Well, just like the way I start almost every blog post, I'm sorry its been so long since I've written on this. Since my last post, many things have happened and I am excited about all of them. I turned 30 in October, I went to Houston for almost 2 weeks from the last week of October through the first week of November, and when I got back from Houston I started my own lawn and landscaping business.
Turning 30 was pretty cool. I don't normally make a big deal out of my birthday, so it wasn't too crazy. It was just nice being around some friends and family. It was refreshing how accepting I was of turning 30.
My time in Houston was a lot of fun. I actually drove from Clovis, CA to Houston, TX in 34 hours. I went for my best friend Alisha's wedding to, her now husband, Patrick. I hadn't seen them since I left Houston back in May. It was so crazy how it felt like I had never left. As much as I loath Houston traffic, I welcomed it as I entered the city limits. I left for California the morning after the wedding while Alisha and Patrick were on the way to Jamaica for their honeymoon. It was so nice to see them and all of their families again. I miss you all. But it was time to go. On the way back to Clovis, I cut my drive time by 4 hours. It only took me 30 hours to get back. I didn't speed at all, I just cut my sleep time from 6 hours on the way out to Texas to 2 hours on the way back from Texas. It's amazing how much rest you can get in 2 hours when sleeping in your car at a rest area in Phoenix. As much as I was sad to leave Houston again, I was happy to be back in California.
Starting my own business has been extremely exciting. It's a lawn and landscaping service. Everyone around me has been so supportive and helpful from giving me paper for my flyers to helping me fold those flyers to donating new and old gardening tools to me to help me get started and make sure I have everything I need. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped, supported, and prayed for me. I couldn't have started this without you guys. I'm looking forward to a successful year for Deanie's Lawn & Landscaping Service in 2012.
But the most important thing that has happened to me is that I have rekindled my faith in Christ. I didn't ever not have faith, but I haven't been living like I have faith. So, I made a choice to start making right decisions. That means everything from the way I talk to the actions I make to things I put in my body. It's time for me start living right according to my faith. Not for anyone else but myself and God.
I'm really excited about this new leaf I'm turning over. For too long, I've been leaving God out of major decisions in my life. I'm tired of walking against God and ready to start walking with him.
Thank you to everyone for all the support you've given and all the support I know you'll give in the future. I love you all. Happy New Year!
Until next time...
