I Just Haven't Met You Yet

So I meant to write this yesterday but as always life just got in the way.  As you all know yesterday was Valentine's Day, a day which I dread every single year.  This year I really tried to be good and not dwell on the fact that I am alone for another year and how jealous I was of all the couples celebrating...and I did better then I expected.

And then a song came on my iTunes and it reminded me of my "anthem" (Glee reference from tonight's episode...forgive me).  The song is "Haven't Met You Yet" by Michael Buble and it is amazing in every way imaginable.  As long as I can believe that he is out there somewhere and that one day (hopefully sooner rather than later) we fill find each other I will be okay.  For the first time in a long time I didn't spend the day completely miserable..maybe that's a sign of things to come.  They do say after all that you find love when you aren't trying to find it...so that's what I'm trying to do.

In honor of this life changing song I leave you with these lyrics....

I might have to wait, I'll never give up
I guess it's half timing, and the other half's luck
Wherever you are, whenever it's right
You'll come out of nowhere and into my life

And I know that we can be so amazing
And, baby, your love is gonna change me
And now I can see every possibility

And somehow I know that it'll all turn out
You'll make me work, so we can work to work it out
And I promise you, kid, I give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet

Me & Football....Who Would Have Thought?

Football is something that I hated 5 years ago...I thought it was pointless and didn't understand or get the appeal of it at all.  But slowly something changed and over the last couple years it has become increasingly evident that I have caught the football bug.  If you had told me all those years ago that I would be watching every game my team played (including those not televised), reading articles, keeping up with stats, and wearing a jersey after a big win I probably would have told you that you needed to be committed.  All those things are a reality now though and when I really think about it, it baffles me in some respects.  If someone had told me that I would be this invested mentally and emotionally in the New England Patriots I would not have believed them....but I am.  They are my boys and I love them as weird as that may sound.

My evolution into a NE Patriots fanatic has led me to a more introspective observation...one that goes beyond sports and touches on change and who I am and who I have become.  I am not even close to the person I was this time 4 or 5 years ago...and I am so thankful for that.  I didn't like the person I was and I didn't like how I felt all the time.  Now I'm not saying that I'm completely happy with who I am now but I am a lot closer to being the person I want to be.  Change can be good sometimes and for me the last 5 years, good and bad, have made me someone I can be proud of.  There will always be things that I don't like or wish I could change but I am no longer that high school girl who felt like no matter what she did or said she wouldn't fit in.  I know who I am and I know where I want to go...that is something to be happy about.

Who would have thought that football could lead to something so philosophical?

Hello Blog World!

Hey everybody!

I decided to create this because I promised myself that I would try to record memories, thoughts, and events more in 2011 and this seems like a good way to do that!  This is just going to be a blog chronicling events in my life....all the love, laughs, and life that I experience.  I can promise you that it will be very random with probably very little theme to it....but isn't that half the fun??  I hope you will join me on this adventure!

See you soon!
