Never say I will never be...
Sometimes you have to look things right in the face and accept it for what it is..
I am heather..
I have red hair..
I am a size 12..
I have gray eyes..
I am 26 years of age..
I have dreams..
These things are all facts of me...
I happen to love Heather, for who she is, attitude and cocky sense of humor and all..
I will never be able to hide this red hair, I have tried and I have learned to love it..
I have a larger frame and I will never be a size 2 or even 4 for that matter, but it's okay..
I happen to love my eyes, they change with what I wear or the mood I am in. Sometimes they are gray, green or even blue. Mostly though they are gray.
I am fast approaching 30 years of age, that alone is upsetting to me! More along the lines of what have I done, and what do I still want to do?
The dreams I have are ones I know I can accomplish. Just over the last two years I have done so much, I cannot wait to see what this next year is going to bring!
Heather's Bucket List.........
1. Write a book, a good one at that!
2. Become a amazing mother that provides for her family and is known for her love and care for those that matter to her the most!
*3. Make it to Forks, Washington to see cousin Tina! (And Edward Cullen!)
4. Sky Diving
5. Make it to Paris and London!!!
*6. Stop dying and cutting on my own hair and except my natural beauty.
*7. See the ocean!
8. Visit Boston, see New England's beauty!
9. Make it back to Washington D.C.
10. Learn how to speak French.
11. Finish my dedication tattoo's to those I love that have past!
*12. Learn to Surf. (Does falling a lot count)
*13. Get into shape!
*14. Ski on a mountain. (Broken toe)
*15. Airplanes, actually get on one.
* Already accomplished!

Vacation: Forks, Washington!
Time for some relaxation and some peace of mind... that means vacation!
Amazing view!
HOME AWAY FROM HOME!!!
I should have gotten a picture of the attack kitten. A little black kitten hat Ashton, the owner of Dazzled rescued just days ago, a mere 6 weeks old and she loved to attack feet. Since dazzled is so dark inside you never know where she is lurking. lol
Forks is usually very chilly and rainy, but this week we were blessed with the best weather possible. The evenings watching the sunsets, running around bare footed on the beach, falling into the water and freezing the drive back to town, all of it worth it! I love Washington and I love Forks! Everyone I saw that I had gotten close to while I lived here greeted me with open arms and lots of hugs! I have made life long friends and some of the best memories here. Heading home now back to the Midwest! No ocean and no vampires!
Leaving St.Louis!
Breakfast... Salty Caramel Mocha Frapp!
Sunrise headed to St.Paul.
As I sat at the airport, in sweats and a parka, with no makeup on what so ever and my hair plain straight, the excitement was building as you can tell. Our flight was heading out at 6:30 and we had to be at the airport you usual two hours before the flight. Even though we would have been fine just being there one hour. Mothers have to always have there way though. lol The flight to St.Paul was a small one and the sunrise was breathtaking. Inside of the airport was a little Mall, with stores such a Ross, Harley Davidson, The Chocolate Factory, The Body Shop and Chanel. It was a nice little train ride/ walk to our terminal. We only had 55 min. before our flight was leaving and we arrived just as our flight was boarding. Too close of a call for us. The flight to Seattle was smooth and amazing, I had a few naps in between my attention going in and out of the in flight movie, the new X Men movie. I choose most of the time to listen to my music, Maroon 5, Adele and Britney Spears really helped me threw this long travel day. Our flight finally landed and there was beautiful Mt. Rainer, waiting for me once more! The long drive to the west side of state was about to start...a four and a half hour drive, including a twenty minute ferry ride.
I love everything about Seattle, Wa. Even better then Seattle is the little town of Forks. My first time visiting was last summer and I lived there for a few months in the winter. It is my home away from home and it always will be...

Finally in Seattle, waiting on out air-porter...
LOVE!
The Original Starbucks!!!
After driving around downtown Seattle for almost an hour, picking up and dropping off passengers, we had the full tour and I must say.. I am in love with the city. The Space Needle was absolutely amazing to see that close, though my picture I did get of it was so blurry there was no point to show it. It was awesome though, take my word for it. From there we hooped onto the Kingston Ferry to head to the western part of state. There was passed threw Port Townsend, Discovery Bay and Squim before finally getting to Port Angeles.
Kingston Ferry, not my favorite place in the world..
mama and me
HOME AWAY FROM HOME!!!
Finally getting into Forks after the hour drive down Highway 101, we were so tired at that point, but I was so happy to finally be here.
lunch @ Sully's in Forks!
Ohh yes!

On the phone with Holly, cannot wait to get home! Sitting in the food court at SeaTac airport.
Goodbye Washington...Mt.Rainer.
Sunset flying to Atlanta!!!
All in all it was a great week, but we were so busy that it was hardly a vacation!
Still love my Washington though!
