Day 30- Your favorite song.

I have so many songs that I am completely in love with but to top it off, Sanctus Real is my #1 favorite band of all time and the song that I am in love with that is my hands down favorite song of all time is:

AFTER TODAY by: Sanctus Real

The reason why I love this song so much is because it touches my heart,  the lyrics say it all,  After Today.  I have so many dreams and desires that God has given me and I know that I will, one day accomplish and live up to the fullest capacity for the mantel that I have on my life.  the Bible says that, "Many are called and few are chosen"  now I know I have a plan on my life and I am terrified of everything that God has for me but I am so scared, are you?
here are the lyrics:

After today I'll get me out of this place

Into the world so I can set a new pace

Seems I'm on my own from here

Vision doesn't seem so clear

Won't You lay me in Your hands of grace

 

I've got a funny feeling that I'm gonna go away

Gonna face my future, gonna try to make the grade

I've got a ways to go from here and vision doesn't seem so clear

But praise God He's got a plan and understanding isn't my place

After today I'm gonna come face to face

With a new world who knows I'm feeling this way

I've got a ways to go from here

I'm gonna overcome these fears

Still I'm gonna need Your hands of grace

I'll be a bigger man... I'll pray a bigger prayer

I'll dream a bigger dream...for today.

Day 29- In this past month, what have you learned

Man, in this past month I have learned that friends come and friends go.  I mean I've always known this but someone who calls you a "friend" should always be there for you.  and this I learned just about a week ago.  Sometimes I feel like I annoy and bother people, I am a very down to earth, real person.  I speak my mind (a lil too much sometimes) I can be loud, obnoxious, and goofy....-this is me, if you don't like it, get over yourself.  This is my personality and my life..  please do not call someone a friend if you do not like everything about them, they were that way from before they were your friend.
-signed,
Me aka
goofy
stupid
crazy
loud
nerdy.

Day 28- A picture of you last year and now, how have you changed since then?

Well, I've changed, I will continue to change and sometimes I hate that! :)  Since last year and now  I have learned patience.  Derek was gone last year and this year for two seperate deployments and let me tell you something.. If you are or not a military spouse that HAS NOT faced a deployment count yourself lucky.  You can be a military spouse all you want, but being seperated is a completely a different story and with seperation you learn patience, a deeper desire to love and to be loved.  I have matured and grown into a better woman, and a better wife.. and I hope next year more positive changes continue to come,

here is me this year

And here is me last year,  taken for my hubby on deployment # 1.

Day 27- Why are you doing this 30 day challenge

Well I thought I'd try to commit to something for 30 days, and to admit it I failed.  I didnt do every day exactly to the tee.  but I did write a blog for every single day.  Its been interesting to go back and read what I thought and think about for the last 27 entries.  Its actually cool.  I enjoying blogging.  I don't think I am going to stop. :)

Day 26- What you think about your friends

Words can't even compare to how great of friends I have.  I don't have many but the few I have I wouldnt trade them for nothin.  Throughout my husbands military career I, I mean WE :) have made some unbelievable friends.  My friends are great. they give support and we show support too.

Day 24- A letter to your parents

I really like my life to be private, but who said having a blog that your life would be,   But really I don't have to write a letter to my parents.  I just keep it real and tell them how I feel if something is bothering me.  or if I want to thank them or just to even tell them that I love them.

Day 23- Something you crave for a lot

Well Well Well,  I have very few cravings and what I usually crave the most is hot cheetos with LEMON! 

• Butterfingers
• Life Savor Gummis

Thats it! :)

Day 22- What makes you different from everyone else

Well, I think that everyone has something special about them.  However, I do not like talking about myself. lol.  But what makes me different from everyone else is that I am sold out for Jesus.  I serve such an awesome God who has done so many things in my life that I cannot give anyone else credit except him.  He has opened so many doors in my life that I just cannot keep up.   I am a very compassionate person,  I have a desire to help people.  I am a very giving person,  I cannot tell people "no" which sometimes could be bad and bad because I am so giving.  :)

Day 21- A picture of something that makes you happy

There are so many things that make me happy.  My heart has so much love for my family!

Here is me and Derek.. I am giving him goo goo eyes.  I love him so much!

                                This is our Molly Coco.  I love thisdog.. She is like a little human. :)

 This is Mariah.  Ah, my beautiful Neice.

 This is Derek in Afghanistan.  Not sure where his weapon is though.. lol

 Me and Princess.

