BOBBY IS MORE AND MORE MY SOUL MATE EVERYDAY, HE JUST IS A REMARKABLE HUMAN AND I AM VERY LUCKY TO SAY THAT HE WILL BE MY HUSBAND. SO BRING ON 2010, IT WILL BE A YEAR OF NEW ADVENTURES, NEW BATTLES, AND NEW JOURNEYS THAT WE WILL MAKE IT THROUGH THEM ALL TO BECOME STRONGER AND HAPPIER. I WILL BE GETTING MARRIED IN 5 MONTHS, CRAZY CRAZY TIME, BUT I AM SO EXCITED. THIS WILL BE A YEAR WHERE....

We will fight, and We will Win!!

As most of you all know my Mom was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, she found out Tues Nov 24th. She kept this secret with my Dad for a week, she didnt want it to be involved with birthdays, and thanksgiving. We all got together as a family on Sun Nov 29th, and that is a day I will never forget. I knew that she had gone into the doctor, and when I asked her about it after she said everything was fine, I knew something was wrong but then life just kind of kept going on. Well Sunday the world literally stopped, and it really hasnt completely started again. She went in to have surgery on Dec 9th, 2009 and we were all sure that we caught it early that she was going to just be able to get it removed, and then just have radiation for 6 weeks. Well the cancer has spread and it has spread to her lymph nodes, and so they had to remove those also, and now she will need to have chemotherapy treatments. :( this is something we wanted to avoid, it just takes this to a whole other level. It just really is crazy to even think that we are talking about my Mom. The doctor will get back to her in a couple days with the test results, and we will find out if it has spread anywhere else and then what treatments she will have to endure to fight this. Everyone that knows my mom knows just how strong she is, she has to be she raised me and my 2 sisters ha ha we haven't been easy! It was crazy when I got engaged we planned everything for the wedding so fast, and I was surprised on how easy everything was just falling into place and now I now I know why. We now can put all of our energy into fighting this, the wedding will work itself out and my Mom will be there and she will be beautiful and I cant wait to tell everyone that my hero has now kicked cancers butt. Thank you to everyone for being there for me and for my mom and family. Please keep her in your thoughts and in your prayers. I will try and keep you updated as much as I can. Just know we will all be walking/running a 5k on May 08, 2010 at Gateway for Breast Cancer. :)

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO WAS A PART OF IT...♥

I would have liked to meet her!!

So recently I have been reading a lot of quotes just to try to find the right words to say exactly how I am feeling. I have always loved some Marilyn Monroe quotes, and I decided to share some of my favorites with everyone. I think certain quotes can affect people differently especially with whatever life is throwing at them at the time.. I think she was a fascinating women, and I would have loved to meet her. I believe she died way before her time. In the end though like she has said.. everything happens for a reason!

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when their right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

"If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything."

"When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them."

"It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone."

"Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I am just a girl who wishes for the world."

"I just want to be wonderful."

"She was a girl who knew how to be happy even when she was sad. And that’s important—you know "

"All little girls should be told they are pretty, even if they aren't."

"We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets."
