Stress and Positivity

Stress, they say it's a killer. Well, I'm too young to die. How to be positive when the stress gets too much...is that even possible? I am the kind of person who dislikes being negative. Some would beg to differ, but then they really don't know me. Everyone goes through alot of bad things in life, well almost everyone. Bad is determined by each individual person, what's bad to them might be acceptable for you. That kind of thing. Well, I've been through my share of tears, of emotions, of stress, and some days I wonder when that will end.  End? that would be called death. Everything in life is stressing. Do I need to find new ways to manage my stress? Yes, it's an everyday adventure. Here I am sitting, early in the morning thinking, "hey, life is pretty great right now, our finances are good, our family is good for the most part, time to relax a little." Then life throws one of those famous curve balls and is like, " ha ha  your life is going to smoothly right now, how bout a flat tire in the middle of nowhere on your way to work." Yes, this very thing happened to my husband. He's our only source of income. This potentially could of put us $138 behind on rent week. If it weren't for my amazing mother who drove to save the day, and also my preparedness by having road side assist on my insurance. So right now I'm crossing my fingers hoping everything with work out and the crisis will be resolved. I'm trying not to feel so angry at a friend of my husbands who could have turned around to help him, but chose not too. I can't let stress get the best of me. Positivity is important here. I'm alive and that is all. :)

Thankfulness

I can't believe that Thanksgiving is already over, this year has come and gone so fast. Parts of me looks back and says,"Man, I have wasted so many days and so much valuable time." While that may be true, I need to stop reminiscing on the past, because that alone is a waste of valuable time. 
Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for everything you have and the good things that have happened to you. 
This year has really dealt my husband and I a bad deck of cards, but we have gotten through everything together, alive and healthy. That is something to be grateful for. We have good friends and family, a roof over our head, an income that allows for that, and life is good. Sometimes I lose sight of what I have to be thankful for, especially when times get tough, and they seem unfair. Do you ever catch yourself saying,"Why does this happen to me?" You just got to think hey maybe its because I'm strong enough to handle this where as someone else may not be, or its a lesson needed to be learned to make you a stronger, and better person. This year has been a wake up call in my life. I've started doing arts and crafts to channel my creative energy, and have been listening to music without as much prejudice. Life is too short. 
This Thanksgiving we got to see most of my husbands family and had a good time. We are celebrating with my family this weekend, due to my father having to work, and my 80 year old Grandfather being sick in the hospital. We have all been worried, but alot of his health problems have been bothering him for years. He's been in my prayers. Just proves you have to be grateful for everyday you are alive and healthy:)

Autumn Is Here At Last

November is here already. These last 2 months have really flown by. So many things have been happening. Some of those things have been the hardest things I've ever had to deal with physically and emotionally. 

In the middle of September my husband and I found out we were expecting a child. We were both overwhelmed with joy, happiness, and excitement. We started living smarter financially and physically. We ate healthier, slept at a more normal regiment. I made sure to rest when I was tired, eat healthy foods, I even quit drinking soda(which is a huge accomplishment for me.) Right before we found out, about a month before actually, we were involved in a car accident, which made it no longer possible for me to work as a hair stylist. Our lives were changed then. We were faced with alot of stress from all of the legalities of it, stress from our families. Stress stress and more stress. So when we found out I was expecting, it wasn't stress for us. It was pure happiness. 

Then October came and sad news was upon us again. I recently miscarried. It was heartbreaking and devastating. I have always been a strong individual, atleast I would like to think so. I didn't cry too much. I didn't show it on the outside, and I still don't, but I was heartbroken. I know, and have been told by several people, that it happened for a reason, God was watching, and something probably wasn't right. I know this to be true, but at the same time I feel such anger towards life. So many people have babies when they don't deserve them or even want them. Here I am, a healthy person, someone who doesn't do drugs, someone who's not 15 years old, and I miscarried. Here I am a woman who's main dream in life is to have 2 to 3 beautiful children. I felt so angry, it seem so unfair. That's just the hurt behind it. I know that there's a reason for everything, and I know one day I will have a healthy child of my own dealing with it isn't that easy, but every day it gets better. I'm just grateful for my family and friends who are there for me:) I spent a little bit in the hospital after the miscarriage because I needed a blood transfusion. It was a very scary and traumatic experience, but my health is back up to par, and I feel better than before. 

