are always pre booked along with an itinerary of food and
recreation. I am a planner. This was a trip where not much was planned except
the list of places we wanted to see/explore. So we packed up the SUV, left
Illinois on a Wednesday evening and embarked to our first destination; Kansas
City, Missouri. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">From Kansas City, MO, we drove
through Nebraska, and arrived in Cheyenne WY. From Cheyenne WY, we were
anticipating our journey to the Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone Park.
Upon entering the parks, we encountered snow, bear sightings, mesmerizing lake
and mountain views. On a Friday evening, having no plans or hotel reservations, we found
ourselves scrambling for a place to stay, minimal phone/internet coverage and
for me, the anxiety of navigating Yellow Stone Park at night! Ask Re, I had
about two panic attacks, along with one triggering Autumn as she cried in the
back for no reason. We managed to find our way to Cody, WY at 1 am. A beautiful
local Wyoming town. The following day, we began our day with brunch at a local
eatery then set off to our second day at Yellow Stone. We explored more
wildlife, waterfalls, geysers, and Old Faithful. We would often stop on the
side of the road to ask the Buffalo for directions. Autumn LOVED that. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">“Ummm, Mr. Buffalo or can I call you Bill? Can you tell us how to get
to Yellowstone Park?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We entered Yellowstone through
Grand Teton National Park North Entrance. Exited the East Entrance to stay in
Cody, WY. Leaving Yellowstone, we used the North Entrance entering Montana. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Sunday we reached Browning,
MT/Glacier National Park. My niece graduated High School. The first grandchild
of our family, the female doppelgänger of my older brother. Her smile is
his smile and just being in her presence, is being in his again. It was such an
emotional, but PROUD day for our family. I remember when I graduated High
School, my brother was there, along with my niece. At the time, she was very
young. On her BIG day, she whispered to me: “Remember when you graduated and we
were there, I have that picture.” On the day we left, she text the photo to me (tear). We watched our young woman walk across the stage and receive her
diploma. She dedicated her cap to him; he was there. I know he is proud of the
responsible, intelligent, funny, full of life young woman she has grown up to
be. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for her!</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;">My goal in life, my goal as a mother, a </span><span style="background: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Diné</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;"> mother is to instill in my little one, the importance of self-identification. Autumn, at age 6 now, is starting to grow into her own skin, her own identity, and that identity includes being </span><span style="background: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Navajo (Diné)</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;">. The other day she randomly says: deiji’</span><span style="background: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;">éé’, I’m confused and I ask her what she said: “shirt Mommy, it means shirt.”</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;"> I feel like now is a good time in terms of age and understanding to start introducing Navajo traditions and culture into this tiny, beautiful human. As she begins to grow and later evolve into a young woman, I want her to always know her strong, culturally rich background; American Indian and African American. I want her to know her clan, speak some of the language, know the history, culture, and traditions. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><u>I want her to respect and stand up for her history</u>. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I’m not going to know everything, and I don’t, but I do have my experiences as a child, my family, and my friends. Most of all, I want her to grow up being proud of who she is, I want her to stand tall, resilient, confident, and humbled. </span><span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;">With that said, tomorrow is the Solar Eclipse, August 21, 2017, and while many have traveled far, those still in search of eye protection and the anticipation throughout the public continues to increase, Autumn and I will be home. For a few weeks, I put a lot of thought into how to I would approach this with Autumn. She’s still very young and she may be confused, unaware of what’s going on, or she may just overall not care. I wanted this to be a teaching moment, a defining moment in her growth. I was stuck for a few days and then I pictured myself asking my grandmother and one word stuck in my head; </span><span style="background: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;">"Yiiya.” I took that as a sign and I knew what I had to do. I truly feel like she spoke to me. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;">In the Navajo tradition, it is believed that the sun dies during a solar eclipse. This occurrence is an intimate/private moment between the sun, moon and the earth. In accordance with </span><span style="background: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Diné</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;"> teachings, one must not look at the eclipse; one must respect the Eclipse by maintaining stillness in their homes and not partake in food or water during the eclipse. This is a time of rejuvenation, a time of prayer and new beginnings. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;">So tomorrow, as Autumn and I partake in our stillness, I will be reading “Sunpainters: Eclipse of the Navajo Sun” by Baje Whitethorne. I look forward to this beautiful moment between her and I. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I've always wanted to do a style post, and I'm not sure why it took me so long. We have been preparing for our trip to Disney World this week, along with the warmer weather approaching. I find that this kiddo needs a new wardrobe at the beginning of every season. Autumn seems to be growing at a rapid rate, one I am not prepared for as she turns 6 this week. When it comes to clothes for Autumn, I aim for comfort and style. Here are a few pieces I selected for Summer and Disney World. The Giraffe printed swimsuit from Gap adds a safari touch as we will be staying at the Disney World Animal Kingdom Lodge. These items range from Mini Boden, Zara Kids, Gap and Nordstrom.</span>Adrienne.Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06898258179876617532noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5025530224541130788.post-16017018292186194432017-05-07T09:54:00.001-07:002017-05-07T10:06:02.402-07:00ART.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="mso-no-proof: yes;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">As I mentioned in the
previous post, ART has become somewhat of a fourth member of the family. For
the past year, we’ve spent a lot of weekend time at the St. Louis Art Museum.
