Did you know...
... that today is Alaska Day? On this day in 1867, the U.S. formally took possession of Alaska after purchasing the
territory from Russia for $7.2 million, or less than two cents
an acre. The Alaska purchase comprised 586,412 square miles,
about twice the size of Texas, and was championed by William
Henry Seward, the enthusiastically expansionist secretary of state under President. Happy birthday, Alaska!

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears (respects with humility and awe) the Lord is to be praised. Prov. 31:30
La vida es corta, Rompe las reglas, Perdona rápido,
Besa despacio, Ama de verdad, Rie sin control,
Y nunca sientas remordimiento por algo que te hizo sonreir.
There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore, and who always will. Don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason they didn't make it to your future.
Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones that don't!
There comes a time in life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama and the people who create it and surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad and focus soley on the good. After all, life is too short to be anything but happy.
You'd better believe in yourself, because when the chips are down, you are all you've got!!!
Friendship is the most important thing in a relationship, earn the friendship to gain the relationship.
