Skipping Day 12...Day 13 Somewhere you'd like to move or visit

I am skipping day 12, primarily because my days have been pretty boring since I came back from Vegas, I've been attempting to stay as low key as possible :)

So on to where I would like to visit or to move, funny question especially right now...

If anyone knows me at this point right, anywhere but here is some place that I want to be right now. My heart ♥ is definitely set on Vegas! I went there once and fell in love, the city was amazing! I know most of you will think that it was the going out that got me going, but it definitely was not! I enjoyed the weather and the awesome friends that I made there and my Sis there! It was the best time ever! After I got out of the midwest I realized that there is a whole new world out there! Since then I have not stopped exploring the option of relocation!

For the past few years the thought of relocation has been in my mind non-stop and I think I just needed the push and shove to get my butt in gear to get out of here!

Day 08-10 Off Topic...I do what I want!

These are pretty lame topics...and I really don't feel like talking about my first love, my satisfaction with my life, my first kiss or what my future will be...So I'm going to take a break from the 30 day blog and write off topic!

The American Dream???

The other day I was invited to do a video commemorative video for the Kansas City Courthouse, based on Naturalization, some milestone? Can't remember off the top of my head right now. Anyway.... I had several questions that were sent to me prior to this interview, and I had no idea what to expect. Once I got to the courthouse, there was one other lady there that was going to interview before mine and because it was the last ones of the day, I decided to sit in on her interview. She was probably about late 30s with a few kids here. Her story was very interesting...one of the questions was about what her dream was, and it was to bring her kids to freedom. That is something that really hit me, it made me think...I have, just as mostly everyone, asked what is your dream, most of us answer something with the future of what we want. Our hopes and dreams, usually consist of something materialistic with some success. It was interesting to hear of someone say that their dream is freedom. I never thought of something that simple as a dream. I was fortunate to be adopted at a very young age, my dream evolved over time but never consisted of freedom. It made me think of how lucky we are as individuals living in a free county. That we don't think of the people that dream of freedom, because we are lucky enough to have it every day. She also was asked questions about her first 4th of July here and that she got a little emotional, it almost made me emotional...thinking about how much that freedom and that flag that waves means to her. I wondered if other naturalized citizens felt the same way after becoming a citizen. I was naturalized when I was in 5th grade, just so I was old enough to remember it. I do remember being so nervous, saying an oath with several other individuals, and at the time it didn't mean that much to me, but now, as an adult I feel lucky.

Day 07 Your Zodiac Sign and If You Think it Fits Your Personality

Birthday: August 24, 2011
I am a Virgo - however because of the date I am born on, I am also a Leo-Virgo cusp...Meaning I have traits from both signs.

There are several things I believe that hold true for me with my 2 signs....I do believe that I can be jealous at time, but the flirtatiousness is definitely me in a land side! Creativity is a must in my world...and I am always achieving for perfection. Failure is not an option! I do possess the Leo characteristics of being dramatic (and if you know me you would probably be chuckling right now), arrogant, and impatient (lines drive me crazy!!!). As far as my Virgo side I am practical to an extent when my Leo side kicks in and takes over, typically when there is alcohol involved, especially shots!

Leo-Virgo Cusp:
"Individuals born on the Leo-Virgo cusp are health conscious and very concerned with nutrition and hygiene. This helps them take good care of themselves, both mentally and physically. They like to play in groups. This may take the form of team sports or games. Like everything else, they strive to achieve perfection in their leisure activities.

They can be jealous at times, but they are not really very flirtatious. They are creative and pay close attention to details. They show their love by doing things for their loved one. They are thoughtful and unique.

This cusp is conflicted by Leo's drama and Virgo's lack of sociability. If they can pull themselves together for a cause they truly believe in, the strengths of both signs come together. They have to believe in what they are doing to let their passion show.

Leo-Virgo is honest, unique, logical, creative, flamboyant, artistic, routine, practical, organized, ambitious, inspiring and dramatic. They like to have fun and are generally optimistic. They may also be stubborn, blunt, quarrelsome, cold, stuck on their own ego and a perfectionist. The Cusp of Exposure can be fun or harsh.

Leo-Virgo is a hard worker and a logical thinker. They are earthy and appreciate what we get from the ground. They are very persuasive, which makes them good lawyers, physicians, and teachers. They are tactful, and don't often offend others. They appreciate the outdoors.

Individuals born on the Leo-Virgo cusp may be very popular, with a crowd of followers all of their own. To create a good balance, they need to fulfill their own needs without losing any of their abilities to give to others. They are strong and tenacious. They may be artistically or musically inclined, and they may enjoy traveling."
