so there is this family i know from back home. they are such great people and they mean a lot to me! i know that no matter what they will always be there for me, because they always have been..whether it be something as simple as softball or something as hard as a breakup with someone you love so much! the ladies of the family give such good advice and are soo friendly! i get along with them so well! and the men of the family are so kind hearted! Leann, always has "magical meds" at softball to help me hit home run's, and always knows what to say! And such a good score keeper, as she would sit with my mom at the games i sure they would contemplate whether or not they should talk to me and if they did what they should say so i didnt go off. (they know what im talking about!) they definitely some of my biggest fans! She was one of the few who could calm me down...(most of the time) Chris..where to begin honestly he means a lot to me, possibly more than he will ever know he was such an amazing guy/father/coach which is what made it so hard to miss my last year of young miss softball, he is one of the only few people who knew how to calm me down when i got worked up during a game. and also one of the most encouraging people i know (along with his wife!- they are truly amazing together!). They have been there for me when others havent. Chelsie, ohhh this girl she sure is something else, her and i we're like one in the same! Playing softball with her was a blast, i wasnt sure about her at first but im glad i gave her a chance! I was sad to be missing my last year of softball with her! She's such a great friend! foods & nutrition with her was fun, as we passed stink eyes to people we didnt like as the same time! and would just give little looks to one another that the other just automatically seemed to understand. Tobi, first time i met him was in art my senior year. when i saw him i thought he looked like someone else i knew couldnt figure out who it was til i heard my teacher call out tobi risser..in my mind i thought yep thats right hes a risser looks like his dad thats for sure! not only did he look like his dad but he had a heart like is dad! i had art after foods so when i would make cookies or something i didnt like i would take them to art and ask him if he wanted them, most the time he would say yes..didnt know it it was because boys eat everything or because he was being nice. lol. Shadd, i dont know shadd all that well but from what i do know is hes a great brother hes always running around and playing with his little sister (at least whenever i was around ) He is very athletic and a excellent runner! i dont know how he does it! He seems like a a fun loving very active person. Cedes, this is a wild, kind hearted, crazy young fun loving girl. and i want to thank her for being friends my little sister and being there for her, since her and i did almost everything together before i moved! im glad she has someone like cedes to hang out with! Savanah omg savanah, first thing i think of when i think of her is "mustachio" hahaha i think only me sierra and her know what thats about. she is probably my favorite little girl in the world...and the only little girl i know who can master the stink eye just as well as i can and ive been doing it for 19 years! She is so care free, and such a softy, how could you not love her!?
Oh and then theres Brian, chelsie's boyfriend...he would always pick on me about everything he could think of. on day at a softball game he let me wear his hat because the sun was in my eyes, he told me it was lucky..False! while wearing that hat i walked like four people..but hey its the thought that counts right!? Brian is such a good guy, he fights in with the risser's well.. he too has such a kind heart and so caring, and he treats chelsie so well, you can tell he truly loves her! im so happy for both of them! thanks for being such a great guy to chels!
needless to say i consider these people all to be a part of my family! They have each touched my heart in a different but powerful way! this is such an amazing family, and i am truly blessed to know them and have them in my life! and believe me i could have made this blog forever long but i think i summed it up pretty well and they each understand what i am saying!
so to the Risser's i owe you a huge thank you and love you and miss you!

life's what you make it
there are people out there that only want to judge and put people down. and there are people that just want to be grumpy all the time. but why when you can be happy? why judge people? its not like you yourself are perfect?! does putting people down make you feel better about yourself!? if so thats wrong, and you should probably take a second to think about a few things! ya know life's what you make it, so why make it anything but happy, make it all you can! might as well make the best of life while your still young and able to do so! i know thats what im doing! i am surrounding myself with happiness, love, joy, friends and family, that i can always count on! life is great i have amazing friends and family that are always there when i need them, who support me and always give the best advice, what more could a girl ask for!? im am so happy with where my life is at & going at this point in time!
loving my life and those that are in it! <3
god bless!
this quote makes me think of the paragraph above
"there comes a time in life when you have to let go of all of the pointless drama & all the people who create it & surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget all of the bad and focus solely on the good. after all life is too short to be anyhing but happy"
(this is not about anyone, just felt like writting!)

