Days 3-6 because I'm a slacker.

Day 3 What makes you happy

Lots of things make me happy, I'm not hard to please. (Okay, that's a lie) But as long as I get my way, I"m usually pretty happy and my way is usually the right way, so everyone wins. I kid, I kid. Geez. What makes me happy: Everything my kid does makes me happy. Correction: almost everything. The beach, sunshine, new music, seeing other people happy,beach,  Will Suttle & Little Linlee, food, road trips, Bama football, actually bama anything, beach, Braves baseball, online shopping, beach, family time, did I say the beach??? I have a ton of other things that make me happy, that's just to top it off. 

Day 4 Favorite Childhood Memory 

I have a ton. All pretty much involve my Granddaddy. I swear I loved that man more than life, he was my hero. I hate the fact Kensley didn't get to know him, if he was here she would be way more spoiled than she already is, if that's even possible. But, My grandparents usually took, me, Marla and Matthew to the beach several times a year. I always remember all of us looking like Indian children, staying on the beach all day, which i still do, ordering big foot pizza's from dominoes  getting TCBY ice cream, crab hunting every night and of course put put and go carts. I still do these exact same things every time I'm at the beach. I hope Kensley remembers these beach trips the way I do. 

Day 5 Favorite movies you never get tired of watching

The Holiday
Hunger Games
Gone With The Wind
PS I Love You
Notebook
Charlie St. Cloud
Any Disney Movie
Green Mile
Shawshank Redemption
Ok, my list is long enough.. No where near close to the end. 

Day 6 Your last random act of kindness

No biggie, but was my last random act of kindness  I gave a co worker, who is sick my last can of chicken noodle soup, and went on my lunch and bought a can from the gas station for 3.79$ It's like .60 in the grocery store.

Now, I'm caught up. NO more slacking. Ha. 

Day 2 &&& a little other thrown in

Favorite Quotes

I should probably just share a link to my twitter page...

But, I will post a few I guess..

Faith in God, includes faith in his timing.
Because I constantly remind  myself things will work out the way they are suppose to in HIS timing. 

Sometimes the best thing you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess, just breathe and have faith that everything will work out for the best. 
Sometimes your mind is your worst enemy. 

This is by far one of my favorites, and my newest tat. 

In case Seth every reads this, which I'm sure he never will, but last night we went to watch him play. Btw, I love kids, especially if they are related to me, and little boys, so we spend a lot of time with him and Drew. I love watching them play. I was the same way with Matthew, especially before I had Kensley and got busy being a mom. ANYWAY, (ADD kicked in) he did great last night! Aunt Sandy had to be in town with Andrew and Uncle Chris had to work so I got to be a baseball mama for the night and I sooo enjoyed it despite how friggin cold it was. Kuddos to you Seth if you ever read this, you did great last night!

Luke Bryan played at the wharf last night, I planned on going a few months back.. then with work and everything else it didn't look like I was going to get to go, then everything worked out, so pumped about going and then they tell us we have recital pictures at dance Saturday. BOOOO! Oh well, that's part of being a parent I guess. My sweet grandmother offered to take her of course, but there's no way I'm going to miss that, plus my grandmother is under way too much anyway, but like always she tries to do everything for everyone else. God blessed me so much by putting that woman in my life. I have come to realize not everyone has a family as good mine. 

So since it's going to be so a beautiful weekend after we knock out pics Saturday you will find these girls outside for sure!

31 days of blogging

We all know that I probably won't do this for 31 days, but here's to wishful thinking...

Day 1 Self Portrait and 5 random facts.

This is my one of my favorite pics, it's from last year, but I was super dark.. My goal is to be this dark again asap. 

1.) My child is my entire world. If I'm away from her for more than a few hours it hurts my heart. She's seriously my best friend. She makes any bad day a good one. She melts my heart with her sweet honesty. If it wasn't for her, there is no telling where my free spirited soul might be today, but I'm glad I'm where I'm at and wouldn't change a thing about it!

So typical of her to make some crazy face. Yep, she's def. my kid and such a diva!

2. ) My body may be here, but my soul is at the beach. If you know me, you know how often I go down, most are very spur of the moment, need to get away trips. I'm obsessed with the feeling I have when I am there, mark my words.. I will reside on the coast one day.

