At least I'm not a HYPOCRITE
I have never claimed to be perfect, nor will I ever. I have made mistakes in my life, but I also own them. I think one of my biggest pet peeves in life is those who live a double life and think no one will ever know about. The truth is, people know, and people notice.
I know some of you reading this blog are doing so in order to entertain yourself by talking about me and what I may have to say so this will be the one and only time I address it because I refuse to stoop to your level of immaturity. This is my own outlet - yes I know and realize that I have it listed as public but that doesn't give anyone the right to feel superior and take what I say and use it as a form of entertainment for themselves or others they would like share the degrading with. See here is the difference between you and I: at least if I have something to say I will say it or confront and individual - but by all means, if at this point in your life you STILL have nothing better to do than read this blog because you are so wrapped up in sticking your nose in my life - I won't stop you - just don't expect me to return the favor.
Actions speak louder than words - we've all heard this throughout our lives and if you still don't think it's true then perhaps try watching your life one day and see how you look to an outsider. Human nature is cruel and evil - I believe that. Females are the worst of the breed. Men, shucks they punch each other in the face and forget about it - whatever it may be. But us girls (and yes I do include myself) sometimes can't let go - but I know that I CAN move forward with my life and not dwell on the past. Others, love to put on the persona that they can forgive and move forward but then behind the scenes they are cruel and deceitful - they always have the mindset that if they can find a weakness or inconsistency then they will use it in whatever way possible to inflict pain.
If you have something you want to know about me - or truly believe that at ANY point you have the RIGHT to be NOSY about MY LIFE ... then don't do it behind my back or ask someone else to do the snooping for you - just freaking ask me!! That pisses me off beyond belief to know someone first thinks they have a right being in my business, and then second can't come to me but gets someone else to do their dirty work for them.
Also - someone explain this to me: since when is it someone's right to be nosy about someone's life when you refuse to have anything to do with that person: no type of friendship/relationship, no contact ect...? And when is it right to tell someone how terrible of a person they are, and how you can't stand them, and how you never want anything to do with them again but then turn around and abuse the generosity and resources given to you by that individual?
As for the title of this post - I take pride in living as true and uncensored as I can - hypocrisy free. You see, I am a Christian, and I have no problem admitting that - just like I can admit to making PLENTY of mistakes and I am not perfect - but at least I am not a "show-Christian" I don't wear one personality out into public, walk the right walk, say all the right things and so forth because I am not a fraudulent follower - I am still true to myself and know my faults. BUT there are so many people out there..some who do just what I have talked about but claim to be super conservative and hardcore to the truth Christians who really are a hypocrite hiding in plain site, because as soon as someone looks away or they are on their own everything else, all these principles and morals they soapbox about constantly go out the window...
And I really need to stop here before I get myself into trouble...

Home Sweet Home! Clarksville, TN
It's been almost two full months since I up and moved to Clarksville, TN. While most people may not find it exciting I am really loving it here. As for places to live in the States, it's probably not a top choice for anyone, but as far as military towns this is once of the nicer ones that I have been in. Maybe it's just still the excitement of being in a new place, but I fully believe I feel so great about it because its what is right for me. I feel like I am starting to figure out where I belong and I am starting to find the place for me to be and for where my life path is heading. Of course it wouldn't be half as right if I didn't have the love of my life here with me and between the two of us and my pup we have our own space, like our own little family and it's such a great feeling experience you can't describe. You can bet I am enjoying all the little things too, the cooking meals for myself and _ _ _ _ _, the cleaning, the decorating/furniture purchase (although we're really not motivated to go all out - just the basics for now!). All the little things I have disliked previously I all of a sudden don't mind anymore! I'm sure soon the excitement of that will disappear as well, but until then I am fully planning to enjoy every bit of it! It's a great joy to be so excited and inspired for this chapter in my life and some may know what I mean, while others - just wait, don't rush it but when it is the right time be crazy happy and thrilled to enjoy the experience.
Here are some pictures I thought I'd share for those interested in my new home:
This was of course before any furniture, haha, and pardon any mess and the dog, she was very timid when we first moved in and didn't leave my side! We also have a second bedroom, 1.5 baths, a washer and dryer "closet" (that came w/the washer/dryer already in it!) but I don't have the best pictures of those...
Below is one angle of the living room after we got the couch and tables - the TV and entertainment center is on the wall you can't see....

He's Home!
On February 24, 2011 - the love of my life returned back home from his deployment. The welcome home ceremony was the first I had attended even though this was not his first deployment. It was both a rewarding and bittersweet event, knowing that not all the boys were coming home this round. It wasn't an easy year, and it was full of scare, and pain but so much love. I don't enjoy the separation, but I knew what I was getting into, and you don't get to pick and choose who you fall in love with, it just happens - so I have learned to just enjoy and embrace the life path I have been set on. I don't plan to go into much detail on here, but I won't ever shy aware from talking about my experiences - never hesitate to ask me any questions! I'll leave you now with some pictures from what I believe was a heartwarming homecoming....
