Day 4 - Your parents

There's not much to say about my parents, but here goes nothing. They are good to me and always allow me to follow my goals wherever the lead me. Although they rarely spend money on extravegant things or even on working on their own house, they have plenty to allow me to go to school and pay for half for me, as well as anything else I need help with. For some reason, I was never grounded when I was younger, yet I never needed to be and rarely made any bad decisions. My mom only threatened it once when she found me and my friend walking around the neighborhood after midnight.

I love my mom so much, more than words can say. She is always by my side no matter what I go through and trusts me to always make the right decisions, and I always have to make her proud. She had breast cancer when I was about 4 years old, so she has been through some rough times. She is a great survivor and I am so proud of her for pulling through the fight. She is the strongest person I know even though I have seen her go through that as well as losing my grandfather when I was very young. She is the nicest person and all my friends love her which is so great. I think she learned it from my nana, who is an absolute saint :]

I can't say all the same things about my dad, but he clicks with my sister more which is why she also looks more like him than my mom. I am definitely my mothers daughter, and that's okay because it works good for us. Overall I am happy with who my parents are, and I wouldn't be where I am today without their support.

30 day blog challenge - Day 3 First Love

Day 3: Your first love <3

I have said "I love you" many times before. I am one for long relationships, so it is no surprise that every time I met someone new I thought I was even more in love than before. I had a relationship my first year of high school that lasted almost a year, then the rest of high school was a different relationship for 3 years, then another almost a year.

After being with Matt, I can truly say that none of these relationships ever compared. I had never been with someone who I could stand to be around 24-7! There is never a silence or dull moment with Matt, he is really my other half. We rarely ever fight and if we do it is for good reason and always end well. We are always on the same wavelength and thinking the same things

I know many would say that I am bending the truth, but I can honestly say that Matt is my first true love. This is the happiest I have ever been with anyone and I wouldn't have it any other way :]  We both have a great understanding that we are going to be together the rest of our lives, and I can't wait for the rest of our lives to start. I love you Matthew <3

30 day blog challenge - Day 2

Been busy this weekend but finally onto day 2!

Day 2 - Meaning behind your blog name - Sweet Dreams

I had a hard time deciding on a name for this, because I am still not sure what I am going to mainly talk about. Lately, all I think about is my future. Where will I work? When will Matt and I find a place and move out? How can I afford it? It's a troubling feeling not knowing what the future will bring you, but I have big dreams for my future, sweet dreams. I believe that if I reason out and dream enough that my dreams can come true (within reason of course) I can picture Matt and I moving out at the end of this year. I worry constantly, but between seeing people who can't afford it and still move out and others who make it and love it, I think we are responsible enough to make it on our own finally.

Another sweet dream I am currently having is planning a vacation to end the summer right (hopefully Disney World since matt has never been there and it is my favorite place, along with Las Vegas)

If you keep on believing, the dreams that you wish will come true :]

My first official blog

Hi guys

So Jill Williams influenced me to start a blog finally. I realized while driving home tonight that I have too many thoughts to keep bottled up in my head all the time. Although I realize I don't have many interesting things to post about, I figure I can say what I want, put a few little quirks in here, and open it up for anyone who cares to read. This is just my introductory post and I plan to do the 30 day blog challenge once I get used to this thing. For now I will leave a bit of mystery and leave a few little quips at the end, which I may continue to do with every post. Enjoy :]

Stupid people do stupid things: I have noticed that every single day I see or hear someone do something stupid, and usually it frustrats me to my whits end. Today was a usual, some guy decided to go out the entrance to newbury comics, except he was pulled over to the far left of the entrance so nobody could pull in. While getting through the line of traffic to the mall, matt decided to hold his hand up for the guy to stop trying to cut us off, proceed through on the right of him, and I flipped him off. This is only a mild case of the stupid things people do. Wait until I report on the things that happen at a supermarket, you may be in for a treat.

Photo of the day: I just bid on this cute sailor dress on eBay for the 3rd of July and thought I would share a picture of it.
Bye!
