Seaside Weekend!!!

This weekend is going to be a GREAT WEEKEND!!! When this is posted, I will be in Seaside Heights for one of my favourite events to attend. The title might say I am having fun. But, I am working and enjoying time with family. Not my blood relatives but my Legion family. This weekend in POW/MIA weekend. This has been an event I attend every year since I was in sixth grade I think. I don't remember. This is an American Legion event that is open to the public. If you are in NJ and want to learn something, join in on the education!!! And it is right at the end of the boardwalk. It's a win-win I think.
It is an all night flag retirement service that has different services and readings of POWs and MIAs from different wars. This is a somber event in my opinion. The opening services are a great way to learn what goes on. This is one of few that are all night. And as an Auxilary member, I am proud to be part of a great organization.

Here is the flyer for the Watchfire
Here is a post with a detailed meaning of the table.

This is the time where I get catch up with people from SouthJersey. I do not get to see them often since I am based in Northen New Jersey. I love talking with my friends and others. If I need a break from everything, I can just wander on the boardwalk and come back.
Once I am tired and need to sleep, I go back to my hotel room that I share with my dad since it is usually the two of us. Then we head back to the beach for the closing service and breakfast after. Once everything is packed up, it is time to drive back home.
This year it is from Friday September 18th to Saturday September 19th 7pm to 7am.
You can follow my Instagram to see how everything is going at the shore :)

Hope y'all have a great weekend and I'll talk soon! xoxo

it has been a long while since i last wrote in this blog. a lot has happened over the past one year. i turned 17, got an other tattoo, senior year of high school, got a job, and getting my license.

picture of my tattoo is coming soon but, its time for an update!

working has been a great way to escape from home. but i did have to go to the hospital for reasons that i am not going to disclose.

also, i have been working on my singin... my voice is not the same as it was while i was in choir, but im working on.... i have been dancing and losing weight... i love to sing and dance but wont turn it in to a career...

my career is history and communications.. if that doesn't work, i will go back to school to be a nurse... i could skip school and join the navy to be a nurse.. i would what to be a VA nurse.... i could work anywhere in the country and be able to give aid to those who have severed....

i started an independent study project about the American Legion... if you have any questions on what the Legion is, post a comment, send an email with your username and Legion in the subject, or www.legion.org will give you all the info you need to know... being a member, i know many things but this project is going to let me see a different side of the largest veteran's organization in the country...

i am still injured... i still am not allowed to play sports the way i used to do.. but, i still play soccer and volleyball for fun!!! archery is archery... what else can i do but stand, point, aim, shoot... but there is more than that and if you choose archery, you have to learn on your own how to be ONE with the bow!!! not to mention, wind speed is a bi*** to get when you shoot soo be careful...

there is not really else that i could talk about....
