Putting one foot in front of the other.

Today has been a really rough day. Really rough. Sometimes I feel like I am in a daze. I am so thankful to have beautiful friends in my life that know when I need them and also know when I just need to be on my own. That kind of intuition is not a gift most people are given.

Tonight I am also grateful for my number 1 companion, Monster. I think without him I would be totally lost. I finally turned the heat on (barely), and I am still freezing my tail off, but we are snugged up together on the couch and that makes tonight bearable.

I still can't believe he was ever that tiny.

That's all for now. Off to find out which feeling will win out tonight, cold or hunger. My money (if I had any to spare) is on hunger.

My days here are numbered.

Two months since I have posted and I feel like my life has changed so much. I think that is something I need to get use to, change. Over the past couple weeks I have really been trying to decide what I want right now. I wish I could be one of those people that just picks up and goes and worries about where they are going and what they are going to do once they get there, but that is definitely not me. I am a planner. I literally love plans. If I could I would marry them (just kidding, kind of :)). So here is the newest plan. Move to London. To tell you the truth I would be happy just to move anywhere out of this country. I chose London because there are so many amazing places that are more accessible from there. A weekend trip to Rome? Yes, please. A train ride to Scotland? Twist my arm. But as I said, I am not a get up and go kind of girl. I am a checklist lady. So here it is. My London Checklist. Check

back because over time I am sure things will be completed and things will be added.

Things to do before London:

Finish my Bachelor’s Degree (for obvious reasons)

Pay off the 4Runner (again obvi)

Save $5,000 (London is NOT cheap)

Learn to use every function on my sewing machine

Learn to crochet and knit

Learn the basics of a foreign language (French, Spanish, or Portuguese) (Rosetta Stone, anyone?)

Get a Yellow Rose of Texas tattoo. ( I love Texas. This is my home and I want to remember that, no matter where I go.)

Learn how to bartend (I want to work in a Pub)

That's it for now.

What else have a been doing the past two months? Let's see...

Another precious baby girl came into my life, Abby Kate Hyman.

I am so proud of my YayaNina. She is such a great mother and friend. I love watching this little family grow and I am so excited about their future.

Mom, Amanda and Piper came to see me. I love this little chubbins.

We made Halloween Puppykins! Monster on the left and

Oli (unfinished) on the right

I was Kelly Kapowski For Halloween.

And Billy the 4Runner kicked the bucket. It was a very sad day in the Kilgore household but we all knew it was coming sooner or later. The good news is that I bought a new and improved (still nameless) 4Runner!

Welp, that's all I've got for now. Bigger and brighter things to come, stay tuned.
