Thirty Day Project: Day 12

Day 12 - A picture of something you love

PERFORMING & COLORGUARD.



Easily I could have put my family but I thought that was a little to obvious.

I love spinning, I love being dramatic, I love teaching, I love performing, I love be able to inspire others. I can definitely say I've spent half of my life thus far being involved in the artistic sport and I wouldn't change it for the world, except maybe spin a little more than I have :) The feeling I would get after having an amazing show, was like a runner's high. I can only hope circumstances come along soon that I can perform again. Until then, I'll be teaching!

Predeployment & Maternal Thoughts

A friend of mine and I, have had a lot of life events match up and be almost identical. It's kind of serendiputous that we live on opposite coasts and have SO much in common. Marriage to a marine, our son's due date's & birthdays, deployments, and now she is a little a head of me with her hypermesis during her daughter's pregnancy and birth. I'm experiencing the same pregnancy only a few months later!

Her husband has deployed again and just missed the birth of their daughter and it's giving me a look at what will probably happen with my husband and daughter. The worst part of this all is she is going through a tough time with her family not understanding the difficulty of having two kids with her husband deployed. Instead of supporting her and consoling her, they are judging her and making crude remarks. Just breaks my heart.

It really makes me sad I can't help her. I only pray someone gives her a break and helps her out. I'm about to go through the same thing with a newborn and my almost three year old and I can only hope my family and friends who've stuck it out along with me, continue too. And continue to stand by my complaining :)

I feel very lucky to have a friend like her, and all the others who've come in and out of my life when I need them. They say you can't choose your family, but I am lucky to have some family who've been so supportive in my life. I love all of you!<3

Thirty Day Project: Day 11

Day 11 - A picture of something you hate

Abortion. People who use it as birth control. People who say stupid a$$ things like If [my daughters] make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby"..... So here's a few pictures. I couldn't bring myself to post a picture of a poor aborted baby :(

I miscarried a child once and it was the most devastating event in my life. I cannot image CHOOSING to lose a baby!

Thirty Day Project: Day 10

Day 10 - A picture of the person you do the most ****** up things with


Angela, Brittany, Andrew and Katelyn :)



I haven't really done anything CRAZY in a while.. but there is a certain group of people, that when we get together, we tend to get a little crazy. It's been a while, because of different circumstances nowadays, but the memories I have created with these people definitely qualify for the most ****** things, lol. I only hope we can do something crazy together again one day :) Ps. Our 2006 reunion is around Thanksgiving this year! *hint hint*

Thirty Day Project: Day 9

Day 09 - A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most

Hands down, My Mom<3



Most people have a pretty decent relationship with their moms, but I'm lucky. I can honestly say my mom is probably the best friend I've ever had. She's there through thick and thin, and I don't believe it's because she has to be, I believe it's because she wants to be. She tells me stuff I don't want to hear when I need to hear it and has gotten me through a lot of obstacles in life by just "being there". She's definitely one tough cookie & I admire that. Without a mom like her, I don't know if I'd be where I am today with my husband and our almost two kids, as happy as we are. Her guidance is something I treasure and only hope I can be like that for my children! I love you mom!

Day 08 - A picture that makes you laugh



This is a picture of my sick little baby boy when he had RSV. And he was just such a good sport and stayed happy through it all, but this one day, i think he was just tired of being sick. So we got him a sticker and told him it was Mr. Yuck...this is his reaction! LOL!! I just love his face!

Day 07 - A picture of your most treasured item

My Wedding Rings



I choose my wedding rings because they symbolize what my life is all about. Marriage, Love and Family. I am completely submerged into those three and it wasn't until I married my husband that I realized those were the most important things in life. It's made me appreciate my parents and sisters more, give me the strength to be a supportive military wife and also to grow into the mother I am today. The non ending circle, made of gold, represents to me, the things in my life which are the most important and I put first..marriage, love and family!
