Link-Ups and Life

WELCOME new comers and old friends alike to my blog 

I have a story that just happened to me and I want to tell you all about it.
I was sitting in the main lounge area doing some much needed chill time and homework.
As I came into the main lounge I noticed a group setting up a event it was something about suicide awareness, .. well they had some artwork displayed and one piece was offensive to me and this is what it was.
It was an orange sky background and a silhouette of a military man.  and the quote said

 "I have already decided how I'm going to kill myself if my husband doesn't come back from iraq and he doesn't leave for another 2 months."

ok so I of course saw this as an insult to all military spouses. I also thought it portrayed us women as people who already decide to kill ourselves when our men leave on deployment, I just think it gave military spouses a bad rap.  So I complained and the man in charge was very understanding when I said I would write up a complaint to my school if necessary  he promptly took the artwork down, he did not want to get tangled up with a marines girl I glad he was smart and new what was good for him. :) What do YOU think ? was I over reacting ? I was very respectful in my approach but sometimes I think I take things to seriously especially when its about military.  Living in a state that doesn't support its military much is not a easy place to live.

On to more happy news.... very excited to be apart of 2 link ups again this week. 1 from Flipflops and Combat boots and  1 from Goodnight Moon hope you enjoy 
and WELCOME to my blog world !!!

Hello all and Welcome to my blog My post today is a link up with a great lady over at Flip Flops and Combat Boots. I have done this once before and I had a great time. Hope you enjoy and head on over to her blog to link up too.

I think it is OUTSTANDING that I have an amazing girlfriend who keeps me motivated about going to the gym, Thanks Alberta!

I am so PROUD of myself for getting my head on straight again  and getting my focus back in regards to the 2nd half of this semester..(I have my work cut out for me to get things back to where they SHOULD be).

Since going to the gym 4 days a week I feel so 
ENERGIZED  and I'm so excited to see my man and have him see the self improvement I've done not only in my body but also in my self esteem. 

I think it is SPLENDID that i have great friends at college that like to be around me (new experience for me being a lone ranger and all most of my life)  Love you ladies out there Bethany, Alberta, Diane, Kelly and all you who know who you are. 

It is WONDERFUL  that my family is ok after there bad car accident today. God was looking out for them for sure. My 9 siblings walked away without a scratch, even though they hopped a ditch and ran into a telephone pole.


Thanks for reading and checking out my blog hope you have an AMAZING day.

Thursday Five




I feel Peaceful when I talk to God about my struggles, He always understands.
I  felt so Loved this week when my parents  put gas in my car, bought me some groceries and gave me a little spending money out of the blue !
I think its Awesome that spring break is so close, I definitely NEED a break so that I can catch up on normal life stuff.
I think I'm pretty Lucky to have such an AMAZING man in my life who loves me for me.
I need to remind myself that I'm Smartand that I can make it through nursing school and stop doubting my abilities.