One of Autumn’s favorite things to do on the weekend is brunch and a visit to the
Art museum. On a daily basis, she creates Art; at school, at home, and her
after school program. She’s very much into making stuff, of course that also includes
a mess. Toys seem to be a pastime, and she’d rather spend her money at
Michaels and time on cutting, coloring, gluing, painting etc. Her eyes light up
at the thought of a creation, an idea. So what do Re and I do? We encourage and
support her love for <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Art.</u></b></span></span><br />

<span style="mso-no-proof: yes;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">She can spot a Van Gogh, and her
Art preferences include Modern, Contemporary and Abstract Art. We’ve recently
visited the Museum of Contemporary Art – Chicago, National Gallery of Art and the
Hirshhorn Museum & Sculpture Garden in D.C.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">While visiting the Hirshhorn
Museum & Sculpture Garden, I dragged little Miss with me in hopes of
viewing the Infinity Mirrors exhibit by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. This was something I was really excited to see! So we arrived early to a long line. Starting
out at 400 passes available, I took a guess and thought there was no way there
was 400 people in front of us, we were as good as IN. Time passed as we became
closer to the entry; we stood in line for 2 hours. As passes started to
dwindle, I crossed my fingers, hoping we were going to get inside. With about
20-30 people in front of us, they gave us the devastating <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>news of NO MORE PASSES! The 30 or so of us
were devastated, a young boy age 3 or 4 began to cry. I felt like a bad mom for
having Autumn wait with me and we weren’t even going inside. Turns out that each person in
line has the opportunity to receive up to 5 passes, which can quickly add up to
400. I managed to ask questions, found a loop hole and scooped up Members
passes at a low rate. WE WERE IN! Of course as we went in, we realized the
exhibit consisted of more lines, more waiting. Autumn was in awe of every
experience/project. She never complained of the time spent waiting, she knew at
the end of each line, there was going to be another amazing experience. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The Infinity Mirrors features six of Kusama's
iconic kaleidoscopic spaces. Within 20-30 seconds, you absorb and lose yourself
within the mind and legacy of the artist. </span><span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Using mirrors, Kusama transformed the intense
repetition of her earlier paintings and works on paper into a perceptual
experience.</span></span><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> </span><span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Each space has a story, a purpose. I was truly inspired and
within the first few seconds of the first Room, Phalli’s Field, looking down at
Autumn, the awe in her face, I had a feeling of euphoria. I’m glad we
experienced this together, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>the line
was worth the wait.</u></b></span></span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Somewhere between a career change, a small move, and an
unexpected surgery, our family embarked to the city of Washington D.C. Autumn
had her very first spring break this month and Re had to go to D.C. for
work/business related purposes. An opportunity for a family getaway! With
things being hectic and unexpected lately, it was nice to get away for a few
days. I was not sure I could handle it, and we almost canceled, considering I
had an appendectomy a week prior, but healing occurred faster than I expected. Walking
was not easy, but I managed, and did as much as my body allowed. It has been 3 weeks and each day I am starting to
feel more like myself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A brief summary of the unexpected surgery; it was a Thursday night, I started to feel
pain in my lower abdomen, I honestly thought it was nothing. I thought sleep
would take my mind off of the pain and I’d wake up happy and healthy. A few hours passed, the pain did not subside and sleep was out of the question. I soon started to cry in pain and finalized my decision; <i>yup, something
is wrong. </i></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I didn’t want to wake Re and Autumn; she had school in the morning. After an hour of persuading
myself this needs to happen, we left for the ER at 1 am.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I figured it would be quick, I’d get some
pain medication and then back to bed/home I would go. Tests were ran, blood was
drawn, eventually the nurse managed to spill the information before the doctor
came in. She said I was going to be </span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i><u>admitted with surgery. </u></i></b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My reaction; Ummm, excuse me?!? I am healthy, I exercise on a daily basis, this cannot be
right. For a moment I thought maybe she entered the wrong room. I had early signs of appendicitis and my appendix needed to
be removed; </span><u style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">surgery first thing in the morning.</u><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Everything happened so fast, I really had no time to think or absorb all of the information they were giving me. Surgery was quick and I was in
the hospital for a few days. It has been 3 weeks, I guess the only hard part right now is the occasional pain and not being able to run/exercise. Although I feel the appendectomy was minor, I am so grateful and appreciative of all the support I received from family, friends, and my co-workers. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i style="font-weight: bold;">Back to our trip to D.C. </i>T</span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">his was Autumn’s first trip to Washington D.C. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Autumn has become quite the mini-traveler. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We explored the National Mall, we managed to see a
