What Independence Day Means to Me

HELLO EVERYONE!
I know this is the third time that
I've posted this week, crazy right?
But I just wanted to take a minute and post about what
Independence Day means to me.

I know for a lot of people it means bbq's, swimming,
 and fireworks. While all of those things are great
and don't get me wrong I love them too it has a somewhat
deeper meaning for me and I thought I would share just
a smidge of it.

I love the fourth of July.
I love the colors and the meaning behind this holiday.
It's important to me because without all of the
sacrifice that so many of our men and women fought
for us to have who knows where we honestly would be right now.
I'm so incredibly grateful that those men and women
fought for me and my freedoms...there's no way
that I/we would be ever able to repay them.

Independence Day to me means that you celebrate
and be thankful for your freedoms, I believe that should
be your main focus because without them you may not
be where you are right now.

The bottom line is to be grateful and to appreciate what
you have because there are SOOOO many people
who don't get the privilege to celebrate the freedoms that we have.

Also, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
to those men and women who have fought and continue
to fight for our freedoms that we get to enjoy--you all
are amazing and are definitely some special people!


I hope you enjoyed your Fourth and stayed safe!
Until Next Time,
GFB

Don't Put Yourself Through That

It's not always easy deciding to stop loving something that you've loved for so long, that you wanted forever. The first few days you are strong about and then BAM it hits you like a ton of bricks. You immediately start crying and wish that it had worked out and you don't completely understand why it didn't. You get mad and frustrated. You had all these plans made, you had all of these dreams you two were going to put into reality one day. It's hard to give up something that you loved. But deep down you know it's for the best. You've struggled for so long but you have the faith that your Heavenly Father is on your side and He will only do what is best for you. So  Don't Put Yourself through   the heart ache of wishing things were different because that person was put into your life for a reason, you learned a lot from those months you were together and you should be thankful for them. Remember it's not always going to be easy, but w...

2016: A Year of Learning and Thankfulness

2016. This year has definitely been a year of learning. Learning who I am and who I'm suppose to become. I've learned this year that I can do anything that I set my mind to do and that I just need possible.  I'm not who I was a year ago and I've learned to be okay with that. I'm coming to terms with the fact that I'm a totally different person than I was even two years ago. I've learned that life goes on. And I've learned that things don't always go as planned. I've learned that things happen for a reason and that things happen in Heavenly Father's time, not ours. I've learned that our plans don't always go accordingly and to be grateful for every moment because we won't be able to get those moments back. This year I've also learned to be thankful. Thankful for my family, who support me, in every decision I make. Thankful for my warm home on winter nights and a cool home on those warm July days. I'm th...
