This is my external hard drive. I use this like a crazy person now because of all of the pictures that I am taking for a small business that I am putting together. learned the hard way with not having a back up with my job a week ago, so now every day I am backing up my computer especially now that I am getting busy with my photography. Heck maybe eventually I can do this full time and not have to work. You never know right. Here is hopeful thinking.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 58

This is one of my favorite animals along with one of my favorite pictures. I have many favorite animals and I thought since this has two things that are my favorites in it I would choose this photo. I took this picture this past summer when I was at the Brookfield Zoo with Sam and her kids. I wish I could have known Sam the whole time that we lived in WI because she is a great person and I miss her a lot. I know I just have to remember that my true friends will be there for me no matter where I end up. It is hard to remember that sometimes, but if I keep that in the back of my mind I will be good.

Personal Challenge Day 107-113

I am not really sure what my favorite Holiday is any more. These last 5 1/2 months has really made me re-think what it might be any more. I think at this point in my life, I think any time of the year that I can spend every night with my hubby by my side is my favorite Holiday if not part of the year. Alex has always told me that when he is on deployment it is just another day and nothing more. I didn't know the reasoning behind this saying until just recently. This is now my 3rd Holiday that he hasn't been home for this year. I know all the other families in his command have been separated for a lot more, but it is different for me. My true friends know why it is different for me and again I can't thank them for all they have done for me this time of my life. Love you guys all and can't wait to bring Alex home so you can meet him. Pretty soon guys.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 56

This makes me so happy. Alex made a promise to me awhile back that he would be home in time for the flowers to be blooming and to spend sometime looking at gorgeous flowers with me. I took this last week at the Botanical Gardens when I was there with Amber and Arianna. I just get teary eyed just thinking about this time of year because I am so close to seeing Alex again I can't help but cry tears of joy. Some really good days are approaching very soon and I can't wait for them to be here because it is just way too long. I love you baby and can't wait to be in your arms again.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 55

I just saw this movie last night with Amber and boy was it hilarious. I am very fond of Tyler Perry's work and recommend any one that hasn't watched some of his movies to watch them. I know every family has at least part of these movies in their families. I have a pretty unique family in my life and I am so lucky to have them as my rock right now. You never know when you will not be able to get a chance to be with your family again, so I urge any one that might not be in good terms with their family to try to make amends with them now. Enjoy the movie because it will make you laugh like crazy.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 54

I my camera would be the one thing that I would bring to a deserted island. I know memories last a lifetime, but you know what so does digital pictures. I have such an amazing husband that loves the hobbies that I do and is willing to give me whatever I need to do the best that I can for my newest love. I absolutely love taking the pictures that I have been able to with this camera of mine and can't wait to get more with Alex in them. The last 5 1/2 months I have taken pictures with it without Alex being around and I have lots show him when he gets back. I am hoping to start my newest scrapbook by the time he gets back and the clock is ticking, so I need to finish the other one that I have started already.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 53

This picture was taken in NY. The person that I am referring to in this picture would be my sister Cyndy. She is a such a wonderful woman and is absolutely beautiful no matter what she might say. I love her to death and have been so lucky to have her support along with all my friends and family during the last 5 1/2 months here in VA. She has always told me that when I am having a rough time in my life, my true friends will be there for me no matter what. You know what, she is right. I love the fact that after 15 years we are finally living in the same time zone and we are both just a train ride away from each other if we needed to be there for each other. I love you big sis of mine and I can't wait to bring you to VA Beach for a visit.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 52

This is my all time favorite Baseball Team and favorite sport in my life. I have always been a Dodger Fan and always will be one no matter what state we live in. Yes, we might not always have the best record in the game, but you know what I would never change my love for them. The main reason why I love the sport would be for the memories that I have playing it in the front yard with my brother David before he passed away. I might not have the best skills when it comes to playing sports, but this is one that I can watch for hours. Heck when I am at the games in person, I even keep score and that is one of the things that I love the most about it. Hopefully Alex and I will make it to a game this year. Here is to hoping.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 51

This would be very similar to my dream car believe it or not. I am pretty found of the older models of the American Muscle Cars. This is a Dodge Dart and I grew up riding in one with my father back in CA. I miss driving in these cars because they show the history of American Made cars. Yes it was a gas hog, but you know what. I would rather get into an accident in this car than the ones they make today because they were made to survive wrecks and not be totaled in one hit. Hopefully one day Alex and I can get our dream cars and be able to drive and/or ride in them down the road.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 50

