2011...

2010 has been the absolute best year of my life. I am so sad to see it go, but am excited to see the opportunity and fun that the new year will undoubtedly bring me! 2011, you have some seriously big shoes to fit...

Can I just look like this?!

Well, here's to being an adult... kind of.

Nathan is looking at his final four months left until he has his Green Beret in hand. I cannot even begin to try and express how very proud I am of him. He has worked so hard for this. He deserves this! Well, right before he graduates, we should be getting our orders and we are hoping and praying that they will be to Colorado. We are very intent on this because frankly, we hate it here. We have been looking at houses in the area to buy and I have been browsing schools. I have even applied to a school there and am anxiously awaiting the end of this weekend; in hopes that I will hear back on Monday. This is it. The training is almost over. My husband will be deployed in the next several months and I will be left to pick up my education and creativity. I am so scared. Being an adult is the most terrifying concept in the world. Even though he and I will be apart, we will still be pushing one another to do well and encourage each other every single day. I am insanely in love with my husband. I am sure that every one feels this way, but I really feel like ours is a love so much stronger and more romantic than every one elses! hahaha
"These two skeletons from the Neolithic period have been discovered by archaeologists near Mantua in Italy and are believed to be young lovers due to the presence of all the teeth. The Location of their eternal embrace was just 25 miles south of Verona, the city where Shakespeare’s love story Romeo and Juliet was set."

If you position yourself in the shadows rather than the sunlight you can find trouble just about anywhere.

:(

Tilly died today. :'(

All my own.

There are very few things that people can truly own. The only things that I can really call my own are my convictions, love, and hate. Sure, most people wouldn't admit to their hates, but I have mine and I hold tightly to that fire. My convictions are very important to me for obvious reasons. I will always know in my heart what I feel is right (or wrong) and there isn't a single person on this Earth that could ever take that from me. I may be naive, but I would feel better about myself doing what I feel is right than conceding to something that may look right and feels wrong. So, very, wrong.
