NYC and life

Sorry I have not posted pics of NYC, we took over 600 and that is alot to weed through..... so one day when I get a bit of time maybe I will post a few, not that anyone cares about them. So who knows. Life is good, I miss being on vacation, but I guess we all have to be reponsible. The summer seems to be flying by, I cant believe that it is already the middle of June. Before you know it, it will be time to go back to school, something that I am dreading like no other! :( I dont live sitting at a desk all day, but at the same time I like have my nights free to do whatever I please.
Family life has been a bit crazy lately, all of my brothers have managed to find girls and one of them even thinks he is in love. Boy he may be in for a big shock here soon, silly boys. As much as I hate to admit it, I do miss them, all three of them. I think of them often and get teary eyed whenever I see anything about soliders or war. I cant wait till they are all back home safe and sound. My parents are doing the best they can not to worry about them, but I know that deep down they feel that same way as me. The three kids still at home are giving my parents a run for their money. You think things would have settled down after 4 of us left, not a chance there! ;) My dad is counting down the days till school starts again and he can have some peace and quiet. My family is crazy, but I sure do love em!
I love being able to hang out with my boy, he is the love of my life and is so amazing! He makes me want to be a better person and I love the time that we get to be together. We usually dont do a whole lot of exciting things, but we still manage to have tons of fun. He knows how to make me laugh and knows what to say to make me feel better. We have been together for about 6 and a half months and they have been the best ever. I hope and pray that every girl will be able to find an amazing guy like him that will make them happy and treat them right. We all deserve it.
For all of you that read this, thanks, you are great, I love you all and dont know where I would be today with out you! Please keep in touch, comment or something and let me know how life is going! Until next time.......

Here are a few of my fav pics from the trip, enjoy!

Leaving on a jet plane..........

On THIS:

To go here:

With this person for a week!!!


Pretty sure I can not WAIT to leave!!!!!! :D

So many memories

Eight days and counting..... thats how long before I hope on a jet plane with the man of my dreams and head off for a fun filled week in NYC!!! Oh I cant wait! There is so much that we want to see and do, I hope that we will have time for it all. Andrew's sister that lives out there is letting us stay with her and her family and has gotten us tickets to the Mets game and is going to see if she can get tickets to Wicked as well. It should be great. Well the semester ended and I passed all of my classes so that is good. I have decided that I am not going to do EFY this summer. I am a bit sad about it but at the same time I am excited to have a summer where I can work and earn money but able to have time to spend with my friends and family. I already have a few trips and things planned so it should turn out to be a great summer with many memories made. I cant wait! An update on my brothers, Thayne is in Iraq and he seems to be doing ok. He has been doing guard the past week of so, they stand for 8 or so hours at a time doing a whole lot of nothing, sounds thrilling if you ask me. But he seems not to mind it. Brock left yesterday to fly to Missouri and then get his stuff together and get on another plane and fly to Japan. He will be stationed there for about 2 years or so, feels like he is going on another mission. ;) Skyler is living it up in the sun in CA at Camp Pendleton and just hanging out. He has been told that he will be going to Afghanistan in the next year or so, so he is just biding his time till the call comes. Life is good around here, I love being done with school and being able to come home and have the nights to do with whatever I want. Such a great feeling. I have been able to spend a lot of time with Andrew and I love every minute of it. We do things on the spur of the moment and have tons of fun with it. He makes me laugh and knows how to make me feel special. I dont know if I could ask for a better guy. Pretty sure he is a keeper. I cant wait to see what time will bring with this one, it has the potential to be amazing!!! Here are some pics from our last few adventures. He loves taking pics, so I am sure that when we get back from NYC there will be tons, but dont worry, I will weed through them all and pick the best ones. Love you all! Have fun and be safe! :)

NYC here we come!!!

So I am am already counting down the days...... I decided to see what kinds of things I would be seeing so I googled NYC and this is what I got.
I am SUPER excited!!!! May 26-June 2. I am going to this place:






With this person:


It is going to be fabulous!!!

Iraq?!?!?!

So I cant believe that it is already here. In less then 24 hrs, my little brother will board a plane and be on his way to at least 7 months in the remote desert in Iraq! I am so sad!!! He has mixed feelings about the whole things of course, he wants to go and serve his country but he also wants to stay and go to college and on his mission like the rest of his friends. But he is strong, and has learned alot over the last few months and I know that he will be great over there. It will be hard but he can do it, he is strong and willing and will do whatever it takes to defend his country. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. I love you Rhina, please be safe and remember who you are!! We will miss you greatly! :D

These were taken when he was in Palms training at a make shift Iraqi village. What a nut case!