This is where I have been a lot lately since we have been having absolutely gorgeous weather this week. Unfortunately it is supposed to start getting cold again for a few days, but heck I could be back in WI where they just got snow again a couple of days ago. I know I don't miss that whatsoever. This is one of the many places I can see Alex and I spending sometime when he is on leave very shortly here now.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 49

Okay this is what my apartment on the outside looks like. This isn't mine exactly for a couple of reasons and for safety reasons I am not going to show you one of my place exactly. My apartment is on the lower level of this kind of set up. If you were to standing taking this picture, then my apartment would be on the flip side of this building. Even though it isn't my apartment, it looks like this entirely. I will eventually post pictures on here of our apartment, but not for awhile because I don't feel comfortable doing that right now.

Personal Challenge Day 99-106

GEN 4:23 And Lamech said to his wives Ada and Sell: Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, hearken to my speech: for I have slain a man to the wounding of myself, and a stripling to my own bruising.

GEN 4:24 Sevenfold vengeance shall be taken for Cain: but for Lamech seventy times sevenfold.

GEN 4:25 Adam also knew his wife again: and she brought forth a son, and called his name Seth, saying: God hath given me another seed, for Abel whom Cain slew.

GEN 4:26 But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos; this man began to call upon the name of the Lord.

GEN 5:1 This is the book of the generation of Adam. In the day that God created man, he made him to the likeness of God.

GEN 5:2 He created them male and female; and blessed them: and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

GEN 5:3 And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and begot a son to his own image and likeness, and called his name Seth.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 48

I have to admit that both of these guys in this picture are not too bad at acting and also not that bad looking. I am really looking forward to this movie that this picture is from. I have really grown to like Action Packed Movies and from what I have seen in trailers for this one, it won't disappoint any one in my opinion. Yes people are probably thinking that these are way over done, but you know what I don't care. Nice looking guys and cars, what else can I girl ask for right.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 47

This store is one of my many favorite stores to shop right now. I also do shop a couple of other places on a regular basis, but this is the one I do most often. I think the best part for us is that there is a Super Center opening up in walking distance of our apartment here in a couple of months. It makes it a lot easier especially since soon enough I will be needing to do a lot of walking to get places I needed to go when Alex comes back next month.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 46

I know this might be getting really old for me to be saying, but this is what I miss the most in my life right now. I think the only place I would want to be right now would be in Alex's arms. We are so close to the end of this deployment that I can taste it and it is killing me every day it gets closer. I have so much to say to him that every time I talk to him on the phone all I want to do is cry because it is just so hard to say it in the little bit of time I have with him on the phone. This picture was taken right before we said our goodbyes back in January. To be honest with you, whenever I look at it I cry because I miss him so much. We are so close to being in each others arms that it is almost a dream.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 45

This is my room. It is a collection of both my stuff and Alex's stuff. The favorite things that are in the room are the pictures that are on the wall. I would say the favorite part of it for Alex is the TV that is on the Animal Planet. There is a story behind that particular which is a pretty funny. We came here with a 19in TV but ended up a 32" instead.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 44

I don't recall ever being told that I look like someone. I know I was told that my good friend Rachel and I look like twins which is funny considering she has a twin sister Kelly. I have always been told to be myself as an individual and never try to look like someone else. I just have to remember that I love myself for who I am and Alex loves me the same way.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 43

I can't imagine my life without my Sailor. I got this off a friend of mine's page that I couldn't resist taking. I will admit my Sailor did steal my heart, but you know I think I stole his also. He has been by my side these last close to 4 months now and you know I honestly wouldn't have it any other way at this point. He has told me over and over that he is so proud of me and you know what I am just as proud of him. He is so close to finishing something he started almost 18 years ago. We are so close my love to closing this chapter in our lives. I started it with you back in 1993 and I am so honored to be by your side to help you finish it. No matter what our lives bring to us we are only stronger together than apart. Love you baby and I can't wait to be in your arms again.

Personal Challenge Day 93-99

GEN 4:16 And Cain went out from the face of the Lord, and dwelt as a fugitive on the earth, at the east side of Eden.

GEN 4:17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and brought forth Henoch: and he built a city, and called the name thereof by the name of his son Henoch.