I'm already planning to spend the rest of my life enjoying life. I've learned that it shouldn't be taken forgranted.

Hello There,
  So I haven't posted a blog in the longest of times. No excuses except that I've had so much on my mind lately. The world spins around so fast sometimes. I don't know who I am these days. I know who I want to be. I'm on another journey. This time around though, I'm going to put my foot down on what is acceptable and what isn't. I'm going to use my conscience in the best way I can.
  I'm on a path to modify my life, to improve the outcome. I love my husband, he's the best thing to have ever come into my life. He's my support, and just my everything. I have big dreams for us. I don't know if this small town can support those dreams, but one day we will find a place perfect for us. 
  I am happier than ever, knowing who my true friends are in this world. I also know that I need to let there be room for new friends. I don't trust that easily. I put walls up around a few people. I dislike walls, they block out the possibility of a full-filling life.I'm sure everyone's felt that way. 
  Some days I just find myself thinking constantly, don't always know why. I have random thoughts. Mostly good ones. I'm going to spend more time thinking about everything I do and say.That is what my mom always told me to do:)
  Life is good. I am more grateful these days! Enjoy life, You only have one chance to feel what you want to feel, to think what you want to think, and to be who you want to be!

Nicholas Sparks At First Sight

Hello Everyone!
So it's been a really long time since I've posted a blog about anything. My husband and I just finished moving into a new place, which we have grown to love. So now we are all settled in life is calming down again.
I recently just finished reading the book At First Sight by Nicholas Sparks. I have to admit I did something silly. I didn't realize it was the 2nd book. I didn't read the prequel "True Believer" which would have made this book a little less difficult to understand at the beginning. Nicholas Sparks does a good job describing the story of the first book in the second book, so I don't feel I missed anything.
I personally loved this book. It took me on a ride I didn't expect it to. The main characters names are Jeremy and Lexie Marsh. In the first quarter of the book they faced some big bumps in their relationship, mainly due to communication failures on both of their parts. Once they sort that out they happily get married and move into a nice new house that took a lot of money and hard work to get. Jeremy is a writer for a newspaper column and spends most of the book with writers block. Lexie supports his writing the whole way. Oh and by the way the whole time she is pregnant with their baby girl. They experience complications in the pregnancy, but I'm not revealing how it turns out. To summarize, it was an amazing book, one that actually made me tear up at the end. Thank you Nicholas Sparks. I would suggest it to almost anyone, if romantic tragedies are your thing:)

On other news life has been great. Today is the first time in a long time that I have actually sat down and watched a full movie without distraction. I enjoy being a housewife these days. Well I hope everyone enjoys:)

Sincerely,
Brittani

Time To Talk About My Family:)

Hello All! 
Today I want to introduce my family one by one and tell everyone a little about each member.

First most important member: Dalton, my husband. He is my matching puzzle piece, my other half, I love him with everything I am. I live each day for our relationship:) He's quite the nerd(the good kind), he loves comics, video games, and anime things. He loves me more than anything and he shows me each day. Here he is:

Our next family member is our oldest pet a long haired 15 year old chihuahua named Mista Wigglez. He has the most personality I've ever seen in a dog. Hes not yippy yappy or annoying. His tongue is as long as a piece of licorice. He loves cuddling, playing, howling, and kissing you. Hes a very smart dog also. Here he is:

Next is our beautiful 8 Year Old cat named Athena. She is the sweetest cat. She loves sitting on your lap and drinking out of the faucet, she sleeps alot during the day. She has the most precious green eyes and will head butt you which is her form of hug. Here is our Queen of the house and most tolerant pet ever. 

We also have 3 new kittens Saphirra(the girl), Axel, and Roxas both boys. We love them alot. So young and playful and full of love.

