10 years seemed so far off!

Back in May of 2002 when I walked across that stage to receive my high school diploma, 10 years seemed SO far off.

I still remember Vitamin C’s graduation song “Friends Forever” playing as we threw our caps up in the air.



10 years felt more like eternity.

Didn’t believe it when people said time flies after high school. But it is so so true.

It just kind of hit me today; NEXT year is my 10 year class reunion.

As I reflect on these past years I think about where I am versus where I thought I’d be. I think about where others will be in their life as we all gather to reconnect again.

Every time I think of my reunion, it takes me back to the movie Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion.

I guess I could always say I invented the post-it notes?!?!? (If you’ve never seen the movie, you won’t get that, ha)

This is by far my favorite scene in the whole movie while they’re at the reunion.



Maybe my best friend Melissa and I could pull this dance off??

10 years did seem way far off, but guess not as far as I thought!

Gonna be a "Wicked" time!!

There are so many Broadway musicals I’d love to see. Seriously, I’d love to go to NYC and just spend my money seeing ALL of them, ha! They are just amazing and I know it’s some of the hardest work those people have to do.

I’ve only seen the Broadway musical “Cats” and “42nd Street.”

When I heard that Wicked was going to be coming to town next month, I was thrilled.

I love Wizard of Oz. And this should be really good.

The tickets have been purchased and March 13th just my Mom and I are going to go see “Wicked.”

It will be a great time with just us girls.

So, what about you? Like Broadway musicals? What’s your favorite? Have you seen Wicked?

Sweet Tea: 25 cents

I stole these from my brother and SIL’s Facebook page.

My niece, the sweet tea entrepreneur!!

Bless her heart, they live out in the boonies on a country road and no one stopped by.

But she sure does look so CUTE on the job!! :)

Big House!

I’m just getting these words out for my own sake.

I’m sure y’all have all experienced times of transition. Well, I’m kind of going through one myself right now!

For the last 5 years I’ve lived in the same house. It’s a house I lived in with my Mom and sister. Our family went through a rough time and it’s kind of the house where my mom, sister, and I started over together, just us girls. So it's kind of bitter sweet. Then my Mom got remarried and my sister went off to school, and that left me just living there with my doggy. It gave me a good dose of what it’s like to be on my own, but without all the added responsibility of being the sole homeowner and it being “my house” that I owned.

I really did have it made. I was blessed, no denying that.

Well, the house went up for sale, which I was expecting but it sold A LOT quicker then what we were expecting it to. So I have 3 WEEKS to be out!!!!!

No worries though, I won’t be left to fend for myself out on the streets.

It turns out this is going to be a HUGE benefit for me and a major blessing.

So when I’m completely out of the house I will be splitting my time between my Mom’s house and my Granny’s house. My Granny lives by herself and my dog will stay there. There’s no telling how long my Granny will still be around, so I think this will be sweet time with her, and will be great for her. And my Mom’s house is closer to my school, so that works out as well too.

It’s going to be interesting how this works, but I believe everything happens for a reason. This is a season that is allowing me to save and pay off debt and get more financially stable to be completely and fully on my own. I’m taking full advantage of this time and going to use it wisely.

It’s will just be another season. The going back and forth between places will be crazy, and I’m trying to look at this season in a positive way. It’s hard to not have a place to call my own and a sense of belonging in a place that is mine.

But I do belong.

I will have two homes to call home right now :)

And then I come to this video by Audio Adrenaline:



And I’m forgetting one house. It’s a big house, with lots and lots of room. It’s my Father’s House :)

Hi everyone!

Hope y'all had a fantastic weekend!!

Started my Monday with a nail in the tire and having to make a pit stop to the tire place. Fun Fun! But life could be a whole lot worse :)

As I shared Friday, I attended my first Orlando Magic basketball game this weekend!

It was so much stinkin fun!

My first time at the brand new arena in downtown Orlando!

Lets move on to more important things. Words cannot even express!!

Oh, and then there was the game!! :)

Don't even ask me what's going on here, old ladies dancing on the court!

Then the players had a game to play, so they kicked the ladies off the court, ha!

My friend Sarah!

Happy girl!

The blimp flying around the arena!

Walking around at halftime and had someone take our picture!

So many stories in this arena and I'm not afraid of heights but looking down was kind of scary, ha! The lights in the arena were so pretty!

Third quarter and were crushing Cleveland!

The real (young) dancers of the Orlando Magic.

The sketches of basketball players on the wall of the arena and then Beyonce. Just thought it was funny, ha!

The arena is so pretty at night!

I would have to say the best part of the whole evening though was when a guy got down on his knees and proposed to his woman on the kiss cam for all the arena to see!! As you can imagine, it was the sweetest thing EVER!!! Wish I had gotten a picture of it, they were on the camera for the longest time.

Hope I get to go to another game. The energy is just amazing. It was such a fun time!!

Final score, 103-87. Goooooooooooooo Magic!!! So proud of my home team :)

Magical weekend!

This weekend I get to go to my first ever Orlando Magic basketball game.

In fact, my first basketball game ever.

Can you believe that?

I'm pretty stoked.

Yep, I believe in Magic! :)

And they better give me a win.

Should be so fun!!!!

Have a GREAT weekend everyone!!

God is doing a new thing!

Wanted to thank you for your prayers for my Granny yesterday (Read post below).

Her doctor's appt. went really well. In fact, it went amazing!!

I'm happy to report that my Granny was declared CANCER FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Jesus. We could not be more thrilled.

God is doing a new thing in her life and given her a new lease on life. This is her second battle with cancer. Someone up above really loves her and is not done with her yet!!

Also, God is really stirring up my life right now and doing a new thing as well and alot of change about to happen up in here!

It's exciting and nerve wrecking at the same time.

So I'm going to step out in faith and know he is fully in control.

It's all good stuff though!

Yesterday was such a great day for our family. God is SO good!!
