Well, all I can say is this year flew by too fast for my taste! It seems like just the other day we started 2012 and now we are starting a completely new year in two days! If anyone knows where I can buy a watch that can stop time please let me know. Hehe!
I know it sounds cliche but I was thinking back on this year and on the things that I have done, didn't do, and wished I had done. I don't tend to like to follow the crowd but I actually would like to make a New Years resolution: to take more pictures. Yes, I know that is a rather random resolution but hey, when have I ever been one to fit into the norm? Lol. I will still try to strive to be closer to God and to read and study the Bible more in depth. I will also try to be a better person and reach out to people more, since I feel that I lack in that area. So that is my resolution for 2013! I looked back on the year and I was disappointed with the fact that I did not have as many pictures as I'd like. I'm a very sentimental person and I love to look back at times in the past and for this past year, I don't have much to show for it. There were great events that I didn't document that I now wish I had. So this year, a camera will always be at hand! Pictures will be taken! So put your smiles on people, because you never know when I pull it out and capture the moment! :) This will be the year of pictures!

A Very Special Day :)
So today is a special day for me and my boyfriend....it's our twelve month anniversary. Yep, that's right! A whole year together. Some people may consider that to be something silly to celebrate but I don't. With the way the world is today, we should be celebrating every moment that two people stay together and stay faithful to each other. Has it been easy? Heck no! We have our problems just like everyone else and we are constantly learning more and more about each other every day. It's a process that will never end and honestly, I think that's why you have to choose your life partners well. You have to find the person that God has planned for you to learn about for the rest of your life, and I know I've found mine.
A lot of people don't understand our relationship and some may not even approve of it but that's ok. I know this is who God has for me, so really, it doesn't matter if people understand it or not. I understand him. I know him like a book. I love him like crazy for it too :) Yeah he's not perfect but neither am I. We were made for each other to help each other. He loves me like I need to be loved and that's way more than I could ask for. We put each other first and do the very best for each other. That's what God calls for and that's what we want for each other. He has even grown my faith in God! He has prayed with me, recited verses to me when I needed it, and so many more things. This is why I love this man and I cannot wait for the next years to come because it will be the greatest adventure ever....and God will lead us through it all :) I love you baby :)

Clothing Optional?
Just a thought I had...
I'm not sure why but recently I have noticed that more and more girls are wearing skimpy clothing, a.k.a: hardly any at all. It seems the more I look around, the more I notice that the "in style" thing to do is wear low cut tops, short shorts, and skirts that are so short that if a wind were to come up, the entire world would be able to see everything. And the thing that bothers me the most is that Christian girls are becoming apart of this trend to. I see it all the time in church, fellowships, and even just in everyday life; perfectly respectable girls showing off everything they have just to get five seconds of attention from a boy.
Don't think it's true? Just look around. Go to the mall, to the movies, heck even go to church! I can guarantee you will find girls as young as 13 or 14 dressing like they are 10 years older than what they are. Even then, 30 year old women shouldn't be dressing that way, but you get my drift. God showed me this a few weeks ago by, of all people, my boyfriend! What struck me was that his response wasn't that of someone who found these girls to be extremely attractive. In fact, he was outright disgusted by them. He didn't understand why girls, who should be the biggest chase of a boy's life, were practically giving everything away by showing off their legs, bellies, and other assets. That got me to thinking, why on earth would a girl be that desperate for five seconds of attention.
Now girls, don't get me wrong. I know that when you dress in those tight dresses and short shorts with a tank top that a boy's attention is great. Believe me, I've been there! But let me tell you something, the attention is about all you are going to get from a boy. I doubt he'll date you (and if he does, it won't end well for ya!) and I certainly doubt that he will marry you, let alone respect you! When a girl wears clothes like that, the boy is only interested in seeing the rest of what you have. Sounds like you are a winner huh? Wrong! You only lose in this situation. I know, I know. It's hard being someone who doesn't get the second looks when your friends do. It's hard being the one without a guy asking for your number or even trying to talk to you. I've been there too, so I understand. I always felt like the one that never got a date, never got asked for my number, and never got a second look from a boy. But the long wait of being alone is totally worth it!
Girls want nothing more than to be loved and appreciated by a boy and any boy that accepts you when you are dressed like that, isn't an acceptable boy. He's a boy that only wants what he can get, and the second you give it, he's gone. Another thing, I doubt he has your feelings in mind. He may put up a good front of "I love you" and "I think you are the best girl ever", but believe me...it's a bunch of bull. Put on long shorts and a t-shirt and see just how much he wants you then. And if you are out with him and you are dressed in a way that doesn't leave much to the imagination, he should be man enough to tell you to put some clothes on. He is supposed to be your protector...doesn't look like he's protecting you very much does he? He's letting the whole world get a look at you and why? So HE can look good, not you.
I'm sure a lot of people, if any read this, will probably think I'm a nun because I have a few things to say, but honestly, you can't deny what is right and what is moral. You can choose to ignore it and that's fine but a woman of real integrity and respect will make the boys chase her, not give it away. She protects her body and depends on her natural beauty to make her an amazing woman, not on clothes that only advertise that you are desperate. So throw out the short shorts and the low cut tank tops and put on some shorts that cover up your assets! See what kind of boys you attract then and see if I am right...think of it as a dare. It may take some time but I can guarantee that God will not let you down. He blesses those who honor him. My life with my boyfriend is a perfect testimony of that. He loves me for me, not for my body because I never advertised it to him. In fact, he tells me that that is one of the reasons that he loves me so, because I keep it all covered and I protect myself for him. And it took me two years to get him! But it's worth the wait :)
So step up girls and be women...what could it hurt to try? :)

So my bf just had his 21st birthday and I wanted to do something really special for it...so I took him to Disney World!! :) We also took along 4 other friends, which made this trip epic!! I was hoping that Jonathan would love Disney and it turns out that he did :) We were up for a full 24 hours because we made it a day trip so needless to say...we were dead tired by the end of the day! But it was worth it to give my baby the most memorable birthday of his life because I love him just that much :)

Well Hello There! :)
Hello world! So I decided to start a blog to sort of help me to be able to look back at my life... like an online scrapbook :) I'm very busy so I don't have time to actually sit down and make a scrapbook...plus my life is pretty awesome at times and the world needs to see it since my friends and I are just too cool for a reality show ;) just kidding!
So anyway here are a few random facts about me!
*I am a die hard Christian! God will always be first and foremost in my life and I'm not ashamed of it.
*I have the most amazing boyfriend in the world! I prayed all my life for someone like him and God granted him to me, just when I thought I'd never find him.
*I am a Disney freak. If it has to do with Disney, I'm all about it. My friends and I go several times a year and once a year we spend a weekend down there to celebrate our friendship.
*I love to play board games. My boyfriend is not a big fan, but my family and I play them all the time.
*I have the best family in the entire world! We are extremely close and would do anything for each other.
* I love to dance. I danced for many years as a kid and I still enjoy doing it to this day.
