good life.

I was sitting here staring at the ceiling when it hit me.
                                       I have an amazing life.
I have been blessed with the most amazing group of friends & a close knit family.

Im happy.
Im protected.
Im loved.
 Im cared for.
Im appreciated.
Im truly so blessed.


Life happens.
Embrace it.




Life is to short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't. Believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it'd be easy, they just promised it'd be worth it.

I've learned that you make your happiness. No matter what life throws at you the ability to bounce back from disater is a skill i have yet to master but im working on it. You can make today, tomorrow, & the rest of your life great if you want to. It's something you have to work out it doesn't come easy but its worth. I love my life & can't wait to continue living it. Appreciating each moment, each friendship, each day. Every life has a story & every story has an ending. You've been given the beginning of your story & now it's up to you to determine what goes on in the middle, & how your story will end. I can't pin point an exact reason why im so content & happy with life right now but i hope the feeling lingers & returns back to me often. So far life has potential to be a good one.

What there is to complain about? When you're happy like a fool  let it take you over. When everything is out, you gotta take it in. Oh this has gotta be the good life. This has gotta be the good life. This could really be a good life, good life. Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight. Like this city is on fire tonight.
 This could really be a good life A good, good life.

PROUD.

I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.



Every time i see a flag ceremony being done by any branch of our armed forces it just brings me to tears and such an overwhelming feeling of pride comes over me. That simple red, white, and blue flag means so much to me. I'm so proud to be apart of this great country and have the freedoms that i have today. I am so grateful to those over seas and those on own soil fighting for our freedom. I know that freedom doesn't come free but I know its worth the fight & I'm so grateful for those willing to lay down their lives to protect it. I know a few people who are serving and who have served in the armed forces and I'll admit because of a certain friend i stand a little taller, and clap a little harder for Marines:] But I'm so grateful for everyone in the armed forces. The sacrifices that you are making will never be forgotten. I can't even begin to understand what it must feel to leave your family and never know if you will ever see them again. If you were in a room of people and you asked if anyone knew someone who is or had been in the armed forces most everyone would raise their hand. We have all been affected by loved ones being in the armed forces. What we need to do here at home is stand up and support our troops. Even if we don't support the war you can still support that they're fighting not only for our freedoms but for the freedoms of others. I don't care if you support the war or not. The reason you even have the option of voicing your opinion is because of those selfless troops fighting for your rights. The least you could do is show them the respect they deserve. Keep a special prayer in your heart that they will return home to their loved ones. I can't say enough how thankful i am. I will stand up and support you no matter what. Because of you brave troops I'm proud to be an American.




 American Solider


I'm just trying to be a father
Raise a daughter and a son
Be a lover to their mother
Everything to everyone
Up and at 'em, bright and early
I'm all business in my suit
Yeah, I'm dressed up for success
From my head down to my boots


I don't do it for the money
There's bills that I can't pay
I don't do it for the glory
I just do it anyway

Providing for our future's my responsibility
Yeah I'm real good under pressure
Being all that I can be
 And I can't call in sick on Mondays

When the weekends been too strong
I just work straight through the holidays
And sometimes all night long
You can bet that I stand ready when the
wolf growls at the door


Hey, I'm solid, hey I'm steady, hey, I'm true
down to the core And I will always do my
duty no matter what the price I've counted
up the cost, I know the sacrifice
Oh, and I don't want to die for you
But if dyin's asked of me


I'll bear that cross with honor
'Cause freedom don't come free
I'm an American soldier, an American
Beside my brothers and my sisters I
will proudly take a stand
When Liberty's in jeopardy,


I will always do what's right
I'm out here on the front line
Sleep in peace tonight
American soldier, I'm an American

 soldier Yeah, an American soldier,
an American                                       



Beside my brothers and my sisters
 I will proudly take a stand
When Liberty's in jeopardy I will always

do what's right
I'm out here on the front line
So Sleep in peace tonight


American soldier, I'm an American
An American, an  American soldier


 

God Bless the troops may you return home safely to your families:] Thank you for all that you do!

addicted.

hi my name is brittney and I'm a wedding addict. hi brittney. welcome to weddings anonymous.
I have come to terms with my weddings addiction. I love everything about them.


i love the engagement story.
I love the rings.
I love the invitations.
I love the promises that are made.
I love how happy they are.
I love the countless hours of planning that went into this one day.
I love the dresses:].
I love the celebration of love.
I love the pictures.
I love the support that is shown from friends and family.
I love the joining of two families.
I love being apart of one of the happiest moments in someones life.
I love the anticipation of the night being over so they can begin their life together.
the beginning of happily ever after.


Its like i get a high from the feeling that surrounds weddings. I'm addicted to it. The allure that the happiness has on me is captivating. I love the thought of what if these two people had never met? How different would their lives have been. Is it just a coincidence or was it fate? But that fact was they did meet whether by coincidence or fate they were brought together & now their lives are intertwined. I've never really believed in soul mates i feel that someone could be happy with a number of people but i do believe that god places people in our lives for a reason & i do believe everything happens for a reason. So while I'm not living the married life i will live vicariously through all of you at your weddings. I find myself facebook stalking all you married people for your weddings pictures. So keep the weddings coming and let your photos be posted as soon as your get home from your honeymoon!!:] At least i still have say yes to the dress & David tuterra to keep the wedding bliss high strong in my head.



"Love is composed of a single soul
 inhabiting two bodies."
Aristotle




one day i'll have my happily ever after too:]