few museums. Her favorite; the Hirschhorn, and the Air & Space
Museum. We had the chance to see Yayoi Kusama's Exhibition: Infinity Mirrors, which was, for me, truly memorable. I'll have a second blog for our trip to the Hirschorn, as ART has become a fourth member of our household. She was excited to ride the Metro, which was her number one choice of transportation as we toured the city. This trip, for me, was special, anticipatory more than
anything. I have not been to D.C. since 2008. I briefly lived there for school/
an internship. Re and I reminisced the city as we once explored as young loves, pre-marriage/child. I have many fond memories of D.C; a lot of self-exploration,
lifelong friendships made and the overall enjoyment of living in the moment,
but still anticipating an unknown future. </span><u style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A young, excited and naïve Adrienne.</u><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Another city shared with our Mini, more memories created.</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We were together, the three of us, having dinner in what seemed like a hotel reception room. Outside, the weather was windy, and each time the wind blew the gusts grew stronger. We would move location to location each time the wind grew in strength. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>The three of us; with them I felt safe.</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Our last location was a large auditorium; the place was filled with other’s like us trying to seek shelter. We were fed, we were warm and safe. At that moment, all I wanted was to shield <strong>her</strong> in a blanket, to lay <strong>her</strong> in my lap, as I knew she would drift into a safe sleep. So I told Re I would quickly go out to the car, grab some blankets for us and I would be right back, as the weather was still somewhat fair. He said “Okay, the car isn’t far, but please hurry up.” I ran outside, pressed the car key lock to locate the vehicle. I didn’t hear or see anything. So I ran and I searched, the wind was picking up, but I finally made it. I quickly selected a few blankets, I picked a few pink ones, her baby blankets, for a moment imagining her wrapped and snuggled safely in my lap. I ran, and decided to cut through a building to get back to them. The building was large, reminiscent of a casino. People were eating, laughing, oblivious to what was outside, as I quickly dashed by them. I made it outside of the building, I looked around and I didn’t know where I was. It was now dark, the wind was blowing extremely hard, I could feel I did not have much time left, but I decided to run any way. I ran, but I felt like I was getting nowhere, so I screamed <em>“Someone! Please help!”</em> But as I looked out, I could see and hear other people in the same position as me, screaming for help. I stood there, and in front of me was another building, maybe I could break the window, maybe if I could just move a few feet, I could hopefully survive. But my feet would not move. I kept picturing <u><strong>them</strong></u> in my head, waiting for me. <strong><u>I just wanted to be with them</u></strong>, where they were. Why did I have to go get blankets? Why did I have to leave? I would probably never see <strong><u>them </u></strong>again. I would never get to snuggle her in my lap. I would never feel her warmth wrapped in those pink blankets. I would never make her feel safe again. And so I gave up. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>They would have to be without me.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">And so, at that moment, at my very last moments, <em>I woke up.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">It was a dream. I was breathless. I was scared. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">I looked to my right, covered in a pink blanket, <strong>she</strong> was right beside me; safe and sleeping.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">I quickly got up, raced downstairs and there <strong>he</strong> was, cooking breakfast.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">I grabbed my golden throw, sat at the kitchen table and cried my eyes out.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">He stood there looking at me, concerned, listening to what I had just experienced. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">He wrapped me in his big arms, the arms that always enclose me with <strong><em>love</em></strong>, <strong><em>safety</em></strong>, and <em><strong>warmth.</strong></em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Everything was okay.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <b><u><span style="font-size: large;">I was safe, again.</span></u></b>Adrienne.Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06898258179876617532noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5025530224541130788.post-69403228312718212882017-01-21T20:00:00.000-08:002017-02-08T16:09:56.753-08:00WOMEN.<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In 2003, a mother supported a daughter's dream. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">A mother with five children put her oldest daughter on a plane to NYC and hoped the best for her young WOMAN. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">She kissed and hugged me, with endless tears in her eyes, she let me go.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I'd like to think before then, I was a young woman still under the wings of my MOTHER, but after that moment, I was a WOMAN. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I was on my own.