last entry for a while

this is going to be my last entry until we get moved and find a place of to call home. i really hope that this move will be last for us for a very long time. i am so tired of the moving. i just want to be in one place for the rest of my life if possible. i think the next time we move will be either when we buy a place to live or build a home. which that will probably wont happen for a very long time for now. like 5 years. we have been trying to get things that we are going to move ourselves separated from the things the movers are going to move. we still have no idea where we will be moving to but it is looking more and more like alabama. this one place that is wanting to interview mike for like the 5th or 6th are taking their sweet time about getting that interview done. i really hate saying this but we need that answer like last week because we need to know where we are going like today so that way we will have that off of us and can start looking for a place to live. that is what sucks the most not knowing where we are going and where we will be living at. i really know what it feels like not to have a home in some ways. i really hope that where ever we move to that it wont take us long to find a place. i am just so ready for this to be over with.

it be like sept by the time i will get the chance to update you all on how the move went but i will try to get on before that that is if we have a place of our by then and have internet. in the mean time i hope you all have good day.

day ten of the ten day blog challenge

sorry that this is a day late. i was sick yesterday and i didnt feel like getting on the desktop. i had pretty much stayed in bed all day yesterday. but here is my last blog entry for this blog challenge.

yesterdays blog topic was suppose to be list of all the city & states you have lived in (add details)

okay the first city would be scottsboro, al. i lived in this town from the time i was born until i was l ike 9 or 10. ( not sure how old i was when we moved from scottsboro) truthful i dont remember to much about this town. but that it is a good size town, well city. i remember having birthdays in the park. it was a good size park. they have this thing once a month called first monday. it is where people goes and sits up almost like a flea market type of thing. it is pretty cool. and pretty big. i am sure that this town has changed alot since i have lived there.

the second town was a little community called fackler, al. it is right outside of scottsboro in the country. i just love the country life. i live here from the time i was 9 or 10 to i was like 13. well we lived here on and off from 9 or 10 or what ever age i was when we moved from scottsboro.  there really isnt much to tell about this place but that it is country living and i love the country life.

i have lived in guntersville, al. it was the place we live in between the on and off of fackler. this place was okay. we lived in a house that was like a couple of miles from the lake. the school we went to was right on the lake. can you image that a school being right on the lake. we lived in this town only several months. then like around christmas we was moving back to fackler.

when i was 13 years old we moved to red bay, al. i know consider this town as my home town. it is a small town. i always tell people that on a hot day you pretty much can smell the dog food factory all over town. and yep that is kind of true. no the town is not about the dog food factory but that does give one place for people to work. there is sunshine homes (where they make mobile homes) there is tiffins (the RV company) and some other little places to. you maybe surprised that there is town grocery stores in this town. i really love a small town living. i would whether live out in the country outside of a small town.

i live in saraland, al for a few months after mike and i got married then we moved back to red bay for a few months then we was moving to livingston, al. so mike could go to college. no i dont have any details about saraland. i didnt get out much while we was living there. livingston is a college town. and if i remember correctly they only had one grocery store (that could have changed by now but not to sure). we didnt do much while we lived here but grocery shop, have date nights at home that was a subway sandwich and movies. that is pretty much it for that town.

then we moved back to red bay because mike got deployed. then when he got home from that deployment we moved to winfield, al. that is a nice place to live also. i loved the park. they also have little things that goes on around there. like in sept they have this weekend called mule day. it is fun. the first year we lived there we didnt get to enjoy it because mike had just joined the army and he was gone to fort riley. but i lived there while mike was deployed for his third time in 2011. but before that we lived in red bay because mike was deployed for a second time. 

then we moved to

st petersburg, va dont know to much about that town because i dont think there was not too much to do there. but we did go to a mall in richmond, va alot on weekends. and we went to a state park that was close by called pocahontas state park. that was a pretty place. we also went to yorktown and to va beach while we was there.

then we moved to harker heights, tx. basically as soon as we got moved here we found out that mike was getting deployed for the third time. after the third deployment was over we was living back in harker heights, tx. there is a bunch of parks you can go to enjoy. it is a okay town to live in. i just really do not like the traffic. it is like no one knows how to drive. makes you wonder where they learnt from. they do not obey traffic signs (which i know that is every where but here it seems worse) so i really do like it here to much. plus it stays hot all the time. you do not want to know what our power bill is like.

