Day 14 - A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without

This is a dead giveaway.. I couldn't imagine my life without Tyler.. Even though we have to spend a lot of time apart I couldn't imagine if we didn't have the relationship we have.   God has truly blessed me with a wonderful husband that I couldn't imagine life without! <3

Day 13 - A picture of your favorite band or artist

Since moving to San Diego we began attending The Rock Church.  The Katinas come to the church several times a year and they are AMAZING!  Truly men of God who make worship so great!  

Check them out on www.thekatinas.com.  

They will be at The Rock this Sunday!  We can't wait!

Day 12 - A picture of something you love

Something I love is the Bible.. :)  It is a love note from our creator, how can you not love it?!  There is advice for everything in the Bible.  It defines right and wrong, good and bad, in black and white... it is our guide book to life! I <3 it! 

Days 10 & 11

Day 10 - A picture of the person you do the craziest things with

The person I do or have done the craziest things with would have to be my cousin Doniel, to the left of me... Since we don't live close anymore it has been a while since we have caused any chaos.... but back in the day!
We used to drive my jetta into huge snow piles in parking lots... it was HILARIOUS! The list could go on and on... but you get the gist...

 
Day 11 - A picture of something you hate

This is the best picture I could find of the number one thing I hate... ANXIETY!  It is soooo annoying and can control your life.  It is a sickness that can make you any kind of sick, headaches, stomach aches, shortness of breath... it is all just ridiculous.  I hate anxiety!  BLAH!  

Day 8 & 9... ehhh behind a day..

Day 08 - A picture that makes you laugh (How about a video...even better!)

This was part of a video I put together for Tyler when he was deployed and since my g-pa can't hear he says some pretty funny things! Haha.. he always makes me laugh! 

Day 09 - A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most

 Tyler has been here for me through a lot.. Even though we have been married for only 3 years it feels like a lifetime of being together... Through everything he loves me and treats me like a princess.  I would have never thought I would be so blessed with such an awesome best friend!  He has been such a blessing!  

Day 07 - A picture of your most treasured item

I have to say my wedding ring one of my most treasured items... However, I do have several other very important possessions... But this is the most important gift the Mr. has given me.  With it he asked me to journey through life with him, together forever.  To be his wife. To follow him where ever life may take us. To change my name.  To have his children... all of this and just with a ring....It isn't just a ring though, it isn't just diamonds... it is a commitment I made to the Mr. to spend the rest of my life with him and him only...  I <3 it!

Day 06 - A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day

So I have thought about what picture to put on this post all day... I have come to the conclusion that if I could trade places with someone for a day I would choose every person who questions my life and what I do... Taking this question from another perspective I would want them to see what it is like to be me instead of wanting to know what it is like to be someone else.  I want them to see what it is like to live a military life.  The challenges, the rewards, everything, raw... because it is a completely different lifestyle than most.  Our life isn't "normal," it isn't what everyone thinks it is.. there are more challenges and more rewards than you can see from the outside... If I could trade places for a day with anyone it would be any one of those people who question my actions and feelings... I want them to really see what it is like to be in my shoes...

Day 05 - A picture of your favorite memory

This is one of my favorite pictures & memories.  It was taken at our second homecoming, but the first as a married couple.  Homecomings are by far my favorite memories in the whole world!  There are so many overwhelming feelings of excitement, anxiousness, joy and everything else that mesh together for an extremely amazing moment!  It is an indescribable feeling, no one can ever imagine how amazing it really is until they have to go through deployment and then experience the joy of homecoming.   

I hold these memories and thoughts close because I feel blessed to have experienced these feelings that many have not.

Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest

My cousin, Doniel, and I have been close for quite a while. 

We have had our times but over-all we have been friends through a lot. 

This picture was taken at a surprise party the church threw for me before I came out to San Diego.

Where is the time going...

Wow... I can't tell you how many times I thought that it was already April today.  I don't know if I am hoping it is already April or my days are just so run together that I don't know what day it is.  I feel like I am constantly wishing the days away because Tyler is gone or we are waiting to find out news.  As far as news goes, we are still waiting for orders and have no idea if we will be going or staying.  Gosh, I feel like I am going on and on about nothing.. I am going to have to pick up a fun blog challenge soon!  I will get on that right now.. :)  
 

What is in a friend...

Friends are hard to come by today.  Wait, let me rephrase that.. GOOD friends are hard to come by these days.  I know that it comes with the territory of being here and there and not ever living in the same place forever but I am realizing that it is hard to know who is a good friend and who isn't.  There are so many people in the world and that you come in contact with everyday how do you depict who is real and who isn't?  It is like being in a room of people with a blindfold on and hoping you connect with the right person.  We have been very blessed since we have been back though.  We have met a lot of new people in the housing that we live in and I might say we have found some really good friends.  I am hoping that we are going to be able to stay here for our next orders... (been praying and will find out on the 4th or 5th)  :)  We have been patiently waiting to see where the Navy will take us next.. knowing that God is ultimately the one who chooses where we go.  Anyway, I just wanted to say I feel pretty blessed today that we have made some good friends who I feel will be around for a while. :)  I hope everyone else feels as blessed as us in this department! Enjoy your day!