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I had my dreams, my aspirations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I was left alone to figure things out, but as I walked through that airport, I'd look back and there she was. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I knew, in life, if I ever looked back, she would ALWAYS be there. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Since then, I've experienced womanhood in many stages of my life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I am an indigenous woman. I am an educated woman.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I am a woman who is NOT afraid to speak her mind.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I am fearless.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">And now I am raising a future STRONG WOMAN, I am the sister of a girl currently entering WOMANHOOD.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I am an ambassador to these future strong, intelligent, resilient women; Indigenous women.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I woke up this morning, laced up my running shoes; a pre game to the anticipation of a movement, I knew I had to mentally prepare myself. I knew I was going to dig deep emotionally today. Today, I wanted to run for WOMEN, I wanted to run for those who wouldn't be able to make it today. I ran for my mother, my grandmothers, my sisters, my friends. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I set aside this time to focus solely on them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">We arrived at the Woman's March on St. Louis; Re, Autumn and I. A grand total of 20,000+ women, men, children. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> I was in awe; Women has a whole, if we unite, we build bridges, we move mountains.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">#WHYIMARCH</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I MARCH because I am a configuration of my Mother.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Everything my Mother has gone through, what other woman have endured before me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">To those who have been silenced. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I MARCH because I disagree with a lot of aspects not equal for women, (because yes there are still a lot!) I disagree with the occurrences of a particular public figure downgrading and measuring women to their appearance. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Yes, there is A LOT of progress, but why stop now?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I MARCH because I will never settle, I will never ignore. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I MARCH because our daughter's, our children are watching. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But most of all, I MARCH because I can. </span><br />

ART. EXPLORATION. <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It has been almost 3 years since we moved to Illinois. When we first arrived here, we instantly fell in love with Saint Louis. Every weekend consisted of local eateries, farmer's markets, museums, everything we were deprived of when we lived in Montgomery. For me, there is something amazingly inspiring about the Arch each time we pass by, even after three years later. Saint Louis; so much to do, so much to see. Although time has passed, and our predictable schedules consist of routine, we try to still find the time to explore. At this point, we are unsure if this location will be our permanent home or perhaps a move is in our future this year. As always, a lot of unknown, unpredictable changes. Whatever happens, I am ready. I thought I would share some photos of our visit to the <a href="http://www.slam.org/">Saint Louis Art Museum</a>. As I stared at each piece, some I felt a connection, others not so much. Emotions and imagination unlock while viewing Art, viewing a moment of another's self expression. Art, the combination of feelings, the power of passion, personal vision, and creativity. We are simply viewing a moment in time, a memory, a feeling of someone or something. <u>I cannot wait to go back.</u></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Lately, there has been a change. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I still find myself hesitant with this blog, I often find myself trying to maintain a balance of what I want to share, but this is my honesty, <u><strong>this is my lately.</strong></u> By lately, I mean I've seen better days. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I've been up and down. Sometimes I'm content, sometimes I need something different, sometimes I am at my happiest, and then there are times when I am a total mess. I'm not sure if its a mixture of things, or just a down period in my life. I often find myself trying to find the answer, the root of my rollercoaster emotions, and I end up at <i><u>loss</u></i>. I aim the blame to myself, hormones, work, and my recent neglect to my health, basically, the problem is ME. I know what created this seed of my mixed up emotions, but of course I'd rather keep that aspect for me to control, analyze and of course fail and start over; a never-ending cycle. When life altering situations occur, there is and will always be a CHANGE, an uncontrollable shift. As much as we want things/life to remain the same, it doesn't and for me, lately, I've felt as though I lost something/someone. I took it pretty hard, and each day I still do. Some days, the battle is easy and other days, a battle I can't seem to win. I remind myself "each day is an attempt to start over, even if you do fail at the end of the day, at least you survived and perhaps get stronger by it." I am often fearful of my emotions, I try to keep my composure and I absolutely despise showing emotion or even crying. I'm not sure why I am that way. Someone recently said to me: <em>Adrienne, you are a person, you have every right to your feelings. Its okay to have/show your feelings.