Keep Calm One Proud Army Sister.

So today my one and only youngest brother has left for his training not sure if he is coming home for a weekend but in a couple weeks or so my little brother will be off in deployment and for a while in didn't hit me or not going to cry but it's hit me and I cry a little thinking about it. I have a lot of feelings one I'm a little happy because I get my house back for a bit withmy fiancé but I will miss seeing Aaron or saying good morning or just play fighting or having our spats. This is the longest I will not have my little brother around it's hard, but I'm gonna try and stay strong because I know that's what he wants me to do. Aaron if you read this I love you and you keep your head up and stay strong. I will have a nice cooked meal for you and Oreo balls when you come back!!

2015 Goals

Hey you guys so I know I'm very bad at keeping blogs, but here I am back at it again typing what my 2015 goals are going to be my first goal is working on getting married to the man I love the most we have been engaged and i think what we want is to go ahead and get married and make it official. My second goal would be working on blogging and making YouTube videos of myself maybe life or just things I like and videos with my best friends. My third goal is workout and work on my figure I want to look healthier and love my body and myself. My fourth goal is to get myself and house clean and organized. Fifth goals parents are wanting to move up to South Carolina near me and my goal is to help them and get them up here. My last goal is to do a different career that I will love and enjoy and maybe even get myself in school. I feel like it's a lot but I know if I work hard I can get all of it accomplished. This year has been so amazing to me and I have learned a lot and I really can't wait to see what 2015 has in store for me!!

To My Father!

Hello everyone so I know tomorrow is Father's Day and I feel like I need make this special blog about my wonderful Father and kinda let you know what kind of man/father/husband he truly is to me. My dad means so much to me and there is so much I could say lol I remember my mom telling me when I was born he thought I was a boy and in my mind I was like well he just got the best and only daughter he could ever have. He loved to aggravate me when I was a baby and he still does I know that will never stop. We even went through the chicken pox together when I was a baby thanks to my wonderful older brother lol. I can say I have grown up so much because of him. He taught me and brothers a lot and I will always remember him saying to always stay close with family and your brothers. Another thing I love about my dad is his stories when he was younger and things he went through and I'm proud of my dad because he has become a strong man and a fighter and believe you me there is no backing down my dad I would know lol. I'm so thankful for my dad I believe he has raised me and my brothers right I believe I'm more responsible because of him. I literally sometimes think what would my dad do or what he would say in a certain situation. Also my dad would preach a lot to me and my brothers, but you know what I will never forget them because they are definitely life lesson that make me who I am today. My dad is a great man and he is my number one always and forever. I believe that when you grow up and move away and be on your own and be a grown up you think life is easier but its not and my dad taught me that and that nothing in life is free or easy. I write this because the first time in forever I wont be able to spend time with my dad on fathers day since him and my mom live 8 hours away for me. Dad if you read this which I hope you are I love you so much and I miss you and I miss going fishing with you and def eating seafood and cooking up recipes with you. I pray for you everyday. I will always be your baby girl no matter what. I also want to say that your def the best dad a girl could ask for.

Just Keep Breathing

Hey yall so I have had a lot of time to think about my life and goals and dreams and as you can see my title for this is Just Keep Breathing its a We The Kings song and the lyrics really got to me, it's basically just saying go for your dreams goals and if you think you can't get to them just keep breathing you can do it and your not alone. Which brings me to my main subject lately I just had a lot of time to think about what I want to do with my life so as I said in my new year resolution blog I want to go back to school so I'm going to back this fall and as soon as possible I just want to really finish and work hard to get a good career job. I know my family will help me encourage me and to keep breathing till I finish my goal. Also me and Ryan as a couple decided we are going to get married at a court house or justice of the peace and just have a big celebration after when everyone can come and just have fun. I'm so ready for these big steps in my life because I'm ready for a change and just have some kind of challenge. I just want to encourage everyone to live life and go for those goals and dreams right now or first thing tomorrow don't procrastinate because you will regret it when your older. I learned so much from my parents and they always told me to go for my dreams and goals and that I can do anything I wanted and I believe them I still do I'm not going to procrastinate anymore I'm really gonna get up and go out for my goals and dreams I'm excited about this! I hope this makes anyone else feel the same way.
Also this this the We The Kings song I was talking about I hope it encourages you just as much it did me.

The Weekend

Hey you guys so this weekend has been so bittersweet for me and I will tell you why. Thursday I get a phone call while at work from my mom that my grandmother who was in a nursing home she had dementia was not eating or taking any of her medicine they didn't think she really was going to make it through the weekend. After that call I tried to stay calm I let my manager know what was going on just in case I couldn't make it to work during the weekend all that was fine after that my mind was just all over the place and just a million things on my mind. Well I got off of work I was upset you know she truly was a wonderful grandmother and the only one that lived longer than any of my other grandparents. Any who Friday had came a normal day went to work, but still in my head waiting to just get the call she had passed away still nothing came. So Saturday came I was supposed to work 2-10 that day also it was my mothers birthday so finally my mom calls me around 11am and  says she passed I was upset cried for a bit, but my mom also was telling me they are going home packing and heading straight to my house after I got off the phone with her I cried a little bit more and just running around the house with my head cut off getting my house ready and just upset and getting things off my mind. I finally started to calm down I called in to work telling them I wasn't able to come in that day or yesterday which was Sunday and what my situation was which they were okay with. Later that day my best friend who I work with came over to hang out with me and to really cheer me up which was great cause she really did cheer me up she then left and my parents arrived I was soooo happy to see them especially since the last time I saw them was after Christmas time I was just happy except for the circumstance that had happen. Me and Ryan got them settled in we showed them our new house which they loved we were also waiting for my two brothers to come over and my little brother's girlfriend who I love like a sister she brought us a meal that her and her grandma made for us which we are very thankful for and appreciate it we ate dinner and just started to reminiscing on all the old times talked about my grandma all the good things it was just fun to be around all the family that you love. Well that next day Sunday morning me and Ryan my parents got up and got ready headed towards Abbeville where my grandmother was we went to do last funeral business stuff and see my grandma one last time before they were going to cremate her. We said our goodbyes then went to see my brother's who live in Abbeville hung out for a bit then me and Ryan took my parents and older brother to our local Mexican restaurant in Laurens and they loved it so good we then went back to my house to relax till my little brother got off of work that evening. That night we headed out to Cracker Barrel me, Ryan, my mom and dad older and younger brother and my younger brother's girlfriend we had so much fun laughed and had a great time and me sitting there I realized it was a sad time that my grandmother passed she is in a better place, but I know my grandmother if she was still alive she would have wanted us to be together having fun, laughing and just enjoying life which she did everyday I believe. Today it's Monday my parents left to go back to Alabama this morning and I miss them already it was fun having them here, but it's okay me and Ryan will be heading down there in a few days can't wait. Anyways so anyone or everyone who reads this realize this when a death happens in your family its good to cry, but realize laugh and have fun with all the close family with you and reminisce and just hang out its the best medicine.
