The latest!

So I am proud to say I am a graduate and alumni of the University of South Alabama!! I graduated May 14th and it was awesome. Such a great feeling! It was really nice to have the whole family together. We are all so busy with our own things going on, that we're never really in the same place at the same time. It took me 5 years but I finally did it. I think I'm actually going to miss it....I know that I'm going to miss playing the most! Was my passion and it's weird to not have that in my life anymore. It's definitely harder to stay active as well!!                                                                       

After graduation I went to Orlando! We went to Seaworld and Universal Studios and stayed at the Hard Rock hotel! It was sooo nice. We got so many priviledges. We also went to City Walk which had places to shop, the Hard Rock Cafe, Margaritaville and this nice NBA restuarant. It was soo much fun. I had never been to any of those places before which made it that much better. It was also Meg's birthday the week before so we celebrated that as well!!

Thoughts...

Do I smile because I see you, or smile because it's polite?

You have made my life so miserable, yet brought me so much joy.

I don't know whether to thank you, or to ignore the whole thing.

I have so many memories, but even more scars.

I've ried frm all the heartbreak, laughed at all the joke.

Will we ever get past this?

Or will I always have a constant reminder of what could have been?

I know that that we always used to fight but I think it was because we were so much alike.

I don't regret what happened, I don't regret the years we've spent together.

Things will never be the same between you and me.

I thought one day you would end up down on one knee.

Our feelings have bee hurt and a trust has undoubtably been broken.

Will you take these words to heart, or are they just something that's been written?

Whether we forgive or whether we choose to forget...

It's all in the past now...time to move on but never forget why we met...

Every word means something...there is no filler!

I have a passion for writing and I honestly don't think I would be the person I am today without it. I don't want to say I have always been the shy type, but I was definitely one who didn't talk much. In some situations...yes...I was shy not sure of myself. But in other situations, like sports, I was never the shy one. I was never afraid to speak up and say what I had to say.

There are so many different personality types it's hard to define yourself to just one. You could be serious and quiet, kind and conscientious, quietly forceful and original, reflective and idealistic, independent and determined, logical with a creative mind, friendly-adaptive and action oriented, practical and traditional and people-oriented and fun loving. Or you could be someone who is warm-hearted and popular, enthusiastic and creative, passive and shy or you can be the assertive and outgoing type. I think that one point in my life I will be all of these if not more. I know that I have already experienced most of them if not all of them already in some way.

I don't think you can define yourself to one personality. You can't call someone shy just because they are quiet the first time you meant them or rude because they aren't automatically enthused when you come around. No one likes a lable. No one wants to be confined to one certain quality because that doesn't define who they really are. I find it really hard to believe someone can be loud and full of energy 24-7 all day every day. I just don't think it's possible. Having different personalities and qualities is what makes life interesting. It's what sets you apart from the next individual.



I know most athletes don't just want to be athletes. When we tell someone we're good at something else it's like they're shocked because they don't think we're capable of accomplishing anything more than throwing a football or catching a baseball or spiking a volleyball or kicking a soccer ball. We do have brains, and they actually work quite well. Sterotypes are demeaning. Everyone is different. Everyone looks different. Just because you aren't as smart as the next person or as tall as your neighbor or as fast as your teammate doesn't make you any less of a person.

You shouldn't try and change a person. I mean yes, there are certain habits that some people should kick, but when you are trying to change a persons character than I think there's something wrong with that. I am not outspoken and will probably never be. I am not one to express my feelings outloud very well. That's just not me. I hate getting up and talking in front of people and I get shy around big crowds where I don't know anyone. That is just me. And for someone to ask me to change that...to change how I express myself...is almost an insult. Saying I am not good enough being who I am. I can't be who I am and have always have been.

I have always expressed myself through writing and have a passion for it and I know it comes out through my writing. It touches people. It just flows right out as if someone were saying it to me and I was just writing it down. It's second nature. I don't have to write about everything. There are certain situations where things have to be said. And I know when those are. I know when I have to speak up. But don't ask someone to change who they are. If you don't like that part of the person than don't be friends with them. Or deal with that part of them you don't like. Suggest they may handle things a little different with you. But don't change who they are. To you it may not be that important, but to them...it may mean the world. It may not define who they are, but it's a big part of their life.

Accept it or leave it. Stay true to who yourself because there are very few people who will stay true to you!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day

I don't know where to begin.

You have been there for me; and will be there for me until the very end.

The things you know and the knowledge you grew.

I wish you only knew how much I appreciate everything you do.