</em> I am forever grateful for this person. That one statement; simple and enlightening and something I think about everyday. By perhaps accepting my feelings instead of analyzing, I may be able to return to my normal self. I'm sorry if this post is everywhere. I figured it may help to write about whats been going on, emotions and such. I mean, everyone has emotions, some can relate. Maybe I am not the only person going through a ping pong of emotions right now. I am a quiet person and sometimes it may seem I have everything put together, but that could not be more false. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><strong><u><br /></u></strong></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><strong><u>I am not perfect.</u></strong> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Talking has been an extremely helpful relief, especially with the number one person who knows me; Re. I find that as things occur in life, I can always count on Re. I can talk to this man about anything and everything. I believe my only remedy, the absolute cure for whatever it is I am going through, I can find in Re and Autumn. How unbelievably lucky am I!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Today I found myself with a lot of time, comfort and much needed energy to focus on the things I love to do for ME. Perhaps another sign to the beginning of a restoration. I ran 6 miles. Although I haven't been on my normal running regime lately. Running always helps when I encounter difficult life situations. If you get past the typical responses to running; </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">"<em>when do I stop,</em>" "<em>this hurts</em>" "<em>why am I doing this</em>, "<em>who enjoys this</em>," </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">you will find the true beauty of running, it's <strong><em>mental meditation.</em></strong> When I run, my mind is non-existant, I never answer my phone, I get lost and no one around me exists. I think about my goals, I think about my problems, I think about trips and family. With the weather cooling down, I hope to have many therapy sessions with the pavement. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Lately, we've been trying to do more, i.e. trips, dates. Something about spontaneity to create a spark in daily routines and schedules. Since all three of us are busy with school and work during the week, its nice to have plans on the weekend. I've shared a few photos of what we've been doing lately; a trip to Nashville, a Flume concert and some planning for upcoming events I am excited about!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><strong><u>Mini Update</u></strong>: Autumn seems to be growing up at a fast rate, a rate I am not willing to keep up with. She is a kindergarten pro and enjoys going to school everyday. She has made some new friends and this past weekend proved to be a social weekend overall; she had a play date/movie night on Friday while Re and I had a concert date, Saturday she went to a birthday party and Sunday, she had her very first friend over. It was strange at first, Re and I felt neglected because we've been her only friends for the past 5 years. Lol....<strong>the audacity of her.</strong> I tell her on a daily to please stop growing up so fast; friends are being made, teeth are coming loose, words are being spelled. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Alot of changes going on, but we could not be more proud. As of right now, our decision to another Jackson addition is nonexistent.</span><br />

Eventually those feelings fade and everything works out. It has to. At the end of the day, we end up thinking "<i>well that wasn't so bad</i>."

I received encouraging words from my Mom, family and friends. I am glad I make them proud. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Along with Re, Autumn, my family and the many friends, people I've come across throughout my 31 years, this is exactly what I needed.

<b><span style="font-size: large;">WARNING: STAR WARS OVERLOAD</span></b></div>
<br />
Our little one is a bit Star Wars obsessed. I'm not sure where it came from or how it reached this far, but she loves everything Star Wars, maybe with the exception of Kylo Ren; depending on her mood, he seems to scare her.<br />
<br />
On Day 2, we made our way to Hollywood Studios. Filled with excitement and anticipation, we had a day planned with ALOT of Star Wars activities, along with a few Fast Pass selections; Sing Along with Elsa and Anna, The Great Movie Ride and a Disney JR Character dining event (lunch) at Hollywood & Vine.<br />
<br />
<b>A few things about the pictures below:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Meet & greet with Kylo Ren: he remained in character, definitely not friendly or welcoming, which is why he is standing so far away from us. I was also chased out of the meet & greet by him as I was taking pictures on our way out. He raised his hand, we got scared and ran out laughing. </li>
<li>Star Wars- The Adventure Continues, a great ride! Our scenario played out as if we were in the Millennium Falcon. I was fearful Autumn would get scared or cry, but she LOVED it. I, on the other hand, became nauseous. </li>
<li>Jedi Training - Trials of the Temple - this experience was something Autumn had been waiting for, for a very long time. She battled the Seventh Sister, and used her force on Darth Vader and Kylo Ren. This little is serious about her force, she truly believes she has the force, sometimes using it on her daddy. </li>
<li>Build your own Droid: customized by Autumn, she named him/her "JOYED the Droid." </li>
