Life or something like it...

I feel this is more like a journal, well it is similar to, when I don't in it for a very long time and my first line is "sorry, I haven't written in a while."

Well, sorry I haven't written in a while.  I first want to start off by stating that I have been blog writing but on my business one... http://alimages.wordpress.com/  Check it out! Seriously.

I wanted to write a blog because I am overwhelmed with life right now. Not a bad overwhelmed. But a good one. I don't necessarily want to gloat or be boisterious, not at all, but, you know when you are happy you just want the whole world to know how happy you are? Yeah, it is like that. I hope that my happiness is infectious and others will see how amazing their life is as well and want to send praises and excitement out into the universe so that the goodness will reign down on all the earth so love and peace can be dominate in this crazy world... and breathe...

...point is, I know some of you used to keep up with me reading my blog and so if you are wondering (in no particular order of importance after number 1):

Happiness #1: My daughter. She is growing like a weed! I am so grateful for her. I am amazed how smart she is. Infact, was told by professionals that she indeed is smart. Yay. Well it doesn't take a professional to know the intelligence of my kid. I think most kids are super smart anyways but there is something amazing about my daughter. She outsmarts me from time to time. I love teaching her words, especially when she says "zebra" and it comes out as "Sara" or teaching her "Heather" sounds like "Hebu".

Happiness #2: My career. Okay, this could actually be better but it is getting there. However, I am doing so many awesome graphic design projects right now and other photography projects... and I have some ideas brewing. I have also decided that while living practically rent free I am going to write up a business plan to help get grants and things. I love the idea of being a boss and running a company so why not do it right now?

Happiness #3: My spirituality.  Okay, so, I know I have talked about my spiritual growth in the past and little about my religion but not sure I have ever expressed that yes, I believe in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, and yes, my beliefs are of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints or as it said "I am Mormon." And the more I am digging deeper and deeper into the more I believe. More specifically today was amazing and I feel that God is listening and that he is definitely mindful of me and my needs. I have a calling working with the young women and I hope I can do it well.

Happiness #4: A Love Interest.  Not going into much detail, as it is still developing, I will say that there is someone that I am involved with. In short, is wow. Have you ever met someone and you were like "there you are." There is a peace, a familiarity, well, lets just say that he definitely has my attention. It was weird how we met and came to even be. It will hopefully be a story I will tell later on. But for now I am excited to see where this one goes and a little, a lot, hopeful that it will be rest of my life one. But, I am not going to jinx it! Most importantly, I am going to take every moment I can with it.

Sure, there are things I am missing, like my friends. I miss my friends that are far away but they are all still so amazing. I have friends close to where I am but still hard to see them. I do miss Kitsap County. Being so close to the shopping needs but still be among trees. But, all in all I feel like my life seriously has gotten significantly better since I have dedicated myself to my daughter, my faith, my spirituality and being positive on life.

I hope your life is just as blessed as mine because, well, I love all of you!

Relationship Lengths: The Logic of Three

This post stems from a fun conversation I had the other night and my logical, or illogical, break down of the amount of time of stages in a relationship. I call it Logic of Three.

Three Day Stage. It takes three days of solid communication to get to know someone to make you realize that you want to see or talk to them frequently. It can start with a first date but sometimes it ends with the first date. With our abilities to communicate in so many ways it is either via texting or long telephone conversations. As time progresses and dates more frequent during this three week period it then leads to the next stage, Three Week Stage.

Three Week Stage. After three weeks you pretty much know if you are heading into the next stage or that it is time to just remain friends. This is what the new kids are calling "Determine the Relationship" or a DTR discussion. This is what makes the next stage happen. If you determine that you actually want to be serious it usually happens after three weeks of solid communication and dating. This DTR discussion can take one night to up to a week to establish. If it is a nae, then that sucks but usually the friendship has been saved. If it is a yea, then onto the next, Three Month Stage.

Three Month Stage. This starts after the DTR is established. During the three month stage a lot of the making an impression attitude wears off and real life seeps in a little bit more. At the end of three months it is usually the point where you know if the relationship is doomed or has a potential. Sometimes you hold on a month or two longer to see if you are just scared or really feeling the end. But if the relationship does end you pretty much can pin point it to the three month mark that things started to change or manifest itself to doom-hood. Sometime you can remain friends but usually at this point if there is a break-up the friendship is over too.

Now, there are exceptions to the rule. Also, it doesn't have to be consecutive but it makes it that much more successful if it is. There is part of the logic that comes at three years too. But, that is more in depth and complicated and I can't reveal all in case I decide to write a book about this. But, that was a brief description about my Logic of Three in a relationship. 

You have to admit it is pretty accurate and logical. I have had, and have witnessed, many relationships to come to this logical conclusion.
