Ramblin' (wo)Man

So this is going to be pretty random since it's late and of course i'm sleep deprived and yet i can't sleep..isnt that lovely?? ugh so anyways my mind is in overdrive so i was just thinking about a few things..

When I think about words to describe myself i think of honest. Well really i think bluntly honest. I pretty much tell you what i think and when i think it and sometimes that isnt the best thing in the world but! i do it and i pretty much always have. I would much rather duke out a argument right then and there rather then it going on and on for days.. i find that highly annoying.. but oh well..i know not everyone is like me and i realize it.. but i just wish people would talk rather then think stuff and hold it against others instead of telling them the truth about what they think and how they are feeling.. but enough about that! :)

So my Bubby is 7 weeks old tomorrow.. WOW! It does not feel like its been almost 2 months.. UGH! haha i dont want time to go by so fast! But he is smiling all the time and starting to laugh and he is just an absolutely amazing baby. He of course has his little screaming fits and all that but for the most part he is just amazing. haha I tell hubs that he will say Mama first cause he is such a momma's boy already. Hubs can be trying to get him to smile and making faces at him and he just looks at him and as soon as i say something to him and smile at him he is smiling ear to ear haha! hubs loves seeing his smiles and his little laughs just as much as i do and he knows the reason is cause im with him more so its not a problem. I am SUCH a lucky woman to have such an amazing husband who actually likes spending time with his family and his baby most men give the baby up once they start crying but hubs sticks it out! i am so proud of him. he is an amzing daddy not that i had any doubts but it really is an amazing sight to see. :)

shew ok well now that im done rambling i think i will head to bed! finally feeling the drowsiness setting in.

Pet Peeve

So i have a few pet peeves that i have been faced with here lately...

1. Please do NOT brag to me about doing drugs/getting drunk/going crazy because all it does is make me want to punch you in the face.

I have always hated when people would laugh when they were telling some stupid story of what they had done while they were high/drunk what have you.. because most of the time they are the only ones laughing and it makes them look like the stupid idiot they are being by bragging about it. I know that i have been drunk and that i have had those times but i have never done drugs nor will i ever do drugs. That is a personal choice and i don't want to do it nor do i want my child exposed to it. (i know he will be sooner or later but it won't be by me.) i have moved on from that stage in my life. i don't want to get drunk i don't think that alcohol is the answer to having a good time. Now don't get me wrong i dont see a problem with a drink every now and then but again im over the whole getting drunk phase. been there done that and nothing good ever came out of it.. Acohol changes people and sometime it's not for the better. I am just sick and tired of people thinking that they are so cool cause they drink and blah blah.. ughhh..

2. People only wanting to be apart of your life when it's convenient or in my case when i will be in town. if you can't make the effort to talk to me while im out of town then there is no way im going to make the effort to see you while im in town....

ok i think that is all for now i feel better just letting this out.. :)

Just Deal With It

Money is the root of all evil.

I hate that the world literally revolves around money. I hate that we dont have any and were trying to make ends meet as it is.. I hate to see my husband, who does so much for me and bubby, stressing about not having enough money to go out and have fun. I hate that he thinks that we have to have money to have fun! I love just spending time at home with him and our baby boy and our little doggies. The perfect weekend is just having him here and us just relaxing... Most divorces are caused by money issues, and i do not want to be in that statistic. I try not to stress out about wondering where we will get the money to pay our bills and buy us food and buy essential things for bubby but it is hard.

Alot of people think that the army is a great job and yada yada but it doesn't pay worth a crap. i mean yea we have health insurance and we have resources on post that are "tax free" but really it's not that much of a difference. For what my husband does day in and day out he should be getting paid alot more then what he does. He is never off duty, he can get called at anytime and have to report. I hate it. I seriously cannot wait til next year when we are out. Now don't get me wrong. I love my hubby and i am super proud of him. He is my hero. Always has been and always will be. He is amazing. i guess all im saying is i wish that life was easier but.. i think everyone wishes that.. oh well i guess i just gotta put my big girl panites on and deal with it..

La da de da!

SO much has happened since the last time i blogged!!

First and foremost i gave birth to my now one month old baby boy!
Brayden Lane was born on my hubby's and my 2 year wedding anniversary! God gave us a beautiful gift this year and every year to come! Brayden is such an amazing baby! I love him more then anything in this world...

