Friday the 13th

Well in the past the number 13 has been my
Favorite / Lucky number. My sister mentioned to me today that it was Friday the 13th and I replied with "Doesn't bother me 13 is my good day" With that said my sis Karly, my dear friend Morgan and I decided to go get some DELICIOUS cupcakes from Ann Olivia's Sweet Shop in Hernando, MS. www.annolivias.com Its the home of the glittered cupcake. I have to say, the cupcakes were FANTASTIC!!! Boston Cream and Cheesecake were my personal favorite.  Not only were the cupcakes great but the owners and employees there were sincerely some of the friendliest and nicest people I have met. I wish the best for them. I will return just for the simple fact I enjoy spending time there. They make me SMILE!!!
(The people and the cupcakes) :D

We ran into a goodwill and decided we would go in...Nothing else to do, WHY NOT? Us 3 girls browsing around looking at  hideous shoes and some terrible pieces of clothing that NO one should ever wear. Some of the funny items we found....

I love Roosters

Morgan tried this one on....AWESOME!!!

But  I  did  end  up  finding 

a  new  skirt  that  I  really  like.

I  got  it  for  $4.00. 

Can  you  believe  that?

I'm all  about  a  bargain  but  wow! 
I  like  a  price  tag  of  $4.

Us girls decide to get back home relax and just hang out for a little bit before we go out tonight...We're in the car laughing, talking about clothes and cupcakes, making fun of each other. Our drive was great with great view of the country side. When all of a sudden my car makes a strange noice, battery light comes on and I instantly say awwww man this is sucky...oh well I guess I will have to get it checked out. I start to break for a stop sign ahead and now I realize my power steering is off....WHAT? I stop at the stop sign, my car is off...hmmmm how did that happen? So I go to start my car......Uhhhhhh NO ITS DEAD!!!! Wont start, wont do anything? What am I supposed to do? 3 Girls and we know NOTHING about cars!!!! We're STUCK!!! So we get out of the car and it was 118 degrees outside....SERIOUSLY?? Uggg We're sweating in a matter of minutes, 3 different guys try to help and all 3 guys have different ideas of whats wrong with my car....I DON'T CARE....get my girls, me and my car home! I call my husband and my dad. I finally figure out how AAA works and we get rescued 2 hours later. I have more pictures to post up of this wonderful day but here are a couple of them...

We all got home safely, we're all tired and my poor car is broken...Positive thing, sitting in 118 weather for 2 hours and sweating like that, I had to have lost some weight right? :D

I came across Katie Melua at Borders one day and I love her music <3

Life is hard, Life is challenging. More challenging then I thought that I could ever bare. On the same note life is great and beautiful. I have some hard choices to make here in the next year or so. Choices that will change my life drastically. Either for the better or the worst. I know as time goes on, the answers will be more clear. I have a habit of ALWAYS worrying about others before I worry about myself. But now I have a baby girl that my choices will effect, so now more than ever I have to make sure I do whats right. Is it bad to make choices with your heart?

Today, I had a pretty relaxing day. 

I played with my little Sky Bug, her laughter makes my day complete. 

Shes such an amazing little girl. 

We were supposed to go to church together 

but she decided she wanted to hang out with her Daddy instead.

It worked out nice for me though, 

I got to have a little Mommy time.  

My dear friends Morgan & Zach started going to church with me, 

its a breath of fresh air to have such supportive friends. 

We went and played tennis tonight 

around 9:00PM and it was around 90 degrees outside...

it was HOT and we were sweaty but it was a good time.

Though times are tough there are

always things I find to smile about... 

The Beautiful Outdoors

My Darling Daughter

Both Combined = Lovely Memories

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BH Cosmetics is a company that I found not to long ago and I absolutely LOVE them. I have always had a love for make-up but mostly eye shadows. I love to blend colors and try new things.

This is a shimmer blue blending into a deep purple and blending out to a soft ivory.

 

“For God has said, I will never fail you. I will never forsake you.‟
That is why we can say with confidence, The Lord is my helper, so I will not be afraid.” 

Hebrews 13: 5-6 (NLT)

Family

I have been thinking about my family a lot. I live 1800 miles away from them and its difficult to say the least. I never thought I would move away from all of them, but it was a choice my husband and I made for OUR family. We are both traditional people and want the all American life for our kid/kids. I would like to say that we will be having another baby not to long from now....we will see. Unfortunitely in todays world I don't believe family is valued the way it use to be. I grew up to close to all my Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, & Grandparents

 

....awww my grandparents. I absolutely adore them. Great People!!! 

I have so much respect for my mother. A single parent for many years then working her butt off to raise me and my sisters. My step-dad Robert "Dad" was there to fill in when my dad was not there doing what he was supposed to. I hate to use the term step-dad! He's more of a dad to me than anyone else, hes my true Father...You know that saying anyone can be a dad but it takes a real man to be a father. Robert has been my Father since I was 4. Now being older I can respectfully see the courage he had to take on and raise a little girl who wasn't biologically his. He has a tough exterior but us girls know hes a softy when it comes to us. Why is it, you don't understand the sacrifice parents put into raising their kids till you're a parent yourself? Regardless I love my parents....all of them, even though one was absent for so many years.

 

Mom & Dad with Skyler

I lost my Father In-Law in March of this year and it has been by far the most difficult thing I have had to endure. I can't imagine how it is impacting my husband. Kurt was a wonderful loving man that wasn't to talkative but you knew that he loved and cared for you. He was a funny man. Always pulling tricks on the ones he loved. I miss him so! My daughter will know of him through our stories but I'm so sad that she wont be able to grow up and know his voice. I LOVE YOU KURT!!!

 

I have 2 wonderful sisters. Very very different different types of sisters. Brookie, shes fun, super outgoing and would do anything for the ones she loves, but don't piss that girl off because she will let you have it...lol.  Karly is a brilliant young lady. She is going to be so successful. So proud of her, she got into the #1 private film school in the USA and I wish her the best of luck through her journey.

 

My Sis Brookie

My Sis Karly Babe

And I have saved the best for last, My husband and my wonderful beautiful daughter. My husband and I have been down a rocky road but I believe God is making us stronger through our quest and we will be just fine. I love him and he loves me. Forever & Always + 3 Days!!! SKYLER SKYLER SKYLER!!!! Man she is fantastic. Shes got such a wonderful personality. Shes the light of my day and I will love her more than she will EVER know!

I have 3 Brother In-Laws & 1 Sister In-Law....I miss all of them dearly!!! Specially J

He's ok....

Is there such thing as coincidence? Or when something coincidental happens, is it meant to be? 

I had a wonderful experience tonight, and I believe that a prayer has been answered. I have been looking for a new church for the past couple of weeks. The church we attend is farther away than I would like, but after tonight I think that's where I need to be....

 

Romans 12:1-2 

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is his good, pleasing and perfect will.

New Favorite Past Time

This is one of my new happy places. The other being Barnes & Noble.

I enjoy reading and this is my new book of choice.

I have been sitting here attempting to write for about an hour now and I have nothing. I'm hanging out with three VERY FUN friends of mine and there is NO way I can concentrate on writing as well as listing to these crazy people.
