Big heart, potential through the roof and Loving

You may be wondering... now what or who is this title referred to!?!?!? Well let me tell you.  I have the most amazing brother in the whole entire world and I'm going to tell you why.  Carson has an enormous heart of gold and only wants to help and make others feel loved and cared for.  He has been one of my best friends since we were little kidlets and I became quite protective of him while growing up along with my other two sisters.

Whether he liked it or not, Cars had an entourage of strong, independent, and stubborn women who were always there to nag, build up, support, laugh with, and share memories with throughout his life.  Life has thrown a few curve balls his way, but he has NEVER given up and has always strived to better himself by taking little steps to be in a better place.


Those who truly know him LOVE him to death and can't get enough of his Madagascar quotes, fun loving personality, and ability to make anyone smile.  He has always had my back and has built me up and made me believe in myself when I needed someone to depend on.  I couldn't ask for a better brother and am so proud of the things he has accomplished and will continue to accomplish throughout his life.


I know that Carson is going to do AMAZING things because that is who he is and he is a true Comet at heart who will never settle for less than what he deserves in ALL aspects of his life.  He is an amazing friend, brother, and example in my life and I just want him to know... I love ya Cars and am so proud of the man you've become and I know that as you continue to focus on the important things on life, you will continue to grow in the man that God wants you to be!  Love you eleventy four and know that I will always have your back through thick and thin!!


 Isn't he a stud!?!?!? Anyway... okay moving on to my life... so Dust is officially out in Newfoundland selling his lil hiney off.  He already has 4 sales in 2 days and I'm so proud of how hard he works and his determination to be great at whatever he does!  I miss him like crazy and can't wait to get out there after my graduation on May 13!  Other than that, I have been relaxing and spending time with the family around the house.  The weather hasn't been great, but I was able to get out and mow the front and back yards which are richly green and are looking amazing right now!  I need to take some pictures tomorrow because I haven't seen our yard so green before!  I am absolutely loving being home and being able to spend some quality time with my fam before heading out to Newfoundland for the summer, but I am also really looking forward to spending some time on the east coast with my hubby and seeing the sights over there!  I've heard great things and will have to make sure I do a good job at taking pics and updating!

6. My Zodiak Sign and if I Think it Goes with my Personality...

Well I went online to check out what a Virgo's traits are like, so I'm going to post what they said and then write my own thoughts after each paragraph:

Virgo and Independence:

Virgo is a very independent zodiac sign. They are fully able to put their intelligence to use and get things done for themselves. It is possible however that their narrow mindedness causes their creativity to suffer and they may lead regular routine lives. They may dwell too much on the past and over complicate things and this may limit their ability to move forward and confuse themselves. In conclusion, Virgos are able to be independent but the less evolved types will have difficult if someone is not there helping them to achieve more and not be so critical of themselves.

Well... I have been told I'm a pretty independent person a time or two :) haha  I think this paragraph is pretty dead on with how I am!




Virgo and Friendship:

People look up to Virgo for friends because they are straight thinkers and solve problems logically. They are truthful, loyal and determined. Some people might find them cold or emotionally detached because they live in their minds, not in their emotions and feelings. It might be hard to pin down how a Virgo friend is feeling because they easily live in denial. A person who is able to read deep into another person will notice when Virgo is not well but if they confront them about it, they would rather retreat then talk about it. It is best to keep your emotional distance from a Virgo friend unless they open up to you first. Virgo might try to analyze and control a friend's life but only with the idea that they will improve their life, not purely for the sake of controlling. Be patient with your Virgo friend and understand that their recommendations are only to make your life better.

I'm going to have to disagree with this one a bit.  I would definitely not call myself cold or emotionally detached.  If anything, I'm on the extreme other end of the spectrum haha.  It also is not hard to know how I'm feeling because my emotions are pretty evident to detect most of the time, so I think they're pretty far off on this one.

