HAPPY NEW YEAR!

My New Year brought tears to my eyes…

Blessing abundant and Treasures galore.

Here is the best news of the year:

Damon and I are Engaged!!!!!!!!!!!!

You will have to ask how he did it, because it was so special and perfect that I will never forget. I love Damon with all my heart. And there is nothing like finally announcing that to the world. So stay tuned for save the dates and more info to come.

So the last few months of the year blew by faster then you could believe.
But there were plenty of beautiful moments and pictures to capture the memories.

Amara-Starr’s Birthday was a blast. She turned 8 and we celebrated by bowling as a family with cake and ice cream at Uncle Charles’s.

Thanks Giving Day gave a “Picture Perfect” image of the meaning of that day. It was truly a day to be thankful for.

Christmas was a Blessing (busy but still a blessing). It was an extra special time for us this year with Damarea so alert and aware of the Traditions. He was spoiled with gifts as with the years prior but I was spoiled with joy from watching his enjoyment.

Take a Peek

Say hello to the newest addition to our family, or well she or he is on the way!




Most of you know how BIG this is to me, and how emotional these last weeks have been. Yes we have tried multiple times since Damarea to give him a little brother of sister. In those trials, none have lasted past last week.

I was brought to tears when I heard the heartbeat last Friday, and again at first sight of my new baby today! My excitement can be expressed with no other words then “Thank you Lord”

Life is a blessing; ever y day, every breath, every being, don’t take it for granted!

Until Next Time GOD Bless!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

This was the first year Damarea went door to door trick-or-treating… He sure got the hang of things quickly.

We had so much fun, we went with Ariana and Khy-Khy. Damarea was Buzz Light year, Ari was Dorthy, and Khy was Tinker Bell, aren’t they adorable?

Things were blissful and jolly as they went door to door gathering candy, that is until they came to the first scary house on our rout. The motion censored music, made all of the kids jump, then on the porch were they were handing out candy, was a hanging skeleton with dark red Eyes. Damarea didn’t like him one bit, and didn’t care about getting any candy if he had to go up there by him. LOL It was so cute. From then on Dubby was cautious about every house we approached, he held out hands tight, and let the girls go first.

Never have I known the joys of life until now

OK... So Just after posting the poem below this one, I ran accross this poem that lifted my spirits. Still yet my words, just when GOD wanted me to say them.

Never have I known the joys of life until now
Many ask me “Why now and how?”
…
Only recently have my eyes been opened to perfection
This new standard with open expectations
It’s the interaction between relations
Laughing, smiling, and loving sensations
The touches, the moments, and pointless conversations
Which true meanings surpass their simple definitions.

Never have I known the joys of life until now
Many ask me “Why now and how?”
…
It’s as if I found a stolen key
The key that unlocks the heart and soul of me
My destiny
And everything God meant for me to be.
I’ve been granted vision to see
And I see a new world in front of me.

Never have I known the joys of life until now
Many ask me “Why now and how?”
…
The more I sit and contemplate
And try to see how life relates
The more I see it complicate
So Wait!
Now I must simply appreciate
The tiniest, simplest acts of fait
And thank God that it is not too late.

Because never have I known the joys of life until now
And I know not… why now or how

Just Rest

I am sooo tired,
mentally, physically, and emotionally.
I am sooo tired,
of the ciaos and uncertainty.
I need a vacation
from today
To escape
this reality in some type of way.
I need to adopt a persona
In which, I pretend
For only one minute
Well… maybe ten.
But in my new fantasy
Things would be fine,
and relaxation can take over
my body and mind.
There would be no problems to solve,
Nothing to discuss,
No worries in mind,
And no need to rush.
The stresses of life
Will release and set free
Every emotion
That is currently handcuffed to me
And for those few minutes my soul
will just rest
and recharge
before returning to this world and this mess...
