My father spent 20 years in the military. That was his life he knew nothing more than his country and how much he must stand up for it.

This first part has nothing to do really with what I actually want to say. I just have a frustration with a sister to air out. My second to oldest sister on my mom’s side is expecting her first grandchild in November. Needless to say she’s really excited, as any future grandmother should be. When it was really touch and go with my mother the ( Read more... )

My mom has been in the hospital for almost a week now. She has an infection SOMEWHERE in her body that she's not able to fight off. Her immune response is at zero. Her platelets aren't being produced and it seems her body isn't accepting the ones that they put in. She has been overly tired and running a high fever which the seemed to have under ( Read more... )

This morning I woke up planning to just lounge around the house and not do much of anything outside of it. My dad asked me if I was ready to go to the bank. My first thought was "I can't be seen like this!" and proceeded to tell him that I needed a shower and such. After my shower I again looked in the mirror and saw very uneven skin and dark ( Read more... )

The second semester got to be UBER expensive when it came to books. I easily spent 300 bucks on books needed for my classes. Thank God for used books. I got my 90 dollar Anthropology book for 25 bucks =) Anyway, being it was used the person before me had left their mark on it. During a really low point at school I found a really awesome letter in ( Read more... )

I'm still reading "The Gutter" I should have been done by now but as much as I've enjoyed reading it, it's a difficult book for me to read. In it the author Craig told us a story about his friend Jason. Jason's gutter was the Red Light District of his city. He was walking to where the base was when Coco caught his eye. She was a prostitute ( Read more... )

Hm... A friend asked me a couple weeks ago, "Was it hard to keep the faith in a bible school?" I told her yes but not because it honestly was but I didn't know any other answer. Bought a book for a friend for her graduation and I had a deep want to read it (have decided to keep it as a result lol). It's called "Where Is Your Gutter?" It's ( Read more... )

Have you ever felt like you will never be good enough? Lately, as in the past two days I have been wondering if I'm actually good enough for my future husband. I've done some pretty messed up things in my life. I've told people, but I would be terrified to tell the one I think I would want to spend the rest of my life with. Telling people made ( Read more... )

Okay, I will explain the events of Katie's and my Sunday. Both her and I were really excited to go to church this morning... most shocking thing we even woke up early enough to get all cute. ANYWAY we took a few wrong turns and wanted to get back to the main highway long story short we ended up getting stuck on a farmer's mud road. We were doing a ( Read more... )

It makes me sad to think how many people like one of my friends. They're all great guys, but she'd never see them more as that. In fact, she's really against boys in general. Like she likes them and she's excited to get married, but don't gush about them around her... I feel like I can't really relate to her at times anymore... tis sad... I hope ( Read more... )