Well now down to the nitty gritty..
I feel as if i have lost pretty much all contact with someone very close to me. We used to know everything about each other and now i look at them and it's like i don't know them at all... it is so sad to me to feel as if i have lost them in this crazy world because i used to be able to go to them whenever i felt like but now its just like wow.. i dont know if i can or not because i just feel as if that connection isnt there anymore... now don't get me wrong they are still a very important part of my life and not a day goes by that i dont think and pray for this person its just not the same as it used to be.. and im not blaming them because i know that i haven't been the best person to come to with problems or anything really here lately i'm just sad.. sad that i wasn't the friend that i should have been and sad that it might never be the same way it used to be....i know that if i ever needed them they would be there for me and i for them its just hard to actually admit it and i think that all this time that is all i really needed to do. i need to be honest and try to fix things and not make them worse... i just don't know how to do it..

So for now i pray. I pray that God will help me to be a better friend and be a better person not only for my friends but for my son. I need to teach him that you treat others the way that you would like to be treated i was taught that my whole life growing up but i think somewhere i lost it and i needed to be reminded.. I want to teach my son that everyone is equal in this world and that no matter the situation you should always try to do the right thing and if you don't know what is the right thing then pray. Pray to God for the guidance that will lead you down the right path because with God leading the way you will never be lead wrong. I pray for my son to know that his father and i love him very much and that we will always try to do anything and everything in our power to give him the world and more. I need to teach him all of the things that i have forgotten and have found out the hard way.. I want him to be the best kind of person that he can be. I love him with all of my heart and i always will..shew ok now that i have cried til i can't hardly see to type this i think this is a good place to end for now.. thanks for reading :)

Fact of Life

There comes a time in everyone's life where they drift away form those who are closest. It is just a fact of life. It doesn't mean that you love those people any less or that you won't always be there for those people. It just means that you are all growing in your own ways and not everyone can grow at the same pace. I know for me I started growing up faster as soon as i hit high school age. I fell in love with the man of my dreams my freshman year. He went on to join the military and it went from being a normal teenage girl with a boyfriend to i never get to see him, he is in a completely different state and i didn't care i knew that he was the one for me and that it didn't matter how long it took for us to be back together again i would wait. And wait i did. :) My husband and i got married when i was 17 years old he was 19. He spent our whole first year of marriage in Iraq. He didn't get to see me graduate from high school and we didn't see each other for a total of 11 months straight. I am now 19 and we are expecting our first baby boy. It's amazing how much life can change in a couple of years. Life changes and people change it's just how this world goes. I know that i have some amazing friends that i will have for life because it doesn't matter how long we go with out talking or seeing each other because i know we all dont talk or see each other as much as we once did, but that doesn't we don't care enough about each other it just means we have a life and it's a hectic life that we all live.

I know that i haven't stayed in touch with all of my friends from home, but like i said it doesn't mean that i love them any less or don't think about them daily. I am starting a new chapter in my life where i will have not only myself to worry about but my family too. My husband and my baby boy are my first priorities, and i hope people understand im not trying to be mean when i say things like that. I am simply just stating the change and the fact of my life now. And i know not everyone understands the way i feel because they are in a different stage in their life and hopefully with time they will understand. For now im going to try my best to stay in touch with the people that i love and pray that is enough.

The "C" Word.

Cancer. I hate the word. I hate everything about it. I hate how this one word has destroyed so many lives and families. I hate that it has and is effecting my family. We learned yesterday that my mom has skin cancer. The good news is it's the Basil Cell (sp?) it's supposed to be a good thing if you have it because it's the easiest to get rid of. I don't care it's still cancer. UGH!

