Allright. well how best to fill in my life. lol

Graduated HS. C/o 07. Had my fair share of flings and want to be relationships. lol

There was someone I wanted to marry....it came close to happeneing too. But like in most love stories...the guy turns out to be a total doushe. But what can ya do.

Been in the navy here almost 2 years. It's ok. I've been on deployment over in the middle east. Saudi Arabia was......breath taking. Seeing different cultures and experiancing them first hand. It's such a life changing experience. You'll never take living in America ever for granted again, i promise you that. When i first got there, i flew in Bahrain...i wasn't allowed to ride in the passanger seat of a taxi. I wasn't allowed to show any tattoo's. Woman on my ship had to wear long sleeve shirts and pants...show as little skin as possible. Not to MENTION it's 112 degree's outside. UG! lol But it was interesting.

I went over to the mall that was there. One of the largest malls in the world called "The Mall of Emirates"...it LITERALLY has a ski resort in the middle of it. Ski lift and slope..ice skating..little snowball fight arena's for the kids. It was insane! lol They've even got thier own version of universal studios called "Dubailand" lol........i didn't get to go to that..it was still being built.

It was so weird riding in the taxi and rolling down the window and seeing everyone on the streets stop what they're doing at certain parts during the day. listening to the music that plays throughout the entire area. they've got speakers placed all over the area so you can always here the music playing from the temple's.

Dont even get me STARTED on how they drive over there............wow....it's like 5oclock traffic on the majorist of highways...times 20...and there's no lines in the road to distinguish lanes. lol

We left Saudi and just king of floated around for awhile until we got to france...which in all honesty...is nothing special. Don't get me wrong..some area's are beautiful. Me and a couple friends took a bus to Canns and we ended up getting lost in a residential neighborhood. We walked for like 2 hours until we finally got to like a little town square. We found this cute little resturant ran by this little old lady. We went in to get a drink. she didn't speak english, but she kept pointing to me..then pointing to a vase of carnations she had. So i walked over and picked up a blue one and put it in my hair. and she touched my face and started smiling. I kinda understood her trying to say "beautiful". She was sweet. Then we walked across the street..and had to walk like another mile or so to get to the entrance to this beach...which was AMAZING.

It was small and secluded, but the water was crystal clear. And there was so much sea life! But we definitly underestimated the difference of the sun. we were red as lobstars when we went back to the ship. lol.

And now here i am. back in good ol' Virginia. it's ok here. It reminds me of florida alot...except ya know..it's snowing here right now. My back porch looks like a winter wonderland. no lie. lol

I've got the best of friends. Vega babii, Cody, Rashad, Travis, Leighann, Brandi, Josh #1, Tara, Kandice..i couldn't ask for any better. I do wish my best friends were here though. Like Rachelle and Madkins, James, Jay and Kluck Kluck. :(...we had such good times when we were stationed in Pcola. But we def did WAYYY to much partying. lol.

Robert and I found a FANTASTIC swing dance place up here though. It's like a resturant but on mondays they have dancing as well. I thought all east coast dancing was about the same. But i was wrong. I was dubbed the "Swing Kid" of the place. Because the dancing i'm used to at south florida swing dance productions..ya know there's alot of kicks. We were always really active and out there, kicking, jumping, swining. Here....they're very "mello" i guess you could say. They model my type of dancing after the movie swing kids. They say it's a very "young" way to dance....pretty much meaning I'm the kid of the group. Just because they don't know how to have fun doesn't mean I have to stop. lol

Turn 20 in 2 months. kind of exciting. I think i'm coming home to FL for my bday. seeing as how next year when i turn 21 i'll be on deployment over in africa. :(

Allright well i'm kind of bored. I've been watching Travis play "Street Fighter IV" on live for a couple hours now. Time for a change! lol

until next time!!!! :)
