Memorial Day | #BEDM Day 26

 

First and foremost, I would like to take a moment and remember all those who have served and are currently serving for our country. I would like to take a moment to remember those who have lost their lives for this country, in order for us to live in peace. I give my greatest gratitude to all of the armed forces. Thank you for all you have done and provided.

 

I grew up in a military town for the majority of my life. My father is retired navy and I have many close friends and families I grew up with who have served or currently serving. Memorial day to me is not about the three day weekend that most get, but more about remembering. They say you know you are getting older when people you know or know of are passing away more often. I can say that I experienced this at a younger age. I use this day to remember the ones I knew who have passed fighting for our country.

 

This day is so near and dear to me. I grew up with a family for a huge portion of my life, all of us kids played together and grew up together. We of course all went our seperate ways as we got older, but they will always remain a part of my life now and forever.

 

One of the young men joined the Marines and spent a lot of time overseas. He added to the amazing family he already had, & brought into the world a baby boy. Sadly, in 2007 in he had passed. He was KIA (killed in action) while overseas in Iraq.

 

I cannot imagine the pain they all went through and still share til this day. I can say this, the news of his death brougth tears to my eyes. We all may not be as close as we were all were in the past, but just knowing someone I grew up with and have fond memories of, passed away still shakens me. 

 

I wanted to take the time to give this wonderful family my thoughts. Rest in peace KV.

 

Happy Memorial Day everyone. Let's celebrate the freedom we have and thank all the ones who have served for us to have this freedom.

 



#BEDM | Blog Everyday in May Challenge Day 3

The Topic: Weekend Morning Routine

On a typical weekend morning, I tend to sleep in, if possible. When I say if possible, it means if my husband doesn't decide he wants to wake me up to spend time together. Lol ;p

Drink Water | The very first thing I do is quench my thirst. I drink a full glass of water to help clear my mouth out of all that morning ickiness. Plus it has an added benefit of waking up internal organs.

Brush My Teeth/ Oral Hygiene | I can't stand the taste of the morning ickiness, so it is a must that I brush my teeth. Along with brushing my teeth I go through my whole oral hygiene routine.

World Wide Web | I check everything on the intrnert, Blogger, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, school stuff, etc. Whether I am laying back in bed checking on my iphone, ipad, or in the office checking on the computer, it is usually one of the first things I do after fully waking up.

 

Eat Breakfast | At this point, I just eat whatever I feel like having for breakfast. I don't eat anything heavy or a whole lot in the morning. I tend to save the heavy eatting for lunch time.

 

Getting Ready | After breakfast, depending on what I have to do that day, I either get ready for work or get ready to run errands, or go back to taking care of tasks online.

 

During the weekend my morning routine doesn't consist of a whole lot, which I like because I like to take it easy as much as I can. :D

Beauty | April Faves 2014

April has come and gone, in what feels like such little time, & then comes May. Since April has officially said it's good bye for the year, I thought I would start sharing my monthly favorites. This month mainly consists of all things beauty, but I do not plan to limit it to beauty products. With all that said let's get into my April favorites. :) 

Random | April Fools 2014

I wanted to take a moment of my day to share this very funny April Fools prank that some students did to their professor.

As I was going through my Facebook feed, I stumbled upon this prank and I couldn't help but think about how my April 1st went. It was a typical day and no pranks were played at all. I never worry about the pranks, because if they happen, I just take them in good faith. Someone else on my FB feed posted something along the lines of "We all must be grown up now, no one pranked me." & it made me think the same way. Whether we all are grown up or not, we all love some humor.

So... nonetheless, I thought this prank was funny & I thought I would share it with you all! Enjoy! =)
