Pour Some Sugar on Me

A good friend of mine recently wrote a blog about her and her fiance's "Top 5 Celebrities they would leave each other for" haha. It gave me inspiration to do one of my own!

We talk about it all the time, whenever we watch a movie with one of our celeb crushes and it's always hilarious to me to see some of the women my husband is attracted to. I'm sure it's the same for him.

So, without further ado, our Top 5 Celebrity Lists of 2014. Enjoy :)

My #5 Chris Hemsworth

He's gorgeous in every way, from his ridiculously perfect smile, to his rockin' Thor bod. He can sweep me away any day.

His #5 Jennifer Lawrence

He said he chose her because... She's hot. Then he said, "They're all going to be the same reason, because they're all hot." haha

My #4 Michael Fassbender

Um. He's gorgeous, has an accent and I'm a sucker for accents. Btw, that's my hand. Don't tell my husband.

His #4 Gabrielle Union

My #3 Gerard Butler

I don't care if he changes girlfriends like underwear, he has an accent. 

His #3 Brooklyn Decker

My #2 Jake Gyllenhaal

He can be my bubble boy.

His #2 Olivia Wilde

My #1 Mark Wahlberg

Whether he's Marky Mark or the dude with a teddy bear for a best friend. YES PLEASE.

His #1 Kate Upton

Hell, I can appreciate that, she's beautiful!

Over You

It's so crazy how you can read something on the Internet and then a song comes on and your eyes swell up with tears. You weren't thinking about anything remotely close to that just seconds ago and now... That's all you can think about.

While browsing through Facebook statuses, dumb YouTube videos, links to people's favorite baked macaroni and cheese recipes, I see a little, red notification pop up that tells me I've been tagged in something.

I click on it. This song plays on the radio as I sit in my truck, letting it warm.

And just like that my mood changes. Seconds ago I was just a robot, doing my daily routine, just getting off of work. My eyes swell and I immediately start thinking back to all the memories I've had and that fateful night. How can something like that effect you so many years later?  I know it's much harder on my friends and family of the boys who died that night, but we were all there, celebrating God knows what. I'm pretty sure it was just one of those random parties we had out at the ranch, with some of our favorite people.

I remember clear as day, Garrett and Mat, relentlessly breaking the crystals in the Aftershock bottle with a screwdriver and passing some to me.

She said it's been 12 years since the accident happened that took away Carlos and Mat. There was a third guy, driving, but I didn't know him well and I feel bad for not remembering his name. Carlos and Mat both were like brothers to me and just moments before the accident my actual, by blood brother was in the truck and it could have been him. Funny how things work out sometimes.

I think all of us that were there that night can and will always remember it like it was yesterday, the memories forever burned in our minds, but you try to move on. Adjust. Adapt. You grow up, learn from your experience and try to not remember what you will be forced to always within you.

I promise, I WILL write a happy post soon, but for today... I just want to remember the guys, the fun times we all had and I want to remember their families. Their friends, fiance's, girlfriends and loved ones. Whether it be months, or years, I know it doesn't get any easier losing someone you care so deeply for.

Whether you know what I'm talking about or you don't, just remember: Those you love today may not be here tomorrow so don't put off telling them what you think they need to hear.

Roll Away Your Stone

So, I've decided to start my very own blog :) I've been contemplating it for a very long time, but never really knew where to begin.

Where do I start?

What do I write about?

Will anyone read it?

I've gotten to the point where I've decided to just write about whatever is in my mind at the time. Perhaps a fun recipe, a sad thought, a fun idea. I realize that I don't care how many people will read it, as long as I can get it out of my read and on to "paper", so to speak.

When I was younger, I used to write in a diary of sorts. A journal, if you will. As I got older, my Grandmother had a typewriter and she let me use it. I started typing different things: Short stories, thoughts, feelings. Anything I wanted because it was for myself, it was personal and fun.

I think I got my urge to share thoughts on paper from her.

She used to keep a journal. She started writing before I could remember. She would write in her book every day about different things: Her family, finances, thoughts, feelings. She rarely shared it with anyone. After she passed away, I inherited some of them.

I haven't have the courage to crack one open yet.

I believe that sharing your life with friends and even strangers is a great way to get different perspectives on things that you may be narrow minded about. Sometimes, I get stuck in my own head and focus so hard on one thing, that I don't see everything around it. We all need a little nudge out of the ordinary every once in a while. Especially me. I have a horrible problem with dwelling.

I think that starting this blog will be nothing but positive for me. I hope everyone enjoys reading what I share, and doesn't judge.

Just appreciate the fact that my views and thoughts may be different than yours. Maybe you too will discover that your focus is on one thing, when you should look at the big picture.

Also, a fun fact: I will be titling all of my blog posts with a song title. Check them out, you may know the song, or it may be something new. Either way, it will have something to do with how I feel at the time I'm writing... It may help give you some insight on how I'm feeling :)
