The story continues....

It's a bird, it's a plane.... It's a wedding?

As the crisp fall weather begins to roll in, and as the trees decorate themselves with bright red and gold leaves I can't help but thinking what a beautiful time of year it would be to get married. It's so easy for me to picture the bride looking at herself one last time in the mirror then stepping out onto the still green grass with one thought in mind. Today is her wedding day.

This year is different though, the fall is filing the air with color, and the leaves are still changing one by one, every day. However, instead of picturing an unknown bride looking at herself in the mirror. I'm picturing myself. I can see my self standing in the small white chapel surrounded by my closest friends, watching them walk out one by one ahead of me, and then it will be my turn and I will step out, and all the heads will turn to look at me, but I won't even notice because I will be thinking one thing... Today is my wedding day. I'm getting walk towards the man I love and promise him a lifetime of living life together. The ups and downs, the happy the sad, and all the adventures that two people can fit into every day.

19 days to go and they are falling as fast as the leaves.
Who would have guessed that an island boy would fall in love with an Iowa girl?
I guess it's the things that you don't know that dreams are made of. = )

The next time you hear from me I will be introducing myself as Briana Joy Johnson.

From Here to There

Just got back from Mexico with the SST Phase 3 that I was staffing.
Hope the pictures mean to you at least a little of what they do to me.

A New Hope

13 and 1/2 hours until tomorrow

As some of you are aware I'm having nose surgery done tomorrow to straighten out my nose from the times I've broken it and to hopefully allow me to breathe more freely though it. 
I haven't got much more to say on the subject. I've never had surgery of any kind before and I think I am reasonably nervous. 


Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow... Oh what will you hold? 


If you all would be praying for me that would be wonderful. 


Thanks... Love

16 hours past Monday.. and counting.

I have spent the majority of my day today playing Scrabble on my Itouch and reading interspersed with looking up Freeganism on Youtube. 

Freeganism? You might be wondering what that is and so I will tell you. Freeganism is the act of living off of other peoples toss outs. Freeganism is usually most popular among people who are trying to erase the carbon foot print we are leaving on our earth due to our wasteful nature. (also, though slightly less popular among people who enjoy the shock factor or just don't like spending money on something like food)  Many freegans are vegan or vegetarian. Makes sense to me because I'm not sure what kind of person would really feel alright about eating day old meats out of a rubbish bin. I don't know if I'd ever be willing to try it, though after seeing a group of people pulling a box full of brand new Extra Virgin Olive Oil out of the dumpster I do see the advantages. Many times things such as eggs and crates of liquids get tossed simply because one of the bottles or eggs brake and nobody wants to take the time to wash them off so the whole lot gets trashed. 

Dumpster diving is, however, frowned upon by most businesses. So I don't suggest trying it unless you are homeless of just really wanting a thrill. 

Cinderella's Shoes

Standing in Cinderella’s dancing shoes

Waiting for you, but no one knows

Will you stay of will you go, looking

For snow white

I’m under a willow tree

Starlit, moon struck, dreaming

If I were sleeping would you wake me

Would you take me

Away…..

Could you be my Charming

I don’t know, I can’t think

Your smile is disarming

All my defenses

I’m defenseless

Against you

Oh oh oh, it’s true

Come on, come on

Take my hand

Come on, come on

Lets run away to our make believe land

I’ll be your damsel in distress

Don’t worry about the ending

We can just make up the rest

Come on, come on

Before the daylight fades

Summer lasts for just a moment

And a hand full of days

Cross word puzzles

Have you ever stared at something for so long and hard that you found yourself hating an inanimate object? Right now I really really hate the this dang cross word puzzle that I'm working on. It will not budge and the hints are terrible. 

Other than that a nasty storm is rolling in. It's only 1:45 and it looks like 7:30 and the sun is going down and everything is grey. The wind is starting to pick up and the temperature is dropping. The air is still regardless of the wind, the fan in my office is on low spinning around on the ceiling to keep the air from going stale. I can't tell if there is rolling thunder or if someone in the gym is playing a loud base drum. Still waiting for the rain... We will see.......
