Here We Gooo..

Before Alex, which you should know is my husband ;), I was going through a little rebel stage. I was finely free of a jackass guy and having fun for once in my life. My daily scheduled consisted of going to work as a server then coming home, getting ready and going out. Normal teenage life pretty much. I was fixing friendships I had lost and just having fun. I started talking to a guy I've known and we started dating. A few months down the road, he would talk about his friend coming home from basic and how there would be bunch of parties. So of course I was down, partying was kind of the thing to do to have fun. Halloween 2008 I will never forget. I remember working a double and getting off of work heading home. I was talking to my brother on the phone, saying I needed to renew my tags and then I got pulled over for them :(. A bit ironic if I do say so myself haha. Fast forward to a few hours later, I walked into the party and saw Alex dressed in his ACU'S and thought, "Wow he's hot". A few rounds of beer pong, and a few shots later I couldn't help but flirt with him all night. Yea I know what you're thinking, what about the other guy? It was honestly a fall in love at first sight kinda thing. I couldn't care less if no one believes in it, but I do - it happened to me. Anytime there was a chance I could hang out with him, I would be there. I would have the guys come over to my apartment just to hang out and play beer pong almost everynight. I would make any excuse just to try to spend time with Alex. Finally one night we were alone and he ended up calling me out saying he knows I like him and I tried to play it off, but it was waaay too obvious. But he did tell me how he felt and ever since then, we really have been inseparable. The day he left for Fort Riley, Ks was horrible. I broke it off with the other guy because I knew I didn't care for him anymore and it wasn't working out. Alex and I wanted to be together and I would do whatever it took to make it happen. The night before he left we were together and I remember laying there saying, "let's get married, I'll run away with you to Kansas." It started as a joke and ended up being a serious consideration that turned into reality. His dad took it well, my mom told me to take a nap to make sure I was sure and his mom wasn't too happy. Obviously you all know how it went because two weeks ago was our second wedding anniversary :D. We had plenty of people put their two cents in and we just shrugged them off. It won't work, you guys wont last, blah blah blah. Guess what? Three moves, one deployment and two years later, we are still standing strong, happily in love.


*I don't want to write just one long post so I will leave it like that until I have time to add more. keep whoever wants to read this in suspense ;)

Starting Off

Where oh where do I start?? Just so you all know I'm not going to just write a blog about how beautiful the sky is today or how cold it is. I'm going to try really hard to make them somewhat meaningful or more likely interesting. I would like this blog to be able to show me growing as a young lady into a woman so to speak. I want it to show some obstacles in my life, as well as the moves I have had to endure. I've also come into new hobbies such as baking and cooking. I will post recipes that I have found, that I have known about, and ones that have been given to me (credit will be given to such people). The blog will just be about my life, how crazy these two years have been since I have been married to an amazing man :). As well as the changes and completely different life I would of never had of guessed for me in a million years. It is crazy how you think you know how you want your life then you are shown a different way and couldn't be any happier with that decision. So this is my story of my life and how it is just getting started with many, many more wonderful adventures to arise.
