My New Love!

2011-04-19T16:11:00.002-04:00

I'm so excited to announce that I have found a "New Love". I'm so excited for being Blessed. The feeling that I get when I'm around you is so Free and Thankful. The relationship is so open, confident and secure. I don't feel judged... fat or skinny... There is no pressure for me to be more than or less than anyone or myself. Because, I'm with you so much I can see me growing and glowing. Some days this relationship is hard work but, overall... I wouldn't change this feeling/experience for the world. I'm looking forward to many years of being together... I'm just Thankful!!!

Love You!
Me

This is the Day!!!

2011-03-18T16:02:00.002-04:00

I'm so excited today even though I'm so SLEEPY!!! OMG! You know I'm just Thankful for Life.

Hey

2011-03-04T14:47:00.004-05:00

Many don't know that I just went on a road trip... I would like to mark this road trip off of my bucket list but, I'm NOT! LOL I would like to modify my bucket list! The next time I go on a road trip I would like to go slower and enjoy some of the states as I drive through. I did have a chance to stop and shop alittle in each state (you know me a post card!). The interesting thing about the whole trip was I had a layover in Philidelpia. I'm excited to go back there and visit different places. I did meet a nice man that made the flight with turbulence from Hell a littel better. Mr. Gill! It was my pleasure co-politing the plane with you! LOL

This trip was remarkable because I had the opportunity to hang out with my Mom, Dad and sisters. I Love them! Family!!!

I can't wait to skate and scrap and everything this weekend!!! YAY!!!

Have a Wonderful Day!!!

Let's Hear it for Roller Skating!!!

2011-02-14T16:14:00.002-05:00

My February has started off with a BANG!!! I'm telling you. It's been wonderful. I've found my new work out activity! I started skating on Sunday (Feb. 6, 2011) Night (Super Bowl Sunday). I'm telling you it HURTED (is that a word?)!!!! OMG! But, it was so much fun! First, my mind wanted to tell my body I can do everything I could do when I was a teen!!! When I got out there to roll around "MY BODY" told me that I couldn't do anything my mind was telling me to do and if I kept it up I was going to hit the ground. The Greatest thing that I've walked away knowing is... first with God all things are possible and Determination will take you further than your mind is welling to go. I'm so excited that when I felt a little burn and a little ache... I didn't give up. I took some Aleve and kept skating forward. The energy was GREAT! I felt so good for days later. I've craved the rink!

To Be Continued!!!!

My Mom's Day!

2011-01-05T16:07:00.003-05:00

Today is January Fifth!

My Mom is so special... I love her so much. I couldn't have asked for a better Mother. I wish I could hang out with her for the birthday. She understands but, sooner than later I expect to spend some special time with her.

Since I'm blogging... I guess I can say HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! This is year 2011. Can you believe it... where did 2010 go? I must say it was one of the best years I've had in a long time. At the beginning...

January was a blur... I had a new job and had to wake up very early in the morning. Oh wait... on the first day of the new year I sang with our Choir ( Burning Bush Internation Ministries) at a Very Blessed Wedding.

Fabuary was equally a blur... I had to reorganize myself.

March was very nice I got my apartment and enjoyed sometime to myself.

April was practice practice practice... we (the choir) sang and had awesome practices!!!

May was AWESOME I had the pleasure to spend with my Scrapping Sisters. I Love them so much and the time with them is so Priceless.

June was interesting because, I began dreaming about going to different cities in Michigan to explore! At the end of June... I headed to St. Simons Island to be in my friends wedding... It was very nice to be there because I got to see my mom, sister and other friends... It was so Good!!! I Love Love Love them! On my drive home... I stopped to see Ta-Nisha it was Great!!! I enjoy visiting Ta-Nisha it's so peaceful... you know...Like a hope away from home.

July was Great... I went to Port Huron to the Mackinaw Boat Race. It was awesome the sun was shining the parks were packed and the water was BLUE!!! yes Blue... I enjoyed every moment. Later that month I went to Chicago hung out at the Navy Pier and CHA Craft Show. Man, that weekend was perfect!

August was my Birthday month... I had an AWESOME time with my Scrapping Sistahs in Chicago. I had Brunch with Cara Jean at the Drake. One of my must do's was to see the Buckingham Fountain... It was AWESOME. I Loved it and my pictures are Beautiful! Lastly, I watched a Shakespeare play... The Emporors New Clothes. It was Great. I laughed and applied some of the lessons to my life. It was totally an A+ trip! And how could you go to Chicago and not get/mention Garretts Popcorn!! I love the Chiacago Mix!

