I just want to share this quote with you all. I have a Tumblr account. I follow a Tumblr blog on there called bookmania and they posted this quote. I thought (and still think) that the words were (are) very true. Thus, I thought it was only fitting to share it on here as well.

"To live every day as if it had been stolen from death, that is how I would like to live. To feel the joy of life, as Eve felt the joy of life. To separate oneself from the burden, the angst, the anguish that we all encounter every day. To say I am alive, I am wonderful, I am. I am. That is something to aspire to." -- Garth Stein, The Art of Racing in the Rain

Over a month ago, my dad and I pre-ordered the tickets to see The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. We're going to watch it tonight at midnight. I'm excited as hell. Can't wait!

Will try to post more later after the movie. Though, it will be around 3:00 a.m. my time. LOL

Hope all of you get to see it this weekend as well. If not, hopefully in the weeks to come. *Big Hugs*

I'm a private person, but I wanted to share this with you. I finally had the pleasure of watching the fireworks last night on the fourth. I never had the opportunity in the past for various reasons. It was wonderful and fantastic. It was also very emotional for me. I was born in Romania when it was still under the Iron Curtain.

I came to the U.S. with my mom when I was four, just two months before the revolution happened and Communism fell there. Our life was hard and it's still hard in the U.S., but growing up and living here... well, I love it and I treasure it. I never have and never will take it for granted. My mom is a U.S. citizen and through her, so am I. We love this great nation.

Yes, the economy stinks, the politicians stink... it's not perfect. But nonetheless, we love and treasure our freedom that is granted to us because of the U.S. Constitution. And most of all, we love and respect our fellow men and women who serve in the military. Thank you for your service. I salute you.

I also want to share a video/song.  It's called "Proud To Be An American" by Lee Greenwood.  I can't embed it in here. So, if you want to listen to it, here's the link:

P.S. I have more graphics to post and will post them soon. For now, please respect the fact that I experienced something that I never have before, which is seeing the Fourth of July fireworks for the first time. Just give me a few days to calm down and not be so emotional, lol. Thanks!  Love you all.

Hugs & Kisses!

BTW, thanks for reading my little/long speech.

So I will be moving from Utah (my current residence) to Nevada (my new residence). It has been a long time coming.  I am not going to go into too much detail. I will tell you that I hate moving and packing. The packing is the worst. Ugh! LOL

Tomorrow... well, today will be our last day here (thank goodness) and after we finish packing/boxing everything, and then loading it into the truck, we will be out of here. We'll be heading out about 9:00 p.m. in the evening.  I'm really excited, nervous, anxious... all at the same time! ^_^

Lastly, I won't have internet access for quite a few days. This will be my only/last post until we get internet down there.

Wish me luck. Take care, guys! Talk to you soon!

My mom is really sick. For personal reasons, I will not get into the specifics. All I ask is that you keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
