Day 21 - A picture of something you wish you could forget 

First off, the pic has nothing to do with what im about to say! haha its just funny

Second, There is no single event or moment or person in life that I would like to 'forget'. Everything Ive been through and everyone ive met has brought me to the place in life that I am in today. 

That being said, There are many things that I wish I could just let go of. Not the memories, but the pain and sadness of those memories. I wish I could let go and let God. I have trouble with that

Day 20 - A picture of somewhere you'd love to travel 

Venice, Italy

Day 19 - A picture of you when you were little 

Day 18 - A picture of your biggest insecurity 

My body... too bad I dont still look like this hahaha and to think I was self conscious then!

So, today was our Rx-8 meet :) 

Several weeks ago, we ordered flyers from Vistaprint! They had on them a link to a discussion topic on Rx8club.com that I started. We had seen soooo many rx8s around that we (Josh & myself) decided we wanted to do a meet & greet! Anytime we saw an rx8, we'd put a flyer on their windshield. 




The meet was at Hooters :) Delightfully tacky yet Unrefined :-p  And let me just say, I LOVE fried pickles!!


There was a pretty good turn out but we are hoping to have quite a few more next time! There were 6 rx8s there, including mine and hubby's! 






Its nice to get together and talk to people who love their car as much as you do. Most people who dont own our cars think we are a little "coo coo for Cocoa Puffs". But really, 'most' of us are just a bunch of car enthusiasts who take pride in our rotary-powered, no-torque, handles like a DREAM in corners sports cars!








Okay, FINE! Maybe we are bonkers :) 


Well, im sure most of you have no interest whatsoever in my love of cars... but thats my life folks! 


Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day!!

Day 12 - A picture of something you love 

My car! February 2nd will be her GOTCHA DAY! 

Day 11 - A picture of something you hate 

Mushrooms!!! ICK!

As I sit here while my husband gets ready for work this morning, I find myself just watching him.

Watching as he puts his uniform on. First the pants. Belt. Then the undershirt, and shirt. Followed by socks, boot blousers and finally boots. I think about how very proud I am of him. Of what he does for me, and for our Country! I think about how proud I am to be his wife. Sure, Its not easy being an Army wife. Sure, we have to make sacrifices to support the men serving our country... but I wouldn't have it any other way. I don't wish for him to be a civilian... sure, one day he will be out of the Army, but he will ALWAYS be my Soldier!

As I sat here watching him get ready for his day at work, and find myself shedding a tear. Then another, and another, and another. Sometimes I forget or take for granted how absolutely blessed I am to have my husband here with me every day. I remember that there are hundreds of Military wives or thousands even that would give ANYTHING to have their husbands home with them. So many women struggle everyday with raising their children as basically single mothers, with going to bed alone. Whether their spouse is deployed or if their soldier is fallen.. may God bless them!

From now on, I will try to live everyday as if he leaves tomorrow... I'm sure I will fail some days, probably most. But I will try to have a different outlook on life. To be thankful for what God has given me and to thank Him for that, every chance I get.

I Love you my dearest Husband. You are an amazing man and I hope to give you a life full of love and happiness. I treasure every minute I spend with you, love :)
