It's the little things that count
Life is full of so many ups and downs it's nice to to sit back and think of all the little things that make me smile. I decided to do it on a Monday because well Mondays SUCK! :)
- The first cup of coffee in the morning...1/2 cream 1/2 vanilla. It's the perfect start to get going in the mornings
- Days off with my husband..I love sleeping in and not hearing the stupid alarm clock! It's so nice to make breakfast for him and just spend time together. It doesnt happen often so when it doesnt I take full advantage!
- Watching Bentley sleep...I love when he is in dreamworld, so calm and relaxed. He is so peaceful....unlike every other second of the day!
- My moms cooking...don't know what it is but everything she makes taste better just because she makes it!
- A good laugh, the kind of laugh that hurts your stomach! Love those!
- Waking up early....when I have to work I usually wake up about in hour before I really need to. Its nice to have some time to myself to get little things done before work. I usually try to hit the treadmill for a little during that time
-A rainy day and a lifetime movie
I have been blessed with so many things that it is nice to reflect on the little things that impact my life. I hope this little post makes you think about the little things that make you happy. Have a wonderful Monday!!

Love...
I love love. I really do. I have never been a party girl or anything like that. I've alway been a relationship kind of girl. I've really only been in 3 serious relationships (including my husband). Right here right now, 2 glasses of Pinot Grigio in (if my spelling or grammer is messed up please understand), I'm going to break it down and tell you about these 3 relationships...
Charles- Oh Charles, my first real true relationship. He was a chubby dark haired guy with a Georgia accent and a love for fishing and trucks. Not my type at ALL! During our almost 5 year relationship we had so many ups and downs, it was such a turmoulotus relationship. He wanted to be a kid, live with mommy and play video games all day while I wanted to get engaged, make money, and start a family. I can remember telling him "im not happy" but he would not listen. I finally decided that our relationship was not going anywhere around January 2010. It was finished. When I look back now I thank God that we didnt do all the things I wanted to do because God had bigger plans for both of us. Breaking up was probably one of the hardest things I have ever gone through. He was not only my boyfriend but he was my best friend. He was all I had ever known for a long time and I had to rebuild a life without him. I was also very close to him family and him mine so that was also another transition as well. We do not keep in contact anymore, I think it would be to weird and awkward to be friends after everything. Even though I look back and can't belive I stayed as long as I did, I learned so much about myself in that relationship and what I want out of life.
Josh- I can't even believe I have to put this in to a serious relationship catergory because it was exactly the opposite!! So before I started dating Charles at the end of high school, the previous 4 years I was obsessed with a guy named Josh. He was a bad boy. He had messy hair and glassies and hung out with the popular crowd. Throughout high school we dated (if you want to call it that). When I met Charles and we started getting serious I told Josh that we were finished and that was it. No more messing around with my heart!! After that, from what he told me later on he got into really bad drugs and his life went down hill. After Charles and I broke up I had such a smart idea (not) to call Josh and tell him that I was single and we could start off where we left off. Maybe in my vunerable brain I thought that maybe we were ment to be, maybe he was the one I was suppose to be with. So he def was not. I knew he had a lieing problem but I didnt care, I would just pretend like I knew he wasent lieing. I even almost got an apartment with him!!! I can remember sitting in the leasing office and The Fray's song "over my head" came on the radio and thinking that is exactly how I feel. Thank GOSH I didnt sign it! WHAT THE HECK WAS I THINKING!!!!!!! After about 3 months of dating I decided to call it quits with him. After all is said and done and I look back on that small tiny part of my life I think I may have learning the most. I learned to NEVER EVER jump into a relationship right after a break up and also if you have a bad feeling about a person do NOT continue to pretend that everything is fine. I think Josh is doing good now but I really dont know. I hope he finds what he needs in life, all I know is IT WAS NOT ME!
John - Yay!! We finally made it to my favorite my HUSBAND! We met at work, never EVER in a million trillion years thought we would EVER be in any type of relationship let alone get MARRIED! As I have mentioned in previous posts he is a lot older then me. In the biggining it mattered a lot but now I dont even think about it too much. I guess its because I've always been around adults, as soon as I got out of high school I got my real estate license and was only around older people. I never had the mentality of a normal 18 year old, I was always thinking in a business sense not a party sense. We became really close at work, he knew all about my past relationships and issues and I knew about his. We never really went through a weird dating phase because we already knew eachother so much. I'm always learning so much from him and him from me. He is amazing, he has so much passion for life and I love it. The age scared me at first a little bit but you know if it works for us who cares!! I'm so proud to be his wife and the little family we have.
So there you have it, my relationships in a nut shell! Right now life is good, I have stability and I know my husband and I are a team. He is my rock, I know we can count on eachother through thick and thin! Cheers to past relationships that taught us what we want in our future relationships and double cheers to marrying your perfect match! I will leave you with a picture of us at our wedding having a blast in the photobooth!!

Do's and Dont's Of Traveling
So So SOOOO happy to be home!! Spending 3 weeks away from my family was WAY to much but a learning experience! Now that I am a pro traveler and all (2nd time on a plane and first time by myself...ok so my mom sheltered me a little bit!) I learned a few things on my adventure and decided to share them whith you! Here are my does and don'ts of traveling
1) Do NOT over pack...
I need options. I'm not one of those people who can pick out outfits for each day and only bring those while traveling. I mean I was going away for 3 weeks!! So I decided to try to pack literally everything and convinced myself that my check in bag was under 50 lbs. While flying to Atlanta I had my husband with me at the check in counter so when the bag weighed about 75 lb he was there to help me trasfer my stuff into my carry on. Different story coming home. If you were in Atlanta last Saturday morning and you were trying to self check in on a US Airways flight...I'm sorry. If you saw the girl on her hands and knees transferring things from one bag to another while ever US Airway counter person was screaming to get out of the way..again I'm sorry. It was a HUGE scene that I never want to go through again. I've learned my leason!
2)Do Experience New Things
I went to great places to eat (Publix, Boranda's and Escorpion are amazing local places in ATL), walked everywhere (brought everything but good walking shoes..I'm still paying for that), and rode the Marta (Atlanta Subway) for the first time. I went to the Coca Cola Factory which was so much fun! I also made 8 new friends that were in my training class who I will always try to keep in touch with. They are all amazing in there own ways!
Last but not least....
3) Do NOT get drunk on a business trip
Not my mistake but one of my fellow employees. Not a good scene...there were tears, vomit, and missing training class. Enough said
Here are some pics of my trip! Hope you enjoyed my do's and don'ts!
Coke Factory..Pretty Bottle
Hotlanta Baby!!!
First Time On A Subway...I know I'm such a Dork!
Celebrity Experience...Lamman Rucker from Why Did I Get Married. Awesome guy who was so sweet!! He was very impressed with my Pittsburgh Steelers Knowledge (Thanks babe!)
