Isn't it funny that I post about relationships and dating yesterday and come across two incidents afterward.
Regarding dating, I just feel so confused about it. Like I feel pressured into wanting to date and get these questions, "So any new boys?", "Are you dating anyone?" constantly. I am trying to figure out if I just try to trick myelf into not wanting to date just to not be dissapointed if I dont. Does that make any sense? (This is my issue with, if I can't do it well, I quit.) I know I am not ready to settle down right now, I don't have time to devote to anyone, and I find something wrong with every guy I am interested in (ask my sister, she yells at me about it constantly). I know I am not perfect, but I do believe I am a 'catch'. Also, one of the biggest traits I want in a guy is for him to have a relationship with Christ and to grow together in Him. Now, if I find a guy I am interested in and he's not a Christian- do I count him out? Not to mention I have so much fear in dating a Christian because of judgement he may have toward me... woah... I am just confusing myself now.
So, I dated this guy Ryan right after a 3 year relationship. He was great- tall, professional, nice, Midwestern, gentlemanly, owned his own home, intelligent... as I describe this I am kind of sickened my life of criteria. I was a high-horse single girl who never gave a guy second chances after my long term relationship. I didn't ever call guys, I didn't respond to text messaging, I let them like me more than I'd ever get attached, blah blah blah, all the games. So when he cancelled on a date with me, I was done. While we were seeing each other, I wrote his insurance, so I would talk to him occasionally. And he was a mortgage broker so he'd refer business once and awhile. We've run into each other here and there... no big deal. Anyway so he calls me Friday and Saturday about insurance questions. Then texts me Sunday, "where are good places to go in Fort Myers", so I rattle off some names... He then calls me and talks to me about how this place I recommended was so much fun and hes going back on Friday and I should meet him. Because I am an over-analyzer, I can't stop thinking about what this means (probably nothing)...but he has been in a lot of contact lately with questions and random things... coincidence? You tell me.
Then, I am at work, and a guy who I have known for awhile and consider a very good friend of mine asks me to go to dinner. He just got out of a long relationship and I am pretty hesistant but really don't know how to say no.
P.S. Neither of these guys are Christians... not necessarily agnostic...
So, should I just go with the flow and see where things end?
Or not waste my time since I am not interested?
This is why men hate women... we think way too much!

Longest blog post ever.
So I set out to actually update and I have so many things I want to talk about… it’s a bit overwhelming and actually makes me want to just forget it! Ah… my life motto… its too hard and I may not do it perfectly, so I’ll quit. I just made a list of topics I want to blog about… so I guess I will just update for now.
**P.S. For my sister and dad- I’ll try not to use such big words so you can understand it ;-).
Regarding my last post…
How sad. I found myself so easily irritated with Lawton… and wrote a million words about it in April. Most of you know that Lawton was a victim of violent crime in Denver on May 16th. We had a fundraising golf tournament for him and raised about $15,000- how amazing! He is now almost fully recovered. He is really skinny and has a tube in his head (outside of his skull but under the skin), so he looks a little weird. He showed me pictures of him in the hospital and it almost brought tears to my eyes… it literally made me hug him, appreciating that he is here. He has come back to work a couple days now which is good… It’s sad how badly I need accountability in every aspect of my life. But I am working on becoming more dependent on God and lose the terrible lessons of independency I learned as a child. (I know you thought you were doing the right thing Mom and Dad, but its okay, I forgive you.)
Accurate Insurance Agency
Work seems to be going well. Define well… I am not so sure. I mean, sales are getting there and I can’t expect to just have some grand opening and become a millionaire (I was never very good at the whole patience thing…). The hardest thing for me is marketing, you’d think my loud mouth would be good at networking and talking to people, but I am so intimidated by it. As bad as it is, I hate meeting with clients because then they see how young I am… I really feel judged by it. So, I know I am a good agent, when things need to get done, I get them done. But when it comes time to grow the business and reach out to new potentials, that’s where it’s hard for me.
I am still working at Outback… which I hate. I mean, its good money, but I feel like it tempts me in some terrible ways. I have posted my resume for a different part time job… so I’ll keep updated on that.
On my walk…
My walk with Christ was totally intensified by Lawton’s incident. I was searching for awhile for Him, and could never get back to that connection I used to feel. I was going to church, reading scripture, going to Crew… but I was still missing Him. After I got the news about Lawton, I was literally broken- I mean, we really didn’t know if he would survive… and if he did, the odds of a full recovery were slim, not to mention it would be 6 months before he would come home. All I could do was pray. God broke me down to a place where I could do nothing else but pray. And that’s when I felt it. I got back to Him…
As many things in life, this has been a constant struggle. A guy I was dating once told me that I was a self-sabotager (that hurts). Meaning, if something comes along that I don’t think I deserve, I will sub-consciously ruin it for myself… follow me? I compare this to my relationship with God. I was CONSTANTLY the child that would push my parents to the limit… and I feel like I do that with God too… like, I don’t deserve His forgiveness so I am going to screw up and screw up and wait to see if he comes back. I test His love… how terrible is that?! I guess its good that I am starting to realize it… now I just have to change it. But he always brings me back. ALWAYS. And He always shows me the crazy way he works… as soon as I break down about something and give it to Him; there He is to show me that’s all I have to do. (My stubbornness gets in the way of most my relationships.)
