This is my favorite place on you...

(weheartit)

I love laying on your shoulder. There isnt a time I fall asleep more easily.

You make me feel safe. You make me feel loved when you turn to me and kiss my forehead before drifting off to sleep.

It's the little things you do that make me love you more and more every day.

Our relationship is so new. And I am so excited for the next thing that you will do to prove to me that it is possible to love you more.

There's so much time for us to fall even more in love. I can't wait.

Thank you for being the one to prove to me that all men aren't the same.

Thank you for being proud that I am your girl.

Thank you for holding me when I cry.

For being my backbone when I am weak.

Thank you for loving my children.

For supporting me as a mommy when times get tough with them.

For reminding me that there is no perfect mom, and that I really am doing the best that I can...because it's really easy to forget that sometimes.

Every night you hold me, every kiss I get, every "I love you" said is better than the last.

Thank you for loving me for who I am, not who you want me to be or who you think I should be.

I hope we are continually able to redefine love when the new relationship chills wear off.

That when we are in a dark tunnel that we fight until we get to the light at the end.

Thank you for giving to me as much as you take from me.

For going out of your way for me, as I do for you.

For being as thoughtful about things as I am for you.

You truly are one of a kind.

I hope you know just how amazing you are.

<3>

(this is the edited version...I feel it more appropriate...but by all means...look on youtube for the original!)

No I don't care if you change your opinion of me because I support gay marriage. Your loss. :)

October 20th, ROCK THE PURPLE...FOR THIS CAUSE.

You make me feel...like I'm living a...teenage dream

So...being that I am 24 with one failed marriage under my belt already, I felt my odds of finding love were bleak because of:

a) my 2 kids (which I adore, but some guys do not - and those guys are NOT worth my time)

-or-

b) I would not be able to let someone in for a long time

Incorrect.

I just want to share a little excerpt from a conversation my boyfriend and I were having the other day. I was having a rough day and one of those, "I don't understand how it's possible for you to love me as much as you do." insecurity moments...because he's badass, sometimes I wonder if he is for real. I'm so lucky as a mommy with 2 kids to have someone who loves my kids as much as he loves me.

Alright...here's the quote.

"I love that everytime I tell you that I love you, I still get knots in my stomach as if it is the first time I'm saying it to you."

::sigh::

I thought boys like him only existed in chick flicks.

He's real. He's awesome. He's mine. <3

Correct me if I am wrong...

...but aren't I supposed to be wearing shorts in May? Not walking out to my car on Saturday morning and seeing this in the front yard?

{Yes, that would be snow}


Is California the only state (well maybe Florida) where shorts are necessary in May? I mean SHEESH! Luckily I am going home to visit in a little less than a month. EEEEEEEK!

The best part, is that my little sister doesn't know. We're surprising her for her elementary school graduation :)

Cant wait!!! :-)

First though, gotta get through finals this week. Chemistry is the one I am nervous about. Wish me luck!!

So far, its still pretty brown, but I am realizing that while the grass may not be greener on the other side, there is a way to take it upon yourself to nurture it, help it grow, and make it greener.

This new chapter in my life has by far been the hardest page to turn. With many critics yelling into my ears from all angles, I have to look within myself to find the strength I need to get through this alone, because no one will be able to give me strength more than me.

With the friends who have shown their faces in my time of need by my side, holding my hand and giving me a shoulder to cry on, and being my sounding board to bounce off of, I will get through this.

I will not fall victim to my comfort zone, and I will not succomb to the pressures of those who I thought were my friends but have proven otherwise.

Oh yeah, and I am going to pray a lot. :)

Enjoy All!!!

I forgot to tighten my bra straps after wearing my strap perfect...

...and they keep falling off of my shoulders. FML.

I always have good words of wisdome for friends. I never try to sway someone's opinion one way or another, but I am pretty good at giving someone an objective opinion to any situation. ::Insert chuckles about Mike from Jersey Shore::::GTL!::

So my question, to myself, and anyone else like me...WHY CAN'T I EVER HELP MYSELF?!

I am trying to step outside of my situation ::giggle:: and be objective, and here's how it is actually helping...

<3 I am being completely honest with myself and anyone I talk to about this.
<3 I know that some of the things I am feeling and thinking are right and completely justified
<3 I know that some of the things that I am feeling and thinking are wrong.