3.) I love sports. Period. All of them. But, I bleed Crimson! Roll Tide. I'm also a huge Braves and Saints fan!

4.) I'm obsessed with country music. If you follow me on Twitter you know this by all my lyrical tweets. Most of you won't understand this, but when I listen to songs, the music and lyrics really hit me in my soul. 

5.) The past few weeks I have been working hard to get in shape (like I've ever been before). I've been eating healthy and hitting the gym every weekday morning. I"m not weighing myself, I don't care how much weight I lose, I just wanna be able to rock any outfit I choose!

:)

What's been up the past 5 months..

I really, really, REALLY suck at blogging. Like REALLY. But I’ve become completely obsessed with it. I love reading them, and wish I took the time to do mine.

So here’s what’s up…

I left off in November, saying what I was thankful for. BTW, I did what I was thankful for on FB, everyday.. I didn’t just stop on day 2! My parents come home, It had been 9 months since I had seen my Mama. I missed her so much, but I missed my baby brother way more. That kid has my heart. Although technically I see them every week, thank you apple for facetime, I want to be able to put my arms around him. I want to let him drive me around and go fishing and have Sunday lunch. Ok, enough of that before my waterworks kick on. It’s too early for all that. The point I was trying to make is I miss him, it’s been way too long since I saw that sweet face of his. Christmas came and went, and my kid is spoiled, as if you didn’t already know this. I turned 25, womp womp….no biggie. Kensley is turning into quiet the little ballerina/tapper, she thinks she needs to teach mom some of her moves, and def. tells me when I don’t do them right. AND last, but not least, this is week 2 of me going to the gym. Yes, I know you all are probably like, WTH, but I actually feel sooo much better. Well, after about the first two hours. If I ate right I would probably lose a ton, but im too fat, and I love food way to much. I eat really good throughout the week but then on the weekend, throw that ish out the window.. It’s a start though. 

Now that I’ve caught this thing up, here’s to trying to keep it update.. We’ll see how well it goes!

Day 2: Thankful for a healthy child!

Kensley gives me fits in the morning. Like, every single morning. I'm not a morning person either, so I know where she gets it from, but still. So this morning, she's throwing one of fits and she gets in trouble. She is boo hoo crying as we are leaving and I get down in the floor and just hug her. I tell her I'm sorry for getting upset with her and I love her. When we get to school she clings to me, not wanting me to leave her. After about 10 minutes of that, the teacher finally comes to my rescue, so I'm not too late for work. As I walk down the hall way, the tears start to roll. I cried all the way to work because I was impatient with her and had a very "unglued" moment.

As I rode to work, Brad Paisley's song came on, " One of those lives" if you haven't heard it, it's a good one. It's about how an average guy complains about his day when there are people out there fighting for their lives. Oh, how true this is. Some people have to spend there days in children's hospital, while I get to enjoy my days at home with my healthy little girl. Life is too short to take one second for granted. Be thankful for the small things.

Day 1: Thankful for Good Morals

With thanksgiving right around the corner, I want ALL my post this month to be about things I am thankful for. I have a million and one things to be thankful for, so I'm sure I won't get them all covered. But here it goes...

I am thankful my family raised me with good morals.

Yesterday, I talked a little about friendship. Last night while trick or treating I went to visit a friend whom I have been friends with my entire life. I have always considered her my best friend. While there last night the topic of cheating come up and I told her, "If you ever cheat on your husband, I'm not going to be friends with you anymore." I love her husband, he comes from a good family and is truly a great guy.

No truer words than, "Be a best friend, tell the truth & overuse I love, go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common sense, never let your praying knees get lazy, and love like crazy!"

Why people people lie and cheat to/on someone they "love" baffles me. If you can't be honest with someone you love or are in a relationship with then chances are you shouldn't be with them. It breaks my heart that people cheat. If you don't want to be with me, or you want to be with someone else, don't cheat on me. Break up with me, leave me, whatever. I honestly don't know when society thought it was acceptable to do this? More and more people it seems like on a daily basis are cheating. It breaks my heart for everyone effected by this!
