The perfect thing to make you smile in the morning!

Left Behind

FML. I finally found a great guy that rocked my world and he leaves for Afghanistan. I'm trying to hang in there... but damn. This sucks! Its hard to even have fun anywhere. I'm always secretly sad, cuz I wish he was with me. He'll be back sometime in late Sept or early Oct. But already ppl are asking me if he will be going on another deployment! WTF? Can't I just look forward to him coming back.

Honestly, I used to hate on military wives. I'd see those stickers that say "the hardest part of the Marine Corps is being a Marine Wife" and I'd want to gag. I was like "gimme a break!" But wow... over the last month I have realized that it is much easier to leave, than be left behind. Goodness! The only thing that really keeps me sane is thinking about the day when he will come back. How happy I will be.

.... and I chose this picture for sentimental value. He came to me at a point in my life that was VERY difficult... and was my "protector" =)

I MISS YOU TIMMY!

SeaWorld @ Night

Before I start lemme apologize for these awful pictures, (I wonder if
the Sidekick II takes better pictures than the LS?) my camera's battery
ran dead so I only had my phone. But it was awesome. Energetic, tons of
kids, place was packed. I recommend for everyone to check it out. The
only disappointing thing (for me) was leaving with a sense of sadness
for the whales who were taken from the wild and brought there. I'm
surprised they haven't had more attacks from those whales. A large,
wild, beautiful killer like that could never truly be content living in
a pool after its had a taste of freedom. And now its too late to return
them to the wild... ... ... I wonder why there is not an international
law forbidding the capture of any whale for any purpose other than
rescue. If they breed them in captivity that's one thing, but most of
them were not. Most of them were purchased from Orca Hunters. Shame
Shame... But... ... the show was nice =P

RIP Marvin Joshua Hodges

Friday I found out that one of my oldest and closest friends died. He
was only 25. He was one of the best people I have ever know. His heart
was close to God, and was the type of man who would do anything for
anyone. They say the good die young... but its just not fair. I'm doing
okay... but just trying to figure out why God would let him die. He just
graduated, wanted to be a pastor... he had so much more to do. He would
have touched so many more lives... he was the best of us...

Rest In Peace My Friend... I will see you again in paradise. I love you.
Have always loved you. You will be missed.

Almost An Auntie

Last weekend I went to visit my sister in Vegas. She is about to have
her first baby any day =] I know I have other nieces and nephews, but
none from siblings that I actually grew up with. So this feels like I am
going to be an Aunt for the first time! I am SO used to being the one in
the hospital having the baby while everyone else gets to "enjoy" the
outcome. Lol, how refreshing to finally be on the other side. I'm gonna
try to get out there next weekend too. Hopefully she will hv her baby
then. The plan is to take Christian to Circus, Circus... if that goes
down, I will definitely post pictures and a longer blog. MUAH!!