September was GREAT!! We trained and trained and practiced and practiced... for Verizon's Wireless, How Sweet the Sound... It was Sat. Sept 24 our song was "Stir Up the Gift". We won that night. God was awesome in that place... The atomoshere was Amazing... the prayers that were prayed lined up perfectly with that night... from Cece Winans comment about us being the 7th group (and it's number meaning of completion) to setting the atmosphere which the choir before us sang Presence of the Lord is here... I'm telling you the move of God was totally there!!! The night was very Awesome! I am totally Humbled.

October allowed me to spend time with my Sistah's Again!!! I Love Love Love Them! I also enjoyed the focus on Women's Health and Breast Cancer awareness. It's totally a must for us to be educated and celebrate ourselves.

November was very busy... we worked and danced and prayed for our trip to Washington DC with Verizon's How Sweet the Sound. In DC there were 14 different choirs (707 people) from all over the US. I had a wonderful time meeting new people and seeing some of the sites of DC... Oh yeah... The Gaylord hotel was AWESOME!!!! What a Beautiful Place!!!

December was interesting... We got a new baby... Alisha had John II. She is the beautiful baby!!! I Love him! I tried to rest... and celebrate Christmas. I did buy a nice new coat. I also attended the Best Watch Night Service I've ever been too EVER... at Burning Bush International Ministries... We had a miracle service... people were Blessed!!! God is so God!!! I must say that I've been to Burning Bush Watch Night Services and I must tell you they get better and better... I totally Love them and would rather be there on NYE any and every year for the rest of my life!!!

Well... That was part of my year... LOL I guess I was long winded but, I'm so Thankful!!! I Love you all!!

My Wednesday Thoughts

2010-12-15T18:21:00.002-05:00

Last night I talked to my friend... I mean my best friend. I've looked for her for many years and she found me on facebook. I couldn't believe it. She FOUND ME!!! I am so excited it's not funny. You know I always thought about finding her but, I never thought about what I would say. The first thing I said to her was... "It's you... You sound the same"! Then I said so from the last night I saw you tell me what you've been up too!!! The craziest thing she said was she moved to Georgia in 1992. I couldn't believe it. I could NOT believe that she moved to the same state I lived in months after me... I moved to Georgia in Dec 1991!!! She said she thought I was in Jekyll Island... I was like I'm sure that was me... We talked with shear awe of how close we were and joy that the long awaited reconnection has finally happened. I'm excited and I can't wait to visit Rome, GA in the near future. I CAN'T wait to see my beautiful friend! She's so Beautiful inside and out... I'm excited!!!! I can't wait to take some pictures with her. It's been 19 years since we've been together, talked or even taken a picture...

I'm going to pray that the Lord bless my friend and keep her safe in His arms!!! God is so wonderful to me. I'm truly Thankful for all of his Blessing, Mercy, Peace and JOY!!! I Love my friend Tammy, her children and I'm excited for what the future has in store for us!!

God Bless!!!

Snowy Day!

2010-12-12T15:55:00.004-05:00

Snowy day... boy is Gods work so beautiful!

This weekend I stayed home and scrapped... I mean I made so many cards... It was very nice to have pizza for 2 days and lounge... sing songs... watch mime of my favorite songs. I attempted to take pictures of both the cards and snow. It really snowed all day. I did watch this father and son have fun on the snowy hill at my apartment... it was so cute. Another thing that I've never seen before was someone make a snow man... Really he only made half of the snowman... It was neat. I mean you see it on tv but, this little boy made a big ball by himself by rolling it in the snow. It was cool!!

Today Monday (being that I had to edit this post because I sent it initially from my droid), I had to dig my car out of the snow and ice... I don't think getting snow off the car was bad but, the ICE made the whole experience CRAZY!!!! I couldn't see... I had to clear it off the best of my ability to drive to the store to buy some deicer... Oh wait... did I say it took me 5 mins to get my door to open (not the drivers either). My car was frozen. I couldn't believe it. The back window was solid. To make it worst the wind was fierce. I mean FIERCE... or as the Chicagoans would say the "Hawk was coming down". It was crazy. I survived the drive. When I pulled out of the drive way I was not able to stop... my car ice skated!!! I laugh now but, it was far from funny! Very dangerous. I did good driving to work doing no more than 20 mph. Ya'll pray for me. This place could be very dangerous. By the way... it's 14degrees!