you are my strength
Two days ago (Sept. 12, 2011) was mine and my husband's 6th month anniversary, its so crazy to believe we've already been married six months...HALF A YEAR! and in about a week (Sept. 20,2011) will be our three year anniversary, wow three years and we havent killed each other yet!?
how it all began, he asked me to the homecoming dance (Sept 20, 2008), he wasnt going to go and neither was i if i didnt have a date so my friends were talking to him and talked him into going then told him he should ask me. so he did and i said yes, not even being sure i wanted to go with him.. but i wanted to go and be there having fun with my friends. so we talked on the phone for a week or two after school and after work..before the day of the dance, and the more i started talking to him the more i kept thinking maybe i liked this kid!? which i definitly didnt want to admit, i surely didnt think he felt the same. so the day of the dance im running a little late for pictures maybe about 15 minutes and im sure by then he was thinking that i had stood him up! while on our way to dinner he said "ya know what would make this night even better" and i said "whats that" he said "if you would be my girlfriend" i said "oh," (wasnt sure if that was his way of asking or what!?) and he said "sooo, would you be my girlfriend" my reply was "sure (really sabrina sure!? you like the kid and now you probably blew it!) him "im not going to take sure as an answer either yes or no" so i nodded my head yes (oh did i forget to mention im a little shy!?) and he said " no i want to hear it" so finally i replied with a "yes". so we dated and dated..and days went by, weeks went by, months went by and finally our one year...now five days before our one year on Sept. 15, 2009 rob left for basic training, it killed me to say goodbye and to know he wasnt going to be home for our one year (Sept 20, 2009) and to know i couldnt just call him up when ever i wanted to talk, and that i couldnt see him. when he graduated basic and ait i was rather upset that i couldnt go with his family to watch. but little did i know he had something else up his sleeve! he surprised me after school, waiting at my car when i walked out. while my friend danielle is asking me "did anything weird happen today" i told her no and she was like well i thought he was showing up today, when i asked her what she said i looked up looking out towards my car and i saw him! i was soooo happy! i was yelling at her that i hated her for not telling me, i yelled it at him as well for not letting me know he was home, i dont do well with surprises! lol! but that sure was a good one, so while in the middle of the lane where my car was parked hes hugging me so tight, kissed me on the forehead then so sweetly on the lips, other students from my school driving by and honking and loud "awwwws" it was precious! now our two years have come along (Sept 20, 2010) and guess what hes in korea, although we did get to talk almost everyday and we got to skype often it still sucked, me and my friend danielle wanted to go and visit him but we had school. he did get to come home on leave though so that was nice! and that was when he asked me to marry him! so march 12, 2011 we got married! it was the most beautiful day..i could not have imagined it any other way! everything went great! and that has led us to where we are today! and i couldnt be happier! i love my husband we've been through a lot but we're strong and we've been able to stick by each other, and i couldnt ask for any thing more!

we're young, we're in love and life is great!

have you forgotten
yesterday i kept my page silent out of respect, due to what occurred ten years ago on September 11th.
i know i havent forgotten, that ten years ago yesterday i was sitting in my fourth grade socail studies class when my home room teacher who was in the room next door came bursting in tears streaming down her face as she tells my teacher to turn on the tv right away, said it was ergent! while other schools let children go home and be with family, mine did not. i guess they took this as a learning opportunity for us kids, to have us sit down and watch. though many of us were not fully aware of what was going on and how big a deal this truely was! truth is it wasnt a movie at all, this was real life...a life changing moment happening right before our eyes. for the most part we could tell this was a big deal, by seeing our teachers faces while watching it and seeing how frantic all the grownups got and how upset everyone was. so the question is, HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN!?
and if you have forgotten im hoping this song and these photos will remind you, of the hurt the tears and the pain..and remember all of the men and women that have lost there lives fighting, fighting for this day, fighting for their lives, fighting for freedom, and fighting for you! to all of you who are fighting for our lives and those of you who have lost your lives on this day and while out fighting to protect us, i pray for you! every single one of you are HEROS and nothing less! thank you for all you do and for all youve done!

this traggic event took place September 11,2001
between 8:46 am - 10:26 am, when the last tower fell.
we will never forget the men ans women who risked their lives
to protect the lives of others. nor will we forget those who continue to
risk their lives today to protect ours.
I hear people sayin'. We Don't need this war.
I say there's some things worth fightin' for.
What about our freedom, and this piece of ground?
We didn't get to keep 'em by backin' down.
They say we don't realize the mess we're gettin' in
Before you start preachin' let me ask you this my friend.
Have you forgotten, how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten, when those towers fell
We had neighbors still inside goin through a livin hell
And you say we shouldn't worry bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
You took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbin for you and me
It'll just breed anger is what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it everyday
Some say this country just out lookin' for a fight
Well after 9/11 man I'd have to say right.
GOD BLESS!

love always
today im going to write about loved ones, and how you should never take your time with them for granted for you never know what could happen. i was always told that living in the military world your life can just up and change at a moments time, well truth is that is 100% correct.. but not only in the military..its true in the real world too. you should never take a friend or a family member for granted, because they may not be there when you truly need them. one should cherish the moments they have with their loved ones. show them your there for them let them know you love them and remind them that you need them. these roads go two ways, so be there for others like you would want them to be there for you..and treat others like you would want to be treated. god is great for giving us the people he gives us in our life, so do whatever you can to keep them there. keep your friends close, because you never know when you'll need them the most. keep your family at the top of your list because no matter who pushes you down your family will always be there to catch you when you fall. and if your married/in a relationship always treat your spouse/significant other right. my grandma told me one day "the key to a successful marriage is..no matter if you have a fight always hug and kiss your sweety good night". so take advise when given to you and use it to the best of your ability! the point to this blog is to kind of give you some time to sit back and realize whose always got your back. and to realize that your loved one might not always be there for you but that dosnt mean you shouldn't be there for them. never take a loved one for granted, because you never know what could happen. someday life as you know it could just up and change maybe for the better and maybe for the worst..so cherish the time you have with them now before its too late, for hard times dont last forever..but family and friends do! so make amends with your enemy's, get in contact with those you've pushed away, let your loved ones know you love them. and always remember to BE HAPPY!