<li>I added new Mickey ears to my collection; C-3PO, now with a total of 3. </li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our fourth trip to Disney World, we celebrated Autumn's 5th Birthday. Our girl turned the BIG 5! We stayed at the Disney World Polynesian Resort, it happened by accident, but a good accident I might add. We opted for the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, but at the time of booking, there was no availability. This will mark our third Disney World resort we've stayed at. Last year we resided at the Port Orleans - Riverside, you can view our trip/photos <a href="http://adriennecolleen.blogspot.com/2015/05/autumn-is-four-years-old.html">here</a>, and in 2013 we stayed at the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. We like to stay on Disney Property due to the many conveniences and benefits. Trips to Disney World can get chaotic and tiring, especially when traveling with children, for us, the resorts have provided faster and easy access to the parks with MANY additional perks!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Disney World's Magical Express; before our trip began, DW sent luggage tags via mail. When we arrived to the Orlando Airport (MCO), all we had do was scan our Magic Bands, hop on the Magical Express bus and head to our resort, avoiding baggage claim. Upon arrival, our luggage is automatically sent to our room. The buses are large, air conditioned and quite luxurious. There are TV's to keep the children/adults entertained on the way to the resort. </span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Magic Bands. Magic Bands are genius, really, <b><i>THEY ARE</i></b>. Magic bands are your wallet, your resort room key, the master key to EVERYTHING Disney World. Anything and everything pertaining to your trip is linked into those magic bands. Magic Bands are your ticket entrance to all parks and rides, they also contain fast pass access, which if you stay in a Disney Resort, you get 60 day prior access to start making Fast Pass reservations. Magic Bands are water proof, so you can have them on you at all times. We never carried our wallets, money, ID's or debit/credit cards, we used our Magic Bands to pay for everything. Disney World will deliver your magic bands to your house about 30 days prior, via mail also. Photos taken at DW can also be linked via the My Photo Pass. </span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Monorail/Transportation: Staying at the DW resorts, transportation is always readily available, and with staying at the Polynesian resort, we had access to the Monorail from the resort, which was convenient to accessing Magic Kingdom, Epcot and other resorts close by; The Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and the Contemporary resort.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia", "times new roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Guests staying at certain Disney World resorts also have the benefit of enjoying EXTRA MAGIC hours to certain parks. </span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia", "times new roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our first day was a "chill" day, the calm before the DW chaos. We arrived before noon, had lunch, took a short nap, enjoyed the pool and later attended the Spirit of Aloha Luau Dinner Show at the Polynesian resort. We spent a total of 6 days at Disney World, so we made sure we had at least one or two relax/chill/pool days, which I would HIGHLY recommend! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Spirit of Aloha Luau Dinner Show was everything I had hoped and anticipated, if not more. I reserved a few months prior as this would be Autumn's birthday dinner. The food was amazing! Entertainment was great and interactive! We had Category 2 seats, and we were seated in front of the stage. Our original reservation was for the 5:10 dinner show, but since our luggage had not arrived, the resort changed our reservation to the 8 o'clock showing. No big deal! I thought it worked out better for the night showing; a better showcase of the fire dancers. We were educated on the various dances, languages and cultures from the different Islands. Autumn and Re were brought up to the stage and there was also a moment for couples to share a slow dance together, we took advantage. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Day 2, we made reservations for the Lilo and Stitch character breakfast in Ohana. Many of the dining experiences at Disney World are "all you care to eat," so food continues to be served until you've had enough. Along with Lilo and Stitch, Mickey and Pluto also make an appearance. Autumn really enjoyed the characters, she fell in love with Stitch. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We definitely indulged in a lot of the food/drink areas around the resort; Pineapple Lanai, Captain Cooks, Ohana, Kona Cafe, Trader Sam's Grog Grotto, and the Barefoot Pool Bar. The tropical atmosphere was serene and exotic; you definitely get the "island/tropical" feel of everything, its almost as if you are on an island. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I've shared a few photos from the Resort and Dining experiences. I will have another post soon with pictures from the Parks, characters, and of course: <b>Star Wars Mania!</b></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The New Year feelings of <u>aspiration</u> and<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> hope</i></b>
are contagious. I am not big on making New Year resolutions, I actually try to
steer clear of the whole “New Year, New Me” cliché. I strive to continue to
grow and uplift myself throughout the year; lessons are learned, travel always
a must, and fitness & health remains consistent, but something about this
year has definitely taught me a lot about <u>ME,</u> and I’ve stumbled upon the conclusion that
there are a few things I want to center my focus on. I want to first and foremost thank you for visiting my Blog and wish you an amazing 2016! <i>Thank you.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As we get older, our relationships, whether family or
friends or even co-workers , fulfill a large chunk of our time, and energy.