The song in my head right now is "Incredible God... Deserves Incredible Praise".

How Sweet the Sound!!!

2010-11-17T12:17:00.004-05:00

Marlon, Me, Tiffany and Darien
Most of us getting ready to go home at the National Airport.

The Gaylord Hotel where Verizon put us up! BEAUTIFUL!!!

As many of you may know I had the pleasure to be with my church Burning Bush International Ministries competition choir. During this time we 90 of us has been stretched, pulled and worked over both mentally and physically. I know that during our ministry we were very focused on the works of the Lord, performing for the Lord and go for the GOAL and not the Gold. This was very experience has drawn all of us closer and also has increased my desires to grow in the Lord MORE!!! You know it's important for us a believer to live a life after Christ. He should always be reflected in our behaviors. I am so Thankful for God's love and direction. Our song was Stir up the Gift - Joe Pace. Our performance was a production... also we were featured in the Washington Post newpaper (picture included) even though we didn't win.

" Although it didn't win, no one outdid Detroit's Burning Bush International Ministries Mass Choir in terms of spectacle with its rendition of Joe Pace's "Stir Up the Gift" that had some of the men wearing "Phantom of the Opera" masks and the women donning fans -- all while incorporating hip-hop and black Greek fraternity step-show dance moves." ~John Murph

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/11/14/AR2010111403972.html

I've learned so much about singing since I've been in this choir. One of the most important things is if you take time and apply the lyrics to your life you will not only feel the Joy but you will feel the change!!! Welcome it... Believe me WELCOME IT!!!! Somethings that we said were... Should not be... be afraid... God has not given us the Spirit of Fear but the Lord has given us POWER!!!!! We need to use the tools of Love, Power, Joy, Peace and watch God work a wonderous work in us and for us!!!

Love You!!!

How Sweet the Sound Part 1

2010-09-17T14:41:00.006-04:00

Some of everybody... ok 1/3

Kim, Susan and Me!

Last night I realized... I learned... I understood. You know God is so wonderful to me. He's the only one that can heal, love, save, and that died for me. I love him so much and when his anointing touched me I just weep because of Joy, gladness and pure Love! I am so Thankful.

Our choir is in the HSTS competition and I have been practicing. I am very excited. I love to sing, I love the choir and I'm very excited for our opportunity. Last night it happened. I was in Worship mode while we were doing the sound check. The song was "I Love You Jesus, I worship and adore you... just want to tell you... Lord I love you more than anything..." God let me know that everything that is going on is for my making. I need him. I need him to survive. I need him to make it through to the next level in him. He wants me to Be open and recieve the words that we are singing for his Glory... I need to allow him to make me over and over... Mold me. I need to know that we are ministering and the moves is just half of the ministry!!

Pictures will follow!!!

Well Well Wellllllll... I'm posting again!

2010-07-28T16:40:00.008-04:00

Ok... Let me catch up again... June... I don't know what when down in that month. I do know I was on a High from going to the Sistah Retreat in May. I have been scrapping like crazy. Also, I've been hanging with some of the women from SOC site at Archivers. It's been GREAT! I've prepared for my trip down to St. Simons Island for Tamsyns Wedding. It was good to see some (I repeat) some of my friends. I didn't get to see many people at all. I wish I was able to hang out more but, it is what it is. I did get to spend time at my church, get a word that I've needed... from the Man of God's mouth. I Thank God for him and First Lady Nicole. They are Truly Special People. I had a wonderful time with my Mom and Dad Menefee. I Love this with God's Awesome Love. It was so Great spending time with them! I love their house... definately a HOME! My Mom and Sister were doing Great... It was good spending time with them it's been a long time. I am so greatful to have spent more time with my mom than I thought. She's so kind and makes the best pound cakes ever! The Wedding was at Epworth By the Sea (the chapel below is where we were; outside).

Also, in July I had plans to go to Port Huron... Port Huron has Mackinaw Boat Races yearly and I heard this was a nice place to be and see... So I went. It was nice, The boats were Great and when I left the "port" area I saw the AWESOME Blue water! I will be returning on Aug 4th to go on a water cruise for 2 hours and explore the water and the Beautiful bridge. I can't wait. The only thing about going to the port... I didn't get to see the boats sails... I was so sad but, the water brightened up my day. I will be going back. Lastly, Rochelle went to Chicago and brought me some popcorn back! It was sooooooooooo Good!!! I had to take a picture of it and share it with my friends!!! I was too excited about the taste and ate it all so now I'm going to chicago to hang out with some of my sistahs and to get my popcorn fix!!! More pics will be coming soon!!! Heheheheeeee... LOL

Happy Birthday to me... August1! I can't believe the year is almost gone!! Thank god for a Good Year!!! I give him all the Glory, Honor and Praise!!! I'll be back soon... enjoy the pics!