My dad had cancer when i was younger, Lymphoma, it was on his jaw. The tumor he had was as big as a lemon and he had to have radiation therapy after they took it out. I remember watching my dad, the strongest, most amazing man go through the radiation and it was horrible. I remember that he had to eat baby food because the radiation had burned the inside of his mouth so much that it hurt to eat anything else. He also lived off of pop-sicles. Cancer did this to him. It wasn't easy on any of us but we got through it as a family and a strong family we are! :) I love my dad he is an amazing man! :)

Now for my mom's cancer it will be different. She will have it burned off and that will be the end of it Thank the Lord. But it will scar and it's in a place that people will be able to see so i think that bothers her the most. :( My mom is an amazing woman, she is my best friend, i know we had our ups and downs through teenage years but i think that just made us closer in a way.. She has always been my number one fan and she has always been there for me in support and encouragement. am a very lucky girl to have been blessed with two parents who gave me everything i ever asked for and then some. I know that i haven't been the perfect daughter and yet they love me anyway. Not alot of people can say that they have two loving parents and i am so glad that i can. So this skin cancer that my mom has cannot bring us down we will fight it as a family and she will be ok! :) Please pray for my family as we go through this time, its not easy but God will get us through it!

Bucket List

So i have been thinking about writing this for a while, a bucket list that is. :) I have so many things that i want to do in my life that i don't know if it will happen but to have some sort of motivation would help me out alot!! SOOO Here Goes!

  • Travel to anywhere and every where! There are so many places that i want to see! Grand Canyon, Washington DC, Alaska, Niagara Falls! i mean this world is a huge place why not enjoy what God has blessed us with?! :)
  • Have a family! I know that we are already doing this but i know that i want more than one child! So i will just put that! haha
  • Go to a Carolina Panthers game!
  • Go to a Atlanta Braves game!
  • Spend as much time with family and friends as possible!
  • Try and be the "bigger person" when it comes to events that happen in my life. No more stupid fights and useless name callings.
  • Tell the people i love that i love them every chance i get!
  • Swim with a Dolphin!
  • Go fishing in the sea!
  • Try and be the best wife that i can be, every day.
  • Read my Bible all the way through. this one seems to be the hardest one for me, which makes me really mad at my self cause i LOVE to read so why can't i read the one book that will answer all my questions and lead me through the right path?? i dont have an answer but im going to try my hardest to do this!
  • Pray. i pray, but i dont pray near as much as i can or should. I want to be able to pray about everything!
  • Figure out what i want to be...like figure out a career for me. hmm this one is going to be hard!! haha
I know this isn't that long but im sure i will be adding things as i can think of them.

Better

So things have taken a turn for the better in the past couple of days! Thank the Lord! :) Jason finally sold his Jeep and now has the truck that he has been wanting!! and we will be saving about 200 dollars a month which is AMAZING! cause we need it!! God has blessed us this past week with some answered prayers!

I was reading my friend's blog and realized that it's such an amazing time in my life right now. I am blessed and i know i have said this before but i don't think that you can Praise God enough! He truly has blessed me in my short 19 years. I am eternally grateful! Some of my previous posts have been nothing but negativity and i have realized that i don't need to feel this way! I really am ready to meet my little guy and i have prayed daily that today is that day, but God is telling me to wait and to be patient. (which He knows im not good at doing haha) He will send me my little boy in due time, and sure i wish that time was like right this second! haha but it will happen soon. I have about 2 weeks til my due date and i really do hope and pray it is before then i will wait and try to be patient because i know that i cannot control this and it is ALL IN HIS HANDS!! So please pray for me to have the patience that i need and to have my baby boy born safely into the world!!

blllaaaahhhhh....

This describes the way i feel right now.... I would much rather not be around people and i definitely hardly ever want to leave the house! I am HUGE for one. and two i just do not feel like it. Don't get me wrong being pregnant is the most amazing thing that i have ever done in my life, but i am so ready to be able to stand up without have pains shoot through my back and hips... At our last doctor's appt my doctor looked at Hubby and said "ok, mommy here is going to be getting very cranky the best thing for you to do is just make sure she is comfortable and don't stress her or invite alot of people to come over to the house." I just kinda laughed because at that time my pain and what not was manageable but i COMPLETELY understand what she was saying now. I feel like every time i hear a person's voice whom i would rather not talk to it drives me INSANE!! and if Jason and i go out or anything i am ready to go back home ASAP. I really just don't think i should be around people right now......ugggggghhhhhhh.... ok sorry i am whining but...really you would not understand unless you have been where i am.. haha :)

Full Moon

So today is the day.. it is the day of the Full Moon.
I am praying so hard that my baby boy decides to come today it's not even funny! I am in so much pain that i didn't think was possible he is sitting so low that all of his weight pushes down on my hips and oh my goodness it is unbelievably ridiculous pain! Everyone keeps saying oh he will come when he is ready.. well of course you can say that people! you are not the one carrying the boy! Sheesh! And i have been so crabby here lately I just do not want to talk to anyone or have anyone look at me the wrong way cause i might go crazy on them! UGH! i hate feeling this way and i am just so ready to have him in my arms! I know that once he gets here and everything is said and done i will be so grateful and not have a care in the world and i know that all of this will be worth it, but i want that feeling now!!!!! phew!

