Anyone care to get me a box of tissues?

Have you heard of the new show on TLC called Surprise Homecoming? It's about when our troops finally come home and surprise their families. The reactions of the families are absolutely priceless. Every time I see the commercial I cry, not kidding. I think it's such a beautiful thing seeing the genuine warmth, love, and open arms towards the men and women who work hard everyday to protect the complete strangers who live in their country. 
It doesn't premiere until July 11th, but I'll be recording every single episode. I can't wait!!!

My Main Man

Even though there's only one more hour left in Father's Day, this is my shout-out to my pops!

My dad is probably the most consist, stubborn, goal-oriented person I have ever met. He knows how to balance everything and everyone just right. If you need help in any way, he'll be right there to led a hand; even if it just means fixing a leak in your sink. His values and expectations become stronger and higher as we grow as a family, only because he knows every one is capable of it. My dad has inspired me countless times to do what is best for   family and myself. He is named after two saints (Michael Christopher) and falls nothing short of either. It's nothing shot of a lie when I say my family (all my extended family as well) depend on him and he holds all our trust.

Even though he has always been the only main man in the family, (growing up with my granny and two aunts, then getting married and having two girls must've been fun) it has made him that much more stronger.

My dad is my rock, my inspiration, my EVERYTHING. He will forever be my main man, nothing and no one can change that. I love him with all my heart and I am forever in debt for everything he has done and will do for me.

I love you Daddy!

Quotes

It's just that kinda day. You're stressed, HAPPY, tired, confused, anxious, lost, or all of the above. You listen to your favorite songs hoping it'll do the trick. But sometimes, songs can't completely heal or mend us. Even though when we listen to those songs, you never know for sure if someone was actually feeling what you are, or even going through the same situation at the time. 


And that's where quotes come in.


Whether it was your best friend, Taylor Swift, or a member of Congress who said it, quotes have an effect like no other. They make you feel like you aren't the only person who has ever felt the way you are. They give you comfort and hope for the future. They motivate people to do wonderful things or inspire some to live out their hopes and dreams. Quotes are an outlet that lead to countless things. Because of what someone had said once, can change lives for many years to come.

So no matter what you're feeling, I guarantee that there is a quote out there that perfectly fits your situation.

My personal favorites:
"Happiness is not the absence of problems but the ability to deal with them"


“The cure for anything is salt water- sweat, tears, or the sea"

"Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do everything with love." 1 Corinthians 16:13-14
