He

He wasn't my first crush. He wasn't my first kiss or my first date. He wasn't the first one to wish me a Happy Valentines Day or win me a teddy bear at the fair. He didn't take me to prom or homecoming. He wasn't my stalker in college.
He was the first one to kiss me good night. He was my first real valentines date. He was the first to show me what it is to be the best me. The first to look at me the way only your truest companion can. He was the fist to dance with me in the middle of the aisle of Walmart. To ask me to be his girl friend next to the medicine aisle in Kroger. He was the one who showed me what God meant by loving one unconditionally. To be the father of my children and to go on the adventure of  a lifetime.
I love him. He is my husband.

Stolen idea

So maybe its because I actually wrote something yesterday and then was prompted to read other blogs today but I have decided to post again today. Still haven't come to a final decision on the ending of this blog but until I have why not post this fun Get to Know Me that I saw on a friends blog.

Just a disclaimer I am posting this because its fun and because as I read through hers I realized how much my own answers have changed since I last filled one of these out.


Meet ME!! Q&A

Favorite Fruit:I love Mangos. Seriously I could eat them every day. Especially yellow mangos. I wished we lived in Hawaii so I could have my own mango tree. ( I realize you can have mango trees in other areas then Hawaii but I loved that they just go wild there and plus Hawaii is gorgeous!)

Favorite Sentimental Movie:  Not sure if this counts but I like Stranger Than Fiction

Favorite Cheesy Horror Movie: I am not a fan of horror films cheesy or otherwise. So I got nothing for ya on this one. Mainly because normal horror films are to scary and cheesy ones just seem pointless. If I wanna be scared all I have to do is watch something on I.D (investigative discovery) and can get frightened by the sounds that echo through my house. 

Favorite Album: not sure. probably the mix Ryan made me that I listened to on the flight to his house Christmas Eve (the day before we got engaged) mainly because of the memories and though put into the album.

Favorite Book: Right now: The Hunger Games series so good

Whats the point...

Ok so a couple weeks ago I read a friends blog, well I should say I read her blog and about four other blogs in the course of about two days, and I found myself asking why I even bother writing on this thing. I don't have a whole lot of time, I cannot articulate things the way many others can and to be honest I am wondering how important it is for me to share my thoughts for a few friends who follow me and maybe some strangers who happen to stumble upon this thing. I originally started because I was on the missions field and it was a great way for me to communicate with friends and family without bombarding them with email after email. Then I thought as I moved out to Nashville and away from a lot of my friends in San Diego it would help stay up with them. I mean lets be honest, if you know me you know I am horrible at writing, calling, texting etc. So for me this was going to be my "gift" to my friends and family. An attempt to communicate better than I ever had and a way to share random stories just like you if we were hanging out together.
Alas I have failed miserably. I did ok when single and then married. I even had a good run when Lily and I got into a normal routine, but now I find myself pregnant a second time, mother of a toddler, teaching dance 4 to 6 times a week and loving on my husband (to name a few things). And honestly I feel wore out. I want to write my thoughts, I want to share with friends and family all the little crazy stories that have happened, but either they aren't happening the same way to used to or I just don't' have the same drive to sit and write out my thoughts for all to read.
So in that I am thinking of closing this blog and going back to old fashion journal writing. A place where I need not be concerned about grammar and who may or may not be reading what Im writing. I can say things without being concerned that it will hurt someones feelings and still leave a history of my life for my children to read in the future.
So this may be it. Im letting you know now so that if you are one of those readers you aren't surprised in the near future if this completely disappears. And if you are a friend or family member who really enjoys the random entries I had on this webpage, well drop me a line or give me a call and I will just read you my journal. :)