We also have three new kittens about 2.5 months old. One girl and two boys. The girls name is Saphirra, and the boys names are Axel and Roxas both names derived from Kingdom Hearts video game series. Heres a picture of our cutie pies. Who are so young, playful, and loving. Each with their own personality. Axel the more independent and calm, Roxas the most hyper and playful one, Saphirra keeps up with him pretty well, Roxas is the fatty. Saphirra is such a little princess very much a snuggler:) 

The one with the blue collar is Saphirra(if you couldnt guess) The red collared one is Axel and the black collar is mister Roxas:) 

Since this blog is loaded with cute pictures today there will only be a quote.

"Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start."

Days Come and They Go

Hello Everyone! 

Today I am writing about, well whatever comes to mind. Days come and they go is one thing I've learned along the road of life. I didn't realize how much time could be wasted until now. Some things have happened to me and my husband recently that I am not free to discuss just yet. It was something bad and good. It was bad because it was a move that directed us two steps backwards, but yet it was good because its going to help us move 15 steps forward.(might be over-exaggerating). In this next week we will be packing and moving into a nice little cozy one bedroom apartment. Its smaller but the rooms are nicer, and the rent is cheaper which is always a plus. Totally looking forward to air conditioning. I havent been to work in a while, I can barely do things at home that I used to be able to. I have alot on my mind as to what I'm going to do. I know the answer, but I also know that people are going to be disappointed and let down. There is only so much I can do, and only one life I can live. I've spent my whole life looking out for everyone else. I believe its time to live for me and my husband. One thing this situation has taught me is: dont live a life that you will regret you only get one chance, so make the best of everyday. I think half the battle in my mind about this big decision I'm going to have to make is that I dislike letting others down. I know what I want and what would be best for my happiness, its just hard to say goodbye. Life is a journey, I'm only a quarter way down the road.

Time for a quote:

"Don't live for the complete joy of others, live to where you can meet in the middle, your wants are important too."

Time for cute picture:)

The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time

Hello Everyone:) Today I am blogging about one of my favorite games. It is going to take forever typing with basically one hand. My shoulder was hurt real bad from the car accident we were in yesterday morning. I can barely lift my arm up. Which is not good for my job or my day to day life. Learning to be left handed is very difficult. I'm lucky to be alive. So on to discussing one of my new favorite games. Its obviously not a new game in itself, but I have just recently started playing this game in a serious fashion.

Zelda is for starters an amazing action-adventure video game. If you are like me, you love these kind of games. This game challenges you in almost every way. It challenges your coordination, your puzzle solving skills(the puzzles can get very frustrating, but if you really focus they become pure logic), your search and finding skills, and your  fun handling skills:P

There are so many secret ways to find certain items like rupees, heart pieces, and gold skulls.

I'm not too far in the game, but I'm making great progress. I'm going to continue sharing my game experience with you.

First thing I learned about a few secret ways to find RUPEES:

1) Look behind buildings 2) Cut grass hedges and walk through grass 3) Break all boxes and pots 4) Break rocks *Note once you enter a building and come back out the RUPEES reset themselves and are available for collection again and again.

**In the first level of the game there are 2 secret spots to get RUPEES. 1) As you walk along you will come across 3 square platforms that lead across a little pond of water. All you need to collect a blue rupee worth 5 is jump across without falling in. 2) In that same area you will see two dirt platforms taking you across water, jump from the larger platform to the smaller(very small square) without falling in and you will receive a blue rupee. I found this very awesome and comes in handy when having to purchase your shield**

Next exciting thing on the menu is finding GOLD SKULLS in the not so obvious places:

**First super secret Gold Skull I found was when I first entered Hyrule Township. When you first enter by way of drawbridge you will see a door on your right, enter there. In that room there are alot of pots and a few boxes. Go head knock yourself out and break all the pots for rupees. On the farthest wall from the door there are a few boxes. Take a minute to do what I call a roll smash and break those boxes, be causes a spider will be hidden in there, kill it to receive a GOLD SKULL:D**

