I have become a Supernatural Fan

I started watching the series a couple of weeks ago and I am on the third season!


When I still lived with my parents my dad would watch Smallville without missing a single episode. Naturally, I would watch this too and was a fan of Smallville, up until all the new superheroes started showing up. I can't remember if Supernatural was before or after Smallville, but point is that I always thought that Supernatural was silly. "Too exaggerated," I told myself.... My dad of course thought the exact same thing so I never even bothered to check it out, or find out what is was about. Yeah, I know, can you blame me?!

Anyway, when I moved in with my boyfriend, who is now my husband, I found out that he was a fan of Supernatural. SHOCKER! However, he was on like the Seventh season and so nothing on the show made sense to me. I always walked out of the room so I could avoid being confused. One day, I actually sat down and saw an episode of this show. In this episode, one of the brothers was stuck in hell and an angel was helping him survive. I become intrigued!

A couple months later, this past February, I decided to give this show a chance and I started watching it from the first season and boy am I hooked!!! Honestly, I feel sad for myself because I never gave this show a chance before and I missed everything that was so good for the crappy Smallville! Okay, Smallville wasn't that crappy but honestly I think Supernatural is way better.

In case any of you guys are wondering I am on Dean's side.


GO DEAN!!!

Divergent Movie Review

Just saw this movie on the first!

I listened to the book on audible last year and I fell in love with the plot. My husband and I heard and when we found out a movie was coming out we went crazy. Just like with the Hunger Games, but honestly I liked this one better.

I think the cast is pretty much perfect, even though I imagined Four a little more older and Eric was a little different, other than that I loved the movie.

I liked the fact that the movie pretty much stayed close to the book and there was only a few changes. Well there were multiple twists on the movie but to be honest they made sense, unlike other movies where the plot takes a 360 degree turn to make sense, but this one was great. By the way Tris is pretty much portrayed amazingly ! So props to Shailene Woodly for her acting. I don't think I had seen her in another movie but if this was her first lead role she did awesome! Theo James is really goodlooking!! Just had to leave that out there before I end this.

PS Sorry if this is short... First time I do a review in a long looooong time!!

My Relationship with my husband

It has been a little over a week since I got married.

I know I talked about this before in another post but I am finally coming through and telling you guys how this wedding went. I am not just going to talk about the wedding, but more about the relationship that I carry with my newly husband. How we came to be how we are, because in my honest opinion I believe that we have a beautiful relationship.

On March 28, 2014, Manuel and I got married at the local courthouse of my town. We have been in a relationship for 3 years and 3 months, we have been living together for about a year and half, and now we have been married for about a week.

Before we started dating, when we just starting to talk to each other, my parents discouraged me from going out with him. They came up with excuses to tell me, that I would stop going to school, that my responsibilities would grow, they even made up a fake girlfriend for Manuel. I still don't understand why they would go through all this trouble just so I wouldn't date him.

This happened on the winter of 2010. Anyway, he asked me out on a date. We went out on a winter night, watched TRON and then went to eat some Carl's Jr. That was our very first date. Not as girlfriend and boyfriend but just a date. We spent hours texting and messaging each other on myspace and facebook. I guess you could say that's normal.

We didn't spend Christmas Eve together though, but we did talk to each other over text that entire night and when the clock hit midnight he told me that Santa had put him on my Christmas wish list. I was the happiest girl! So yea, that's how we become a couple. Even though the first couple of months we were just friends because we didn't really hold hands or kiss until that March 2011. Point is we got to know each other for quite a while. He asked me to marry him on our first anniversary. Of course I said yes, but we agreed that we would wait a while before actually getting married. I was ecstatic! I mean, honestly at the time I was not thinking about marriage but well I did (still do) love him.

The following year we spent getting to know each other more and more.... we spoke about moving in together, as dream of the future, but never as a matter of fact. However, around the time I was going to graduate my parents started the divorce paperwork.... This was a very heartbreaking and sad time in my life. Even though I was the one that pushed my mom to go for the divorce, it broke my heart that my parents were splitting up. My mom gave me her reasons and told me everything that was going on between her and my dad. Honestly, I kind of wish that she wouldn't have done that... I would have been better off if she had left things out because well now I hold a grudge against my dad. I can never take that back. Not the point of the story!!!!

I didn't want to move in with my mom and I didn't want to stay with my dad after the divorce. Manuel offered that I move in with him. Around November 2012 is when I moved in with him. Both our parents wanted us to get married right away, but we decided that we wanted to live together and see how we would get along under the same roof because living together is much different than just dating each other. I know that everyone criticized us at first. They said that we wouldn't last and that we wouldn't get married and look at us now. They also said we wouldn't go to school, and we are going to school. I mean we skipped a semester this year but that was because we couldn't afford school and a wedding.

Back to my point..... Manuel and I have a great relationship because we were patient and we didn't get married right away. I feel like the way our relationship developed helped be the couple we are today. We aren't really just a couple, we are each other's best friend, we are lovers, we treat each other like friends and love each other like husband and wife, we argue, yes, but that's okay, only once in a while.

So yea.... I love the fact that I married my best friend.... I'll let you guys know how it moves along :)

-With love,
Mrs. Andy S.

Our wedding is fast approaching.....

