twenty.

my genius parents got married on february 29th.
so they have an anniversary every 4 years.
it certainly saves money but seems a bit odd.

just kidding, they celebrate every year but I make fun of them often.

they always explain "we had to, dad was going to flight school, only time to do it."
I get it, I just enjoy the teasing.

but on to the anniversary deal.
I am so proud to call my parents my parents.
they are my heroes hands down and have shown me the perfect example of how love should be treated, and how one day I will need to treat my husband.
I am so blessed due to the fact that my parents kept their vows and didn't take marriage lightly.

they have displayed how to love each other by loving God first.
and because they loved God first they stuck out the difficult times that majority of relationships would crumble for.

so happy 20th momma and daddy.
and may you have so many many more.

I love you.

there will be a day.

I have always been dead set on not wanting Christ to come back until after I am married and have a family.
I have just been so adamant on I would feel like I missed out.
this morning I came to the conclusion that I am 100 percent okay with Him coming back right now. like this very second would be great.

I am incredibly happy right now. and I believe it's because for the first time in my life I am not worried about anything except what God wants for me. and so in turn I think that that is why I am perfectly okay with going to heaven right now.

not complaining about having no pain, tears, sadness, and suffering.

iPhone. you rock.

I absolutely love my phone and just when I thought it couldn't get any better I discovered the blogger app.
so I am currently blogging from my phone.
just so everyone knows that.

the one thing I WILL spend a lot of money on.

my wedding photographer.
I want my pictures to look like...


THISSSSS.

in the market for a nikon.

I really need a new camera.
like a real deal camera.
nikon preferably.

but I have so many "funds" coming out of my paycheck right now I don't seem to be able to find a way to save for it.
unfortunately my travel fund is more important.
and I make minimum wage.

love is a special occasion.

a pet peeve of mine is when people complain about valentines day.
saying things like "shouldn't you show love everyday, not just on a holiday"
OR
"I am single so valentines day is going to be terrible."

first of all,
yes you should show love everyday.
but, we also should celebrate the fact that Jesus was born everyday but you have no problem with Christmas...
and we should rejoice in the fact that He died to save us all the time but you take part in Easter...
and we should be thankful for those who gave us freedom, independence, and this wonderful country 24/7 yet we honor veterans day, memorial day, and the fourth of july.

secondly,
love has many forms... it's not just romance.
so it really doesn't matter if you are single, dating, engaged, married, or some other place in your life there is someone you can show love to and someone loves you.
friends, parents, boyfriends, girlfriends, finances, siblings, husbands, wifes, extended family, etc all deserve your love and its nice to just have a special reminder every february.

and of course Gods love surpasses all the others.

so when I say I love valentines day I am not saying that this is the only day to show your love to people or that it may not be with a significant other...
I'm just saying I love love.

and thats enough for me to pay special attention to it.

new design. here to stay.

so I have had a lot of trouble deciding on just how to make my blog appearance look.
I have decided that this is what I want.
and there may be a few minor changes here and there but for the most part this will stay.


today I did nothing but lay in bed watching romantic movies (due to the holiday coming up this week, that is all that is on tv), and when I got tired of watching endless love stories and constantly checking twitter on commercials I got dressed fixed my hair and went to CVS.
obviously I was bored.
so I looked at greeting cards for about thirty minutes then bought myself some mascara, chocolate, and milk.

productive day if I do say so myself.