 I taught Mariah how to give kisses!!

Day 20- Someone you see yourself marrying/being with in the future or about your spouse.

Well, being that I am already married.  I cannot picture my life being more perfect.  in general I will have to say that my life is perfect, well to me it is. and thats all that matters.  My husband is the light of my life.. he has been more perfect to me than any person has ever attempted to be.  My husband Derek I will always hold near and dear to my heart.  I never pictured myself being married young.. well, to me I am young..LOL. I wanted to wait until about 25-30 but I eventually bit the big one and got married.  We ran off and got married and no one found out that we got married until a week before Dereks 1st deployment.  And we hurt a lot of people doing it that way... but its okay.. Derek is a wonderful man and he does put up with a lot because I can be quite the handful sometimes.  Most people who have given up on me and my personality, but not Derek.  He has been through everything with me, thick and thin.  And I cannot thank God enough for the Man of God that my husband is.  Every day he is becoming a better husband.  I always told myself I wanted to marry someone just like my dad, and I sure did.  He wears sweats and moccasins just LIKE MY dad.. haha.. So I do beyond a shadow of a doubt love my husband uncoditionally.

Day 19- Nicknames you have; why do you have them

I have so many different nick names people call me and that I call people.  My husband calls me Wife.  which I absolutely love.. just the name says it all. I am his wife.  It gets me all gitty and I smile, cause I love it.  And when we are goofying around he calls me woman.. which I really dont care for all that much but I go with it...  Nicknames I call my husband are babe-o.. I love calling him babe-o!.  I have never heard anyone call that name to anyone.. so to me babe-o is uinque.  I also like husband.. and sweetheart... oh and I love calling him My Love..   kinda cheesy but thats what married people do. :)

Day 18- Plans/dreams/goals you have

Well, I have so many desires that have been placed in my heart since I was a little child..  and as oddly as it sounds I still have every desire and dream that I spoke of when I was a little girl.  First and foremost my number one desire is to never stop desiring God.  I have been raised in the church since I was about 4 years old.  And ever since that first time I was touched by the hand of Jesus I knew I wanted nothing else but for him to live inside my heart..  Secondly,  my next desire is to become a doctor.  I have been down the medical field path since I was 17 years old.  And honestly I do not see myself coming near to giving up.  I mean, I have my little doubts here and there but that's just the enemy telling me I cannot succeed.  Which is not true, because with God ALL things are possible.  and if I have faith the size of a mustard seed I can do beyond great things.  :)

Day 17- Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why

Hmm.  I know this is probably weird to say, but the only person(s) I would switch lives with for 1 day would be, hands down a Marine.  Many people don't know what these young men and woman go through on a day to day basis and just for one day I would love to be able to wear a uniform proudly and call myself a Marine.  I know it sounds cheesy, but my husband always gives me a hard time because he said I will never know what its like doing hikes, uts and boots, field ops.  no showers for months at a time or even being away from family.. OR eating MRE's. lol.

Day 16- Another picture of yourself

Here are some AWESOME pictures of me!  First one is Dereks 2nd Homecoming from Afghanistan! July 4th, 2010

Second one is from Dereks first homecoming!  August 28th 2009!!

Day 13- A letter to someone who has hurt you recently

To be honest, I don't let people hurt me.  And by me saying I dont let I mean I do not tolerate anyone disrepecting me or anyone around me.  I can't even remember the last time anyone hurt me.  Which, I dont think it is bad at all. :)

Day 12- How you found out about Blogger and why you made one

Well, originally I had a livejournal account.  I had that account since 2000,  since my freshman year of high school.  well just like myspace was sooo cool in the early 2000's... the upgrade was Facebook.. and the upgrade from Live Journal was to open a Blogger account.  Never used to be the blogging type.  But I enjoy it.

Day 11- Another picture of you and your friends

I dont have many friends but the ones I have make my life better than ever, here are some pictures with my friends

This picture is the Reynas and Gonzalez Family.  We had a madatory 3/5 meeting in Irvine.  Family day for the Battalion

Day 10- Songs you listen to when you are Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad

There are so many songs that I listen to on a day to day basis that I have a whole list. 

Songs I listen to when I am sad are love songs, Alicia Keys mostly. 

Songs when I am happy I listen to worship music, fast paced music and dance music

And when I am bored, I just choose not to listen to music.  :)

or when I am mad, or "hyped"
