Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

School

I have decided not to wait to go back to school. Our original plan was that I would work and then go back when Colten graduated, but I no longer like that plan. I reapplied for APSU today and filled out my FASFA.
I am really excited and I guess I should know what is going to happen by next week.
Hopefully I am following God's will for my life and not just making my own plans. I really have a deep desire in my heart to go back to school.

Super mommy to the rescue....

ZUMBA!!

When I was pregnant i really thought all my baby weight would just fall off because I had never had a problem losing weight before. Oh boy, was I wrong. I lost about 10 lbs right away and maybe another 10 in the following weeks but I gained almost 40!!!
Now I am stuck with the last with the last 10-15 that I want to lose and it wont go away. I've tried P90X, but I is so intense and I really have no desire to workout and I don't diet, because I HATE most food that is good for me. I tried the Special K diet and it helped get me out of a rut but here I am again and the weight wont go away.
So I talked Colten into buying Zumba. I love it but, I like immediate gratification.So I get distracted or sleepy and I don't feel like doing it. I really need to get my butt in gear!! I want to lose it all before May 26( Makenna's first birthday). I refuse to keep this weight on any longer. 

I'll let you know how it goes. Maybe I can put down the cookies and milk...That is probably a big maybe.

(Maybe I will drop the $120 for Turbo Fire)

Dandelions.

Just watched an AMAZING movie. 
Like dandelion dust. Please go buy the movie or the book. Or both!

*PLOT:Jack and Molly Campbell enjoyed an idyllic life with their adopted 6-year-old son, Joey. One phone call shatters their world when they learn Joey's biological father has just been released from prison and discovered a loop hole in the adoption papers and now lays claim to his son. He wants to start a new life by taking back his son. When a judge upholds the biological father's claim and Molly and Jack learn they must give Joey over to this brutal man, they devise a plan.

In other news...
My precious little baby will be 9 months old tomorrow(I know, right?)
I never thought that this little girl
would ever be big enough to crawl or pull on my pants leg while I stand at the sink. It's very bittersweet.

Nothing will make you cherish how sweet and short life is like this blog. Don't forget your tissue. Please keep this family in your prayers as they struggle though this loss.

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11

I have heard/flipped to this verse randomly in the past few days. Guess I should start listening...

Just getting started...

Hi all. 


I am just getting start at this blogging thing so I thought I would tell you a little about myself...


I have a beautiful family. it's true. Don't believe me? Look for yourself...
My husband is the love of my life and my daughter is one of the most beautiful babies I have ever seen. I can't imagine life without them.
Makenna will be 9 months old on Saturday. For you moms out there you understand how extremely hard that is to believe. She is very active, crawling and pulling up. It is so crazy how fast she is growing up.


Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I have mess up in my life, but I know that He forgives and forgets.
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."
John 1:9

Have a great night:)
