4 years ago at 6:30pm I married my amazing husband, Miles. We have been through a lot in our short 4 years together as husband and wife, but I wouldn't pick anyone else to go through the good times and bad with. I really do not know what I would do without this man in my life. Oh, and I am still going to get you back for this... ;-) … [Read more...]
My Aunt Is My Inspiration & Family Dollar/Dove Contest
Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Global Influence. All opinions, as always, are 100% my own. Most of us have inspiring people in our family. Above, is my aunt Vicky. She is my inspiration. Her love for the Lord and her family runs deep, and I am so thankful that I can call her my aunt. I always know I can go to her if I need to talk, and she was the one who first helped me take one of the biggest steps in my life - my life in God. If it weren't for her helping me and guiding me in … [Read more...]
Please Pray For My Dad
{My dad is on the left, in the Navy shirt.} I'm asking for prayers for my dad who was admitted to the hospital last night. He wasn't feeling well at all and his leg was swollen and red. We took him to the emergency room and they said it was either a blood clot or an infection in his leg. If you know anything about my mom passing away almost a year ago, it was because she had a blot clot that went to her lung; so my heart dropped when I heard that it could be a clot. They did blood work last … [Read more...]
Happy Birthday in Heaven, Mom. <3
My beautiful mom would have been 63 today. Today is the first birthday she will have in heaven, though. I can't believe it's been almost a year that God took her from this Earth. As hard as it is for me, I know that she will be having the best birthday she has ever had. Today, I am going to try not to think about the fact that she's not here to physically celebrate her birthday, but celebrate her new life. I want to keep her memory alive, especially with Riley. I don't want her to forget … [Read more...]

Reintroducing Myself
For April I have decided to participate in the Ultimate Blog Challenge. I am going to attempt to do at least one blog post a day. Of course that doesn't count giveaways and other exciting things I have in store for you this month. :) To start April off, I thought I would kind of reintroduce myself. I have received a lot of new readers since this blog started in January of 2012, and I know everyone doesn't get a chance to go to my 'About Me' at the top of the homepage, so here we go! My … [Read more...]
Day 4 and 5 of March 2013 Blog Challenge
I did not get a chance to get day four up yesterday, so I'm just going to combine day four and five into one! :) Day 4: Best Childhood Memory For this blog challenge, my favorite childhood memory would probably have to be a tie between when I was about 5 and we went to Gatlinburg, Tennessee for Easter. Of course I was so worried the Easter bunny wouldn't find me because we weren't home... but of course he did "find us. ;-) I had a lot of fun going on the go-carts and just … [Read more...]
Day 3 of March 2013 Blog Challenge
Day 3 Blog Challenge: What Makes You Happy There are lots of things that make me happy. One, of course is my family. I love my daughter with all of my heart - I finally understand the love my parents have for me. I never thought I'd be able to love somebody so little as much as you do for your child. It's amazing. Miles is my other half. I don't know what I would do without him. He knows what to say to cheer me up when I'm upset and having him stand beside me no matter what obstacle we … [Read more...]
