Like a Felix Felicis Potion
Yeah, I feel lucky like I downed a potion from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Were it not for
careful planning and a steadfast husband this moment wouldn't have happened right now. But it has because I am a lucky woman
to have a man that works so hard for his family.
We've paid off my student loan. And just like when we paid off our credit cards and our car, we will celebrate this victory.
What this truly means for our family is that we have only one debt left to tackle before we are debt free. I can feel it right
around the corner....(Thanks, Dave Ramsey!)

Down and Out in Washington State
This weekend was pretty fun at first. Danny and Cirel went to a great game and I watched a movie with a friend. We saw
Stomp the Yard. I know, it's formulaic. But who cares!? The dancing was awesome and me and my friend loved every minute
of it.
Cirel has a fever and I don't feel so great either. She's staying home today and tomorrow. Hopefully, she will
be feeling good enough that we can send her to evening care on Valentine's Day for our date. *fingers crossed*

Soar, girl, just Soar
I used to love reading poetry in grade school. It's been a long time since I have picked up
a poetry book (my last by e. e. cummings) but I love lyrics for the same reason. A poem and a song are one in the same to
me except the extra element of music moves me to new heights when it comes to these words. So I post this today for anyone
who feels they need the lift in their spirit.
Soar
by Christina Aguilera
When they push when they pull,
Tell me can you hold on
When they say you should change,
Can
you lift your head high
And stay strong
Will you give up, give in,
When your heart's crying out
That it's wrong
Will
you love you for you
At the end of it all
In life, there's gonna be times
When you're feeling low
And in your
mind insecurity
Seems to take control
We start to look outside ourselves
For acceptance and approval
We keep forgettin'
that
The one thing we should know is
Don't be scared to fly alone,
Find a path that is your own
Love will
open every door
Its in your hands,
The world is yours
Don't hold back and always know,
All the answers will unfold
What
are you waiting for,
Spread your wings and soar
The boy who wonders is he
Good enough for them
Keeps tryin'
to please 'em all
But he just never seems to fit in
Then there the girl who thinks
She'll never ever be good enough
for him
Keeps tryin' to change
And that's a game she'll never win
Now in life there's gonna be times
When
you're feeling low
And in your mind insecurities
Seem to take control
We start to look outside ourselves
For acceptance
and approval
We keep forgetting that the one thing
We should know is
In the mirror is where she comes
Face
to face with her fears
Her own reflection
Now foreign to her after all these years
All of her life she has tried
To
be something beside herself
Now time has passed
And she's ended up someone
Else with regret
What is it in
us that makes us feel
The need to keep pretending
Gotta let ourselves be

"Well I've been afraid of changing
'cause I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
children get older
and I'm getting older too."
Landslide by Fleetwood Mac
