Hey y’all!
I’m Amanda, I’m a mother of two beautiful little girls, and even though my life is completely crazy you won’t see me wishin’ it any other way! I want to be a college student, whose crazy enough to go through Nursing School and go after her Nurse Practitioner license. I write about anything and everything, trying to bring smiles to peoples faces in one way or another. What I say one day might make you bend over laughing, the next bring you to tears, and I have changed quite a bit over the last few years. I am who I am, and I speak my mind no matter the subject. I am a United States Navy veteran of which I am very proud. I am working on overcoming my anxiety and my depression, I’ve struggled with my self image, cut, burned, and seriously attempted suicide. I’ve had my heart broken, and broken a few hearts of my own. I know sexual assault in it’s darkest of forms, so my life isn’t made of rainbows and sugar fairies, but I refuse to let it keep me down. This blog, is what helps me give others the same strength. That’s all I want to do.
From One Crazy Life To Another 
Thanks Amanda for stopping by my blog and the follow. Good luck with your blog.
After seven years “in the service” of a branch of the Federal Government, I found someone that I loved too. It was me, finally. I had enough, left and still trying to start my actual life again. Good luck on the blog.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Hi Amanda, Thanks for following my blog (A Mom’s Blog) Have a great year! Zainab
You’re welcome, and you too!
I enjoyed reading your interview today over at what’s his name’s place. You’ve got a follow from me! I look forward to reading more.
Thank you!!!
Hey, great inner view at pmao today.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Hi Amanda. Being stay at home mom is one priviledge only women can get. Nice introduction, btw.. 😀
Thank you, I appreciate that. I’m happy to see that you’re following me. I’m glad my blog interests you 🙂
I nominated you for a bog award. Visit me at http://vakunzmann.wordpress.com/2014/01/08/sunshine-on-my-shoulders/
to pick up the award!
Peace, ~victoria
Thank you so much!!! I appreciate it. You’re AWESOME!
My pleasure 🙂
Short and nice introduction 🙂
Well thank you!
I like it, it’s short, sweet and to the point! Gives people enough to be intrigued and want to get know you better. Also, while we were still in USA my husband used Axe Phoenix too! (Sorry, I like to cling on the things in common). And he is a military brat (his words not mine) so … sort of in common?
Hey military brats are part of the military in a way, and they have to deal with the backlash of the crap military members get, so yes it’s in common!
and Isn’t it awesome? I love Axe in general, but that Phoenix boy…
and thank you for your kind words! I appreciate that!
Phoenix was awesome… we don’t have it here in Croatia, closest we can find was Apollo and Excite :/. A
Awwwww, so sad. I like Excite. Not nearly as good as phoenix but it’s up there. Apollo..yuck…
Thank you for your visiting my English blog.
Cool and simple introduction.
Thank you, I appreciate that!
My word you’re so young to have done so much already! And to be thinking of going into nursing next – kudos to you 😉
P.s. I love your hair 😀
Thank you, I appreciate that. You’ve done quite a big already and you’re young yourself!
When you get a bit further down the line, it feels like not very much. Ah, mortality! 😉
Yeah, but at least you’re enjoying your life and doing what you love to do! You have a stable career with fun hobbies and your smile proves that you’re enjoying everything you do.
I’m getting there, I love my life, now I just have to work on the stable career… it’s hard but worth every minute of sweat
Oh it took a loooong time for that smile to appear hun, believe me. But I can’t deny it’s here now. All the best for your future – and I hope you get what you want fast x
Thank you!
Thank you for your service please look at my blog http://bit.ly/1ajBiRu

Thank you for your lovely compliment. I’ve been a huge supporter of the military and this is just my way of showing my appreciate for all our men and women in service. And that includes YOU! I live in an area where a lot of military families live and vets. I get a thrill every time one of the F-15’s fly over head…woot!
Haha those things are pretty wicked I will admit.

Thank you, and you’re welcome! I appreciate you stopping by. I’ve checked out your blog a couple of times and I liked it everytime I saw it. I could have sworn I followed you… but WordPress tells me otherwise..so with that being said *click* Let’s try this again.
WordPress:1 Me: 0
Why am I not used to that score by now? -.-
Ha! Give it a few days, and wp will be purring under your keyboard.
Until they change every feature you like.
Again.
Ain’t that the truth?! Let’s hope they keep it this way for a while, I think it’s pretty nifty.
I’m just trying to make a blog that people can run to when they need a smile, a good laugh or a place to vent. Kind of like Zoe’s, but not even close on the scale of awesome…