dont know where we will be living next but i cant wait to find out.

day 9 of the 10 day blog challenge

today is day nine and the topic is

dream vacation

well lets see i have a few dream vacation. one is going to the beach. we are not able to go to the beach right now because we are fixing to move.

another dream vacation is disney world. i so can not wait until we can go there again. maybe we will have the money to go next year sometime.

and my third dream is going to ireland. i have always as far back as i can remember has wanted to go to ireland. but i am so scared of getting on a airplane. i know people have said that it is nothing. that it is easy and make safer then traveling in a car because there are more car wrecks. well the way i see it is this a car is not going to fall out of the sky. well unless it is going off a cliff or getting tossed in the air but if something happens to a plane while in the air it falls 1000 and 1000 feet right. so in my mind a car is much safer then a airplane. maybe one day i will get over my fear of flying and will be able to go to ireland.

the choices we make are our own

here lately i have been hearing and reading stories where people wants to put blame on others for the choices that they make. they want place blame on where they live, they want to place blame on how they where raised, they want to blame their friends but the truth of the matter is that we make our own choices. no one else makes them for us. the house or neighbor you are living in is not twisting your arm to make you do things. how you are raised is not making you to do the things you do. your friends are not twisting your arm to do the things you are doing. really stop and think who is to blame. i know that my parents raised, my brother, sister, and i to know right from wrong. to think for ourselves. then we got to a sorten age they left it up to us to make our own choices. so our choices are our choices and we can not place the blame on to others. whether those choices are good or bad because we choose to do the things we do.

yes i have heard of peer pressure but you still have the choice to say no to something you do not want to do. so it is time for us to stop blaming others and look within ourselves and really see that no one is to blame but ourselves.

day 7 of the 10 day blog challenge

today marks day seven of this blog challenge. the topic for today is

your celebrity crush

well i know most people are going to think i am weird or something but i do not have a celebrity crush. i think there is alot of good actors and actress out there but i do not have a crush on any of them. i do remember growing up i had a few celebrity crush but what kid or teenager doesnt. i think that is the normal for kids and teenagers. if i am remember correctly when i was a kid i had a crush on the guy that played zach on saved by the bell (do any of you remember saved by the bell. they should do a reunion of that show haha). here is another one from saved by the bell. i had a little crush on the one that played screech. (i think deep down i always had a thing for nerdy time of guys. must have because i married one :)  lets see who else did i have a crush on as a kid and a teenager. well i guess one would have to be johnny depp. as a kid/teenager there was just something about him.

that is all i can remember. as a adult looking back i can not believe that i had crushes on those people. maybe it was mostly about the characters that they played in tv shows and movies.

day six of the 10 day blog challenge

today is day six of this challenge and today's topic is

what is in your makeup bag?

well lets see even though i dont wear much makeup. i have more then enough haha. lets start with foundation. i have a cover girl prefect match (but it has been in the bag a year and only used once or twice but i think it is time to upgrade to a different brand and i think you are suppose to get rid of it after what six months to a year). i just bought some new powders (i wear powders more then i do the foundation). i bought revlon camera ready powders. i like it. dont know if it actually has me camera ready but i like it. i have all different kinds of eye shadows. i have cover girl, victoria secret, elf, and there is another kind but cant remember the name of it. i also have mascara and blush (got all different kinds of blush to) and i have lip stick and lip gloss.

so that is pretty much all that is in my makeup bag. which it takes about two to three make up bags to hold it all.

day five of the day 10 blog challenge

today is day 5 of this challenge and the topic is what did you eat today?

well as it is still morning i have only ate a bowl of cereal for breaksfast. dont know what i will eat for lunch. but i plan on fixing some pork chops tonight. dont know what sides i will fix with it yet but i will figure it out.

well this blog post is going to be a short one. as there is nothing else for me to write about.

day four of the ten day blog challenge

well today is day four of this challenge. i think this challenge is going pretty good so far. what do you all think.

okay today's topic is why& when did you start blogging?

