So Thanksful!!!

        I went for coffee with the girls this morning, and I had the best time ever.  I am such a social person and I so enjoy the time that I spend with my friends.  I don't know what I would do without them.  I don't think I have ever had friends like them before. There is something so reassuring about having friends that you know will be there when ever you need them.  Night our day it doesn't matter.  I live a very long way from my family so if I am in need I cannot just call up a relative to come to the rescue. 

       I have to brag on my friend Holly for just a minute.  She gave my daughter an expensive purse and I was just in shock at the level of generosity!!!  They are just plain amazing.  Anyway so we went to coffee and then on to a craft show that was hugh!!!  There was so much to see and explore I was in heaven. 

I have a simple request for you guys.  Tell your friends what they mean to you, and let them know that they are special in their very own way!!!

TGIF!!!

        I am so glad to be able to blog again.  Every time I tried over the last 3 days the site was in read only mode or whatever.  I have really missed blogging, and I didn't think I was going to fall in love with doing this so quickly but....  I have had a hard time these last couple of days with life in general.  There are some things that have been going on in my life that I just can't reconcile.  I don't know how to let go and let God but it is an active quest that I am on, and I know that I have to pray and ask for his help everyday. I am so happy that it is Friday so that I can spend time with my Family and Friends.  I am so thankful for the new friends I have meet at A.C.F. (my new church)  I have so much more to say but the kids will be home from school soon and so will the Hubby.

Celebrate Recovery!!

        OK I am going to explain what this program is first and then I want to talk about the wonderful people I have meet there.  Celebrate Recovery is a Christ centered program that helps people with their hurts, habits, and hang-ups.  I am a part of this program to deal with my childhood and other problems that plague me on a day-to-day basis.
  
     The people in this program are such special people.  They have changed my life for the better in the short time I have known them.  I owe them so very much.

I want to take this opportunity to thank them for all that they have done for me, my family, and all the other people whose lives they have touched.

I am forever in your debt,

Just another Monday!

    Ok so Mondays are so very hard for us in our household.  I don't really know why we find it so difficult to get up and around, but we do.  Not only that but the kids seem to have a harder time getting their homework done in a timely fashion.  I don't know why that is but I do know that it is about the most annoying thing ever.  I am so glad that this particular Monday is over.  I hope everyone has a great night.

My modern love story

     OK so my husband and I knew each other in high school but we never dated back then.  God knew what he was doing because I know I would never have stayed with him.  He was a very active dater back then. lol!! I was no angel but you know...  Anyway, so 4 or 5 years go by and my best friend meet and married a guy named Lance.  I was over at her house one day helping her do laundry.  I took the folded laundry into her bedroom to put it away and there on the dresser was a picture of Lance and Shawn.  I had known Lance for a couple of months and I didn't even know he had a brother.  I took the picture to Brooke and asked her how the boys knew each other and she said " That's Lance's brother Shawn."  I was so excited that I had a way to get in contact with the guy that I felt I let slip away.  Umm I think I forgot to mention that I was married to my first husband at this time.  My first husband was a big mistake but we live and we learn.  So Brooke and I put together a big party for the following weekend so that I could reconnect with Shawn and see where he was in life journey.  During that party I found out that Shawn was also married to his first wife who I think he would agree was his biggest mistake as well.  Flash forward another 2 or 3 months.  My first husband and I just could not make it work.  Its hard to make it work when he just cannot find it in himself to stay faithful.  I really thought that if I was a good wife that he would be faithful but I quickly learned that no matter what I did he was the problem.  So I ended that marriage to keep my sanity.  Little did I know that Shawn was going through the same thing with Wife #1.  We ended up separating from our first spouses within weeks of each other, and Shawn moved in with his brother and Brooke.  I was always over at Brooke's and so needless to say we got to see a lot of each other over the next few months.  One day I was sitting over there and Brooke's cousin said she needed to talk with me.  Of course I said sure and she proceeded to tell me how she was attracted to Shawn and how she knew I was attracted to him too.  I told her that she was right that I did like him a lot.  I had no idea where this was going but I remember thinking that this was not good lol.  Anyway so she says "When we go out tonight I am going to make my move."  Well I honestly thought that Shawn liked her so I agreed to back off and went on with My day.  We get to the club and the cousin forgot her ID.  Needless to say I took full advantage of this opportunity and Shawn and I had a lot of fun that night and we have been together ever since.  I know that Shawn is my soulmate.  I am so thankful for everything that God has provided me.

Hello Everyone!!!

        I am new to this blogging thing but I have lots to share with y'all.  I am a stay-at-home mom of two, and my husband (Shawn) is a medical sales rep. We live in Texas.  My children and my husband are the light of my life.  Like I mentioned earlier I have two children.  My oldest is Bailee and I gave birth to her at the tinder age of 16.  It was just she and I for the longest time.  I have a very special bond with her because it was us against the world.  Bailee is a girly girl and her passions are Cheerleading and anything that has to do with the arts.  She is so very talented and she can do anything that she sets her mind to.  Bailee will be 13 in about a week.  I cannot believe she is about to be a teenager.  My youngest is Lane, and he is my little warrior.  He turned 10 in Feb.  Lane has been in M.M.A. (Martial Arts) since he was 4.  His second love is video games, and he can run circles around everyone playing Halo.  My Husband is in School right now for his Bachelors in Business.  He has about a year left and I cannot wait until he is finished.

        I am a very opinionated person and I decided to start a blog to share my feelings about life in general.  I love make up and anything arts and crafts.  My health is not great but life is what you make it.  I would love to stay and chat but it is very late here in the lone star state.  I will be back tomorrow to discuss how  Shawn and I meet and fell in love.  If this interests you don't touch the remote cuz we will be right back after this regularly scheduled commercial break
