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.

Smile!
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
