Hope all is well with everyone..

Day 18

Day 18 - A picture of my biggest insecurity

My biggest insecurity is my hands, so much so that I could not find a picture of them. Thats how much I don't like them. I have RA.. my hands swell, it embarasses the crap out of me. I will never ever offer someone my left hand, because I feel like people would know. Ridiculous I know... but it is what it is.

Day 17

Day 17 ... A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life lately..
I couldn't really put a picture of the entire Marine Corps... but yeah.. the Marine Corps. They have been a huge part of my life lately. Jack was supposed to get out... and then he didn't and now we are planning OCS. So yeah the Marine Corps has been a huge part of our life and recently it has been even more on the forefront of our mind.

My Daddy. He always inspires me to do my best.

Day 14

I skipped yesterday... oops... so two pictures today!

Day 14.... A picture of a person I can't imagine my life without

My husband. No matter what he is my best friend and I love him with all I have. Whether we are in the same place or not, we are always connected in heart. Because of that I am incredibly happy.

Day 13

Day 13... A picutre of my favorite band or artist....






These would be some of the rappers on the Young Money label. And I love them! Like heart them insanely. I love Lil Wayne, Drake, Nikki, Gudda.... all of them. I love the mixed tapes they make and I heart all thier songs. Random huh? But y'all probably had a hint when the person I wanted to trade places with for a day was lil wayne. haha
And I am cheating and posting 2 pictures..haha


The second is Bruno Mars! I heart him. His new song Gernade...amazing.

"I'd catch a gernade for ya, put my hand on the blade for ya. Jump in front of a train for ya. You know I'd do anything for ya. I would go through all this pain. Take a bullet to the brain. Yes I'd die for ya baby. But you wouldn't do the same."

I am slightly obsessed with rap and hip hop music. It happens. haha.

Can you Believe it...

So yep... 2 posts in one day. Can you believe it? haha. I have been posting a lot lately. I feel like I am finally getting back into this blogging thing. Go me. I need to add more picutres... and I will work on that. I am slowly but surely making this blog better.

So today I realized I was posting a lot of picutres.. but not really updating y'all on life. So I figured lets do a 10 on Thursday. So here goes.

1. Bentley apparently has allergies. So much so that our only solution is either he lives in a cone collar or he gets allergy shots. We went with the allergy shots. So far so good. We have been cone free for almost 24 hours. This is a big accomplishment for Bentley.

2. Abercrombie does not hold merchandise. Even if you are on your way. They also do not allow you to pay for an item over the phone. I can't help but think this is bad for business. I did though get my coat I wanted.

3. If you are going to leave a job it would be awesome if you gave notice. It would be even more awesome if you didn't leave your stuff all confusing. Good times for me cleaning that stuff up.

4. Jack and I decided to get passports. Now where we will go to use them... who knows. But at least we will have them.

5. Everyone has been making new years resolutions... I kind of forgot to do them. So no new years resolutions for us... just getting through another year as happy as we can.

6. I am planning my next 2 tattoos. I may or may not be slightly addictted.

7. Jack got a motorcycle. I am excited to be able to ride it. Should be fun.

8. All the season premieres are coming this week and next. My dvr is working overtime. Not sure what I would do without it. I never watch a show when it is actually on.

9. I need a day with my bff Dawn. I just do. Its one of those things.

10. Sometimes the news you want most you hear from everyone else first. I am trying not to get discouraged... but it is hard. In time it will be my turn....hopefully.

Okay... so thats it.
Hope everyone has a great day!

Day 11

A picture of something you hate...

Okay... today's picture.... a picture of someone's hand with RA. I don't necessarily hate RA, I just hate that someday my hands will look like that. I hate that I can't use my hands to do the things I want to do all the time. I hate that RA has such a big piece in my life. Stupid RA.
In the same sense.. a weird sense.. I am thankful for it to. It has made me who I am. It could be worse. But yeah... I have a love/hate relationship with RA. Today I am in a hate relationship with my RA.

Day 10

Day 10... A picture of the person I do the most jacked up things with...



My Ryan! "Can't lose on 22's!!" Ryan never fails to make me laugh. Don't know what I would do without him. He can always bring a smile to my face no matter how bad my day has been.

Day 9


Day 9 ...A picture of the person that has gotten me through the most
My big brother. We may have our fights and we may have our differences, but in the end I know my big brother is always there for me. I am pretty lucky. I have the best big brother in the world.

Day 8....

Day 8... A picture that makes me laugh

Jack and I have this thing.... we make angry faces when we are bored. I know we are odd. But we like it. Anyway clearly our friend Josh did not get the memo. It cracks me up every time.

That would be my wedding ring, and the jewelry my husband has given me that reminds me of how proud I am of him.
