One Year Mark.....

Today marks one year to the new Sara Life.

It's been an interesting year full of struggles, new memories, changes, finding happiness, falling in love again, and celebrating finding out who I am and what I want in life.

Since Thanksgiving is coming up, I thought I would post the things that I am thankful for the past year.....

1. God is good and he has been with me all through out the struggles of the world.

2. I have an awesome family, that has been there for me no matter what. They have listened to me repeat feelings over and over again. They have let me be sad, cry, sob,smile. I wouldn't be where I am today without such a strong support group.

3. I've found true friends that have been there every step of the way.

4. I've moved out on my own. Big step for me. It was tough at first but I made it.

5. I've found a great guy. LOL...and I know he's reading this at some point so I will try not to be too crazy. But he's a great guy and yeah....I am pretty sure I love him. He's put up with me....cooked for me......complimented me......paid for me.....he talks....taught me things....but most importantly he's helped me find out who I am...

6. I've become stronger. I am a stronger person. I do not put up with crap.

7. I actually smile.

8. I am blessed.

9. I've learned a lot about life and about me. For instance.....I am now super sassy, I actually like games, I hate mornings, I like things organized, I am a nice, beautiful person. I enjoy every moment of life I have.

I wanted to take a minute to THANK all of you who have been there for me, guiding me, loving me, and praying for me. I would not be where I am without you. Please say a little prayer for me today.....Even though I am extremely thankful and extremely blessed, and extremely happy....there are parts of today that also make it a little bitter-sweet.

So here's to me. (LOL) Let's celebrate the birthday of my new life.

Love you all!!

What's on Sassy Sara's mind tonight?

Life seems to be so busy these days.

I went yesterday to re-take my math part of the Compass test. In order to get into Davenport University you have to pass a Compass test if your ACT scores are too low. Well my ACT score was 1 point lower from what it would have taken me to get accepted. You get two attempts to pass the Compass test.

The first time, I passed the reading and writing with flying colors. Piece of cake for me. The math part, not so good. I got a 28 and I needed to get a 30. I was a little discouraged but I decided that I should take it again. Now I should remind you that I have never ever taken Algebra in my life....in high school I was stuck in the General or Business math classes. Nothing to do with Algebra. So Tom and I looked over some of the questions on the worksheet and he did what he could to help explain things to me. I've never really been the quick learner....and to be honest....I didn't really know what the heck he was saying to me....but I tried.

The second time, I went back to take the Math part. I was nervous....I didn't know anything about it. The outcome was not so good. I got the same exact score as last time, 28. I was disappointed, saddened, and felt like a failure. The lady was kind of a snot about it when she handed me the results. "Yeah, you really need to know the basics of Algebra in order to get in here. You will have to go to GRCC and take a math class to get accepted here."

Now I sit here and think about it and I am hurt, I am sad. I was so excited about going to school, I thought I was making the right decision. But now....I am not so sure. I am thinking obviously I am thinking negatively....but regardless.....I need to spend a whole semester taking a stupid Algebra class....and to myself I am thinking....when in my career am I going to use it....I haven't used it in the 6 years I have been at Borisch....

I don't know what to do......I have all these thoughts going on in my head and the one that keeps coming back was....when I was a senior in high school and they told me that I wasn't good enough for college ,that I would never make it, or to not even bother trying...and I for some crazy listened to them. I let that affect me....then I give it a try and this is what happens....

So bloggers.....I write this because.....I am discouraged.....and well I just needed to vent....what's next....what do I do? All I can do right now is pray for guidance to figure out it out.....

I am still alive....

As for the rest of my family, I am not sure. We seem to all be slacking on updating our blogs on a regular basis.....

So this is to say, I am still alive. I've been sick.....I am tired......and work is insanly busy.....matter fact I could use a nice vacation..... We still have lots of openings. So if you know anyone looking for a job, let me know and I can get you a copy of our most current postings.

And this is in case you forgot what I looked like.

(this is me and Tom's sister Christina and sister-in-law Tonya)

Yeah. I was tagged.....

So I was tagged by my sister-in-law Michelle. (Thanks a million)

Here are the rules that I must post first.

The rules.
1. You have to post these rules before you give the facts.
2. You must list one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of your middle name. If you don’t have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had.3. At the end of your blog post, you need to choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag. Don’t forget to leave a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog for the rules.

And my middle name, like Michelle's is Lynn without the "E".....

L = Extremely Loyal

Y = Year of Learning........Changes.........It's almost a year that my whole life changed (Oct 26) It definately changed for the better and a lot of lessons were learned and I am doing well....God is good.

N = Neater....... I like things organized and put in it's place these days, in previous times, I could have cared less......

N = Not good at this. I am so not good at these types of things. Doesn't help my middle name is a difficult one

So I get to tagged 4 people.....I pick One Day at a Time, The Church Lady, Ahora, and Me and my Boys......So have fun :)

Tag, I'm It, I forgot

more details to come.

I thank Michelle for tagging me.
