What's Been Happening in My Life

It's so hard to believe that it's been two years since I last posted, and so much has happened within those two years.

2014 continued with me changing jobs and trying something new. I started work at Mac Haik that June and shortly after that, my relationship with my boyfriend went south. He dumped me that July and I felt that my world had turned completely upside down. But with my family and friends close by my side, I managed to get my act together and ended up getting my own little apartment that December.

2015 brought me new friendships right off the bat, and I was able to finally blossom into the person I wanted to be. The end of April, my friendship with a guy I had met at work the year before took a turn for something more serious. Although neither of us were wanting to jump into a relationship having both been burned in our past, it seemed impossible for us to stay away from each other. I fell more and more in love with him with each passing day.

Mid-October I quit my job at Mac Haik and went to work in Waco as a service advisor. It presents it's own challenges at times, but I do enjoy working with some of the people I work with. A few weeks after I started work there, Darrold got us elite tickets to the NHRA Drag Racing Finals in Dallas. We had a suite right on the lines where we were in arms length to the cars and drivers. It was amazing.

Fast forward a couple of months, and he made my dreams come true when he dropped to one knee on New Year's Eve and asked me to be his wife. Of course I said yes, and our wedding is in exactly 3 weeks! April 16, 2016.

I am the happiest I have ever been and am so lucky to be marrying such an amazing man.

100 Days To Brave - Day 1

( Click here to order your copy ) I've noticed several of my friends sharing their stories on social media lately with the hashtag #100DaysToBrave, and my curiosity took over so I downloaded the book to my tablet. Let's just say, I think I have found a new favorite daily spiritual devotional.  Perfect. Just what I needed. Something short, sweet and meaningful to add to my day.  The first assignment (day one) is to make a public declaration that you are committing the next 100 days to ‘being brave’. I honestly do not know what this means in my life but I’m beyond excited to find out. Couldn’t we all use a little more bravery in our life? Lately I have been feeling like something is missing in my life. I don't believe in coincidences. I think these next 100 days of brave is God calling to me to dive further into Him. To explore my faith. To embrace and completely utterly surrender to His plan. To not just sit back but to ACT on His plan and make an impact. So toda...

New Chapter in His Life

He did it! Travis graduated high school, and Mom and I were beyond blessed that we were able to fly out and be there with him on his big day.

Friday Night Musings

It dawned on me tonight that I have no life. I'm not sure if it was the fact that I am home, alone, on a Friday night or... yeah, there is no "or". I have no life. So I sit here, glass of wine in hand, and have tried something fairly new. I went to Hobby Lobby last night and loaded up on all kinds of scrap-booking paper, Mod Podge and wooden foundations for my soon-to-be amazingly decoupaged projects.  This one turned out pretty cool, I think. I have no idea what I'm going to do with a decoupaged picture of myself, but whatever. It was a practice run. :) I still have no life, but at least I know how to entertain myself for a few hours without getting into some sort of mischief.