lets see. i actually started to keep a journal back in 2005. mike and i had talked about it and we was going to start a journal of writing letters for our future kids. then in 2006 i started keeping a journal for when mike was deployed the first time and i have been pretty much writing since then. i started this one website for him to keep up with family and friends and where family and friends could keep up with mike while he was deployed that year. dont really know what happened to that website. then i started writing a blog on blogger in feb 2008. i started it to have a recording of our trying to get pregnant journey. then it just turned into a place that i would go and vent about daily life. but i would still write in my journals there is nothing like a handwritten journal to read back over years later. and something that your great great great great grandkids can read and know the person that you was and to know where their history comes from and things like that.

i think it was around march when i decided to go from blogger to wordpress. i still use this blog every now and again. so it is still here. i like writing there and here. i just wanted a blog where i can show that our life isnt just about trying to get pregnant or adoption. i have things i would like to write about that i really want to get it out there for everyone to see. so here we are. i also have a blog called books books and more books on blogger. it is where i go to review books that i read. i really like doing that. i started it in feb of 2011. i think i mostly started it to have something to do while mike was gone on his 3rd deployment. i always read more when he is deployed. what else was i going to do haha.

i hope every one likes reading my blogs and if there is anything that i can do differently please let me know.

day three of the ten day challenge

today marks day three of this challenge and i am suppose to write about my favorite childhood memory. the thing of it is, that i dont just have one memory of my childhood that is my favorite. there is plenty of my memories that are my favorite. so i just can not choose one. so i will be naming a few. 
i was born in the 1980s so we really didnt have computers or video games and so on. i was always outdoors when or as much as i could as a child and no my parents didnt have to make me go outside. i went outside because i enjoyed it. while outside i would play hide and seek, tag, baseball, basketball, kickball, rode bicycles,  and so on with my brother and sister (well that is when my sister would go outside with us. she used to like the indoors better then the outdoors. dont know why lol ) and with some cousins and a few friends. those was some fun times. i remember once (i use to live in alabama) it came up a blizzard like in march (i think it was march i think it was around the time we was out for spring break so we didnt miss too much school) my brother and i stayed outside to play in the snow. our parents had to make us come back in every so often to keep us from getting frost bite. we use to live in the country and we had a drive away that was pretty long. and my brother and i tried to see how far we could walk in the snow and we carried a tape measure with us to see how deep the snow was. we tried to get our sister to come out side to build a snowman with us and build forts and have a snowball fight but she would barely step out the door.

so as you can see that i have a lot of childhood memories. it would probably take weeks or longer just to write them all down. and i really do not have time for that haha. but i will say this growing up in the 80/90s was the best. it isnt like it is now. where most kids just wants to play video games, be on their cellphones constantly, is always on the computer, and so on. i really think that we need to take away  video games, cellphones, and computers away from kids now days but then again i guess if you did they wouldnt know what to do haha. but i think they need theses things took away from them. or they are never going to know what the real world is really like. they will always want to live in a fantasy world. if they want to live in a fantasy then we need to teach them to pick up a book and read it. they can learn so much more from a book.

day two of the 10 day blog challenge

today is day two of the ten day blog challenge and todays topic is a photo of my family and facts about them. well as i dont have a group shot of all my family and i really dont want to put a photo of them on my blog not having their permission to do so. so i will just put a picture of mike on here and give some facts about him. 

so here we go
  this is my hubby mike. is a fun loving guy and i love him so much.

okay some facts about mike. he knows how to make me laugh, he is a hard work, he does his very best at anything he does. he is fixing to get out of the army and going back into the national guard. he loves computers. he would like to have his own computer shop one day. ( i hope sometime in the future no telling when though. we will be able to get him a small computer shop going i know he would love that). he also loves to read and it is because of him that we have started our own little library.  he loves history. he loves watching the history channel. he loves books on history and books on military to. he is a all around american guy who loves life and is a very hard work. and doesnt care what people think of him. because he is going to be hisself no matter what.

first day of the 10 days blog challenge

this is day one of my blog challenge. day one is a photo of myself and 5 facts.
the photo of me was take a few months back. but i havent changed much since then, so this works haha.

