What I'm Loving Wednesday

Happy Wednesday y'all!

Here's what I'm loving today!

I'm loving that I have no classes today!

I'm loving that spring break is just a day away!

I'm going to Charleston to spend a few days with my family and hopefully the beach!

I'm loving these cute iPhone cases from Lipstick Shades!

I'm loving that I've been volunteering at St. Francis Animal Rescue Center for the past couple of weeks.

I'm loving my sweet foster kitty Cora from St. Francis.

They are having to relocate to a new building and needed foster homes for their animals while they do so.

I'm loving that I got a 100 on my Chemistry midterm!

I was so shocked!

I'm loving that I actually get date night with Chris this week!

I seriously have been out of town for the past 5 weekends and this weekend will make it 6 since we'll both be out of town.

But I'm pretty excited for the quality time :)

What are you loving today?

From Army Duty To Sex Shop -- Weekend Recap

Happy Tuesday y'all!

I had the most interesting weekend at my Army weekend that I've ever had!

On Sunday we went out to do some driver's training.

The day seemed like it was going to be short, and I was so glad since I had a long drive home.

Boy were we wrong.

During the training one of our big tanker trucks went to turn and got hit by an oncoming 18-wheeler.

Here's how our truck faired:

The whole front was torn off.

And here was the other truck:

Don't worry. No one was hurt thankfully.

But needless to say it didn't end up being a short day for maintenance. 

All the drivers left in their trucks to head back while maintenance had to stay behind to tow the truck back.

So here's the fun part.

Our truck just happened to wreck in front of a sex shop.

The sign read:

"DVDs. Novelties. Live Modeling"

And of course,

I had to use the bathroom bad.

So I decided to brave it and go inside to use the restroom.

I was led back to the bathroom by a girl wearing a bra and smoking a cigarette!!

When I got to the bathroom I tried my hardest not to touch anything.

The door knob.

The handle on the toilet.

The light switch.

And then when I went to wash my hands I realized there was

no soap.

Now I can't be sure,

but I'm pretty positive that more goes on in this store than just merchandise sales

if you know what I mean.

All I'm saying is that while I was there i witnessed several guys go in,

and not one of them came back appearing to have made any purchases.

So that's how my weekend went from Army duty to sex shop!

That definitely wasn't how I saw my day going when I woke up that morning!

I Need You're Help!!

As many of you know, back in November I had to put my sweet Youri to sleep.

You can read about it HERE.

I adopted Youri from Lowcountry Animal Rescue. He had been neglected and abused all his life. He was 7 years old when I adopted him. He wasn't a dog that had a good chance of being adopted. Because of his medical and personality issues that he had from the abuse along with his age, he probably would have been euthanized if he had been sent to a kill shelter. For the time that Youri was in my life, he was worth every obstacle I had to overcome with his disabilities. I needed him just as much as he needed me.


I am forever grateful for rescue organizations such as this one and many others who give dogs like Youri a chance to find a loving home.


In memory of YouriI will be walking in the Bark to the Park on April 14 at Finlay Park in Columbia to help the homeless animals in our communities. 

Bark to the Park is the largest event fundraiser for Pawmetto Lifeline and, in addition to the funds raised, the event brings greater awareness to companion animal issues such as homelessness, abuse and neglect. 

My goal is to raise $200 to help homeless animals in South Carolina get the care that they need and find loving homes.

I would greatly appreciate any money you could donate,

even if it's just a dollar.

Donating is easy!

Thank you for your support!
