I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free

Today is the 9 year anniversary of 9/11. I will always remember that day like it was yesterday, I was in the 5th grade at Cordova School. The Principle got on the intercom and told elementary teachers to go to the multi-purpose room and middle school teachers to go the gym. When my teacher came back she was crying in at that time i had no idea what was going on, she finally told us that 2 planes hit the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. Being in 5th grade I didn't even know what the Twin Towers were, but I did know America was under attack. I went home that afternoon and just cried cause I didn't know what was gonna happen. Every year on this day I always remember sitting in that classroom and watching the news. I will also always remember the many people who lost there lives on 9/11! I give my thanks to all the men and women who stood up at a time of need to help our country, and for the men and women who are still fighting for our country today! I could write days and days about this day so I'm gonna just keep it short!

Today was a pretty busy day for us... me, Emily and Britt! Was up at 8 cause of jack jack so we got to cleaning and got ready to head out for the day. & first off emily made something for her and she made the fire alarm go off haha, yesterday was B today was Em! Anyways back to my day... we drove around on base and took pictures then had to rush home cause she had a personal emergency, bahah, you would have to be there! Then we went to the cementary to pay our respects, we were looking for the ones that died in Iraq, but no luck today there was way to many people to look through :( & jack was getting hot! After that we went back to the flag and watched taps! :) it was such a wonderful thing to watch!

we went back to Em's place and relaxed! but shortly after B and myself decided to go get drinks from wal-greens, and let me just add because here in Texas they have one way streets we have to take 3 blocks to go to the wal-greens a block away, ugh. & might I add we had chili hotdog's for dinner and i put a towel over my lap just in case I made a mess it wouldn't get over Emily's couch, and as I was sitting down Em said, "Well I don't want you to make a mess all over my towel either," well as soon as I sat on the couch my plate completely dropped all over my arm! hahaha. We now just finished watching "The Messenger" it was good, but yeah the ending pretty much just ended... now we want to know what happened to everyone, ahhh. now its time to go to bed, church in the morning and shopping with the girls :) goodnight!

Three Best Friends!

Hello Everyone :) 

So Emily and Brittany talked me into making a blog, so i did! well to start this off im going to write about today, my trip to El Paso/Ft. Bliss to visit my future sister-in-law and nephew, and also B is there visiting them as well!

I have only flown once before which was about 4 years and it was with my cheerleading group, so today was the first time I would be flying alone, which I was really excited about but also very nervous. My flight out of Memphis took off at 10:55am. So Nick, my boyfriend, took me to the airport at 9 and he stayed around till I had to go back to my gate, I hate having to say goodbye to him even it's only a week! I landed in Dallas/Ft. Worth at 12:20 and had 25min to get off the plane, take a tram from C to D, go to the restroom and board my next flight, now that was not fun! I finally landed at 1:35, El Paso time, which was 20min early :) Emily, Brittany and Jack Jack were there waiting to pick me up, and of course they made a sign that said "welcome back from fat camp" hahaha. and Jack is getting so big :( 

B with the sign!

we really didn't do nothing the rest of the day but hang out at the apartment, but we always have so much together! emily made cupcakes and dirt&worms for me :) she's the best! & we have decided since Emily will be moving in Nov. and this will be mine and B's last time here in El Paso we are gonna make it a "Ft. Blissin it up" doing everything and anything we can possibly do here!

Yummmmy!

Em has been watching her neighbors dog while the wife is out of town and her husband has to work during the day, well he told Emily he would be home about 9 tonight, so when we went outside with Jack she was gonna get the dog, and well lets just say she walked in and he was home early from work and didn't tell her, hahaha! & also Jack became "best friends" with the neighbor downstairs, who Emily has complained about and during that B has found out that he is very good looking, lol. we always get ourselves into awkward situations. Brittany made us pizza tonight and set off the fire alarm, bahahaha
but at least it was goood :) but thats about it for today now were just talking, blogging, listening to music and trying to sing, hahaha! :) goooodnight.
