30 Days-Day Ten

Day 10-Something you're afraid of

Sadly this is an easy one since I'm afraid of quite a few things. I wish I wasn't, but I just am.

I have a few phobias like bridges & heights, but buses I really don't like I'm truly afraid. I get really nervous and scared. I have only ridden in one three times since the accident. Two of which were for the walk of hope for my Aunt Jamie. Ok enough of that ;) "See" you all tomorrow.

Day 9-A picture of your friends

~TKN~

TKN Minus 2

I have a few different circles of friends. But these girls hold a special place in my heart so I thought I'd share. Plus we are getting together today because we are saying goodbye to one of own (tear) These are some of my best friends. I actually met them all online while we all planned our weddings. I think we are an intelligent, beautiful, and just all around awesome group of girls.

30 Days, Day Eight

Day 8-A place you've traveled to

My husband Josue and I love to Travel, since getting married we have take 4 big trips and many little trips. But one place that we keep going back to (infact we are there right now!) is Las Vegas, Nevada. I think we like a lot about it. Cheap hotels, great food, dancing, walking, bright lights, fun, and of course the gambling. We love the gambling ;0) Josue loves 21 and I love the slots. We have yet to win a big jackpot, but we have never really lost much either.

30 Days, Day Five

Day 5-Your siblings

I have 2 sisters. Kimberley who is going to be 23 this June, and my half sister Haley who will be 14 this July. Regrettably I didn't grow up with Haley so sadly I don't know her all that well. I know she is a cute kid, with a great heart. I love her and wish that I would take the time to get know her better. Kimberley and I grew up together mostly raised by my mother. She is a wonderful young lady, and I am happy to call her friend. Right now she is studying criminal justice at Cal State Fullerton! I wish her all the best in her endeavors and love her so so much!

30 Days- Day Four

Day 4-Your parents

My parents are both amazing, interesting, and inspirational people. John Bruce and Maria Lisa Brownwood. My Parents divorced when I was 11 and I lived mostly with my my Mom and sister from then on. My Mother is wonderful, I don't even no how to explain in words how truly awesome she really is. She is there for me, at the drop of a hat, pushes me to always do my best, and loves me unconditionally. I only wish I could show her how much I love her back, and how much she truly means to me. I always thought I had the cool Dad, and I did! He is an Artist, a realist, and innovative. He may not have lived with me for the second half of my life, and he may have hurt and made me angry but he was there for me in the big moments. He was there to cheer me on, and in the background if I ever really needed him.

I thank my parents for raising me and teaching me about life, love, respect, and most importantly religion. Without them I wouldn't be who I am today.



There are very few pictures of my parents together, but here are a few.