OH AND! I cannot stand people who only think of themselves. I know that i am not the most giving person and i admit that but when it comes down to it i would try and help anyone who is in trouble. Especially family and friends! I just do not understand why there are certain people who seem to think that they are such great people and they really aren't! UGH! ok i think i am feeling much better and now i want to try and coax this little boy out of me so im going to go do laundry and clean some more! :)

Thankful

I know that i have pretty much failed the 30 day blog thing... but that's alright.. HAHA

I want to take a minute and write about all of the things i am Thankful for in my life.

I am thankful that God has saved my soul and forgiven me of my sins. I know i am not perfect but i am trying daily to walk in the path that He has for me.

I am thankful that i have such an amazing husband! He works so hard to provide for me. He truly is my knight in shining armor.

I am thankful that i am pregnant with the most precious gift that God has given to Hubby and I. We cannot wait to meet our little baby boy.

I am thankful that i have such amazing parents who gave me the best childhood and love that any kid could ask for.

I am thankful for two brothers! We don't talk all the time but i love them and i know that they love me too!!

I am thankful that i have true friends that i will always have no matter what life throws at us. Gina, Jessica, Katie and Jordan you all are amazing. We have grown so much in the past 5 years of our lives and we will continue to grow with each other in our own special little ways. :)

I am such a blessed person to have everything in my life that i have. A great husband who is also my best friend, a great family who i could not have gotten this far without, and great friends who support me no matter what may happen. This is the meaning of life to me. I am so richly blessed by God's love for me. I am so glad to have Him to talk to and to have my prayers answered by Him.

TO MUCH TO HANDLE!

So i found out today that my dad has been diagnosed with a disease called Lupus. It's a chronic inflammatory disease..whatever that means...
I just know that he can't be in the sun, and if he does go in the sun then he has to have like long sleeve shirts on and pants and wide brimmed hats. so it's pretty much like he is allergic to the sun. :(
And if you know me than you know that i am a huge daddy's girl. My dad has been my super hero my whole life. I mean he has beaten cancer and then he went through the fluid around his heart and now this, i mean he just can't catch a break. I really just need prayers right now and so does my whole family...
Thank you all so much.

Growing up..

It was 11:30 on a Thursday night, my husband and I were already dead asleep, my phone went off and it was a text message from a friend back home. They were all out having a good time and I was already in bed and had been for a couple of hours. This is when I realized that I am growing in such a different way then all of my friends from back home. I know that now is kind of late to be seeing this but it just hit me like a ton of bricks. I understand how they are feeling. I know they want to go out late at night not have a care in the world and that is exactly what they should be doing! But im married and have a baby on the way. I guess what im trying to say is that i hope that all of my friends realize that my life is now forever changed and i will not be able to just pick up and go somewhere at 10 o'clock at night. I will have to plan things and know what exactly is going on. I know that being married and having a baby doesn't mean that my world is ending on the contrary i believe my world is just starting. I can't wait to hold my baby boy in my arms and know the love that my mom has for me.

I guess what i am trying to say is that i hope that when we do move back home that my friends realize that i won't be able to do everything that they do. I realize that there will be some controversy over this but it's ok. I am going to do what is right for my marriage and my child because my husband and son are the most important people in the world to me...

Wednesday, August 11, 2010

OK so i have been slacking
well i don't really think i have been slacking its more
like i am getting ready for this child to get here
we went to the hospital yesterday to get checked out and make
sure that it wasn't time yet cause i had some funny feelings..haha
but everything is good and i will be 35 weeks pregnant tomorrow! which
means 2 weeks from tomorrow he will be "full term"!!!
I am so excited and ready to be able to hold him and love on him
and see what he looks like. I really can't wait plus im ready to not get up
to go pee every five minutes of the day! Hubby is also ready
to hold his little boy! I am so lucky to have such an amazing husband
and he is going to be such a great daddy!

