ha ha,

wow. I completely forgot about XANGA. I remember when I was a xanga addict... oooooo poor little xanga- "did facebook and myspace kick ur poor little butt out of social networking?? :( " haha

nehow: around this time LAST year... I was getting ready for summer time (refer to last post). And NOW... here I am again- 6 weeks officially until summer break- and still, I cannot believe how much has changed!?

SO much has happened... surely too much to share right now (esp because its 2 am and I have class in the morning). Let's just say: its been a hell of a year..... but I DO want to recall some of the main events...eh- why not?

1. Met Shay.
2. Spent the summer with Shay.
3. Fell in love with Shay.
4. Moved to CA
5. Started school again
6. Moved back to CO in Dec (CA not my cup of tea)
7. Transferred to CSU (love CSU)
8. Broke up with Shay
9. The single life: difficult staring over.
10. Developed 2 close friendships over time : Brooke and Jenny (wow).
11. Summer time again! Im running a 1/2 in may.... THIS ladies and gentlemen IS a miracle in & of itself :)

So much heartache and tears well up when I think of the last year. And still, I cannot help but to think: somehow... and no matter what: God is working.

here's to another year...CHEERS!

It's been awhile.

life has been bizarre.

random stressful crazy ultimatly just life

I can't sleep tonight

my throat hurts and I think I'm getting sick again...((its been snowing on and off here)) gotta love Colorado and it's RANDOM weather. :)

Also....so much happening-all my roomates are gone for spring break...that leaves me alone with Toss...(my friends dog that makes me feel safer...), Im working two jobs to save $$ for a car and next fall in school- my jeep finally retired on me and thankfully I am working enough to be able to afford a good small reliable cute car soon. Meanwhile..I'm quickly discovering the bus is a good thing . Also,  I just found out one of my best friend's is pregnant today...still taking that in---and pondering the reality of that. Shawn Hopwood gets married in a little over 2 weeks....wishing I could go....Tyler Tritipo gets married in June...Breanna Regimbal sooner (in may)....and than finally...Daniel Holt in September for all of you that don't know...

yikes...so many things. How does one keep up honestly? :(

And well...I turn 22 April 2nd...

that means ANOTHER year of adventure coming up :)

Also, I have recently made an exciting altering life decision....I'm moving to California early August to live life with miss Maria Cervantez. It's been something we've always talked about....it's just always been such bad timing and my #1 goal thus far has been to be close to my family. But...finally..the time has come....to live with one of my favorite people in the entire world!!! It's been entirely exhilirating just because my plans all along have been to stay here in fort collins and start school in the fall--and wow...its amazing to see how quickly plans can  change.? It's such an un-normal thing to be a christian...you find yourself doing things you never imagined...yet somehow-all of it is so good whether you see it at one time or not---in the end...its just good. God is so faithful...even when I feel like i'm failing so much.

Prayerfully....everything works out good.

Meanwhile...I need to sleep because my throat ain't getting any better...and I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow .......I'm glad I got to pour some thoughts out tonight.

life is full of suprises....

 

"In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps."

Hello World......

I think the purpose of this post is mainly to loosen some thoughts and help me walk with a little less wieght on my shoulders when it comes to the following:

1. I need $$$

dont we all! :)

2. I need friends

isnt that true

3. I need a renewed Heart

Jesus help me!

So if you read this.....you probably though..."hey I wonder what Vanessa is up to these days?"

Well here it is.....

the top things on MY MIND..that YOU can pray for me about.

 

and really...in a more optimistic palmy way ....of course im fabulous...just trying to live life...and enjoy every minute of it.