Ok... So, I live in Michigan. I'm Loving it. This weekend I had to be in GEORGIA! It was time for my Scrappin' Sistah's Retreat! The drive was good. I did the normal. I sung, talked on the phone, prayed along the way. I then made a pitstop in Flowery Branch, GA to see Arneshia. Shirl caught up with us and Olive Garden was very nice. P.S.

I can't Believe...

2009-11-16T23:21:00.002-05:00

I can't believe it's been awhile since I've updated my Blog. I love my blog. I hope my Blog still loves me.

Well, everything has been good since I've made my move. I really Love being back. The weather has been very good. I can't complain even though I can muster up alittle small tiny complaint... Today it was COLD! ok... that's enough. LOL

School is going good. I pray that my instructor feels better... She's been out of class and I know that this flu thingy is going around. You know... Ta-nisha's teacher died from complications from H1N1. I do NOT want that for my teacher because she's the greatest!! She has the Heart of Gold and really LOVE her role as an Instructor/Academic Advisor. Dr. Tack... I'm praying for you.

Well, Thanksgiving is coming up. I have plans to go to Mrs. Ross house. I can't wait. Other than that I don't have any plans. God is so Good! I would like to go home and spend time with my mom and dad but, in due season. I have so many things to be Thankful for... I don't know where to begin...

Scrapping... I'm going scrapping at Teefah's this weekend... I'm excited. I haven't been since Holloween... I'm ready!!!

I can't wait for church... I love the WORD!!!! I've been singing in the choir... Do you believe it? Let me see if I can post at least one of the songs... LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GVZeRIaAhI&feature=related

Sunday...! It's past for this week but... SUNDAY!

2009-10-19T02:18:00.002-04:00

This morning was really nice. I'm Thankful for another day! God is so good to me. It's amazing how when you read the bible and apply it to your life... when you go back and look at the warning and correction that's provided Man, you can't do nothing but, say Thank you Lord!

I missed my Scrappin' Sistah's this weekend. I will be there in May (Lord's will). I can't wait to scrap something... I feel alittle out of tune. I need to do another baby book. Little Calib book will be the next one to complete... without pictures... I would love to have some pics of him but, I haven't seen him. Well, it's a must do!!!

To Day is the DAY!!!

2009-10-10T11:29:00.003-04:00

Good Morning... I'm excited about to day. I am ready! I have prayed about it and I'm going to the wedding! I am going to come back and complete my paper. I will take pics!!!

It's Been A While

2009-10-10T02:45:00.005-04:00

I know it's been a while. I had some changes in life again and only Jesus can help me through this life lesson. I'm so thankful to have him on my side. I am working hard in school and I can't wait until my career take off.

Nothing much is going on... I'm applying for different jobs and higher education careers. I'm faithful! The outcomes are going to be greater than anything I can image.

Ok... Facebook... it's a nice tool. I just reconnected with my God Son's Dad!!! It was a good friend to me! It's amazing that he's married and have a son that looks like him. I'm so excited and the cool thing is him and his family lives less than 4 hours away! I can't wait to see them! WOW God is Good!

Music... OK! I've been listening to this song on my WOW Gospel cd... It's called --- Even Me by Crystal Aikin. It's so beautiful... It's a plead to the Lord saying...

"I don't deserve... the love you shown... the blood you've shed.... covers my wrong... beyond my faults... Oh Lord you see and stead you still use use even me...Oh lord I tried to do my best... although sometimes I do much less. You've called my name and I ran away but, still you call me another day! Yes! even me Lord... Even me!!! Though scared and broken and unworthy... my guilty stains you've wash them clean instead you still used even me. Some times I've fall and make mistakes but brand new mercies you show every day... you are my strength when I get week and out of the darkness you lifted me!!!! Yes even me... even me though scared and broken and unworthy... my guilty stains"

I can't find the link of this song on Youtube but, I can find the other version... But, this is the jam.

I hope the lyrics ministered to you as it did me.

