Me and my love jammin' out. Our little jam <3 Jordan and Katie Summers

The Way it IS..

Blogging.
This is something I've tried so hard to stay away from. Its so popular these days. I feel like it has a stigma..thanks PEREZ! But hey I gave into the peer pressure and now have both a Myspace, a Facebook AND a BLOG! How's that for individuality? =)

I'm not 100% sure where to start. SO I think a quick over view of where I'm at lately will just have to do for blog Numero Uno!

So for those of you who I haven't talked to in a while...

I graduated from the the High School chapter of my life in July of 2008. After doing a few restaurant and coffee gigs by the grace of God I landed a job at HAPO Community Credit Union as a Contact Center Representative. I never saw myself working in the Financial Industry, but I found myself LOVING it. And I'm still there today.
A year after graduation on July 4, 2009 I married my best friend and High School sweetheart Jordan Summers. We faced a lot of hardships and doubts along the way..but we knew that we were meant to be together.. and we didn't feel like waiting. Best decision to date. =)

Marriage has turned out to be one crazy ride. But my advice to to everyone IN a marriage is if you decided that you love someone to commit your ENTIRE LIFE to them, then its worth the world to save. You are each others life jacket in this crazy world, so cling tight to each other. Communication is KEY.

LATELY...
I feel like I used to sit back every day while the world crumbled around me. From the starving people everywhere, the mourning families in Haiti, the welfare families, the homeless animals, to the packed out nursing homes that lack visitors.
I feel like we have turned ourselves off to the need of the world. We see it cry out and we turn our back on it.
After years of ignorance I opened my eyes. I feel like we only have so long here, and the need of the world is SO great that we CAN NOT make a difference unless we decide to do it ourselves! Take the sympathy and turn it into action!

Sacrifice your coffee once a week and sponsor a kid with no water! Take a day and walk an animal that is on Death Row at the Shelter. Better yet, give that animal a second chance at life and adopt it!
Stop judging the man on the side of the road that is asking for assistance, pull over and give the man 5 dollars. And if you can't afford it, how about a smile..?
Take a minute and let your Grandmother know she is beautiful and very important to the entire family. Let your Dad know that you love him and that he did a GOOD job.

Go to work with the "I can help someone" today attitude. I know I sound like a book but it is so TRUE!
We give and take in this world! Don't expect to get anything from this life if you can't give a little!

And last but not least,

eat healthy and get enough sleep!

If you took enough time to read this entire thing, kudos to you!

SIGNING OFF!

Until Next Time,
