Days 2 and 3:

Days 2: the person you have been close to the longest.

Wow, I actually have to think about that. Besides my family which is a no brainer, but I can't decide who I've been closest to outside my family. I have kind of gone through a phase of "falling out" with people. I don't know if it's because I havent' seen anyone since graduation, but I've lost and gained friends.

I guess I can say I've been friends with Lauren for over 15 years, and Liz for 5 years and we all work together, but that's just a number for me. We've gone through periods where I don't know what's going on with them. I've known people since Jr. High, but again, those are numbers.

I'd have to say the "closest" person I've been with is Maygen. We've gone through ups and downs, we've held each other when life seems to be falling apart, We seen guys come and go in our lives and now we both have found the ones we want to spend our lives with. She's moved 5,000 miles around the world from me, but nothing compares to the times we've had together. The laughter and the tears, the jokes we've made, the adventures we had and of course the memories that are forever embedded in my heart.

I've had some of the best times with her. From making homemade frappichinos to plotting recon missions in the dead of night -- oh wait that was the same day :p I've spilled m guts to her and she's always been there as a shoulder to cry on and I've always dropped everything to be there for her. She really is the only person I'd drop everything to be with, I just wish Guam hadn't taken her from me... but that's what happens when you grow up.

She will forever be my best friend, my unbiological sister and my second half.




Day 3: the Cast of your favorite show:

That's easy, the cast of NCIS. I love the casting and the show it's self. I've seen just about every show from day one to last weeks latest airing. Mark Harmon makes a perfect Leroy Jethro Gibbs, and I love Abby!

I'm still never going to forget the time I was in my college math class and we had to take our final early because the Prof was going to California to see his son for the holidays and tour the set of NCIS... He was extreamly excited because Prof. Murray was seeing his son Sean... yeah, that Sean, the Seam Murray that plays Tim McGee. I was blown away, my math professor was the father of a real life actor? Wow, cool.

Anyways... I love NCIS with a passion and I don't want to get into a debate about it, but I do like Ziva better than Kate. Ziva is just the kick ass girl I want to be. She may not look tough, but she can really pack a punch.

New Favorite song, "If I run" by the Harters.

2. I have recently gotten in touch with my emotions, so I am highly sensitive.
3. I love studying Psychology.

5. I am not musically gifted, my I am a classically trained vocalist.

11. I have big plans on trying to work for the Bill Gates Foundation and merging new technologies with the military, but I am in no way a computer nerd. My plan is more Psychological... by helping our members with a safe and effective way to recover from PTSD, and sever mental or physical wounds.

Sweet Tea and Sour Apples.

I should share with you the reason I chose this particular title for my blog, so here we go:

It’s really funny that Caleb and i made the connection around the same time that we are both from the opposite parts of the country. I mean really, he’s from Savannah, Georgia, and I’m from Poulsbo (Seattle area), Washington… we couldn’t get any further apart… unless I was from Alaska and he was from Florida… but we aren’t, so there.

For weeks I have been trying to come up with a theme for our wedding invitations, and just today I came up with Sweet Tea and Sour Apples. It makes sense too, Caleb LOVES sweet tea, I mean hes love LOVES it and so do I, and I come from a state where we produce Apples of every kind… so it makes sense. That and i couldn’t think of anything to go along with Georgia Peaches… It’s also funny how we are “uniting” Northwest and Southeast… now, I know we aren’t the only people that have gotten together from different parts of the country, but it’s really ironic in my family.

I guess I’m just passing on the “tradition” because my mom is from Rhode Island and my BioDad is from Washington, and my step dad is from San Diego, California. So in a sense I am just going with what everyone else has done… but it’s funny I think of this NOW. I really had one of those “Light bulb” moments where i wanted to shout out “EUREKA!!!” but I did not because as I was respecting my sister’s whis to sleep in until noon :p  

So of course, going along with this “theme” I will be having some Sweet Tea and Apples served at my wedding… now to look up recipes that have apples in them so I can start on our menu. Yay, off I go… to the next tab where I will stare aimlessly until my eyes cross :)  

You will find

That I tend to write in circles. I can't help it, that's how my brain works. I can't seem to stop spinning around and around. I just want to sort things out, but the only way I can do that is by writing through my thoughts. 


I'm not writing this to anyone in specific, but I'm writing it just to see where I end up. I tend to write all the time, even if it's just a sentence or a whole novel. I can't seem to stop thinking, so I keep writing, makes sense, right? Who knows, I may dive into my creative side a pull a story out of the chambers in my head. 


This is just a way for me to release my inner confusion so that I can lay it out on the table. So try to understand me. You will find that I go through waves of emotions, so if you are moved, great, if you aren't that's fine, I'm only one person.