The Home Front
Brooke and I rarely talk. Its purely just a hi/bye in passing. I am not really uncomfortable at my own home, I just don’t enjoy living here anymore. Granted, I love being 1 street away from my sister and her family, and 2 streets away from my Dad (attachment issues), I just don’t enjoy living here, with Brooke or in this house any longer. I feel like I am constantly finding things wrong with it. Not to mention, Sarah moved out with 5 days notice right before July’s rent was due. Oh no problem, except you pay 1/3 of the rent and now we have to make that up.
I’ve toyed with the idea of moving into my Mom’s house since she has 2 extra rooms. But then I woke up and realized I can barely stand her on the phone, let alone living in the same house as her. I guess I should just start searching for another roommate and forget the idea of breaking the lease.
Relationships
Through Crew, I have met some really amazing people. I have met some seriously great people, people that push me to grow and give me great advice! It’s really allowing me to get the best experience out of Summit too, because before I felt like I didn’t necessarily belong and that I was always “Maria’s sister”… but it’s working well now. Lauren (who I work with at Outback) and I have gotten really close. We are both on this ‘get fit’ program… and have been working out 4-6 days a week and eating a lot better. (I’ve lost 5 lbs!) She and I are a lot alike and laugh for hours together… it’s a nice break from my house- that’s for sure. Regarding male relationships… I am just not into it. And it’s frustrating because I do want to be married… but I don’t want to be married for awhile. But it’s still nice to have that attention… or someone to go out with. But I am not interested in dating and I am afraid I will get wrapped up (typical woman) so easily if I start.
Family
My family is doing well, my niece and nephews are ALL growing up so much and it kinda makes me sad. But I look forward to the days that Sean calls me to tell me about stuff before Maria ;-), I am totally the cool aunt. Maria and Kirt are so lucky because I try to do things behind their back like give the kids candy before dinner or soda when Mom says no… but all her kids usually do it and tell Maria. Like Kyla will brag about it and be like, LeLe said its okay! I know Maria can’t wait to be an aunt so she can do all these things to my children…. My dad is amazing as usual… totally there for me through everything. And AJ is growing into such a man… I miss him in his underwear on our porch making pictures in shaving cream on the lanai slider. I can’t wait for him to want to spend time with his family… he’s in that too cool stage and it kinda hurts.
Alright well that’s pretty much everything… I will be updating more often and remember I’ve got some great topics to share soon ;-).
PSS. Oh and I got a really cute haircut that I love. I'll post pics later.
Blessings and Love,
Alicia

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus
Lawton and I got into a fight today. Or more accurately, I got extremely pissed off at Lawton today.
Brief history about Lawton and me: we met when we worked together a week before he moved to Denver. We had instant ‘chemistry’ (for lack of a better word)… or the ability to relate and get along so well. We stayed friends for two years while he lived across the country. Now, we have had feelings for each other (so strong that I actually broke up with Mike-one of the many times- because I had such strong feelings for someone that wasn’t my boyfriend and felt wrong about being with Mike) but they have developed into a strong friendship. A platonic friendship that has worked its way into a business partnership. And a business partnership that has worked its way into a marriage. We bicker about the dumbest things, but balance each other out so well. He has truly talked me through some difficult ‘life things’, and I can only hope I have done the same for him. And somehow it all works. So, as my business partner, he restrains me from making irrational decisions, and I keep him on a focused, organized path. And as friends, we are so completely honest that we can very easily hurt the others’ feelings, yet have a blast hanging out and very well making fun of the other for those issues we are so honest about.
