I have been truly blessed in life lately. With family and friends and the fact that my husband still has an amazing job and is able to work hard and provide for his family and for this I an immensely thankful and appreciative. I wanted to share a lil words of wisdom that I enjoyed reading and thinking about.
Every night before you fall asleep, give heartfelt thanks for the wonderful day you just had (no matter what kind of day you had). Think about the next day, and intend that it is going to be wonderful. Intend that it is going to be the best day of your life. Intend that it is going to be filled with love and joy. Intend that all good is coming to you and everything is going to flow perfectly, etc. Then when you wake in the morning, BEFORE you get out of bed, again declare your intentions for the day and give deep thanks as though you have received them all. As you do this, you will begin to create your life deliberately, and you will experience firsthand the power that is within you to create the life you want.
Think about it.

Days like these...
Went to Vegas last weekend with the hubby and two great friends of ours. We had a fabulous time. It was definitely great to have a whole weekend away to let loose.
Spending time watching the boys go through school and learning things everyday. And having amazing times with friends doing absolutely nothing and still laughing so hard that we stop breathing. These are the days that I love the most.
Summer is fading away and fall will soon replace green grass with leaves. I'll have a wonderful time remembering the times we had during summer and hope that the days to come are just as awesome.
Until next time...
Xoxo Rockie (:

I will Always Remember, Never Forget
I'm sure as I sit here writing this, there is a somber mood sweeping our Nation. Today is the 10th Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on our country and these attacks also mark the last time anyone, group, clan, country, organization, or foreign military would ever take our people for fools.
Since that day, we retaliated with more power, unity, force, anger, hurt, and pissed off Americans that stood behind the men and women of our Military that was deployed overseas to make our country safe and let us keep our freedom.
We all learned fast that this would not be a fast easy road. Way too many lost their lives. Mothers and fathers lost sons and daughters and children lost parents the same. Brothers didn't return home, sisters were lost forever. All to ensure that America would never be vulnerable again and that the children of today would not have to bear the hardship of war that we do today.
I'm going to keep this short and sweet. I thank each and every person that has a hand in keeping us at the home front safe, and their families the same. I would like to say a personal thanks to my husband Tim Johnson, for being deployed for 9 months and fighting for our country when we were weak and also to my older brother Adam Brown, who went through 2 tours of deployment to do the same. You are near and dear to my heart and I am thankful to still have you here in my life.
I hope we all take the time to remember how this event brought our Nation together, made us stronger than we have ever been.
I will Always Remember, Never Forget.

Boredom. Better known as My Life.
This week has been a fabulous bundle of fun, loneliness, adventure, injury, sickness, guilt, and relief.
The husband finally got home last night from Connecticut, which describes the relief part. He had been gone for 7 days and left me to tend to everyone and thing by myself. But hey I'm super mom, I can handle it all, right?
My boys and I also followed Kaylee and Patrick up a narrow as hell steep dirt road and took the back way to Tehachapi to find the fire. My boys enjoyed that, we watched it and took pictures. That was an adventure for them.
Being here all alone hasn't quite been ideal, so just to have some adult interaction, intelligent interaction at that, I decided to break my foot so that I could go to the hospital and talk to all the drs and nurses that were dying to have a conversation with me. Heh heh.
Needless to say, I now have surgery on my foot this coming Tuesday. After that was done, Corbin got sick. The flu probably. But I believe it has passed, at least I hope. And in the midst of the whole foot problem and sick babies, I'm feeling guilty as hell because the boys missed 2 days of school this week. Who's a bad mom? I am! 0.o
Other than the usual, thats been all thats going on. I will be sure to update more often.
Until next time.

Me. All I can be.
Look into my eyes while I'm laughing.
You will see a fire that strikes more than happiness in other people.
When I smile, peer into my heart.
Tell me what you feel.
Do you feel a once broken object, now busting at its mending seams?
Can you feel the burning desire I have to pass this contagious feeling on to anyone willing to receive it?
Listen to the music and watch me dance.
Can you tell the passion I have that passes through my body?
Look at me playing with my children.
Share in the joy I get from hearing their giggles.
But what you will never see, feel, hear, or know is the dirt before the diamond, the pain before the sun shine, or the many strides I've taken while crawling before I finally stood tall.
Thats the person I am and always will be.