Virgo and Business:

Virgos are very intelligent, they have an excellent memory and a highly analytical mind. This makes them good investigators and researchers. They also have the ability to probe into a person's emotions and they can often see into people and detect what their motives are. This makes them great policemen or interrogators. Virgos are very good at problem solving, this is what they do best. They are confronted with a problem, they will pick apart the pieces and put it together in the proper order. They are rational thinkers and are good at settling other people's disputes and putting them on the right track for reconciliation. Any position that requires the above features, which is a very long list, is perfect for the Virgo. They keep the world in order.

Hmmmm.... well maybe I should rethink my career decision.. police officer.. here I come. haha  Not entirely sure how I feel about this one.  I don't feel like it is closely related to me for the most part.  I am pretty good at problem solving once I actually settle down and stop stressing about it and think about it logically, so perhaps this one has some truth.

Virgo Temperament:

Before a Virgo plunges into anything, from a problem to a vacation idea, they need to analyze all the facts and know all the details before they plunge in and make a decision. This makes them seem indecisive and slow. Virgo's perception is their reality, more so then other astrology signs. What they believe is what will be, if they have a negative outlook on life, things will present themselves to be negative and they will be very moody and isolated/detached. If they are positive, the same events that occur will be held in a positive light and they will be a pleasant, well adjusted person. A Virgo mind is a very powerful mind and they must have the proper attitude for their life to be happy and successful. Virgo needs to get in touch with their feelings, this is why they usually seem cold or detached. They are very prone of living in denial. They will say the feel okay or everything is alright even when it's not. This is an easy way out, the one thing that Virgo does not like to analyze is their feelings so pretending everything is okay is a good defense mechanism for not having to take a closer look at their feelings. Virgo has an unpredictable and sometimes unstable temperament.

I would say I'm a little more spontaneous about decisions at times, but there are also times when I need organization and to know all the facts of a situation before I make a decision.  I TOTALLY agree with this in the sense that if I have a positive mind set, I can handle anything, but if I have negativity floating around, it becomes quite the job to get through.  The focus is to stay and often re-assess where my mind is and ensure that I am keeping an optimistic view on life (then again, I think this is true for everyone, not just me!)

Virgo Deep Inside:

They need to be organized in their mind, sometimes all their energy is taken from organizing their mind that they have a difficult time organizing their surroundings. They easily look too deep into an issue and over analyze what they percept. Virgo is ambitious and strives to always know more and have more. This is in their eternal quest to bring order to chaos. Even if order is obtained from an outsiders' point of view, Virgo will not be settled for they have a very active mind that is always thinking and can never be silenced. Virgos want to be of use, they need to be important and essential to everyone in their lives and in everything they do. Virgo's major life lesson is to learn to trust in and have faith in the unknown. They have to understand that things in life happen for a reason that is not always known to them, they do not have to always know everything. They need to learn to calm down and not over-analyze a situation or event. Deep inside, Virgo is very sensitive and they need to be appreciated for all the things they do. When is Virgo is offended or hurt, they may never show it.

Intriguing! I more related to the second half of this paragraph.  My mind is definitely always going especially at night time on different things that need to be done or that I can help with.  I truly believe in that everything happens for a reason and that we may not understand it in the beginning, but it will turn out if we have faith.  And yes... i do like to be appreciated... who doesn't though!?!? :) 

Virgo in a Nutshell:

Virgo exists in the mind, everything is inside. To the world, Virgo presents a calm and collected exterior but on the inside, nervous uncontrolled intensity in the mind, trying to figure things out, how to improve everything, analyzing and thinking. Virgo can tire itself out without even moving! Virgo has a constant drive to improve and perfect, this can lead to extreme pickiness and finickiest. They are pure, their motives are honest never malicious and they want to accomplish something. 

HA! Calm and collected exterior.... mmmmm depends on the situation, but I definitely would not call myself calm and collected :)  I don't think I'm too picky or finicky... well maybe with some things, but I do have a drive to improve things in a consistent way and always want to accomplish things :)

I'm interested to see what the rest of my fam thinks of these traits and if they're closely related or way off when compared to me :) (This is your cue to comment daddio haha)

That's great that you're going to the East Coast soon! Do you know if you will overlap with Deanna and Dave moving there at all? Darren Maz, Stirling principal, asked about any teachers I knew about, and I told him to snag you up fast. Any chance of you applying here?