GEN 4:18 And Henoch begot Irad, and Irad begot Maviael, and Maviael begot Mathusael, and Mathusael begot Lamech:

GEN 4:19 Who took two wives: the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the other was Sella.

GEN 4:20 And Ada brought forth Jabel: who was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of herdsmen.

GEN 4:21 And his brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of them that play upon the harp and the organs.

GEN 4:22 Sella also brought forth Tubalcain, who was a hammerer and artificer in every work of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubalcain was Noema.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 42

I know this isn't an actual picture of a home, but it is definitely one of the places that Alex and I have considered leaving once he retires from the Navy. This would be in Bristol, WI. We loved it all over in the state of WI and this was one of our favorite places. I know a few of my friends would be mad if we moved to WI, but you know what. Something that I have learned ever since I moved away from home is that your true friends will be with you no matter where you go. I have made some awesome friends all across the country and I can't wait to share all the experiences I have done with all of them.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 41

I can't believe that this was almost a year ago. This is our little family and I couldn't just put one of these guys in a picture so I put both of them. Alex is holding Lelani and I am holding Elvis. These are our babies and they aren't just a pet to us. In fact as I am writing this Elvis is reminding me how much he really misses his daddy at this point. I just keep on reminding him that daddy aka Alex will be home soon. Trust me I am ready to turn the hat back over to him to be his laptime person. It is really hard when I have both of them wanting to sit on me and Lelani doesn't normally sit on me. Ever since Alex has been gone we have a little bit of mommy and Lelani time at least once a week.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 40

This would be Donald Duck. I know a lot of people like Mickey and Minnie Mouse the most, but I like this guy. I have many memories as a kid of my dad making the voice that he would make when he would talk especially when he would get mad. Good times that I had with my dad and I will always remember those especially when I have my own children.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 39

Believe it or not this was the first movie that Alex and I went and saw back in 1993. I lived in WA for almost 7 months before we moved to WI back in 2007. I do own this movie and haven't watched it in awhile, but I think I am going to change that today. This is another place I would recommend you go and visit even if you don't like the rain that much. It is a gorgeous state and the Space Needle is spectacular at night at the Restaurant.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 38

This is a very nice thing to have every once in awhile when Alex has been gone. I have tried new wines with my new friends and I still have my favorites. The one thing Alex surprised me with already is a bottle of wine that he bought when he was in port last. It is a bottle of Italian Merlot. Something to really look forward to when he comes home in less than a month. Exciting times are coming. I can't wait.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 37

This was my day for awhile after Alex left for deployment. Elvis is on the left and Lelani is on the right. I can honestly say that for a few weeks after he left, that if it weren't for these two I wouldn't have a reason to get up everyday. Now I have a great group of friends that get me out more and more each day. I can't wait for Alex to come home so he can enjoy my new friends with me along with his two cats and our many fish including 2 baby Mollie fish.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 36

This is my significant other Alex and our good friend Ed and Deb's little boy JT on his birthday this past November in Kenosha. I really got him this year because since our Wedding Anniversary is on his birthday, I feel he gets left out for his birthday. This year I made it up to him. I didn't just let him take me out for our Anniversary that week, I had a few friends come over for a cake party at our good friend Josh's house. Boy do we miss you all and can't wait for us to have another party.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 35

This is a pretty decent place that Alex and I went to in Kenosha, WI. I know some people would think different about this place, but for the amount of about $60 for dinner you get a lot of food and nice ambiance. If you ever get a chance to get there when you visit Kenosha, WI, then try to stop by if you are in the mood for some Italian food.

Personal Challenge Day 86-92

GEN 4:9 And the Lord said to Cain: Where is thy brother Abel? And he answered, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?

GEN 4:10 And he said to him: What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth to me from the earth.

GEN 4:11 Now, therefore, cursed shalt thou be upon the earth, which hath opened her mouth and received the blood of thy brother at thy hand,

GEN 4:12 When thou shalt till it, it shall not yield to thee its fruit: a fugitive and vagabond shalt thou be upon the earth.

GEN 4:13 And Cain said to the Lord: My iniquity is greater than that I may deserve pardon.

GEN 4:14 Behold thou dost cast me out this day from the face of the earth, and I shall be hidden from thy face, and I shall be a vagabond and a fugitive on the earth: everyone, therefore, that findeth me, shall kill me.

GEN 4:15 And the Lord said to him: No, it shall not be so: but whosoever shall kill Cain, shall be punished sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, that whosoever found him should not kill him.