...but I still don't know what to do... Like when I posted on my facebook about "The grass on the other side ever staying greener." No one seemed to think that it does, but I can't imagine that it's any worse on the other side in some situations...now to determine whether I want to tend to the grass on the side I am on, or jump the fence, pull the weeds, and plant fresh grass and make that greener...

I mean I believe you create your own happiness...so now, I just have to make a decision.

Wish me luck.

Love!

PS: Life, feel free to ease up on me...but only if you want to.

I havent posted in eleventy billion years!/Random Review

Weather in Minnesota: Current: 28, foggy. Forecasted: 34, snow showers
Weather at home: Current 38, sunny (it's also 6:45 am there). Forecasted: 63, Mostly sunny.

I have missed my favorite blogs so...

Now that I am up to date on Tough Crowd, MODG, Made You Blush, (flash) pasteurized, and blicious, etc. (just go see my sidebar, they're all good reads, so go...read them.)

Basically, I went back to school {eeeeee!!] on the 11th, and it is amazing how much I feel at home when I am at school. I love it so much, even though I am taking Chemistry. FML. But that's okay. Im at school...I don't even care what it's for.

I was so excited that on the day before school started I was walking around the house with my backpack on. Haha, Yes I know that might qualify me as a loser, but nonetheless.

{My pack-pack -as my little sis used to call it}

{Its so cool, that I had to take picture of it with my phone because I couldn't find one online!}

But anyway, I am taking Chem and Sociology. This summer I am trying to take one more science class, then I get to apply for my major. I'm so excited, but have so much anxiety about not getting in!

Anywho, as much as I love/miss blogging I have no time anymore! I want to do it as much as I can to gain followers and become a follower and have a place for an outlet, but 2 jobs, school, studying for school, and 2 kids leave me little time.

I hope everyone is doing well!!

Love!

PS - Short random review, because I am so excited. I love having curly hair...but my hair has always been such a bitch to curl. BUT I found a product that actually helps my curls form and stay in, and it smells good!

Its Kenra Thermal Styling spray. I love it. It works for me and my stubborn hair! (Stubborn to stay curled at least!) It's also a thermal protectant, so it's good for straightening your hair too! I got it at Ulta. :)

B's Random Review

Okay, so I have decided to randomly tell you guys when I find a product that I love. I actually have a lot on the list, so I will have to figure out some sort of pattern of how/when to put them up so that I don't run out of things too quickly. Haha.




SO obvs my first post was about that Burt's Bee's tinted chapstick that i LOOOVE.




Next in line, the Motorola version of the Droid.


Let me start by saying that this will be the Valley Girl version of a review, I don't claim to be a electronics nerd, I'll leave that technical stuff to CNet, thanks.


so THE DROID!

(Cnet.com)

Okay, so I know it isn't much to look at, which is why I opted for the Blackberry Tour at first. After I heard of all its capabilities, I took the plunge and traded it in for the Droid. The good news is, you can make it decently cute by putting on a snap-on case; mine looks more like this now:

It is much more bearable to look at with the cute pink case on it :)






Okay so my instant thoughts were: this is SO similar to the iPhone, but is better because of the full keyboard. It also seems to have a lot of similar apps available as the iPhone. (Including Yelp, the Level, YouTube, Shazam, Twitter applications, various bar code scanners, email, etc.)

The touch screen is actually SUPER-nicely calibrated, and makes it easy to type on the touch screen, which was my biggest concern coming to this phone from the Blackberry.

My favorite apps on MY Droid are:
*Voice Guided turn-by-turn navigation, no additional cost.
*Movie soundboard of The Hangover
*Bar Code Scanner
*Yelp
*Flixter Movies app (shows closest theaters, the times listed under the movies and a direct link to the movie trailer which plays immediately and in nice quality considering it's a phone)
*A ringtone maker where you can upload songs onto your phone, and make ringtones out of them using this app (on your phone...not the computer)
*TFLN (Texts from last night)
*FMylife
*Random Chuck Norris facts
**The apps listed above that the iPhone also has are all amazing too!**

Its has all the normal things a phone these days does; Camera, Video Camera, Internet (I love the internet on this phone)

So all in all, I DO miss my blackberry for the BBM, but the Droid is a pretty good pick I say. No problems with it yet...so I recommend it if you're thinking about buying it!!

LOVE!