We just went out and bought my wedding dress. Its a pretty peachy dress, not the traditional white but its beautiful. My fiancé liked it, I liked it and I know I will look beautiful in it because I will be happy....

That, however, is not the point of this post.... My mom is leaving the state a month before my wedding. She wont be able to attend and the more I think about it the more it hurts. I wish she would be there because there will be an emptiness in my chest and I wont be able to fix it.. And in the future, when I am talking about my wedding I will be sad that she wasn't in that moment with my. My father will be there... I wont let him miss that moment of my life... But its not the same, and I am not happy about keeping the thought of my wedding away from him, but it has left me no Choice.... And I think back to these things... What a sad thing.....

However, I have decided that I am not going to let that ruin the moment. Me and my caring boyfriend are getting married and nothing is going to ruin that. I will be so happy on that day and the days of preparation and everything will be fine :)

It is official, we are getting married

We have officially set a date and time for our wedding.


Manny and I are getting married at the end of March. I decided it was time to write about this because I want to make sure it is recorded somewhere. I want to make sure that I am able to look back and see how my feelings are at this
time.

Manny had proposed to me long ago. I had answered his question with a yes. We never set the date though. A few weeks ago we finally decided that it was time. I have been ecstatic !

Plans are flowing. Date at the courthouse is set. We are preparing for our mini-honeymoon. All is fine.

This will be the happiest day in our lives, up until now. I love my fiancé so much.... I know that whatever "goes down!" will be great :) nothing can ruin it, and if anyone tries, they will have suffer the wrath of Andy!!

Can't wait!

What happened to me in 2013?

My life took a very drastic change at the end of 2012..... Right after I graduated from high school I found out that my parents were getting a divorce... So before 2013 even started I knew how it was going to go...

The fighting between my parents climaxed and I just could not take it any longer... I moved out to my boyfriends house around November and my new life started..

My new year started with a new job, new responsibilities, new lifestyle, new everything. I learned the hard way what it was to actually have to worry about things. Before I left my home I was used to having almost everything done for me.. All I had to worry about was my school work, my parents fighting once in a while, and stuff that any random teenager could imagine. However, I was stressed all the time, all I could ever think about was the chaos that I had to overcome that day... my only escape was the days that I could spend with my boyfriend. Even then I had to bring in my problems to him. When I decided to leave... well I talked to my boyfriend's parents and we all agreed... (By the way, my boyfriend, who today is my fiancé, his name is Manny).

On the day I left my home my mom was away, she had not yet left our home but she was making the decision to leave. My dad cursed me out, over the years he had made me feel useless but on the day I left he made me feel like trash... I wrote him a very long letter and didn't talk to him for the first couple of weeks after I moved out. Anyway, my mom left not too long after I left. The only one who stayed is my little sister.

Starting a new life, with a new family was the hardest thing I have ever gone through. Yes, the part of having my boyfriend with me almost 24/7 was great! That is the only way I was able to survive. However there is a whole different side to this new life. I had to wake up and have breakfast with people I hardly knew. I had to go to sleep without saying goodnight to my parents and my sister. The first couple of months that I lived away from my home I had to cry myself to sleep... I called my sister almost everyday, texted her. My routine with her was the hardest thing to let go of... I still have trouble coping with that. I miss her everyday because she was my only company for the first 19 years of my life. I still see her, that I knew then... but it was not the same as living with her.

I was adopted by a new family.... that Christmas, that New Year's were the most sad of my life.... I kept wanting to cry because I wasn't with my family.... The worst part was that when I thought back, I knew that I couldn't come back.... Because there wasn't a family to come back to. My mom was living on her own and she wasn't coming back to my dad, ever. If I had gone back to my home, I would probably be gone from the world by now.... I always did say that I wouldn't stay with neither of them.. I didn't.....

Eventually I grew very fond of my new family, I learned to see my boyfriend's brothers like my brothers and his parents sorta like parental images. I am grateful for that, because as soon as I left, yes there was an emptiness in my chest that I couldn't fill, but there was also an immense weight lifted off my shoulders.....

I think I am going to have to end this post here...because if I don't it will be way too long..... So it does stop here...

I will continue this later on.....

With love,

Annie<3

To all come happiness...... Eventually....

It has been so long since the last time I took a minute out of my daily routine to write something  for this blog... It has been a minute since I went back to look at everything in here..... I wish I could've taken a minute in the past year to record the way I  was feeling, or what I was going through because it is so good to read it here.... It doesn't matter if it is bad or good... It just helps me feel better.... I probably let go of my feeling way better when I wrote weekly instead of not writing at all....
Life has been the most tragic, nostalgic, sad, depressing and at the same time, the most happy.... I do not understand how that is possible. It is not possible to recount every single milestone I've had since the last time I wrote a post. I cannot remember everything, and therefore I regret having not been here to tell myself what happened..... At the same time I am happy, because there are some things that I do not wish to remember, but I know that I have to.

I kept saying that I was going to include this blog in my daily life because it is like a journal to me. It still is... The only difference is that now there will be a big gap in it.... It kind of reminds me of 50 first dates... Because Lucy had to read a diary about her life everyday.... and even though I don't lose my memory everyday... I do lose pieces of it throughout the years so there are things I want to make sure I remember.... So here comes a frenzy of posts! :)

I am back everyone(Whoever is out there to read this...),

Love,
Annie
