...fairy tales do come true

They did for my girl this Halloween anyways :)

Greg wanted to be her prince charming since Alyssa wanted to be Cinderella.

To me it was heavenly..

My prince and prince charming looked so adorable :)

Alyssa still looks at her pictures and talks about how that day she was Cinderella. That is a mothers dream to really give your kids a chance to be whoever they want on Halloween, and it felt good to fulfill it. 

       

Before and After she got ready :)

We had a Great time with the hopwood family, Cant wait till we can hang out with them again :)
Hope everyone had a awesome halloween like I we did :)

Im leaving you with my favorite shot of the evening :)

Thanks for joining this journey we call life.

Sometimes...

I think about things that are way beyond my control.

I was taught when I was little to "treat others the way you have been treated." Thats what my parents drilled into my head. I want to believe that I have always tried to be the best mom, wife, daughter, sister, and friend that I could possible be.

I can admit that I sometimes have made mistakes, and done things that I should have done, but who hasnt right? Its just a part of life. Noone is perfect so why pretend to be? At the beginning of this year, all the walls I have put up for the people that wronged me. I broke down. I said sorry to those people, and I think in some way people wondered why. Its because I dont want to feel what I feel now.. We are never promised tomorrow, so why live life that way?

We shouldn't let what other people think of us, dertermine the things we do or the decisions we make, BUT it does. For me at least! The problem for me is, I want to help everyone in every way I possibly can. I want everyone to like me for me. It bothers the hell out of me when someone judges me before they know me. I guess in reality not everyone will understand or even agree with the decisions I make. You cant make everyone like you, I guess? Just feels as almost a let down for me. Like I failed at something??

Living the "NAVY" life, there are all these hardships with friendship. I just cant grasp my hand around it, or my heart for that matter. To be completly honest I can only think of two girls thats been consistantly there for me throughout it all. One being in the navy and one not being in the navy. Dont get me wrong I have friends, but sometimes I really wonder why were even friends at all? Sometimes they are there for me and other times I think im just forgotten. Kinda sad I say it like that but its true. I guess it just bothers me more than it should. I dont understand how some girls can be so mean, and spiteful. I could never do, or say for that matter somethings like that about someone that I was once good friends with. I just gotta learn that in the end im not the one that will have to judge them for all the wrong they have done.

.......what im getting at is it makes me feel like a horrible person. Wonder what im doing so wrong as a friend to deserve it? Maybe I just try to hard?

At the end of the day, regardless of the people that like me or dont, my job is to still have a smile on my face, and still be the best mom, wife, and friend I can be....I am very thankful for those 2 I mentioned before. I have laughed, and cried many times with them and I will hold them so close to my heart..<3

..............................

I hope everyone has a great mothers day. I will post tomorrow morning about my wonderful presents I got :)

Thanks for joining us in this journey we call life.

Happy Award!!

I found this from Kelli over at Kandid Kelli ( who's blog I love to read, and you would too ). Something to maye bring a smile to your face, and make u rember some things you are thankful for.

Here are the "rules":

1. Copy and paste the award.
2. Link to the person who sent it to you.

3. List 10 things that make you happy.

4. Nominate other bloggers and stop by their blogs to let them know.

1. Alyssa Marie..  I can say this again and again untill im blue in the face, shes the best thing thats ever happend to me. I never though my heart could beat outside my chest, but it does everyday. Shes so amazing, in every way possible. It breaks my heart to hear people say they never what childern, casue they will never get to expierence what I do every day.

2. Photographs  I love photography with a passion, maybe this is why I love this so much. I can look at pictures all day everyday. Looking back on memories just brings a smile to my face, and any given moment.

3. Waking up with the windows open  AHH.. I absolutly LOVE this.. Its so calmin to me, to feel that cool crisp morning air on my face.

4.Pepsi...  theres nothing better to drink in the morning. Or all day actually.. ha I need to be drinking water I kno, I kno!!

5.Country Music  theres something about it, that calms me. I think I can almost relate to every country song out there. I love it and it will always be a part of me no MATTER what.

6.  Being crafty/making things  Something about a challenge of weather or not I can make or do something that thrills me. Once I accomplished it I dont do unless I need to again.

7. Waking up to a clean house  oh my! Nothing can start my morning off better, than waking up and everything neat and tidy the way it is suppose to be.

8.Reading  I love to curl up and read a good book. I for some reason ALWAYS cry expecially when its a good book, I guess it just means im really into it or emotional.. ha ha

9.  Getting my toes/nails done Some people like to tan, I love to get my toes done.. Nails just make me feel pretty, but getting my toes done just give me all the joy, and for a while after too.

10. Spending good quality with family/friends  Nothing in life is more important than making memories, or spending time with people that mean the most to you. You can always have the things you want all the time, but the memories you make will always be with you.

I feel like im here there and EVERYWHERE!!

SO.. those of you who dont know this is actually my first week for working a full time job since I was prego.. which im my calculations are right is about umm?? 2 years and 8 months, wow does time fly fast huh? ANYWAYS, so things are going farily well just feel kinda overwhelmed. Its just hard to go from taking care of that prissy, yet amazing daughter of mine to working in a office with all adults. LOL

The amazing part is I miss her, but I am actually amazed that I dont feel to left out of her life. I get to spend amazing evening time with her. We actually ate dinner on the couch in front of the tv yesterday. It was really nice, and then we contined to blow rasberries, and play nosey nosey afterwards. Oh it was AMAZING!!

Other than being absent from that little blessing, I feel like im losing touch with all my friends. I know they understand, but sometimes I dont think they understand to the full extent sometimes. Right now, im just so tired, and stressed, and missing my baby girl, and the help around the house I could definatly use.. my evening nap I took everday. I just want people to understand that yes, I may be a little moody and stressed, not to mention not thinking straight. Therefore not going about things the way I use to. Just give me time to get use to this routien to settle.

Sorry if I blew off a little steam there. LOL Felt kinda good actually :) Anyways thanks for following on
this journey we call life.
