My heart belongs to my husband, but Edward Cullen can have my neck!

Links...



here and here are links to some discussions I have engaged in on the subject of the Twilight series. I also realize that I am not just ga ga over Edward, but I really like Bella. Her simpleness is beautiful to me.

I am glad she met Edward. I know that though she has had so little guidance when it comes to many things in life, Edward is one who can gently teach her. He is a man of morals. I love Edward's family. I especially like Dr. Cullen and Alice. I feel that if they were real people, I would natuarally be drawn to both of them. :o)

Living in the North West, I hope to convince my husband to let us plan a family trip to Forks and LaPush. There is a lady in my new ward that has made a trip there and has pictures on a blog, but I have not found her blog, yet. I love the climate here and it is very similar to what is described in the books. If I can get up there, I plan to take pictures and post them here.

The picture here doesn't do justice to the beauty that I see here everyday. This is one of the rivers that I cross to go to work everyday. The trees are so dense everywhere here. It is amazing!

Some of my views and feelings expressed are due to having dealt with some very challenging relationships lately. Namely, having had 2 foster daughters for the past 3 years and having loved them and wanting so badly to make a positive difference in their lives.

After realizing that I have done all that I can do and admitting that it is time to "let them go", there is a measure of hurt and bitterness that I am working through. I need time to heal and to figure out how to deal with the feelings and emotions that I am left with.

Some of my posts are not going to be very uplifting and some will be down right uncomfortable to read. I recognize how difficult it is to be a part of peoples lives who struggle with depression. It is exhausting and not something that "refills ones cup."

My intentions in blogging are not to bring anyone down or suck them into my, sometimes depressing thoughts. I am not looking for a pity party or for people to suck dry.

For this new chapter in my life, I need to work on me and my family and strengthening who we are as individuals and a family unit. And most importantly, building our relationship with our Heavenly Father. I want to be a better person.

I hope that by being able to reflect on my feelings in blogging, I can heal and maybe somehow help someone else who has been through similar challenges/experiences to move forward and overcome their trials. I also recognize that in this, there may be others who have had experiences that can be shared with me to give me hope and encouragement. - I welcome your comments either way.

If you have not read any or some of the Twilight series books and have a desire to and don't want to spoil anything, you might want to use caution in reading some of my posts that look like they are related to my feelings on the books.

I don't intend to spoil any of that reading experience for anyone. It has been a wonderful fantasy world and escape for me - a HUGE blessing for me to be able to think on these fictional people so that I could function "through the motions" of my life.


FYI!

Squirty Wart is a nick name my father gave me when I was little. I always hated it. In looking to protect myself and family from online preditors, it has become a very convenient name for me to use and it has actually grown on me. ;)