I know we something argue and I know we sometimes fight.

But know from the bottom of my heart that I love you with all my might.

Happy Mother's Day

You kept me close; you kept me out of harms way.

Eventually yyou had to let me go; you knew that I was going to leave someday.

I know I'm growing and I know I'm getting old.

But all you have to do is call me and I will gladly come running home.

We will never truey be apart.

Becuase you an I will always have a piece of eachother's heart.

Happy Mother's Day

I thank you for all that yo've done throughout my life.

Youare always considerate; a kind and caring wife.

A mother you are and a other you will remain.

Just because I've moved out doesn't mean anything has to change.

I know I may not always share my care for you.

But please know that I truely do love you.

Happy Mother's Day

You deserve the best and you deserve nothing less.

I know things late have been challenging; a big ball of a mess.

But know that we will eventually get through this.

we just have to stick together and start by making  list.

So take my words and hold them tight.

And know that you will always be with me during the day and into the night.

I love you mom with all my heart and soul. I honestly don't know where I'd be if

you wouldn't have wanted to adopt 23 years ago. I couldn't have asked for a better

mom and role model. You're amazing and I love you!

Dr. Phil- Married Men Cheating

I occasionally watch Dr. Phil and today's topic was pretty interesting. It was a whole segment about women dating married men. I couldn't believe some of the things these women were saying. They didn't think they were in the wrong at all. Some of them even said if they had a husband and found out he was cheating, they would kill him and be completely devastated. One woman even said she left her husband for the married man she was dating yet...the married man she was dating was still married and wasn't planning on getting a divorce. How can you be ok with that? And then she continued to say the first time they "made love" was in the back of a car in a parking lot!!! Really? Girl that's not love. Open your eyes.

The only thing I'll give these women is that they didn't know the men were married at the very beginning. That's the ONLY thing. All of them found of within a few months that their men were married and they are STILL with them. That's ridiculous. If you wouldn't want that to happen to you and your family (if you had one) then why would you continue to see that married man? And half of them haven't even had sex with them at this point. So why are you staying? If you want a thrill then you need to go ride a rollercoaster or something. You're playing with someone's entire family. You are messing with another women's husband.

If your current marriage lacks that intimacy...you don't just go jumping into another man's arms. Either fix it or get divorced. Like who does that. These women are being so hypocritical when saying they would hate for that to happen to them, but don't see anything wrong with what they're doing. Why would you want to be the other women?? Aren't you degrading yourself...do you not know your true worth?? All these men are just telling you what you want to hear and some even saying that they'll leave their wives for them. But what happens a year or two down the road and nothing's changed...do you just continue to hope that he'll eventually leave her?

If you cannot be faithful and are looking(going on websites) to be unfaithful...the YOU SHOULDN'T BE MARRIED!! Their shouldn't be websites out there titled "Married Men Looking for Married Women" or "Married Men/Women looking for a affair." Why don't you just be single? Why would you want to ruin someone else's life? If you don't want to be connected to one person than you shouldn't be in a relationship. PERIOD. What ever happened to the law of being arrested for adultery? Why would you want to be called a mistress...that's not cute.

And this women had the nerve to say it's a man thing..it's a greedy thing..their missing something somewhere else..they want their cake and eat it too. Girl...what the hell are you doing?? You want the exact same thing. You want your cake and eat it too. You don't want to have an obligation to someone...you want to be free but get what you want at the same time. You don't have to clean after him, cook for him, do his laundry or hear him bicker. You basically can be single and be in a relationship at the same time without all the added duties/responsibilities.

One of the women was having her whole life basically paid for. She got a new apartment that was fully paid for by him ($2000), a new car, a monthly allowance ($2000) and when they were together he would pretty much buy her whatever she wanted. She said something like, "Why should I have to go home at night to this broken down old shack with nothing, when he is going home to a huge house and a home cooked meal?" Girl you a gold digger and you selling yourself for sex. She said that she doesn't consider herself a prostitute. Just because you aren't on a street corner with no clothes on doesn't mean you're not a hoe. If you weren't having sex with him he wouldn't be givin you all that money!

"Any married man who cheats is a worthless man," is what one of the girls Dr. Phil was interviewing said. If he's so worthless...than why are you with him? And what does that make you? I really don't think these women think before they speak because as the show when on they just kept on making themselves look worse and worse.

I just couldn't believe it, nor do I understand any of it. They just kept on making excuse after excuse. GET YOUR OWN MAN!

This will be continued because on the next episode some of the married women that got cheated will be on the show. Should be interesting!