Many situations this year have shed light on how much effort I put into my
relationships. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I found that I tend to
give more of myself than what I will inevitably get in return. As I type this, it all
sounds very selfish, that I should enforce myself to asking this very question:
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">would
this person do the same for me?</i></b> I will seek to question, along with
test myself when it comes to not only my efforts, but the people around me. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The blame is simply aimed towards me, only I
can control what I will and will not do. I can’t dwell on the actions of
others, perhaps they are smarter for not putting forth the effort. Someone said
to me this year “You do too much.” At first I felt offended and somewhat
confused, but as those words continue to echo in my head, I’ve come realize the
accuracy in that statement. I am thankful for it. Relationships are about give and take, and sometimes we have to evaluate when we may be giving too much. Of course all of this does
not pertain to Re or Autumn; my time, energy, & every ounce of me are
always automatic for them. My balance, core; my sanity in this chaotic and busy
world, are how I would describe Re and Autumn. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I found that in order for me to remain well
balanced, ALL energy and efforts should always stay with them first. Everything
and everyone else remain second. This is something I will keep in mind as I
stride into 2016.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Fitness is a consistent entity in our life. I hope to continue our journey to becoming the best we can be. In 2015, I added weight lifting to my regiment, I am excited about what the future holds. My running has progressed and advanced. Balance is definitely the key. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="text-align: start;">Travel allows you to gain and increase perspective on life. Travel creates an opening, an exit from the small box in which we live every day. I feel travel is extremely pertinent to our growth as individuals. </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="text-align: start;">We have done our fair share of traveling this year; the year of journeys I’d like to call it. A lot has happened these past couple of months, I almost feel like I’ve opened my eyes to a lot of things going on around me, even with the people in my life; family & friends, hence the "relationships" section of this blog. I feel travel plays an important factor in my realization, along with knowledge, maturity and possibly an increase in age as well. </span> 2015 was a great year for travel. Within 365 days, we managed to travel to Thailand, China, California, Chicago, Disney World, Alabama/Florida, Tennessee/Kentucky. The bar was set and I am hoping 2016 is at least half of what this year was for us in terms of travel. We have a few places in mind; Atlanta in March, Disney World again in May and hoping for an international trip in the Fall. 2015 proved that a lot can happen within a year. </span></div>

I found myself extremely emotional these past few weeks; viewing old photos and videos of our Mini. We had an amazing time, the three of us alone on a vacation was everything we needed. I decided to share a few photos of our trip, from the resort to the many Princesses, to family posing. Here are a few photos from our trip, I say few because as always, I captured ALOT of photos! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Traveling has become an essential, a need, a non-stop desire in this life of ours. A few months ago, a thought approached me and I've been running with it; hoping and praying everything would fall into place, hoping I could pull it off. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Since we started dating at 19 years old, we've made traveling a huge part of our lifestyle. I remember our first trip; a road trip to Gainsville, Florida. Sure it was small and a few hours away, but it was my first overnight road trip with someone other than my family. It was a big deal at the time, we saved, we packed up his car and headed South to Florida to see my best friend, Dominique. I remember feeling excited, I wanted him to meet her and vice versa. I hadn't seen her since Germany. We did not have the advanced modern technology today, which I think made the trip more interesting, as I remember getting lost and entertaining ourselves with self-made cd mixes and conversations. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The very next year, we spent almost a week in Vegas, even renting a car and driving through Utah to Arizona, to my hometown. We were young, no kids, not much responsibilities except work, so there were times we planned trips on a whim. I find that if you think too much about it, you will inevitably find an excuse not to go. My advice; Purchase your ticket and just GO!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Since I could remember, my husband has had an obsession with Bali, or perhaps it was a result of watching Eat. Pray. Love, that started this whole thing. I know we declared that our next big trip wouldn't be stateside, but to aim for international. So a few months ago, an idea came to me; why not surprise my husband with a trip to Bali for his birthday. The BIG 30 is coming up for the both of us, scary, mostly for me, and not so much for him. How amazing would it be to turn 30 in paradise? So I began planning and started to notice that I may need to let him know as some things made it harder to keep the secret; passports and his job, to name a few. So one night, I spilled the surprise, I informed him of my plan. We talked and planned and planned some more, eventually the trip turned into Bali and Thailand, ultimately we started to notice we may need more time, so Bali dropped and Thailand consumed our trip. We have always had an interest in Thai culture and food. The trip will consist of everything from food, history, architectural in Bangkok to relaxing in Phuket, and a visit to Ko Phi Phi (Google it!). We have exactly 2 months and I am feeling everything from excitement to nervous to scared. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There was hesitation about leaving Autumn. Two weeks is a very long time, but with the help and comfort of family, it is a little bit easier. There have been a lot of talks with my mom, some I'm in tears, but as my mom, she has comforted and convinced me that this trip is meant for Re and I. We do need some alone time and if we can take a trip like this; we should take advantage of it. Autumn will be fine spending spring break with my siblings/nephew. As young as she is, she will not remember a thing. Trust me, being away from her is still an extremely hard thought to grasp. Feeling guilty, a trip to DisneyWorld for her birthday in May will definitely make up for it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So after a couple months of planning, there were a few moments I did not think it would happen, but everything is purchased, there is no turning back. No more excuses, no talking our way out of it. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I feel like I’ve been waiting, anxiously anticipating the
