Day 06- Favorite super hero and why
Never ever have I been one of those kids who watched cartoons on Saturday morning with a bowl of cereal. and to be honest, I just googled superheros and I can't recall any of the names. Does this mean I am getting old? or does it mean that I am crazy for not growing up and watching these superhero shows? Oh well. :) I do howeveer, remember that my husband is crazy about Batman. Not sure why though. :)
Day 05- A picture of somewhere you’ve been to
I've been to so many different places throughout the 23 merely short years of my life, however one locations sets apart from the rest. The Grand Canyon. I am very fortunate to live close to one of the seven wonders of the world. We, my sisters, my brother in law and myself went in Jan of 2009. It was so beautiful. It was snowing and beyond balls cold.
Heres one of me and my baby sister overlooking the great wonder.
so crazy how my sister looks so far away but shes right there.
Now, one with all 3 of us.

Day 04- A habit that you wish you didn’t have
Hmm, a bad habit. Just one? oh where should I begin? Well the worse habit of all is nail biting. I have been biting nails since before I had teef. :) nail biting is such a disgusting habit. and every year I've been trying to break it. well for my new years resolution every year its the same one. haha
another bad habit that I am currently in the process of starting is.... DRIVING FAST. I am an unbelievably fast driver. I cut people off, I break check them. I drive sometimes 30+ over the speed limit, I text while driving and I dont use my turning signals. boy this one has been adjusting quite fast actually. My mother was involved in a car accident last week and since then I havent done any of these. Ok, I just lied. I sped this morning to work cause I was running late. :()

Day 01- A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself
Here is me.
15 Facts about me that people dont know...
1. I love wearing mens deoderant.
2. I'm going to school to be a Dr, thats right. A doctor.
3. I was engaged for only 3 days, then my husband and I decided why wait? lets just go and get married. So we ran off the day after Thanksgiving of 2008 and got married. and we didnt tell anyone until Derek's first deployment.
4. I was recently diagnosed with Lung Disease. COPD-
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most common lung diseases. It makes it difficult to breathe. There are two main forms of COPD:
Chronic bronchitis, defined by a long-term cough with mucus
Emphysema, defined by destruction of the lungs over time
Causes
Smoking is the leading cause of COPD. The more a person smokes, the more likely that person will develop COPD although some people smoke for years and never get COPD.
In rare cases, nonsmokers who lack a protein called alpha-1 antitrypsin can develop emphysema.
Other risk factors for COPD are:
Exposure to certain gases or fumes in the workplace
Exposure to heavy amounts of secondhand smoke and pollution
Frequent use of cooking gas without proper ventilation
Symptoms include-
Cough with mucus
Shortness of breath (dyspnea) that gets worse with mild activity
Fatigue
Frequent respiratory infections
Wheezing
5. I can't wait to have babies. I, well I should say "WE've" been trying quite hard. and its ridiculously fun. HAHA
6. IN 2011 we will be homeowners. My husband and I purchased a home, and currently it is in process of getting built. yes, a new home. With granite countertops, oak cabinets, tile, and carpet. you know, the usual.
7. I have a very strong fear of getting my hair cut. Cutting my hair is the worse thing that happens to me yearly, aside from the gyno violating me.
8. Today is my birthday, and I am terribly terrified of aging. I am scared to get wrinkly and saggy.
9. I am allergic to pretty much everything that floats in the air, and because of it I should belong in a bubble. My supervisor makes fun of me and calls me Bernie Hives. and I hate that nickname.
10. My family is gonna be millionaires. You know why, because my brother in law is going to be playing professional soccer for this team IN TURKEY!
11. My husband is the one who can take the best care of me. and I am learning more and more about him everyday, and everyday I am getting more and more crazy about that man.
12. You can never ever catch me without my blackberry or Ipod.
13. I HATE HATE HATE Citrus but I am in love with Lemon. weird huh?

In the last three months
In the last three months..
Well so much has changed in my life in the last few months and I don't even know where to begin.. So ill start right up until my husband departed from me. Feb of 2010 we were announced with the news that my husband would be deploying with 2/5. Before him being in 2/5 he was in 3/5 and him transitioning to another battalion happened within a blink of an eye. Nevertheless we both did what we had to do and we went with the flow, as soon as he transitioned that's when the news was announced he'd be heading to Afghanistan in less than a few weeks. Oddly enough, Derek decided to tell me this news on a Friday night, the night we went to file on 2009 taxes. As shockingly as it was I was a little disappointed not only because I wanted him home, but just because it seemed like he just got back from the his last deployment. Well, with him deploying so soon we had to figure out everything and what we were gonna do. So granted, my lovely amazing father and my awesome husband thought it would be best if I move back to Arizona for the time being, (without really telling me they decided that). I was so upset they decided this without consulting me, because I wanted to stay in SoCal, I had a great job I loved my instructors at school and I was set. So I was a little furious that they made the decision for me.. Well we had about 2 weeks to figure out what we were gonna do, well I ended up moving back to Arizona. Well, it was almost that time, and time flew by so fast, we ended up putting all of our belongings in storage, and I was heading home.. Well, Derek left on March 26th en route to Afghanistan, and on March 27th I began the long journey home, with our dog Molly Coco and a car full of the little things I needed. As time passed Derek landed in Ireland for a few days of having a flight lay over. And as I was trying to get my life squared away I instantly started missing him. Well, it was not too long that Derek officially arrived in Afghanistan and that's when it all started..
Weeks have finally started going by faster, I transferred from the southern california campus to phx and I was back on top of things. I heard from Derek often, and things were going good. I started watching my niece every single day. She's 6 months old now, and she has captured a piece of my heart that only she will ever have. In the last three months I've changed my decision about wanting to be a parent. Mariah has softened my heart beyond words. She has truly been a little inspiration to me, and because of her I want children! Ask me that last year about wanting kids I woulda punched you in your jugular. :-). But she has forever changed me.
On mothers day of this year, I asked my mother to forgive me of all the wrong I've done to her in my entire life. And to make me more accountable for my actions I asked her to forgive me in front of about 100 people. As I was asking my mother for forgiveness I cried, I have hurt her beyond words could possibly ever express and for that I am truly thankful for a mother who has never given up in her child, me. Since Mothers day of 2009 I am a forever changed woman.
In the past three months I have had to say bye to my awesome friends, watch some of them move home, get out of the military and some even help us pack our belongings for this deployment. Also, while being back in Arizona I learned that people change either for the better or for worse.. Most of the people that used to admire just aren't a part of my life anymore, and I'm totally okay with that now. Old friends die and new friends come.
With my husband gone, I have become better at a lot of things. I've become more independent on myself and doing things on my own. I'm not saying I don't need my husband, but just sometimes we need to go through a season to learn about yourself and watch yourself grow. And I've done that. I've changed a lot, a lot of my perspectives and desires. I have learned a newer meaning of love and marriage.
So, thanks deployment.. You've made my time well spent. As much as I hate you, thank you. I have an awesome family an absolutely amazing husband that I wouldn't trade for the world. I've learned things that take some married couples years to figure out. I've built more solid realtionships with my family that I've become more happy with life. I wake up in the morning with a smile on my face and a song in my heart. I've learned how to deal with the stressors that make people go crazy :-)
