What IS that???


It's a crutch. This flat, cheap boring pillow isn't worth too much but it smells just like Erik. I'm down to my last shirt that he wore when he was home on R&R...so he better hurry and bring his super sexy butt back to me!!!

Consequences of a Love Sick heart!!!

Disclaimer:
Not responsible for any thoughts of ickyness that may arise while reading this; some might say that it's just not normal the way our love consumes every ounce of me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

7 years may not seem all that long for a marriage, but in this day and age, and not to mention our situation, I think we are doing pretty great as a couple. Erik still amazes me every single day with his complete devotion. His intimidating exterior is definitely a shell that holds a heart so big only the luckiest of people have the honor of experiencing. Don't let my words fool you though, hurt the ones he loves and you will be very sorry.
What's so great about him you say? Well, for starters, how much he gets (to) me. Erik sees things in me that I don't even realize are there. He sees me for me: the beautiful, the good, the disgusting, the insecure and everything else that no one in the world can handle, or would want to for that matter. He's not a rich man, but he fufills my life with all the things God wanted every person to have. Love and happy are just mere words that don't even come close to measuring up to what I feel knowing that this amazing man thinks of me as his one and only.
We have gone through so many things together and we have tried our very best to build a strong foundation for our kids. Each and every day that passes that we can't be in eachother's arms makes me realize even more how much I need him in my life. He makes me a better person and always brings me back down to reality when
I start to look for my soapbox. He's real with me and he isn't afraid to hurt my feelings. Erik has shown me what it is to be able to trust someone whole heartedly. The challenges we have faced and got through together have made us so much stronger and no matter how hard or long they may have been I am so thankful that we went through them. Distance and time are no match for what we have.
I wish for everyone to be able to find that special someone. I truly believe that our souls were destined to be mates. If we hadn't met the way we did our hearts would have eventually found eachother...we were serendipitously created for one another.
Thank you for letting me pour my lonely hearted confessions out on this screen...and to my one true love, my guino...thank you for loving me the way only you can!!! I love you...now and for all eternity!!!

On this day in 2009...

I've been toiling with the idea of starting a blog for a little while now, thanks Annie, and I've finally succumb to my temptations. Even though my life may not be interesting to anyone except the wide eyed children I have the privilege of waking up to every morning and tucking in every night, I thought that today of all days would be so fitting to start a compilation of my thoughts. So to those who would like to tour my brain...continue on!!! I'm watching live while on a grassy knoll thousands of miles from here history is being made, whether I like it or agree with it or not. For better or worse our nation will forever see change. I, like many others have so many reservations about the upcoming years we are facing and as I watch the former president gracefully float off into the distance I want to bid him farewell and thanks. Even though Mr. Bush led my beloved into a warzone, where he was nearly taken from us, I salute him for having the courage to do just that and to continue to hold his head up when a great deal of America turned their backs on this decision they may have once supported.

And so it's done...it's official. The required documents are signed and we are now in the hands of someone who's decisions I probably will not trust. Still....I'm thankful for being alive during this historic moment and will continue to count my blessings because no matter who the president is this country will perservere and I will always be apart of it, even if in the tiniest form.

God Bless us all...and thank you for all the men and women who's lives we take for granted when we put all our hope into one man.