As i am writing this I feel as if i have changed and grown
so much in the past couple of years. September is going to be a huge month
of big happenings. Our 2 year wedding anniversary!
Our baby boy being born! It's crazy!
If you would have told me when I was first starting high school
that i would be married my senior year and then the next year
i would be having a baby i would have been like wow you are INSANE!
but here i am! and i am happy as i could be!!!

Day 05:
A picture of somewhere you have been...

I have been to a lot of places in my life..and i can only think of one place that i will always feel at home, and that is the mountains! One of the coolest hikes i have been on was one that was never planned it just kind of happened! My sister and i hiked Chimney Rock in flip flops i might add!! It was pretty amazing!



Friday, August 6, 2010

DAY 04:
What is a habit that you wish you didn't have?

Hmm well I think the habit that I have that I wish i didn't have would probably be
that i wish i didn't get mad so easily. Like i don't know if that is a "habit" but it something
about my self that i wish that i could change. I have gotten better over the
years but im still not where i want to be. I guess it's more of i wish i didn't care what people said. I really wish i had the ability to hear that someone has said something about me or my friends or family and let it just roll off my back without me taking it to heart.
i guess in a way that it is a good thing that i take up for myself, my family, and my friends but i guess i wish that i could do it without getting completely ticked off and just be all in your face about it... But it is a part of what makes me who i am..

Thursday, August 5, 2010

DAY 03:
A picture of you and your friends!



These are the girls that i can count on to always be there for me.
I am very blessed in the fact that i have more then one
best friend. We have our moments and there used to be more
then just us 5 but things happen and life changes. I wouldn't trade anything
for the friends that I have.


Wednesday, August 4, 2010

DAY 02:
Ok so day number two has arrived and i still remembered to do this! Woohoo! Lets hope i keep this up!!
So the meaning behind the name of my blog is pretty self
explanatory I do believe. I mean my life is one big adventure i never know
what is going to happen next.
Especially having a husband in the army.
We can never plan things and if we do plan something those plans can always change.
It is a never ending cycle...
So my life is an adventure and i like having it that way.

On another note...
I thought that i was going into labor last night! AHH!
I was kinda hoping and praying that i was but ended up not being
time quite yet. I am ready to hold and love on my precious little boy.
But like i said i never know what is going to happen next so i guess we will see when
he decides to make his appearance!!

Tuesday, August 3, 2010

Been a While but.. here we go!

DAY 01:

6) I have two older brothers. Daniel and David are my older brothers. They were always my "protectors" growing up. (even though most of the time it was their fault i got hurt haha)

7) I should really be grateful to my brother, David, because he introduced me to my amazing husband Jason!!

8) I have two dogs Daisy and Bella. We rescued Daisy and she is the sweetest little Beagle in the world, and then there is Bella my Chihuahua, she is a little spoiled.. but i love them both!!

9) Jason and I have been married for almost two years, but we only saw each other for two months out of twelve for the first year. He was deployed to Iraq, possibly the hardest thing that i have been through.

10) I cannot wait to be back in the mountains! I love being close to the beach and being somewhere new, but the mountains will always be home.

Getting Started..

Okie Dokie. I have been wanting to start a blog for a little while now. So I'm starting today! I am 26 weeks pregnant with our little boy who, i can already tell, will be an active little guy once he enters the world. I am not complaining about him kicking and turning because i am LOVING every second of this pregnancy. GOD has blessed me with so much in my short 19 years of life! I can't wait to meet my little boy face to face! :)

Jason is of course still in the Army for now but hopefully this time next year we will be moved back home. I am so proud of my husband and amazed at how much he has accomplished in the time that i have known him. He is truly a great person with nothing but kindness and love in his heart. He is wanting to be a State Trooper so please pray that he can make it! He is of course loving every second of this pregnancy too, he talks to Brayden all the time and is so understanding with all of the crazy hormones and mood swings i go through. Again he is truly an amazing man.

As for our little fur babies, Daisy and Bella are doing great! After a huge scare with Daisy she is doing so much better. Bella is of course spoiled and rotten as ever haha! We fenced our backyard in finally so they have room to run and play! I think they enjoy it even if it's too hot for them to stay out very long.

But for now I believe that is all that i can think of. :)