This is one of our favorite CD's. It has gotten us through a lot of arguments that took place on the many road trips that we have done together. The last couple of weeks have been really rough on me and just recently this particular CD came out of my file of music. It has really helped me for the most part, but I do miss my gang of friends that were there for me during my hardest times. I am learning who my true friends are very quickly here and boy do I wish I could just turn back time. I can't wait for Alex to come home, so we can reconnect and start a new chapter in our marriage.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 33

This was actually hard one believe it or not. I didn't actually have a picture of the house that I grew up at. I had to get this off of Google earth. I couldn't believe I didn't have one. This is an older picture, but heck you get the point with it.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 32

Again this was Halloween 2010. Boy was this night a fun filled night. We miss everyone that was there that night and wish you guys could be here with us. We are always going to cherish your friendships and hope they can continue down the road.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 31

This night look a corny for some people, but for it isn't. The candle that is on the left is for all of our loved ones that are sick and/or have moved on and are no longer with us. The one on the right is a candle that I light for Alex. He got me this t-light candle holder when we dating and I still lived in LA. I try to light it every day because as it says on the front of it, "I couldn't do what I do without you" which makes so much sense since we are both doing things right now that we might not like to do all the time. We have each other to get through our hard times and we have grown stronger each and everyday we are apart right now. Can't wait to make new memories my love. We are just one day closer to our reunion and boy is it going to feel like the first time we saw each other after 13 years of seeing each other.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 30

This was Halloween last year in Kenosha, WI. We miss each and every one of you guys and can't wait to party like we did that night again. You know guys are always welcome to come and visit us in VA. We are trying to figure out what we are going to do this year since we aren't going to be close as a sidewalk as we were last year. Hmm maybe we will come to you guys. What do you think?

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 29

This was taken back in December right before the Holidays. I will always remember this day because of course Alex didn't want to take these pictures at first, but once we go them done, he was happy we did. I get a chance to look at the prints we have in our apartment on a daily basis and I know Alex looks at them when he gets a chance on the ship.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 28

This would be a prison. I am not sure of which one it is because I got it off of the Internet. I hope I am never on the wrong side of prison. I have had to visit people there, but I never want to be in one.

GEN 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife: who conceived and brought forth Cain, saying: I have gotten a man through God.

GEN 4:2 And again she brought forth his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, and Cain a husbandman.

GEN 4:3 And it came to pass after many days, that Cain offered, of the fruits of the earth, gifts to the Lord.

GEN 4:4 Abel also offered of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat: and the Lord had respect to Abel, and to his offerings.

GEN 4:5 But to Cain and his offerings he had no respect: and Cain was exceedingly angry, and his countenance fell.

GEN 4:6 And the Lord said to him: Why art thou angry? and why is thy countenance fallen?

GEN 4:7 If thou do well, shalt thou not receive? but if ill, shall not sin forthwith be present at the door? but the lust thereof shall be under thee, and thou shalt have dominion over it.

GEN 4:8 And Cain said to Abel his brother: Let us go forth abroad. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and slew him.

I was a little worried about putting this one on here as today's blog entry. This is us and Alex's parents the day we got married. I do feel that is is very touching especially with all that is going on in our family at this time. Elliot we love you and hope you get better soon. Alex loves you and wants to make you proud by continuing doing his mission. He loves you and is so proud to be your son.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 26

This picture was taken the day Alex and I got married. The handkerchief is from my mom's side of the family that at the time my mom got married was over 100 years old. I got married almost 4 years ago and my parents are about to celebrate their 40th Wedding Anniversary, so we are talking about something that is almost 150 years old now. The earrings were my grand mothers on my mom side and the pendant was my grand mothers on my dad side. At the time we got married I only had one grand parent that was a live and that would be my mom's dad. Even though none of them were able to make it to our wedding, I felt they were there with me in spirit. I love them a lot and I am so lucky to be a descendant of these amazing people.