five facts about  me lets see

fact one is that i am 32 to years old and i love my family

fact two is that i love taken photos. i really do love it. right now i am taken some online courses for photography and i hope that maybe some day i can have my very own photography studio. right now i am thinking of starting a small photography business as a hobbyist to just get my foot in the door.

fact three i am infertile. nothing wrong with it. but it is a fact about me. and i have accepted that there is a chance i will never carry my own baby but i know that we will have our baby or babies thru adoption

fact four i married my best friend nine years ago. and i have enjoyed these pass nine years and wouldnt trade them for nothing in the world.

fact five lets see what to write about. i am a great aunt. i became a great aunt back in feb. havent had the chance to meet my new little nephew but i know will one day soon. he is a little cutie. and i cant wait to give him a kiss on the cheek. there is nothing like being a aunt. i love it.

hello world

i know it has been a couple of days since i posted last but been busy with spending time with mike. i love spending time with him. our anniversary was a wonderful day. we exchanged two gifts one in the morning and one when we got back from dinner that night. we go every year to applebee's for our anniversary dinner. it is just something that we started to do on our first anniversary as for the simple fact that is where we had went out to eat on our honeymoon and decided then and there that we would like to go back to applebee's every year. so far we have minus the 3 deployments that mike was gone on on our anniversary.

fourth of july was okay day for us. it really didnt feel like a holiday for us. we wish that family could have made it down to see or even just popped in for a surprise visit since we was not able to go back to alabama for a visit but that didnt happen. but oh well.  we cooked out for ourselves yesterday and cooked way to much food. we didnt feel like eating left overs for dinner last night so we got out around 5 and went and got us something to eat. then we came home finished watching the walking dead and then started watch pt 2 of the star trek movies that i got mike for our anniversary. then around 830 maybe it was alittle closer to nine. we heard people shooting off fireworks so we sit outside for alittle while watching them. even though this town has a band on fireworks in the city limits people shot them off anyways. that has me wondering why cant people respect the laws. they are there for a reason. dont get me wrong what is a fourth of july without fireworks but when you live in a town where the house are almost on top of each other and there has been no rain for weeks and the chances of catching something on fire is higher then why put your home and family and put others families and home at risk of being in danger. that is just something i dont get it. good thing that the people shooting off the fireworks wasnt right close to us. but it was nice to see some fireworks even if it still didnt make it feel like a holiday.

i am fixing to do a 10 day blog challenge starting today (and no this will not be the first post in this challenge lol). i am hoping that this challenge will give me fresh ideas to write about. i really would like to be able to write everyday and this is going to give me a chance to. if i start it today my last will be july 15 and then i can just put everything into our move. it is coming up fast and then once we get moved and settled i am going to do more blog challenges.

i hope you all are doing good and that everyone who celebrates the 4th of july had a fun but safe night and that you didnt get out here and drunk and drive. i also hope that you all have a good weekend and a good summer.

9 years ago

9 years ago today i married my best friend. my one true love, the guy i was meant to be with. my soulmate. the guy that god had sent to me. i really can not believe it has been nine years already. there are times it seems like just yesterday we was getting married and there is times it seems like it has been years. but i still can remember the day we got married. it may have not been the wedding of our dreams but one thing that we will always keep in our hearts is that we married each other. we had wanted a outdoor wedding but instead of outdoors it was a church wedding (nothing wrong with getting married in a church it just wasnt something we wanted) we choose this date july 3, 2004 because we thought our families would come to it since they really wouldnt be taken time off of work to come to it that they was already getting that week off. so in others words when we picked july 3 we wasnt really thinking of our selves. we was thinking of everyone else. dont get me wrong we would not change nothing that went on on that date for nothing in the world but we do plan on renewing our vows next year so that way we can have the wedding of our dreams and also thinking back to our actual married we didnt have all that much money to put in for the wedding of our dream as we was having to pay for it our selves. but it would have been nice to have more then 10 (minus the kids that was came) people to our wedding. i think that is what hurt the most that out of 100 people we invited only 10 showed up. but what ever. i am just glad that i got to marry my best friend. i do not know what i would have done or where i would be if i hadnt met him when i did.