**Second super secret Gold Skull I found was when I first started heading up to the Hyrule Castle. When you first exit town you will walk up and around the first curve on your left there is a tree that has 3 rocks at the base of it. Go ahead and bust those rocks for rupees, do a smash roll into the tree and it will knock a spider down. KILL IT!!! Receive another Gold Skull.** Gold skulls are very exciting and important later on in the game:D

Now for the last piece of juicy details on the part of the game I've played so far.. There is a really awesome Easter Egg/Cameo in this game. Its located in the Hyrule Castle. In the room where you first meet and talk with Princess Zelda. Turn to your right upon entering the room and there's a window, zoom in look in between the bars. You will see picture frames containing photos of Bowser, Luigi, Mario, Yoshi, and Princess Peach. This is needless information, but you true gamers out there will find it exciting and cool like I did.

I am still making progress on this Zelda adventure, so I will be sharing yet more information with you all later:) My husband loves that I'm really getting into this game. I love him he's my nerd!

I hope you all enjoyed.

Time for the quote and picture of the day:D

"Time passes, people move. Like a river's flow, it never ends. A childish mind will turn to noble ambition. Young love will become deep affection. The clear water's surface reflects growth. Now listen to the Serenade of water to reflect upon yourself." (Sheik)

It does go with today's theme:D Aww LINK:D

A Day In From The World

Hello readers out there! As you can see from this title. I am spending a day at home. Not going anywhere or anything. Not necessarily by choice. I am spending it at home with a cold, too dizzy and drained to stand on my two feet for longer than 5 minutes at a time. I am the type of person who gets stir crazy just sitting, I've been trying to find new hobbies to help with that. I'm sad I had to miss work today, but face it no one wants someone sick to cut and style their hair. So today I am writing about the things I love to do while at home. Things that make this high strung girl relax.

1) I love watching movies. Movies are video representations of dreams and fantasies we all have as humans. They are a way to escape from stress of the world. Another perk is you get to cuddle up with your loved ones eat some delicious popcorn or snack of choice and enjoy.

2) Music, oh my it's my world. I play clarinet and have for the past 12 years of my life. It is who I am and while my day to day life pulls me away from the world I used to know I constantly know that no matter what I am a clarinetist. Performance of music isnt the only great part of it. I love listening to an eclectic mix of music genres. Hearing what these artists have to share with the world. Their emotions whether it be through the lyrics or through the beautiful instrumental composition.

3) Video games:) They are so fun and great for ones coordination. My husband and I enjoy spending the evening playing video games. He will spend hours playing Spiderman while I spend hours playing Zelda. We love games like Kingdom Hearts(the whole series), Jak and Daxter, Tak, and others.

4)Reading and Writing, what can I say besides I love expressing myself in many ways:)

5) Arts and Crafts. Right now I'm working on Crocheting  a blanket for fun:)

Those are most of the things that I love doing in my spare time :D Well readers time for the quote and picture of the day

" To find what you seek in the road of life,
the best proverb of all is that which says:
"Leave no stone unturned."

Now this is my cup of tea:)

Introduction to My Life

Hey there guys! 
My name is Brittani Beavers. I am 20 years old, about to be 21. It's a very exciting time in my life. So much is happening on a day to day basis that sometimes it is really hard to keep up. I personally love writing in journals and expressing my thoughts and feelings. I've tried blogging before, but never got serious about it. When I was little I used to sit down at my desk and imagine a story in vivid detail and then try to illustrate my story through words. Music and the arts are a big part of who I am. Creativity and design are my passion. Finding the beauty in something and making it shine to the world; whether that beauty is found in music, hair, or books. I have a hard time getting my ideas down on paper. Its a chronicle condition of writer's block. I'm going to use this blog to write about the books I read, the customers I deal with on a day to day basis, my family and friends, the video games I play, and the music I listen to. It may bore some, but I feel that this will be a fun roller coaster of an adventure that I hope to share with many. After-all I am a newly married 20 year old woman, so it's bound to be interesting at the least.:) 

My quote of the day is:

"Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity."Henry VanDyke
