I must have done something right for him to have chosen me...

True Blues

Missing my family during the holidays is so tuff. I've began to throw myself into work so that time passes, but at the end of the day, true blues come to haunt me. But i have to remember this is what I signed up for, to let things change at a moments notice. But then again, whats a man without a great woman standing behind him. So as this fourth begins to start, I just remember this is what life is all about.Thank you baby, for defending this country one day at a time. You make me PROUD to have the same name as you.

I watched the flag pass by one day
It fluttered in the breeze
A young soldier saluted it, and then
He stood at ease

I looked at him in uniform
So young, so tall, so proud
With hair cut square and eyes alert
He'd stand out in any crowd

I thought how many men like him
Had fallen through the years
How many died on foreign soil?
How many mothers' tears?

I thought of all the children,
Of the mothers and the wives,
Of fathers, sons and husbands
With interrupted lives

No FREEDOM isn't free

DENVER BOUND

UGH, have you ever just missed being home and around people who you know adore and love you?? I can't wait to be back in denver in July, of course ill miss my friends n house, but i will be having a great friend who will be watching and staying at my house, so it doesn't get lonely.

I miss my family soo much, I miss waking up and seeing mountains and smelling the smell of coffee brewing at 5 am, i miss coming downstairs and always having my mother great me with a perfect breakfast and watching the news with me. She's been my rock with my calling her at all kinds of random times throughout the night.

I miss my aunt who always makes me smile and is always giving me great advice, plus she always makes such good food, and makes sure im stuffed before leaving.

I miss all my friends who get me and always will be my close circle. My bestfriends wedding is coming up, and my dress and shoes for it are adorable. They are Jessica Simpson and they are black and yellow plaid peep toes, ah here i go again with shoes.

Any ways i cant wait to see my mountains again, 8 months is way to long to be away while the hubby is deployed.

50 ROSES just for ME

Okay so two days ago, I had to go check on my neighbors dog im watching and when I opened the door there was a box on the floor, no it wasnt a bomb, I must of missed the door bell or somethings any ways, it was 50 roses from my guy.

I was all smiles when i read his note and started putting the flowers in water, that even though working so hard, and being in misserable heat he still makes time to make my day a little bit easier.

I am so lucky to have such a great husband, after 3 years I am still head over heels over him, i get love letters from him daily that i scrapbook so that one day when we are fifty i can show my kids kids, how crazy we were and still will be at that age, i cant wait to start extending our family when he comes home!! I hope its a boy!!

THE DOG HOUSE AND THE MONEY

Who would have know that Mr. Reah could find a job so easily with a lawyer just by having some very handy journalism skills,and to think he is making a few grand for 20 hours a week, I mean thats so impressive, i should definetly look into expanding my blog or getting my name out there for simples task!

Now on a side note, okay somy neighbor asked me to watch their dog for them while they goon vacation for a week and a half to california, they told me she was trained and she could be left inside the whole time minus she be let out a few hours a day, well since i workand go to school its hard so i let her out and feed her in the morning and then the sameinthe evening and let her play outside for a few hours while im home since she also seems to get out of the backyard quit easily.


The first day they left she got into the trash and trashwas shreaded everywhere and tea bags were everywhere. The second day she got a hld of dvds and today i walked in and their brand new couch that is about two weeks old, well she got a hold of one of the huge pillows and shredded it, there was cotton everywhere in the house, im not even exagerating when I say that i thought someone broke into their house because this huge stuffed pillow was torn to bits,

Did i mention that I am NOT getting paid to watch after this dog? so after cleaning up after it several times of her little fits i decided to just leave it the way it was and they can see what a pain their dog had been for me.

IF THE SHOE FITS, BUY THEM IN EVERY COLOR

DOES ANYONE ELSE SHARE MY OBSESSION WITH SHOES?
I THINK I SERIOUSLY HAVE A PROBLEM. I CAN'T GO ANYWHERE WITH OUT LOOKING AT SHOES, MANY TIMES MY HSBANDS HAS TO DRAG ME A WAY FROM A BEAUTIFUL PAIR OF RED PATEN PUMPS, ITS AS THEY CALL MY NAME FROM ACROSS, WELL, ACROSS FROM ANYWHERE I SUPPOSE.

MY LOVE FOR SHOES STARTED WHENI WAS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, I LOVED HAVING DIFFERENT SANDALS AND BABY HEELS THEN AS I TURNED INTO A PRE-TEEN IT GOT WORST, I OWNED OVER 60 PARIS OF SHOES AT JUST 12 YEARS OLD, NEEDLES TO SYA I HAVE 200 NOW, NOT MENTION THE 30 PAIRS OR SO I GIVE AWAY EACH YEAR TO GOODWILL BECAUSE THERE OUT OF STYLE OR I JUST DONT LIKE THEM ANYMORE, THOSE SHOES ARE GOING TO MAKE SOME GIRL VERY HAPPY!

