2010

This year has possibly been the most amazing year of my life.

This year I married the love of my life, I am grateful for everything he does for me. I really found something special with him. I was also blessed with my beautiful, happy, healthy, amazing,baby boy. This year has been good for friends and family as well, my little brother graduated high school and is doing something he loves, my best friend is now a wife and the proud mama of beautiful miss Kora.

Though this year has had its rough spots, I couldn't have asked for a better year and I am excited to see what the new year holds for us.

Tonight I celebrate the year surrounded by the people I love, I wouldn't have it any other way!

Holiday Fun!

I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday with their friends and family.
We had a wonderful first family Christmas & Declan got to see most of his relatives :)
I went a little gift crazy this year and it took me 3 days to wrap and decorate every single present. Darien had a blast opening all his gifts on Christmas Eve. He got to open Kora & Declan's gifts too. All the kids are spoiled & I love it! Here's a picture of my little guy on Christmas day, I just love him!

I'm excited for the new year! 2010 was definitely an exciting, and trying year and I'm sure 2011 has only more to offer. I am going to make resolutions this year, and stick to them. I just have to think about what I would like to accomplish and make it reasonable.

Day 8.

Day 8: Someone who made your life hell, or treated you like shit.


You made me feel like I was a horrible person. You made me think that my family hated me. You tried to convince my grandmother that I didn't care about anyone but myself. You criticized my weight and my looks. You had the nerve to tell me that had my mother been alive, I would have been her biggest disappointment. I let you get to me. But I'm the better person and looking back I feel sorry for you. You had my father under your spell somehow and I was a threat to you. I'm not one to hate but I hate you Glenda. You made my life hell and I did nothing to deserve it. I know now that I am none of those things you made me believe I was. I'm over it now though, I have the best life now and you're miserable. Karma is such a nasty bitch :)

Day 6.

Day 6: Something you hope you never have to do. 


I hope I never have to deal with the pain of losing my love. I witnessed both of my parents experience this in different ways. I watched as my father left my mom and she fell apart because her love for him was so great when it was gone, her light was gone. I watched love destroy my father when my mother died and he realized the mistake he had made and how much he still loved her. I hope that I never lose my love. I know that I have found a great love with my husband and losing would be devastating. I want to grow old with Kevin and experience everything that life has to offer us. When that time comes for us to part ways I hope that I go first. I couldn't imagine life without him.

30 Days of truth: Day 5

Day 5: Something you hope to do in your life.


I could write a whole list for this one. I want to travel the world, make a million dollars, sky dive, and get my doctorate among about a million other things. 
Above all, what I hope to do in my life is to buy an old house and remodel every room so that it is exactly what I want. I know this probably won't happen for many many years but it is definitely a dream of mine. I spend countless hours watching HGTV dreaming of what I would do with a house of my own. More importantly, I want to do this with my husband. I want it to be our home. Once our kids are older and have lives of their own, I want it to be a place for us to enjoy each other.