This is going to be my day today. I am working on my photography and my friend Victoria is going to be my guinea pig today. I am hoping to get some really nice ones of her and I will post them on here with her okay. This will be my first opportunity to do a Maternity shoot with my friend, so I am really excited. Any one else once wants to be used as guinea pig, call and I can see what we can work out.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 24

I am actually already in the process of changing this right now. Alex and I have really gone far from our faith lately because we haven't made time to go to church. I am firm believer that you don't always have to go to church to believe as long as you believe in your heart. God and/or whoever you believe in hears you no matter where you are. All you have to do is speak him and he will answer you at some point. You don't know when he will answer you, but maybe that is his plan. He will speak to you when it is the right time.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 23

I don't just love one of the books. I like the whole series. I am not done with the final book, but I am determined to finish it before the second part of the book is released as a movie later on this year. I have to find someone that enjoys the movies because I don't think I could put Alex through another one.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 22

I need to get better at playing some sports not so much just watching them. Alex and I are always trying to find new things to do as a couple and since he likes to play sports I thought maybe I would try to learn some games he likes to play. One of the many things I have learned during this time apart is to start doing things on my own. I have made him so proud of me by doing the things that I have that I honestly don't know who I used to be any more. I just hope that he understands that there is going to be sometime that I do want to spend some time with him. I just hope he doesn't push me away right off the bat because this time apart has been difficult for me as it is and I don't want that. I am hoping that if I can start playing a game he likes to play before he comes home, then we can have an activity together to play. I would have him teach me, but he has told me he doesn't have the patience to do so and I agree with him.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 21

This is the Unity Sand vase that I had made for Alex and I for our wedding. I regret this being broken shortly after Alex left because Elvis knocked it over. I am hoping to find another one like it or similar to it so we can make a new one when he comes back from deployment.

his would be part of the country Ireland. I know in another entry I put a picture of Croatia and this would be the other place I want to visit. I only want to go there under one condition though, I have Alex to go with me because his love for seeing the scenery has made me want to go there even more now.

I know this is blurry, but this was back in 1989. My last year and I believe day at my Elementary School that I had a lot of bad memories at the school. I have gotten over these memories, but I will remember this. The people that did the things to me were only jealous of me and that is why they picked on me. They needed to get over themselves and I am pretty sure by now most of the ones that gave me a problem are not as happy as I am today. That even includes when Alex is away from me at this point. I have become the strong independent woman that Alex wanted me to become and I am striving to be the wife he wants me to be. He has already told me how proud of me he is at this point in his deployment and hearing that from him makes me want to show that I won't let any one put me down. I am little scared that I am going to let him down when he gets home, but you know what I am okay with that. We are going to be back together again really soon and we will do the best we can with what comes are way.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 18

My insecurity is not that I am a Pittsburgh fan because I am actually very proud of being one. In fact, this is the first time in my life that I have been a Pittsburgh fan that I am really not hated for wearing my Jerseys. My main insecurity would be the way my teeth look. I inherited bad teeth from my dad's side of the family and I am also afraid of the dentist completely. I honestly don't know one person that likes the dentist that would go there willingly because they are just evil. I would love to have my teeth taken care of before Alex gets out of the Navy, but I need to make sure he is home to help me get through the process. It will be a long and time consuming process but once it is done it will be well work it. I just hope that it once be too painful because I don't know how much of it I can take and how much of me being a baby Alex is going to be able to handle.

New 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 17

This might be another one you are wondering what the heck am I talking about. All of my friends that are Active, Reserve and/or Retired Military would know what this stands for. All I can say to all my friends, Military or not, be careful what you put on here or any where because you never know who is watching my friends. I had a meeting about this last night and it changes my perspective on things now. If you have any questions, then please feel free to email me privately to find out more information. I didn't know much about this until after the briefing I went to last night and boy does it make me want to take my facebook account and hit the delete button. I am not going to do that because I keep in touch with quite a few people on there, but if you want to make sure you want to keep in touch with me, then you might want to drop a quick note to me to make sure. I have already done a purge this morning and will be doing one every month because I do not need all the drama I have in my life any more.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 16

These two inspire me the most in my life and marriage at this moment. This is my parents and boy do I love them. I have learned so much from them just recently with all that I have gone through in the last couple of months and I can honestly say I am truly lucky to have them and my sister in my life. I cherish every moment that I have and will have with them. I figure that if they can do it for close to 40 years of marriage now, then Alex and I can do it no problem.

Now A 60 Day Photo Challenge Day 15

This is in the amazing country by the name of Croatia. My mom's dad came from this country during World War I and boy would I love go back there to see sights like this one. There are a couple of places that Alex and I would love to go and visit together. This is one of them, but realistically right now I don't see it happening any time soon. First of all, I have to get a passport, secondly Alex has to get over his fear of flying and thirdly, I think I better go finally meet his family in Durango, Mexico before I ask him to go here. It is kind of hard for us to go to Mexico at this time because he isn't allowed since there is so much going on down there right now, but I will promise him the first chance we get to go we will for sure. I know he also wants to go to Ireland which is pretty cool for me because I have family that lives there also and I don't believe I have met them yet. We will just wait and see as time will tell if and when we go.