THIS WEEKEND I BOUGHT THE CUTEST ROCKER GIRL PUMPS THAT WRAP AROUND MY ANKLE AND HAVE STUDS ON THEM, VERY ROCKER GIRLISH. BUTI ALSO HAD TO TURN DOWN THESE GORGEOUSE BLUE SATIN PEEP TOE PUMPS FROM PARIS HILTON WITH A BOW ON THE SIDE, THEY WERE NAVY BLUE, AND I WAS PRACTICALLY DROOLINGOVER THEM,I HAD TO PRETEND LIKE MY HUSBNAD MADE ME PROMISE NOT TO BUY THEM INORDER TO LEAVE EMPTY HANDED.

MY SHOES HAVE GOTTEN SO BAD THAT I HAVE MY OWN PERSONAL CLOSET ONLY FOR MY SHOES IN MY HOUSE, AND WHENMY HUSBAND GETS BACK HE NEEDS TO PUT UP YET AGAIN, MORE SHELVES, BECAUSE WHILE SOME PEOPLE TURN TO FOOD FOR COMFORT, I TURN TO SHOES SAEM IDEA, JUST DIFFERENT NEED. AH NOW ONTO SHOES.COM FOR SOME MONDAY STEALS...

So Disturbing... BUT you WON"T stop reading

Okay, so this morning my husband told me that he had come into contact with a "camel spider" well I didn't know what that was an apparantly I didn't want to know. After he explained that this spider was around nine inches wide i decided to google to see for myself. The results, the most grossest, sickest, disturbing thing i have ever seen. Lets just say that if I had seen one, I garantee that i would be purchasing a handgun and walking around with it. I was morified at what I saw here is just a little info on this bad boy. " They run 10 mph,and can grow up to 12 inches, jump three feet, are a nocturnal spider, so only come out at night unless they are in shade. When they bite you, you are injected with Novocain so you go numb instantly. You don’t even know you are bitten when you are sleeping, so you wake up with part of your leg or arm missing because it has been gnawing on it all night long. If you are walking around and you bump something that is casting a shadow over it, and the sun makes contact with it, you better run. It will instantly run for your shadow, and scream the whole time it is chasing you. PS. These are Spiders found daily in Iraq by troops. Imagine waking up and seeing one of these in your tent!! Spread this to all your friends who have a family member in the army, and let them know what kind of daily life they live everyday! Hopefully someone high in our government will start thinking about our troops’ lives, and they’ll be back home safe real soon!" To say the least, I will be taking this post down soon because he writing about this is giving me chills. Here are just a few pics of these beasts.The pics are disturbing!

"All that I am MY Mother made me"

"A mother is someone who dreams great dreams for you,but then she lets you chase the
dreams you have for yourself and loves you just the same.A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie."

IT'S OK TO SAY NO!

Fellow bloggers,
Ever get the feeling you are being taken for granted or advantage of by someone who is supposed to be someone who cares about you? Perhaps it's a friend, lover,parent, employee etc. When is the appropriate time to tell someone no after doing so mouch for them out of love? is it when they ask you for favors time after time after time and never give back? is it when they never want to talk except when they need advice or help? Friendship goes both ways, and when you find yourself ignoring their calls,texts and emails, maybe its time to let the friend go. In our lives, we all become selfish at one point or another, and freindships, lovers and relationships soon decay after a time. So make the best out of your relationships, because you never know when someone might just pull the plug on you.

A MIXED FAMILY IS THE BEST KIND

My little brother is growing up so fast, and sometimes it's really hard to recognize that he is 18 years old already! yikes where has time gone! He is such a good kid, and reminds me a lot of myself, although he's not quite as loud as me. He is a definetly very sarcastic and is obssesed with his crazy dog name Champ, this is no ordinary dog, he always rips around the house going a million miles per hour and when left alone in a room, he will jump four feet just to try and open the door with his paws, to say the least he is one CRAZY dog!Sometimes its so hard to admit when the "LITTLE" brother becomes no longer the little brother but a young man, either way, he will always be the little one in my eyes.

Life strikes again...

Okay, so today's ramblings, I relaized that I needed an oil change and couldn't get seen until friday, next i realize that my AC at home has gone out, and third i get a call saying my dog is out roaming the town, but just came to find out that it isn't me dog, its my neighbors, which means as a good citizen i must chase down their dog. Next i can't get into a spanish class at another university because it doesnt recognize my log in. Which brings me to my next point, okay friends, when you find yourself at the grocery store and the checkout lane read 15 items or less and you notice the person in front of you has at least 40 items is it wrong for me to get annoyed that this person clearly is ignoring the sign? And finally, i realize that I havn't got a call back for an interview that i need to do for the news statioN, so with all everything and anything going wrong,it's a good thing I at least got to talk to my husband, which then made me realize that being thousands of miles from home,workign twelve hour shifts, and the weather peaking at a low 115 degrees, has made my problems seem like baby problems. I guess when I think my life is getting crazy, I need to remember that there are others who always have it worse.

My Raja Roo

This is my Raja, he is a black lab, although everyone thinks that he is a great dane. He weighs in at over 100 last time i weighed him which was about six, nine,I don't even remember. His bark is bigger then his bite, he is so protective of his family and I love it. He has got the biggest puppy dog eyes ever!

Family

FROM THIS DAY FORWARD

LOVE
