Did I get boring?

Is it me, or did this blog used to be really funny and lately it's just...blah. So the other day I was wanting to make this recipe that Brandi put on here for me (shout out to Brandi, it was seriously tasty! The kids hated it but Rob and I wolfed it don't like it was our last meal). So I couldn't remember which post it was so I had to just read through a lot until I got there. I was seriously laughing out loud. I can be a pretty funny gal. The thing is I remember typing some of those and was so not writing them to be funny, but really just to fill you all in on the excitement of my life. Well as I read through these last few posts I'm so bored I'm embarrassed for myself. I promise to try and do better from here on out, and expect you all to let me know if you begin to read and just skip onto the next blog because you don't even care what I have to say anymore. Deal? Deal!
Actually though, this post isn't going to be very funny at all, just another one of my proud moments.
So the other day Bree sent me an e-mail linking me to a blog that she thought I might want to take a look at. Shout out to Bree because, yes, I do know this girl, she is in fact my cousin (well second cousin, once removed, something or other, you know how that works), her mom and my mom are cousins. However all growing up both of my parents sibling all lived far away except for my mom's one brother. So until I was like a teenager I honestly thought that Jami and I were normal cousins. Anyway long story short a couple of years ago I remember going to Jami's wedding and then not too much later finding out that she was divorced. We all felt terrible, and wasn't quite sure what had happened, but at this point we had all kind of lost touch with each other and I didn't want to just call and get the scoop, a little inappropriate I thought. Anyway, I had heard that she was having some issues with prescription pain pills but didn't know too many details. Little did I know, there is definatly more to the story, though I have no idea what. Well recently I we found each other on facebook, so that was fun to hear from her again, though I haven't really talked with her yet. Anyway (that was really boring sorry about that, just wanted to fill you in on my relationship with Jami) so when Bree sent me this link it was great to read. I am so proud of her for taking this step and the help that she is giving to others. She is doing it for herself, she mentions that many times. She doesn't care what people think at this point, she just wants to get this out there, to open this door for people, and WOW, it's incredible! When you link onto it read it with the comments too because some of them are amazing and you will know what I mean. She is awesome and an incredibly strong woman with a story that is all too familiar to a lot of people, though it is really not talked about. So here's the link http://thoughtsofanldsaddict.blogspot.com/ . Keep an open mind when reading it. And for those of you who don't know much about addiction, please believe her with what she is trying to teach. It is very real whether we want to open our eyes to it or not. I remember going to an NA meeting when I was in nursing school and the people there didn't realize I was just there to see what it was like. I took my mom with me and when we walked in people came up to us and were giving us hugs like we were old friends. Picture yourself going back to your home ward, where you grew up, and going to relief society with your mom. That is the kind of welcome I recieved while I was there. They are amazing people at these meetings who are really trying to get through this challenge. Addiction is very real, and it's not just the poor, the homeless, the "white trash" society that it affects. It's everybody. She is so good at pointing this out in a couple of the posts too. So go to the link and see what you think (that was so not meant to be a rhyme). Hope you all have a good day and again I will try to back to my funny self soon enough:)