I am going to try and express myself more on here. I have some things to get off my mind.

Thanks for visiting.
God Bless!

Some are fishing and others are flying their kites. Its amazing what an evening at the beach will do! the Joy of the Lord is mine and I'm so Glad and Blessed!

2009-06-15T20:51:00.001-04:00

Another Great Night! I'm at the beach sitting very close to the water. The waves are calmin and the people are friendly... Thank God.

2009-06-13T21:03:00.001-04:00

Have you ever sat on the beach in the evening just to marvel in the sounds, watch the lighting in the sky and pray? the feeling is indiscrible!

2009-06-13T20:57:00.001-04:00

Its so important to live life. Oft times people are placed in your life to plant those seeds that will get your mind wondering. Thank God for the seed planters!

My Family Visit!

2009-05-26T09:56:00.001-04:00

I had a wonderfully beautiful time with my family when they were here in St. Simons. My little sisters have grown to be so tall. I really love them. My dad was handsome as ever. I'm so Blessed to have 3 great sisters. I pray that God continues to Bless them and that they continue to seek him!!!

2009-05-13T01:17:00.004-04:00

Pleased don't laugh at what I'm about to say! But, why tonight I begin printing some photos for the Sistah Retreat and I realized... That my scrapbooking room/office is the same color as the Laker uniform!!!! I am too funny! Look here are some snaps!!! LOL I am too out down. I need to add some purple in the room to make it have both colors but, I'm just amazed at the gold color of my room and how... it's going to look wonderful with my lay out I'm going to do!!!

Let's Go L.A.

The Los Angeles Lakers... Played tonight!

Vitamin D Day!!!

2009-05-09T19:43:00.002-04:00

My Big sister showed up to the beach with me today! It was a Great Surprise! I haven't seen her in a few weeks. Yes, I know we live in the same town but, life! That's all I have to say. So, we sat there let the sun soak in and people watched. Everyone was having a good time. Many families. It was very nice to see the little kids play in the water. Very Joyful. I know I got an excellent tan and so did my sister. What a wonderful day and time I had soaking in some of the natural Vitamin D!

Lakers!!!

2009-05-04T23:51:00.002-04:00

Hey Kobe!!! How are you? You and the Lakers... must handle those Rockets!

This Weekend!!!!

2009-05-03T21:04:00.006-04:00

Ok, This weekend was good. I was a little concerned because I did not come into this week with A+ health. My ear is trying me!

I really enjoyed watching the game on Sat... I wanted Chicago to win but, I guess the Celtics out played them. The Celtics did have more skill and knowledge. I love the way the Celtics slowed down when they needed too. I think when Chicago learn that this skill is about patience and timing they will be Great! I can't wait to see them preform next year! Today, Sunday... Atlanta did there THANG! I'm so proud of them. I'm ready for the next round... Lakers on Monday!!! Let's Go Lakers!!!

Sunday... Oh How I Love Jesus!!! I really Love my Church. I love being ministered too. Again, the Sunday word was directed towards me. I'm so Thankful!!! On my drive home it was such a wonderful day. The sun was shining so brightly I decided to go to the beach. I took some pictures... but, forgot to take my chair to chill. It was totally worth the visit. I'm going to put my chair back in the truck. You know... the beach is that place where you can sit there and just enjoy God's marvellous wonders. See the Pics! Don't look at my hair blowing in the WIND!!

Jessica Reedy!!!! Do your thang! Girl, you can sing! You are ANOINTED!!! I pray that she's SUNDAY'S BEST!!!! But, the last THREE were very GOOD!!!

Random thought! I want some cookies!!

Let's Go MONDAY!!! This week is going to be AWESOME! I'm naming and claiming it NOW!!!

Oh, what a joyous sound when I hear her say "Yes"! I couldn't believe she could speak so clear... my what a first birthday brings. Kenn-Kenn is so sweet and I can't wait to hang out with her again. Hopefully, another 344days won't pass before it happens.

I wish we could travel together often... but, I am truly Thankful for everyone! I can see the growth in myself by meeting new people and keeping in touch with the ones I've had for years! I really and truly value friendships!!

A little history of me...

