Cute as a Burton: 3 years today!

23 October 2013

3 years today!

Happy 3rd anniversary to the best husband a girl could ask for. It's been rough. Not many people can go through what we've been through and make it out the other side. But we have. And I am so thankful I have him by my side!

DISCLAIMER

(I thought I already posted one of these, but some people missed it I guess.)

1. This is my blog; I will write what I want.

2. If you were a true friend, you would realize the pain and tears that I usually write through, and you would try to understand, rather than being an ass and saying you’re pissed, offended, hurt, etc. This is my outlet, and if you truly cared about me (or us), you might text, email, Facebook, etc. and ask how we’re doing.

3. Because things have been so rough lately, it’s good for me to get my thoughts and feelings out in the open. If you don’t like them, you don’t have to read them. I sometimes look back to older posts and reread them and think, “Gosh, I probably should not have written that.” However, it was born from a pain that you probably don’t understand. I leave it there because it helps me to look back and see where I was and where I am now.

4. Get over yourself. If you are seriously going to be offended or pissed by what I write on my tiny blog that all of 5 people read, then you are an ass. Even if it sounds like what I wrote was about you. It probably wasn’t. You could try to be a little more understanding and think of someone other than yourself. This is my therapy, again, get over yourself.

5. Don’t contact us saying you’re pissed about what I wrote. You’re not helping. That doesn’t make you a better friend. If you make what I write about my pain about you, you are an ass. A big ass. And a douche.
