You're such a kick-ass girl. Don't forget to e-mail me every now and then and let me know your post is there...you know, until I get over the separation anxiety.

I'm sorry to hear that it's not going completely as planned or as awesome as it could be. But something I've learned is that you just have to roll with the punches. Not in a sense that you just let the bad shit happen, but in a way that you just know it'll get better. Make sense? Kind of? I'm thinking of you biiiiiiiiig time.

I'm not big "opener upper' and you encouraged me to do that, share whatever issues I'm having, and I'll never forget the weekend that I wasn't 'on the internet' for 48 hours, and you sent me a text making sure I was okay. I adore you, and am so grateful to have you, such an inspirational, ballsy, gutsy girl,as part of my life. So proud of all of you've done, and may you continue to do HUGE THINGS. And share TMI stories with me. And send each other love songs all day. Because even when we get knocked down, we keep rising from the ground, LIKE A SKYSCRAPER.

It's like, my dream job. For real. Looking forward to the Season 5 Applications. SO EXCITED!

And now, 6 months later, after reading this post, I just can't help but to be so proud of you. My favorite thing is that you didn't let anything make you feel like less of a person. That marathon? So you did a 10k, and weren't prepared. SO. WHAT. You had so much fun. Please keep in touch with me and let me know how everything is going in your awesome life and with Hunny Wedding planning! :) Wed, 27 Jul 2011 16:27:30 +0000 http://www.stratejoy.com/2011/07/signing-off-and-thanking-you/#IDComment177792143 http://www.stratejoy.com/2011/07/love-gratitude-and-adventure/#IDComment177015724 I also am in awe that your 6 months are over with Stratejoy, girl! The awesome thing though is that every ending is a new beginning. I can't wait to see where life takes you. And you had better keep me posted on all of the happenings of your life. :) Mon, 25 Jul 2011 00:12:20 +0000 http://www.stratejoy.com/2011/07/love-gratitude-and-adventure/#IDComment177015724 http://www.stratejoy.com/2011/07/11798/#IDComment175926043 Dear Future Business Partner, You're fabulous. Love, Your Future Business Partner Thu, 21 Jul 2011 15:28:46 +0000 http://www.stratejoy.com/2011/07/11798/#IDComment175926043 http://www.stratejoy.com/2011/07/packing-a-suitcase-of-oprah-wisdom/#IDComment175709928 I LOVE that you're taking time away from your computer/Internet. I used to be so afraid to unplug, thinking I'd miss something, when in reality I was missing time with myself. Way to go, Laura! Thu, 21 Jul 2011 02:05:08 +0000 http://www.stratejoy.com/2011/07/packing-a-suitcase-of-oprah-wisdom/#IDComment175709928 http://www.stratejoy.com/2011/07/the-colour-of-love/#IDComment175199303 Ah, lovely, this is amazing. I know how your fears were fleeting, coming and going through pregnancy, and it's been amazing taking this journey with you, if even from miles and miles away. I don't know a lot, but the things I do know, I know for damn sure. And one of those things is that you are, and are going to be an amazing momma. That Gabe is one lucky babe to have you for a mommy. (Even if you do think it's the other way around.) Congratulations, he's just...gorgeous. (Like Momma!)

I'm still looking into ways for you and Mr. A to adopt me.

What's important too is to learn how to be alone. Don't freak out if it's a Friday night, and you don't have plans with the guy, or friends, or something. Learning to be alone has been my #1 cure for the lonelies that I tend to get. The gym thing is a fabulous idea. I can't say I would ever join you in a yoga class (I tried, not my thing), but I will support you in whatever you're doing. Unless it's illegal. Even then, I'd support you while you were in prison and write you letters. :) Mon, 18 Jul 2011 18:46:05 +0000 http://www.stratejoy.com/2011/07/uncovering-loneliness/#IDComment174878682 http://www.stratejoy.com/2011/07/uncovering-loneliness/#IDComment174878010 Jennifer, I hope all is going well in Germany for you! I saw you pop up in the comments and HAD to say hello! Looking forward to lots and lots of stories from you about Germany and all of the amazing stuff that's next for you. Going to try and schedule a call with you and Melissa very soon. Miss you both!

Stubborn as a mule, but hilarious. It's one of those things that I kind of ignored for a year and wondered if it would ever hit me. And then it did. I'll be quoting him for years to come. Thanks, lady :) Wed, 29 Jun 2011 13:39:27 +0000 http://www.katieblogs.com/2011/06/hills-are-still-alive.html#IDComment167939734 http://www.katieblogs.com/2011/06/hills-are-still-alive.html#IDComment167939358 Ashley, thanks! I know you know a thing or 10 about lose on a multitude of levels, and I appreciate your support (here, and always). Hope our paths cross again soooooon!

Not the bathroom, the sleep paralysis. Part of my brain was yelling "ABORT! ABORT!"

But now that we are embracing positivism (which I didn't even know was a word, holler!), the bright colors just seemed to fit. And I must admit, getting ready in that bright bathroom makes me happy. Come see it, girl!

But as I said to Miranda up there in the comments, the last few minutes really were SORT OF emotional for me. Under the influence of wine? Um, yeah. But I agree not nearly a "GOOD" movie by any means. Sad? Yes. Mon, 27 Jun 2011 14:45:37 +0000 http://www.katieblogs.com/2011/06/weekend-recap-featuring-bathroom.html#IDComment167198990
