I'm so wrong for this...

I don't usually feel this way...I'm a women so I can vent and be crazy once in awhile....right?? Anyway.

Have you ever wanted something??

Then watched EVERYONE you know get it??

Sometimes I feel like some people have it so easy.

Then they don't even seem to appreciate what they have.

Which is probably not even true...Its just my envy talkin'. Why do I feel this way? Why do I get jealous of others happiness? Especially, since I have been so blessed.

OK~ Enough of that. Sometimes I can be such a baby. I am happy and I have so much to be grateful for. I'm impatient. Bottom line. OK. I have built my bridge and I'm over it.

Thank you.

Weekend in Texas...Welcome Home Jake!!

My (BIG) Little brother Jacob just returned home from a 2 year mission for our church. We were only permitted to talk to him over the phone few times and we couldn't see him at all. This is tuff on a tight-nit family like ours. I am SO proud of Jake. He did such a great job. He spent 2 years of life sharing what be believes and I love him for it. I am not perfect and have made my share of mistakes. Seeing Jake's dedication and sacrifice has made me want to be better. He has grown up so much...literally, I think he grew another 6 inches. (he already towered over all of us)

We had parties, we played, we ate, and laughed. It was a great trip.

lOvE yA, JaKE!!

Thank You Letters

Daddy,
Thank you for knowing way back when what a great person Mama was, thank you for loving her and making her yours! Thank you for coining the phrase, "Love, Hugs, and Kisses". Thank you for working so hard to make a great life for us. Thank for a great head of hair and my singing voice! Oh! Last but certainly not least…thank you for my naming me! (Apparently my parents disagreed a bit about what I was to named and Dad won)
Love, Hugs, and Kisses
Kimmie


Mama,
Thank you for marrying Daddy even though he painted your name on the side of his pick-up truck! Thank you for being such a great example of what a wife and mother should be. Thank you for not giving up on me! Thank for always reminding constantly of what time it was while I was getting ready (I'm not being sarcastic…I have no concept of time)! Thank you for passing on your fabulous sense of humor to me…that's right , I get from my Mama! Thank you for giving birth to me, sorry about the morning, noon and night sickness! Thank you for everything you did that I didn't say thank you for growing up!
Love Ya,
Kimmie


Lady that pulled out in front of me yesterday,
Thank you for testing my reflexes. Thank you for nearly giving me whip lash, it really is my favorite thing. Thank you for your complete disregard of others. Thank you for caring more about getting your cigarette lit than the safety of others.
Thanks Again,
Angry Lady behind you


Continental Airlines,
Even though my flight was delayed I do have to thank you for a few things. Thank for the best in-flight movie EVER!! I'm not even kidding people…STAR TREK!! That's right; I know that you are jealous! Thank for feeding my face. Really the meal was actually tasty! Thank for getting me home safely and almost on time.
Thanks A-Bunch,
Happy Passenger


Jake (Little Brother),
Thank you giving up TWO YEARS of your life to serve a mission for our church. Thank you for doing it willingly. Thank you for being an example and a light to so many! Thank you for driving me around when you got your license. Thank you for being a totally awesome little brother!
Love Ya,
Kimmie


Man sitting next to me on this flight,
Thank you for being aware that I may not want to some strange man's elbows stabbing me. Thank you for respecting the space of others. Thank you for reading my blog as I type and laughing…even at that part! Dude you're great…seriously!
You can sit by me anytime,
Kimberly Worthen (Frequent Flyer from Boston to Houston)


Amanda (Big Sister),
Thank you for always picking me up from the airport and always taking me back. Thank you for spending hours on the phone with me. Thank you for getting (understanding) me. Thank you for "hanging out" with me even when you were in college and it wasn't cool to hang with your little sister! Thank you for actually wanting to "hang out" with me or at least pretending. Thank you for visiting me often, Thank you!!!!
Love, Love, Love You,
Kimmie

Sometimes

Sometimes…

I don't feel good (almost all the time) and there is nothing I can do about it.

I'm lonely when Will is away.

I miss Mama and Daddy…I live too far away.

Being a grown up is soooo hard.

I feel like I can't catch a break.

But then sometimes…

I talk to my Daddy on the phone and he tells me that he loves me.

I get to go home and see my bother after he served a two year mission for our church.

I remember how lucky I am to have a roof over my head, food on my table, and car to drive.

I think about what a good job I have.

My sister comes to see me so that I don't get too home sick!

I am so proud of what Will has chosen to do for a living…even if it takes him away sometimes.

I remember that I'm not terminally ill and that my health could definitely be worse.

I have a beautiful family.

Yep…the glass is definitely half full!! I thought so…I was just checkin'!

Our Faveorite Sushi Place…Yoki! 8.8.09

William was born August 8, 1982. I will spend eternity celebrating that day. I have wanted to write this post for awhile but I haven't been alone long enough. I didn't want him reading over my shoulder telling me to stop it! I want to celebrate him a little. You know…publicly praise him and thank him for being so darn wonderful! Will is an amazing and a truly beautiful person. He loves me unconditionally. He is, by nature, a protector (hence his career choice). He is kind and compassionate to everyone in need. He never says no (especially not to ME)! He is loyal. I love him for all that he is and all that he inspires me to be. Will you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I was afraid that you were too good to be true, and maybe I didn't deserve someone so pure and beautiful and loving as you are. But here we are nearly a year into our marriage and I feel so proud and so blessed to be your wife. Will, I was born to love you and I always will. Happy 27^th Birthday my love!

Self-Takes!!

As Time Goes By...

I just can't believe it...summer is nearly over! It went by WAY too fast. I am so not ready for another New England winter...oh well, what can ya do?? Anyway, drum roll please, no I'm serious...do it! We have almost been MARRIED for 1 YEAR! It totally doesn't feel like it has been that long. Seems like just yesterday we were snuggled up on my parents couch taking a Sunday snooze! I'm pleased to say that for the most part married life is perfect. Will is SO good to me! Those of you that have known me for awhile know that I need to be taken care of in a very literal sense. I need help remembering things, I need to be babied(spelling??? or is it even a word...whatever ya know what I mean) when I'm sick, and....well you get the idea! I need a lot!! My family was giving Will the 3rd degree before we left..."You better take care of her" was what everyone kept telling him! I am happy to report that he has definitely done just that! He has been so great. Seriously, we are so blessed. We aren't millionaires or anything but we have been so fortunate. We have always been able to get what we need and take care of ourselves! We have had our struggles but (knock on wood) nothing that we couldn't handle. I attribute most of this to our religious beliefs. We pay tithing and attend church regularly (we are NOT perfect and I'm NOT trying to be preachy...just sayin')and I truly believe that we have been greatly blessed for it. Not only financially but in our relationship as well. We have had to adjust to being married but it really wasn't hard at all. Just the "She has 70 bottles in the shower and she leaves them all open" and the "He always has the remote"!We have our little arguments like most couples do but nothing major. It has been tuff living away from home but I have been able to go home and we have had SEVERAL visitors! All in all life is good!!
