Never Forget

Not one soul will forget where they were in 2001 when our nation stood still. Me, I was in my 10th grade history class with Mr. Jackson. I remember him being so sad and angry. His facial expression said so much back then that I, at 15, just could not understand. I remember watching the news the whole day with my best friends, afraid of another attack. Little did I know the lives of my generation would never be the same again!

September 11, 2001 will forever break my heart. Because of this image...


This is what I watched that morning. The second plane hit one of the twin towers. 

I can't even describe the chills I get and the tears that flood my eyes just seeing this image!

This image though:


Is why every life matters. With all the garbage going around these days about people thinking certain lives don't matter, this image shows it all. We came together to protect and to aid one another. That day, we stood tall, proud to be American!

We ALL matter!! 

We are Americans. I'm damn proud to be one! 

May God continue to bless those who lost loved ones, friends, and coworkers, that day. More importantly, I pray those lives we lost can rest peacefully! 

9/11 never forgotten!

The Trip to End All Trips

They say to travel as much as you can while you're young. To make memories. Whoever "they" are, I think they're right! I travel a lot... It's no secret. I am even planning all of my trips out for 2017! This year I went on 5 different vacations. A weekend in DC, a long weekend in Clearwater, a week in Del Ray/Clearwater, a weekend in Nashville, and this last one has topped them all off. It was the perfect way to end my traveling for the year (maybe)!  I started Labor Day weekend in Las Vegas, to celebrate my 30th birthday, with 3 friends that I can't begin to express my gratitude for! With Friday came a ton of hype and excitement for the weekend ahead... It was a crazy weekend!... Now we all know that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, so I will simply say things that no one will understand, except the 4 people present, and I will be satisfied having told you my story... Sort of!...  It all started with Galliano, Esther, take your teeth out,

Quote of My Day

"Breathe, my friend. You are not old, you are young. You are not a mess, you are normal. Extraordinary, perhaps. In the blink of an eye your life will change. And it will continue to change for decades to come. Enjoy it, embrace it... Be grateful for the ride. You are not old, you are young. And faith will get you everywhere. Just you wait."  - Abby Larson

Take a Ride with Me

I have written before about escaping . When I lived in Tennessee it was a lot easier to just get in my car, drive into the mountainous area where my favorite lake was, lose cell service, and hide for a weekend. Living back in Ohio has made it a little more difficult to escape to anywhere. Life has been very crazy this summer. One of my best friends and I, however, found a great escape. We kept saying we wanted to work out, which I've even stated on my 30 before 30 list that I wanted to work out more, and we found a way that wasn't too much or too little. Bicycling There's a bike trail that runs north and south about 2 miles from where I live so we ride over to the trail and usually head north to get a little exercise and catch up on our gossip. I have found this to be a wonderful outlet. In the beginning we called it our BBR's (Bestie Bike Rides). Now I just call it a bike escape.  When my friend can't go with me, I plug in my headphones to my iPod