what a joke
i was going to write about an obnoxious message i got this morning from a name i dont even know. but i have decided not to. i dont want who ever it was to think they got to me, because they definitely have not. i read the message and deleted it. honestly i shouldnt even have read it, because it wasnt even worth my time! some people just need to grow up!
this quote makes me think of the paragraph above
"there comes a time in life when you have to let go of all of the pointless drama & all the people who create it & surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget all of the bad and focus solely on the good. after all life is too short to be anyhing but happy"
well i have some cleaning to do today. and reeeeally dont feel like doing it, but i know i have to. with me starting work and the hubby working all day everyday we definitely still need to make time for cleaning and time for our self, like together! that is something that he and i have kind of gotten away from is our together time! we started hanging out with friends like all day everyday, which is fine and its been a blast and we hang out with our friends together. but recently he told me that he misses us, like he misses hanging out just him and i every once and a while. i absolutely adore him, i could not have asked for anyone better than the man im with! he's so amazing to me!
bahhh well i guess its time to start cleaning!

the up side
so i seem to be losing contact with people close to me. i know there isnt much i can do about it, because i have tried. and one can only try so much before its they just give up. see the thing is, i have trust issues..i always have, maybe it has something to do with my past or maybe its just who i am...but to me it seems like every time i really start to open up to someone and trust them to they leave.. i was a little down last night and had a talk with the husband, and he told me not to worry because no matter how many people leave, he will always be there! and i know hes right because hes been there in the past, so of course he'll be there now! he told me not to dwell over something that i have no control over, which i guess hes right! but ill still be here for them, if/when they need me, because thats who i am..and i love helping people! but like i said before, there is so only so much one can do! i dont know what i would do with out my husband, he always knows what to say and when to say it, im so lucky to have him!
on the up side, i am loving my new job, the extra money will be nice. we are hoping to start saving a little from each check to have "ohio money" and just in case money(i mean you never know what could happen!)! we are also going to start putting extra change in a jar for our "ohio money" not sure when we will go home for a visit, but its better to have money saved up for when we do! and i cant wait til we do, we have talked about it a little more recently but havent decided when we would go home for a week or so. im glad i got a job when i did because now we have money for the extra little things we need, yes it would have been nice to have it months ago, but hey i have it now so i cant complain!. ahh speaking of my new job, i work in a nursery at the athletic club and i thought that working there with all the little kids (we can only have 20 at a time, ages 6weeks -6years) well i thought it would cure my baby fever but i swear its only making it worse! we had the tiniest adorable little three month old baby girl in there, she was fussy for the other workers but when i help her she was fine and fell right to sleep, oh my lanta! she was the cutest little thing! im really enjoying working there! its such a blast! working with kids has always been something i really enjoy doing! im happy with where things are at/going in life right now! to me it seems like things are finally looking up and can only go further up from here! (:

surprise
so it was either thursday or friday nighy around four thirty in the morning. i get woken up with a text from my big sister, she says "so would you mind if david(our brother) comes down to Tennessee with me to visit you?" uhm hello why would i mind!? i havent seen my brother in almost 7 months, of course i would want him to come visit!
so they got here saturday around 6. first things first, we went to taco bell! then we had some friends over for some fun, a few games and a few drinks. we ended up going back and forth from our apt and the peoples down stares. but when that started to get rather creepy, we quickly ended it. sunday i had work 1-4. tab hung out with a friend and david hung out with the hubby. when i got home from work david and rob were just starting to watch a movie so i decided id watch it with them. ehhhh bad idea! it was a scarey one, so i just cuddled up with the hubby and fell asleep! then later around 6 tab and tom got back from their day out, rob david and i ran to kroger to get stuff to make taco salad! so rob and i made the taco salad and then we all watched the zoo keeper, it was a pretty good movie! monday it rained but we all went to dunbar cave, david and tom had never seen it. normally they would have tours at the cave but is had been closed due to a bat being tested positive for white nose syndrome. now i dont know what that is, never looked it up or anything.. but im assuming its bad. so we went to the cave then back to the apartment ordered a pizza and played a few games. we went to bed around 10:15 since rob and tom had work at 5:30 am and tab and david were also leaving to head home around then.
i hope they had a good time, i know i did. i love when people come visit us! but i cant wait til we can go home and visit them!
