Marriage=Boring? I Hope Not

I just don't get it...

So this movie Hall Pass looks hilarious and I can't wait to see it; however, I just don't get the concept. So basically these wives are giving their husbands a pass to cheat and do whatever they want, no questions asked, and the husbands are really trying to do it.

Does marriage really get that dull that these options really happen? I want to see this movie and hope that these men realize what they have at home is more important than a random fling. Over time do people stop having fun with eachother and have to seek "fun" elsewhere? I hope this isn't my future, I hope that my fun with the person I love lasts or at least does not get to the point of a "hall pass".

Try new things, spice it up, explore with eachother but giving a hall pass is a big risk, I think, and may have some consequences. I suppose if you are not the jealous and insecure type, then this may be for you. I say cherish each other and make time for each other to avoid a dull relationship.

Nonetheless, I can't wait to see the outcome off this movie and I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the best. Whether they cheat or not, if you ask me if I would offer this, the answer is no!

Hero

So this is long over due but I needed time to figure out how I want to say the following.

****

There is a man in my life who has invested his time and energy into making his family and himself better people. He is a hero in my eyes. According to the dictionary, a hero is a man of distinguished courage and abilities, admired for brave deeds and noble qualities. I believe from the work that he has done he satisfies the definition. From 1987 to 2011, he has worked with the United States Air Force and served this country proudly. I am proud to say that this man who has served 1,193 days in various places around the world with numerous decorations and awards is my dad.

There have been birthdays, holidays, graduations and more special events that have been missed and understand that over time it gets hard to deal with for the family; however, I can say his work makes it worth a few sacrifices. I can also say that my brothers and I are more than proud of him and cherish the times we have. Now that he has retired there is more time with him and no more worries if he has to leave soon or not.

When 9-11 happened, I already knew what his responsibility were - his family. He had to put on his cape and leave to go save the world and his family from the bad guys. That was the hardest time for me but truly appreciated. Seeing him at his retirement ceremony brought a whole new meaning to the National Anthem and understanding that we are indeed "home of the brave".

As I see him now, he grew a beard and more relaxed than I'm used to seeing him. He used to say "I'm just doing my job" but to me just doing your job may be just enough to make differences. So thank you for your service, commitment, and sacrifices dad!

My Song

I always wanted to play an instrument. Create moods from my tempo. I want to learn how to engage people to my fears, sadness, and happiness by the press of a button or a pull from a string.

My lungs can go weak by me pushing out harmonic kisses through a brass masterpiece. Let my sounds carry you to somewhere safe or even a fantasy.

The music can be fast to keep people moving and on their toes. I want to make you snap your fingers and tap your feet. The music can be slow for you to close your eyes and remember the one you love, crack a smile or just relax.

I want to be able to escape. I want you to escape. Let the bass take over your heart, be moved and feel the movement inside of you.

My Funny Valentine

My Funny Valentine,

You spoiled me today but only today. The teddy, chocolate, and my card shows me you love me. I have a question for you, my funny valentine, why not show this love everyday?

Shower me with flowers and love notes throughout the year. Foot rubs and a nice home-cooked meal. Breakfast in bed and random romantic get-a-ways.

I appreciate the gifts you gave me today but let's celebrate valentines day everyday. If you want to spend that much on me today then that's up to you but spread it out throughout the year to make this valentines day last a little longer.

Love,
All the women who would love valentines day to last 365 days rather than one day :)

Useless

I haven't felt this bad in a long time. Body aching, feverish, and a bad cough. I think I might get a six pack from all this coughing that I'm doing.

I can barely eat and I'm starving! I hate feeling useless. I need to be on the move. Maybe I can use this time to finally relax, maybe I'm doing too much and it is all catching up to me.

As I lay here hoping to be cured in minutes, I will just try to gather myself and enjoy my bed.

The World Is My Playground

Palm trees, ruins, sand, landmarks.

I want to travel the world to see more than what I am used to. I want to learn how to cook with the unique flavors of the world. Learn new languages, climb the pyramids, take tons of pictures of places I could barely pronounce.

The unknown world will be my playground. People travel to foreign places for adventure, possibilities, or even opportunities! I will travel to get a better understanding of people and cultures, to learn and to teach.

One day. One day I will taste food from all the continents, swim in all the oceans and seas, and get sand in my toes from all the beaches.

I may have missed this plane, that bus and the train but I will catch the next one because it is never to late!

I Might Fail

Weddings and children seem to be the focus as we grow up. Would I be wrong to say that I'm not sure if I would be a good mom or wife? Does this fear of marital and parental failure happen to anyone else?

No I'm not engaged to have cold feet nor am I an expecting mother, but I have been around conversations about people talking about the "right" age to do both.

These fears stem from how I interact with my younger cousins and my youngest brother. I never felt comfortable with kids and I am not sure if they like me either.

Marriage seems so hard but some people know some tricks to make it work. I rarely fail but what if I do and disappoint them?

Career, marriage, and kids seem to be my future but what if I fail?

Is It Me o'clock Yet?

Aww...man!

Boy have I been busy. During the days you have nothing to do we complain about wanting more to do then when you get more, you have no idea where to begin.

I have been placed in a wonderful position with higher expectations and with it comes more responsibility. Juggling my job and school isn't new to me or most people. But the anticipation of what is to come is getting to me. I do not know where I would be in 10 years but I do expect success. To me the only way to achieve success, I must fully commit myself to it and doing so I have no time to breathe.

Time management is key and if I don't plan time for myself then I might go crazy. I need to relax and learn that I can't take everything so seriously. I understand the importance of school and work but sometimes I need to walk away and take care of me.

One day I will learn...