construction of this blog entry for some time now. I really had no idea what I
would be writing. I didn't know what the outcome would be, except that a chapter in my life has been completed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I graduated this week; I earned my Master’s degree in
Business Administration. I can officially say that now. Goodbye to uncertainty,
hope and keeping my fingers tightly crossed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This has been a long journey, definitely not easy, and one
of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I can fully say I <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>EARNED</u></b> this achievement. I put
my everything, my all, into this. How I’ve described this journey; my blood, sweat
and tears went into this, pretty much sums up what I’ve been going through
these past few years, especially this year. This has been an up and down
battle, at times it seemed impossible. I could not have finished without the
support from my parents, family and the most important person, my husband. My
husband, the person who made things so much easier for me, who made me laugh
when I needed it, who believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself, especially when I
didn’t believe it could happen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I believe this has been my dream since I was in high school;
I wanted a Master’s degree. Specifically by the age of 25 was my originally
goal, but life happened, and as I got older, I started to see things do not
always go as planned or how we expect them to go. From the beginning, I wanted
to set an example for my family. I wanted to be the first in my entire family
to earn a prestigious accomplishment, and I did. One of the most important
aspects I’ve kept along the way was my foundation; I grew up from a small town;
I’ve come a long way from a scrappy Rez kid. I am thankful for where and how I
grew up, my background, and my culture. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In the beginning I started strong, ready to knock this
accomplishment off my list. Soon, life happened and school became lost in my core priorities;
wife and mother duties. I became pregnant with Autumn the same year I started
graduate school. I think one of the hardest parts of this journey was juggling
school with my full-time duties as a wife, mommy, and employee. How could I
fully devote myself to each and every one of these priorities? I couldn’t. I
often neglected my roles and priorities for school. I cried often because I felt
that I wasn’t a good mom or an attentive wife. Work took up majority of my life
during the day, and evening hours were spent between Autumn and Re, mostly
Autumn until it was bed time. I savored every moment with her, from crafts and
projects to reading, to Lego building, I dreaded putting her to sleep because
soon after I missed her so much. I dreaded those moments when I would say: "Baby, Mommy has to do homework." My nights were spent red-eyed, in a book,
longing to be someone who could have the chance to sleep before 9:00 pm.
Sometimes I wondered why I put myself through it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i><br /></i></b></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i>Why?</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There are many reasons why I put myself through it. When I
had this vision, this mission, this goal, it was only me. A young girl with a
goal. The only thing that has remained constant, the only thing that has been
just for me, is this goal. I put so much of myself to my family; this goal has
kept the importance of individuality for me. I wanted more for myself, for my
family. I never wanted someone else’s success when I could achieve something
for myself. Failure was never an option for me, I was willing to accept the sacrifices. I’m not a person to waste time, I always
feel like I could be doing something, which is why I always have a goal,
something to work towards. If I have my mind set on something I want to do, I
will do it. It’s so easy to say “I am going to do this,” but to actually follow
through is the real challenge. We only live once, why not make it the best
life, why not achieve something or leave a lasting legacy or imprint. Why not
make life more valuable?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As this chapter closes, where do I go from here? I’ve been
in school my whole life. I love learning, I love reading. I feel a sense of
relief but in constant shock as I realize, what am I going to do with my time?
I have time to watch TV, which I rarely did. I have time to read books I’ve
been wanting to read instead of reading a textbook, as I often felt the guilt
of reading something other than school books because I felt that was more
important. I have time for running! Overall, my time and possibilities are
endless; a strange feeling but more so liberating. There are countless
opportunities waiting; a pay raise and perhaps more traveling. I cannot wait to
see what the future has in store. I've accomplished so much before age 30, and I am really proud of myself. Eventually I will continue my education
again, a Doctorate, but for now, I can relax, I can breathe. I’ve even started
a new goal, to complete a Marathon before my 30<sup>th</sup> birthday, which I
am excited to get started on. I am happy, blissful, over the moon, and very much happy. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I feel<i><b> FREE. I am free!</b></i></span><o:p></o:p></div>