As I said on facebook. I don't like I would be able to survive right now if it weren't for this guy. I know he isn't just the Saint for the Troops, but I am pretty sure that he protects all people that are part of the civil service, so that includes cops and all. I have a few friends besides Alex that are in the service and are also cops. They do so much to protect us out there and I can't thank them enough. I know Alex is referred to as a hero and someone to look up, but you know he doesn't see himself as that. He is just doing his job and at this time in the economy he is lucky to have one for 2 1/2 more years. My good friend Lee would probably think that Alex is more of a hero than himself, but two of them argue about this all the time. I have truly found my need for my faith in my life again and I am hoping this is just a little push for me to continue it again.

As some of you may and/or not know that this group means more to Alex and I then anything. At our wedding, we danced to their song by the name of "With Arms Wide Open." The first time I heard that song I knew I was going to dance to it on the day I got married. I know there are other songs that people would first thing of when they are planning their wedding. I told Alex about it and once he heard the song and listened to the lyrics he didn't think twice about it. I have heard lots of songs in my life that have much to me, but you know what. This one explain so much how Alex came right to me with arms wide open. We are soul mates and can't wait to start the next chapter in our lives. He has supported me 100% since we got married and that means the world to me at this point.

GEN 3:12 And Adam said: The woman, whom thou gavest me to be my companion, gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

GEN 3:13 And the Lord God said to the woman: Why hast thou done this? And she answered: The serpent deceived me, and I did eat.

GEN 3:14 And the Lord God said to the serpent: Because thou hast done this thing, thou art cursed among all cattle, and the beasts of the earth: upon thy breast shalt thou go, and earth shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.

GEN 3:15 I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.

GEN 3:16 To the woman also he said: I will multiply thy sorrows, and thy conceptions: in sorrow shalt thou bring forth children, and thou shalt be under thy husband's power, and he shall have dominion over thee.

GEN 3:17 And to Adam he said: Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat, cursed is the earth in thy work; with labour and toil shalt thou eat thereof all the days of thy life.

GEN 3:18 Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou eat the herbs of the earth.

Okay I have said enough about my cats and Alex on here so for this one I would put my newest love of my life. I have always been told that I have an eye for photography, but never pursued it until now. Believe it or not, this was taken on the day that I got my camera and I was only playing with it. I now have two lenses, but I am still learning the ins and outs of my camera. I am hoping with the group that I belong to here in VA I can a little bit more about it since I really didn't get much of opportunities to shoot a lot right before we moved here. I know with all that we are going to see when we are here on the East Coast, there will be quite a few sights like this one to share with you.

This one was easy for me being that my weight at the moment is the thing I hate the most right now. Luckily Alex doesn't really care about my weight he just wants me to be happy with myself. I love the fact that he doesn't judge me for my weight right now, but since he has been gone since January I have changed my eating habits drastically and it is starting to show since he is seeing more pictures of me and so on. With me going to NY this past weekend, it made me realize how out of shape I have become over the years, so it is going to give me a push to strive for my weight loss goal. I am doing a 7 day cleanse right now and starting next Tuesday with the help of my friend Sarah who is going to be a Physical Trainer soon, she is going to start me on a workout routine. Heck you never know by the time Alex comes home in May I might be able to keep up with him when he goes for a run. Cross your fingers ladies.

This was a hard one. Ever since I met Mary back in 1997 I believe (correct me if I am wrong lady), my life has changed big time. First of all, I have the opportunity to sit and watch Dodger Games with these two ladies which includes Yvette. We also have to thank Lee because if it weren't for his connection we wouldn't have gotten some of the amazing seats that we had. Boy do I love that man. Sorry Mary, I had to share that with you. Second, I have had a major change in my life since I have met both of them and they stick by me no matter where I am at that time. That is what I call true friends and I will never forget that because I have had many friends that come and go over the years and these are only 2 of my true friends that have stuck by me no matter where I am in the USA or beyond. Love you ladies and can't wait to see you guys again. Maybe it will be a baseball game again, but on the East Coast.
