Tastes so good make a grown man cry, sweet cherry pie...

About Me


Hey y'all! My name is Melodie, I am 23 years old---born and raised in fabulous (or lack thereof)Michigan. I married my high school sweetheart when I was barely 19, and four years later we are still going strong and more in love than ever. No kids yet, but we're planning on it eventually. Ryan is the absolute and complete love of my. I'm a proud ass military wife and couldn't imagine my life any other way. The ol' man and I have been stationed in Hawaii since we got hitched (and are hoping to get the hell outta dodge soon!). I graduated with a 3.92 GPA from Chaminade University of Honolulu with a B.S. in Criminolgy and Criminal Justice. I am a total gym rat and am obsessed with working out. I wish I could get even more hardcore into it, but I think I'm doing okay for now. I am so not one of those broads who wants ginormous man muscles either!!! I love all things cherrie and I am a total lipgloss junkie, my collection now peeks at an outstanding 516 (I topped out at 535, but had to clean up shop a bit) and still going strong. I have 18 piercings, and I think that surprises a lot of people for some reason. I love food and everything about it...watching it on TV, thinking about it in real life, cooking it, baking it...and most importantly---eating it! Ask Ryan, I can always be enticed into just about anything with a cookie.

The Silent Ranks -author unknown
I wear no uniform, no blues or army greens. But I am in the military in the ranks rarely seen. I have no rank upon my shoulder. Salutes I do not give. But the military world is the place where I live.
I'm not in the chain of command, orders I do not get. But my husband is the one who does, this I can't forget. I'm not the one who fires the weapon, who puts my life on the line. But my job is just as tough. I am the one that's left behind.
My husband is a patriot, a brave and prideful man and the call to serve his country, not all can understand. Behind the lines I see the things needed to keep this country free. My husband makes the sacrifice, but so do our kids and me.
I love the man I married.
Soldiering is his life.
But I stand among the silent ranks known as the Military Wife.

My Interests


I love to cook & bake. I am totally into sewing even though that could make me sound super old lady-ish. I always have a camera with me & I take pictures of everything so I can scrapbook them later. I am as crafty as can be, but far away from Martha quality. My goal in life is to learn to walk without either A-Hurting myself or others & B-make it across a room without walking into a wall. So, in addition to being a skinny fat girl, I guess I am probably one of the most intelligent ditzes in the world too. I get straight A's...yet I can't clear a doorway. Hmmm...welcome to my world. Yeah, so apparently God does work in mysterious ways.

I'd like to meet:

Well, I have already met & married the man of my dreams, so I think that I'm all set. I have always wanted to meet Emeril Lagasse though. Yeah, I don't know what it is about him, but he's awesome! Instead of having pictures of bands & hot male models adorning my bedroom when I was growing up, I had 'The Big E' plastered all over the place! My aunt & I went to New Orleans in the summer before I turned 16 & we were thinking about eating at one of his restaurants there, but we walked around & played tourist intead...BUT! I will make it to one of his restaurants eventually & when I do...oh, it will be good. I think it would rock to meet Paula Deen too! She is so adorable, I'd also like to eat at one of her restaurants.

Music:


Myspace Layouts :: Funny Videos :: Music Video Codes

I pretty much listen to everything, but still haven't gotten all that much into country yet. I love Eminem, I would say he is probably my all time favorite. I like BEP, Staind, System of a Down, Incubus, Audioslave, Ludacris, Sublime, Rage Against the Machine, Gorillaz...the list goes on(with the exception of: Christina,Brittney, and boy bands! Blech!!!). Ryan makes sure that my iPod is well stocked with real old school rock music, hip hop, rap, metal, and anything new he may come across. I love going to concerts, but living in Hawaii doesn't give us much opportunity to go to shows, but hopefully Ryan and I will be able to get into our old concert going habits again soon.

Movies:

Ryan & I are total movie buffs. We are always in the movie theatre or in the video store, it's just what we do. Okay, so my main reason behind being a theatre rat is because the theatre closest to us started selling these super awesome & unbelievably yummie Cinnabon soft pretzals. Holy Crap!!! They are served warm & come with this humongo amount of icing. Ryan is always shocked that even after my pretzal is gone, I will suck all of the icing out of the little plastic container until it's clean. (If you haven't figured this out yet, I will clue you in, everything with me, revolves around food...do not get between me & sweet delectible goodness, or I will hurt you!). Every Friday we are checking to see what new movie came out & we get so bummed when nothing good is out in the theatres. Lately movies have been sucking, but mostly I could watch anything. I am still a die hard 80's fan...stuff like
Spaceballs, & The Goonies, or Princess Bride. I love The Monster Squad, but I guess they stopped making it, that doesn't mean I will ever stop trying to find it in stores though. I must own that movie, it's like my mission in life.
Which sexy fruit are you?

Cherry
You love to party!! Your wild, fun, and totally out there. People love you!!

Television:

FOOD NETWORK BABY!!!!! All of the TV's in this apartment are always set on The Food Network, so whenever I turn on the TV, I don't have to search around & channel surf, I'm already where I wanna be. Okay & if you must know...I am a loyal Dog fan, he cracks me up, I try not to miss a minute of him! I like CSI (Vegas only)a lot & House is awesome. Tuesday nights...Nip/Tuck is a freaking must! Love, LOVE Friends, I could watch reruns like no other, and Sex in the City is great, too. After Ryan gets out of work I usually watch whatever Discovery/History/Learning Channel or Animal Planet show he's got on, unless it's about bugs...I don't allow bug shows, especially right before bed. And remember...Dog the Bounty Hunter says, "Stay away from whores."

Books:

Whoo-Hoo! No more text books for me!!! I am a sucker for that darned Harry kid though, I don't know how it happened, but I'm stuck now. Don't even laugh at me for that because I know that most of you out there are closet Harry Potter freaks, at least I'm a big enough person & not ashamed to admit who I really am! I usually only read in the tub, I am a total bath sort of gal. I've always read Stephen King, but I want to read the Narnia books & the Series of Unfortunate Events ones eventually, too. ;)

Heroes:


"Well...um, seeings how I have no brains or legal expertise & Ed here is losing all faith in the legal system, am I right? (oh, yeah, completely no faith, no faith). I just went up there and performed sexual favors. Six hundred and thirty-five blow jobs in five days...I'm really quite tired."

..
I read this on a church message board, HILARIOUS! "Stop, drop, and roll does not work in Hell." I am so glad that someone clued me in on this before it was too late. My ass would have been rolling like there was no tomorrow! :)
