I'm Just an Ordinary Girl

Don't I just have the cutest little family? This is Jordan, me and our lovely dog Kyo. These guys are the greatest ever. Kyo makes me so happy, he loves the trampoline, and giving kisses...Oh and his new squeaky toy. Jordan loves netflix, taking things apart, and kisses!! I love the outdoors, sleeping, Reese's and kisses! I feel so blessed. I love my family so much, they know exactly how to cheer me up.
I thought I'd mix things up today and blog. My husband pointed out to me that I usually blog on Thursday's. I was like no I don't but then I looked at the 4 blogs I had done so far in November, and 3 out of 4 were on Thursdays. Let's make a list of things I don't like that sounds like fun.
I don't like mean people!!!!
Driver's license photos
Gum
Being woken up in the morning
Did I mention mean people?
Commercials
Spiders
Ghosts
Scary movies
Being picked on

I am sure there is more but that's all I can think of right now. It's such a small list so that means there are tons of things I like. My best advice to everyone right now just be patient!! Well tha-tha-tha-tha-that's all folks!!!

Loving A Rose
By Alexandria J. Eliason

To him she is his everything
The one who makes his heart sing
He would die and live for her
If she had cancer he would find the cure
Loves her more than life itself
Has a picture of her on every shelf
And she is a rose beautiful and cruel
In the end she will play the fool
She treats him like a door mat
Walks all over him until he is flat
But he can't help but love her
Even though it kills him
Her thorns wrap around his heart
With each different boy they dig deeper
He's constantly broken and fallen apart
But back for more just one more chance
She begs him on her worn out knees
Promises it won't happen again
With silent tears he let her back in
She is just a rose beautiful and cruel
But in the end she'll be the fool
When it's too late to change he'll already be gone
As a rose comes to life it will also die
And when she has lost her gardener she will be lost
Breath will escaper her lungs, light will fade from her eyes
But with her luck she will stay alive
Forced to watch him be happy without her
He will fall in love with someone else
She will be left behind wishing she had changed
But he will move on because....
Loving a daisy is so much easier than loving a rose

Does He know?


Does he know?
  1. I am insanely in love with him
  2. He makes me smile even when he isn't here
  3. Somehow he manages to sweep me off my feet every single day
  4. I don't know where I would be without him
  5. I am completely addicted to him
  6. He talks too much (lol)
  7. He snores, but when he is gone I miss that snoring
  8. I love the way he smells when he comes home from work
  9. The few moments I have with him during the work week, are the most cherished moments of my day
  10. That I would rather spend a day with him, then reading a book (This one is a big deal)
  11. He is my reason, my hope, my whole world
  12. When I get moody and upset, it's because I miss him and think maybe if I'm grumpy the National Guard will let him come home early from drill (Haha not likely)
  13. That he is my most favorite person in the whole world
  14. I am not content because content is settling but I'm ecstatic to be spending Eternity with him
  15. I know I give him a hard time about the past, but does he know he was completely worth all the drama, all the loss, and all the love
  16. It was always back to him
  17. No one in the world gets me like he does
  18. That 90% of the poems I've written are about him in some way
  19. Not only has he been my Jacob, he will always be my Edward! (I couldn't resist)
  20. That he is my best friend my key to survival
I love my husband very much, he is one of the greatest gifts God has giving me. I am speechless when it comes to my love for him. This post is me wanting to make sure he knows how much he means to me. Jordan Blake Eliason, thank you for asking me to be your wife, thank you for putting up with all my craziness, but most importantly thank you for being the worlds greatest husband. You really do get me, and I am so happy with you! Your my perfect situation!! My only one!! All the things that hurt before, now are made new, the past was bumpy, but together we can make new memories. I love you.

Descent
By Alexandria J. Eliason

Her Part
Put down my bag, hang up my coat
The silence is eerie as I begin the descent
Towards the room where you and I lie
I should by now be ale to hear your breathing
You should by now be sleeping
Walk past the photographs
They mock me with their happiness
Make a stop at the first door on the right
Strip down to my skin, turn on the water to hot
Postponing the event
Wash my skin, brush my teeth, towel in hair
Robe around, feet bare
I continue towards the door
Hand on knob, heart in throat, breath is gone, tears in eyes, fear in mind
The handle turns, the door opens
The room is silent, I call your name
But no response, tears down face, hate this place
Clothes in drawer, bed is cold, empty
Open top drawer, pull out ring slip on finger, still not comfortable
Out of bed in the closet, grab a shirt pair of pants
Lay them beside me
Fall asleep to the lullaby of my cries
Fall asleep wrapped in your old clothes
There all I have left now that you've gone

His Part
Hang up my coat, slip off my shoes
I can hear the hum of the fan from the room where you and I lie
Stop at first door on the right
Strip down, warm water down my back
Mop up the mess, begin the decent
Switch off the light, walk out the door
By now I should hear you breathing
But instead a sort of faint screaming
Started as a walk, turned into a run
Hand on knob, heart in throat
Throw door open
Screams have turned to moans
As I eye my angel
Curled up in a ball
Tossing and turning she calls out my name
Caught in a dream I shake her awake
"Love" I say. Hush her cries, tell her it will be okay
"A nightmare" she whimpers.
Crawl on the left side, the right is hers
Hold her the way I've only held her
Kiss her forehead, warm her body
The trembling subsides soon hushed breathing
I lay awake holding my life
Grasping knowing in an instant she could be gone
I say a silent prayer, and my heart breaks as she turns to her side
Breathes in deeply and drifts away to a deep sleep
My wife I sigh, My wife and her nightmares.
