What's your favorite city?

In Utah, I think my favorite city has been Murray/Midvale area.

Ask me anything

What's your favorite drink?

It's hard to choose just one. I really enjoy water, Dr. Pepper, or Pepsi would be my top three.

What is Gonna Happen in the New Year - 2010

Okay, so I know I am a little on the late side of the whole New Year’s thing, but better late than never.

Happy New Year Everyone!!

So, I would like to share with all of you what I would like to work on this year. I don’t want to call it my New Year’s Resolutions because we all know how those turn out. And I am not going to call them goals because those turn out the same way. I am terrible I know.

So to begin with, I would like to really try harder to blog more. I really enjoy this type of thing. It is an excellent way to express things, say what’s on your mind to no one in particular, and to let people know what is going on in my world. I will do my best to post something more than once every million years. =)

Next I am going to work on drinking more water. I do not drink nearly enough water a person should. It’s not even that I substitute with soda or something else, I just don’t drink it. I will do better! Also, I am going to try and eat out less. I need to plan better and not take the easy and convenient way out. Not only will this save me money, but it will also be healthier. Which leads into my next item, just like everyone else in the world, I would like to get into shape. Yes, round is a shape, but I’m a little too round for my comfort. We all know this isn’t going to happen, but I will in fact give it a try. At the very least I would like to be more active. Anyone willing to motivate and accompany on this journey would be greatly appreciated.

Last, but certainly not least, I need to budget money better. I was on the right track for a while, then we moved and one problem after another got me upside down again. I am going to get my poop in a group for good! I have a plan and a system that will work, I know it will. I just need time and to actually stick to it no matter what. I really believe I can do. If nothing else happens this year other than this one I will be happy.

So with all that being said, if anyone has any ideas on how to help me achieve these ideas, please feel free to share. I would greatly appreciate more than you will ever know.

That is all for now. You will be hearing from me soon, I promise!

Katrina's Thoughts on Love

Love........the word is so strong. How does one know what it means? I have found that he is all I think about. Does that mean I am really in loved or am I just settling for what I think is all I can get. Where do you find the line? How do you really know what is what? Do you follow what you heart says or what your mind says? There are so many answers needed, but where do the answers come from? I love him, I have to love him....why else would I be where I am and doing what I do. Why does love have to be so complicated? Why does he love me? Does he really love me? He would have to because I am here.

Small bits of doubt and the ones that eat away at what could be a wonderful and amazing relationship. But, no matter how hard you try you can't keep those thoughts from running through your mind. I have been here before, I have had these feelings before. One time the thoughts became a reality. He didn't want me. He jumped into it and then got scared, opened his eyes and looked for fun other places. The next time, it was pity I think. He was a good guy. I was blind and thought this has to be as good as I can get, but I was miserable. He didn't make me happy. Then the last one.....wow he was something. He did everything right. He was everything I had ever wanted. He had to the ONE, my dream guy. There were a few flaws, but we would get through them. He was married, my defence he was separated long before we got involved. In the beginning I told myself how stupid I was for getting involved. I knew he would break my heart and rip me apart. But I didn't listen. I convinced myself it would end different. He loved me! He had to love me or why else would he go through all he did just to be with me? Well, that answer I don't have, but what I do know is I was right from the beginning. The time we share was beyond amazing. But soon enough it ended. He said, "I want to go home." And that was that. I was shattered and humiliated. I felt so stupid for not listening to what I had been telling myself all along. I like to justify it as he taught me how a man should treat a woman. He showed me happiness and love. I showed him whatever he needed to see that he should go home, be with his kids and make his family work.

So here I am today. What I am doing? I was watching a movie and heard a quote, "Don't listen to how your heart feels, listen to what it's saying." So, that leaves me with is my heart telling me that I am happy and this is where I should be? Or is it feeling twitterpaited? I go through these struggles constantly. How do I know what is really what? How does anyone know?

I love him. I know I do. I know he loves to me. I can feel it. I feel it when he looks at me, when he tells me how beautiful I am when I just rolled out of bed after a long night, when he thanks me for doing the laundry or making him dinner. When I look into his eyes I can see into his mind, heart, and soul, they tell me I love you.

What happens from here? Well, I have no idea. Right now I am happy and will continue to be happy. I am a strong woman that can overcome any obstacle. But I am only human and can only take it one at a time. One day at a time. Whatever happens will happen whether I let it or not. I will just have to cross that bridge when I get to it. Life happens with or without you. It's your choice what you do with it and what you take of it.

Someday everything will all make sense. So for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, and remind yourself that everything happens for a reason.

The Begining

Well, I am new to all this blogging, but it's the newest rage, so I thought I would check it out. If anyone has and suggestions please feel free to help me out. Again, I am new at all of this. =-)

Well, shall we start with a little background on me. I am 23 years old, my birthday is March 12th. I live in South Salt Lake City, Utah with my boyfriend, Travis, and our two dogs, Buddy and Rascal. We just moved here about a month and a half ago. This is the first time either of us live with our significant other. Everyone asks me how it's going and honestly, I couldn't be happier. Travis is an amazing guy who loves me. As for our dogs, Buddy is a 5 year old pitbull terrier. He is the biggeest sissy you will ever meet. He loves to cuddle and destroy his toys. Rascal is a 5 year old toy poodle. He loves to bark at Buddy and attempt to play with him. He is deffinately MY dog. Travis tells me he is a totally different dog when I am not around.

I am currently working at the UPS CSC (Customer Service Center aka Phone Center) in West Valley. I am a Site Quality Admin. My job consists of running quality reports, assisting the supervisors with reviewing errors with their agents in a timely manner, and creating and posting communications on out interal website. I absolutely LOVE my job. I love doing what I do. I have learned so much about computers, software, and webpages that I never knew before. Everyday I learn something new. I used to hate going to work because of my supervisor. We had a difficult time seeing eye to eye and things, but I just found out that he is going on special assignment and I no longer have to deal with him. Talk about a sigh of relief.

Hmmmm.....what else about me......I like to read, watch movies, watch tv. I don't know I am pretty boring. Feel free to ask anything about me, I am pretty much an open book. =-)

Well, that is all for now. Expect to hear from me soon!
