favorite place

Personal image taken in Kailua Hawaii , 2013.

The favorite place I chose is somewhere I lived for three years. This image is one that I took from my bedroom window in Kailua ,Hawaii. I joined the navy in 2011 and I never imagined that choice would lead me to living in one of the most beautiful places I had ever been. Looking back now I wish I had realized how lucky I was to live there. Everyday I would wake up and drive to work with beautiful landscape around me. So many people took their dream vacations to this place and I had the opportunity to live there for three years. Typically on weekends I would go on hikes, go to the beach or walk to the restaurants around my apartment. Someday I would like to take my children back to Hawaii so they can experience all it has to offer.

    Oh my gosh, what an amazing rainbow picture, Brianna! That is absolutely beautiful! And three years in Hawaii would be quite an experience; I went to freshman year of high school there, and I got to see and do some really cool things. I hope to go back again someday! About rainbows: in India, the rainbow is called the Indra-Dhanush, the Bow-of-Indra, who is the god the sky and storms; here's more about Indra at Wikipedia. He's going to show up in the epics, as you'll see!

    Wow the picture is amazinga nd I agree with you Hawaii is an amazing place and rainbows are so rare it is so cool that you were able to get this unique rare pic. I personally can relate to this because I lived in Birmingham UK and my school was on top of a hill surrounded by tea plantations I lived there for 7 years and one day me and my friends were on a hike enjoying the refreshing smell of the earl grey tea leaves growing as it was almost the season to harvest and we saw 3 rainbows in one spot it was one in a million view I can definitely relate to you.

Introduction to the college mom

Physical Therapy sessions on Navy active duty in San Diego, Ca ( image source: Wikipedia ) My name is Brianna Pottage and this is my second year at OU. I like to think of myself as a woman of many titles. Mother, wife, student, veteran, baker, cross fitter and home maker. After spending six years in the Navy after high school I decided that I wanted to go back to school to get a degree in health and exercise science. I struggled after high school knowing what I wanted to do for a career and almost decided to go to culinary school. I have always loved to cook but I am happy I did not make that my career. I now can cook in the comfort of my own home without the pressures of working in a professional kitchen. I am from California but because my husband is still in the military we now are living in Oklahoma. I was happy this summer that my family was able to come visit me for a week. We rented a couple condos on grand lake and rented boats to spend time out on the lake. Thi

Shantanu sees the beautiful fisherwoman  Wikipedia   The Mahabharata, A Summary  by John Mandeville Macfie (1921). [400 words]  Dear Diary, Today has by far been the craziest day of my entire life. Growing up working with my father nobody ever complained of the fishy odor I have always had. My father tells me how beautiful I am everyday but I fear I will never find a true love to marry. Will any man ever accept me and the permanent smell of fish I carry with me. Today was the day I thought that my luck had changed. I was working with father on the ferry and a man caught my attention. Normally I try to avoid getting too close to customers for fear that they will judge me. Today the man on the boat was different, I could tell he desired me. I did not want to give in to this man because my body is for my future husband. He promised if I gave in I would remain pure. In an attempt to make a deal I wondered if he had the ability to make me no longer smell of fish. So against by b