Lawton and I got a Verizon phone plan together in order to simplify our business expenses, communication and expedience in which he received a Florida telephone (when he was moving from Denver). He picked out the Blackberry Pearl so he could receive his emails, text easily, etc, and I order it, set up the plan, get the phone to him and help him with the Blackberry set up. Well, apparently the part the holds the battery to his phone clicks. It like isn’t completely intact and therefore annoys the hell out of him. Neurotic as it is, when you spend $250 on a piece of electronic equipment, you expect to be satisfied. And satisfied he is not. So, I tell him I will call Verizon to try and remedy the situation. I tell dear Linda of the issue and after 10 minutes of discussion and holding, she informs that I must go to a Verizon retailer to verify there is an issue with the phone and “they will know what to do from there.” There is a Verizon store across from our office, so after lunch, I suggest we stop in there… again, to alleviate HIS problem that I am so graciously handling. We go into Verizon and dealt with a pleasant girl that was just diagnosed with cancer, broke her pinky toe, lost her cheating husband to her mother and had a chip on her shoulder bigger than Mt. Everest. Needless to say, she was pleased to make us her “number one priority.” She opened another Pearl which did the same thing, we tried a different back and Lawton was still not satisfied. So, Katie decides to call Verizon and ‘verify’ our issue to try to get him a new phone, regardless of whether or not she feels there is a problem. Perhaps she dealt with Linda as well, and after a long period of holding and ‘research’, hung up the phone. During this 45 minute period, I am waiting and the counter and Lawton is playing with other phones and looking around the store. For the moment Lawton was at the counter, seeing my frustration, he has the nerve to say, “Well you ordered it!” (“Yes please, can I have the refurbished one with the malfunctioning back? I mean, if you’re out of those, I will just be put on the waiting list…”) Katie then tells us she will give Lawton a new back, we try yet another back on, and it still clicks. I’m irritated. Lawton is irritated. Katie just plain hates life and therefore is extremely irritated. She tells him “it’s just the way it fits”, so which Lawton so kindly (sarcasm) rebuts, “you mean the way is DOESN’T fit?!” To this I am not only irritated, but embarrassed. So Katie tells Lawton he can exchange the phone for another if he brings in the box and the charger and all the accessories. Obviously, no more can be done right here or right now. So I thank Katie for her patience and attempt as assisting and we exit. Lawton then proceeds to say, “Well that was a great idea.”
Ugh- ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!
I respond, “What?” And he says it was a great idea to stop at the retailer. Like I thought it up and promised him a resolution to HIS problem. I am furious. I yell at him in the parking lot about how I am going out of my way to help him with his neuroticism, handle everything and he shows his appreciation with a lack of respect and continuance of blame towards me?!? I sit in the car, fold my arms and refuse to speak to him… at this point; he could probably see smoke out of my nostrils as I exhaled. We get back to the office and he keeps asking me if I am okay, if something is wrong and if I am mad at him. I tell him I am mad and that I want to finish working and go home. So I finish working, he sits there as I do not include him or even allow any of his effort toward my task and get up to leave. He’s talking to me in the parking lot about tomorrow and I am short with him and cut him off by getting in my car. He calls me on the way home to find out what is going on with me.
Now, I don’t know if it is a woman thing, pride thing or a man thing- the way all of this went down. I do know that it is very stereotypical; guy makes comment, girl gets pissed, girl refuses to talk to guy and continues to tell him she’s ‘fine’. So he calls and asks what my problem is… and I tell him. I tell him that his lack of respect is unacceptable and that I was only trying to help him and furthermore, his lack of appreciation and recognition for my efforts are exhausting. He then tells me he was joking and that he thought I ‘knew him better than that’. I explain to him that he was pissed at the Verizon clerk, then snaps as me and I am supposed to know that flipped the switch from pissed to joking?!?! Really? So he explains that we are both under a lot of pressure, we want to get this business started and we will be fine once we start working and making money. I tell him I’m done talking about it and get off the phone.
Tonight, I get this email:
Hey,
I'm sorry for the way I talk to you sometimes. I honestly do forget, since we are such good friends, how it can come across when in a professional setting. I promise to stop doing that, immediately! I know we're both anxious to begin. That is an understatement. It really has come together quickly when you think about it. I just think we're so excited and ready for it to begin that we lose patience. I do appreciate all that you do and have done, and I need to let you know that more often.
I believe so strongly in what this can be Alicia. I am absolutely confident in both of our abilities to make this a great success. It is ours. It may not be much now, but when we sit down a year from now, it will be with a steadily growing book of business, and a company that is on the way to becoming financially strong. Security will come. It will happen. I couldn't think of one person I would rather be involved with. I truly mean that. Ttyl.
Lawton
I joke with him about how I “don’t know if I can do this”, working with him everyday and dealing with him as my friend and business partner. We get frustrated with each other, but we still deal- simply for the fact that we have such aspirations for our business and the others’ ability to balance it out and make it all work in the end. I was a bit surprised by his email, but nevertheless satisfied. It really proved that no matter how much he pisses me off, this really can work. I know I’ve mentioned balance a hundred times already, but it’s really what we do. And regardless of how much PMS-ing, bitchiness or moodiness he deals with, he’s still there for me and willing to apologize. I am well aware that I probably overreacted but yelling at him and refusing to speak to him, but at least he admitted fault for the initiation of it. Not to mention he didn’t give up. He called me after we left and then wrote me an email when he got home. His persistence is refreshing… and since I consider it a work-marriage, I am encouraged by the fact that he would go to lengths to settle the issue. I will never understand him, and he will never understand me; but we collectively, we understand that.