2009-04-19T22:11:00.008-04:00

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Every year before I could remember I've been travelling to St. Simons Island, Georgia. Yes, Georgia has islands... I had the best Grandparents in the world. Thomas and Katherine. They had the best house in the world. It was the coolest. Ofttimes, I think of it when I see the color purple. I wish I knew who built it. I wish I had a picture of the actual land and the animals that lived there. I do have memories and every now and then I find a great picture. Pictures are truly priceless! Below is a picture of my Grandparents house... This picture is dated 1970. They moved out of that house in 1987; there is no telling how long they lived there... my dad was born in '44 - Dad said that the house was there years before he was born. The house had 5 bedrooms, the biggest bathroom ever!!! and the Best smelling kitchen where all the food made with Love (any grandchild would love to visit). I miss watching the thunderstorms in the middle of the day while sittin' on the sofa on the front porch... I miss the sloped floor as you walk in the front door... I miss looking out of the window at night and seeing nothing on the other side because there was "NO" light - just corn fields... I miss the beautiful front room decorated nicely and watching my Grandma read her bible and talk with my Granddad! Those were the days... when I was too little to stay home by myself... when I didn't want to go outside after dark because it was "TOO" dark! when the pear tree was huge... when my sister would have to rub me down with alcohol because I was bit badly by the mosquitoes... when the horse was crazy... when the dog were lazy because of the heat... the roosters were weird too... the pig or hog was extra fat and the neighbor was 1/2 mile away! Oh, how I miss running from the car to the door because I was a city girl and I just could get used to being in the country!!! I cried every night to GO HOME!! Those were the days! LOL

I thank God for that experience!

I need to...

2009-04-13T20:55:00.003-04:00

SCRAP!!!

I really need to make some cards. I have some special birthdays that near... like today and for the next few days. I have not scrapped a card. I should be ashamed. I love all of my friends and family who are celebrating birthdays. I wish I had it to make them a card!!! My My My!!! I need to get it together! I am out of my routine! I need to work on me! Lord!!!

It's Been Awhile!!

2009-04-10T20:23:00.005-04:00

It's been awhile this I know. I don't know what happened... I just fell off. First it was too cold to be sitting in the front of the house and playing on the computer... All of a sudden Months passed by!!! I couldn't believe it. Time left me in the wind. I haven't scrapped, shopped, travelled or did nothing! I have been getting my Church on! I have a new Church! I love it. I did love my first church... they really laid a foundation. But, my current Church is HOME! I Love the delivery of the Word! I Love the enthusiaum of My Pastor. I Love the realness and transparency of his life and passion for Christ. I Love the first Lady! God is so AWESOME!!! I am Growing!!! I have Grown and I look forward to keep striving forward!!!

In a nut shell. My schedule has been very busy with work. Work Work Work. I work 2 jobs and I love them both. I just came back from seeing one of the cutest, sweetest babies I've every seen! I'm excited for Life and I'm Thankful for the many Blessings God has given me.

Thank you Lynne for keeping me on my toes! I will vote!!!

I Love You All!!! Many Blessings!

Today is Valentine's Day

2009-02-14T16:33:00.008-05:00

Today is Valentine’s Day and the song that has been ringing in my ear is, “Unquenchable” by Shekinah Glory. The lyric that is playing over and over in my head is… He is the air I breathe… the wind beneath my wings… my heart and spirit!!! God is my love and he is my valentine. I’m so excited that in 2009 a sad thought has not been my main thought when thinking about valentines. I’m truly Blessed. I pray that all couples are enjoying themselves today, tomorrow and forever more.

Yesterday was a very bad/tragic airplane accident. I pray for the family and friends of everyone effected. It’s amazing how one minute you’re talking with someone and the next minute they are gone. I know that it’s very important to say, “I love your loved one, treat them right and hug them” but, how much do we really understand that our time here on earth is but a vapor? The way that God loves us is so perfect in spite of everything/thought/action we/I do. God Loves us!!! God is Love!!! I love him!!! Daily, I strive to love people the way God want me to and not the way I want to. When feelings and emotions get involved my mood changes but, God… his never changes.

This year so far has been wonderful. I can’t complain at all. I love life and I love love love God. My goal is to work very hard, do Gods will, grow in God, travel, scrapbook, and be me.

Things that has been happening… I made a small purchase. I went to Target… It’s the first time this year (I’m sure only once this year). I got some wall art. I know it doesn’t sound like a big deal but, It is to me. I haven’t (let me repeat) I have not purchased any wall art or frames since I left Michigan in Feb. 2007. Here’s the picture… I really like my purchases.

Another event that has occurred… I had company from Chicago. This very nice man came down to check on his property (that’s next to mine). Well, he informed me that he’s interested in parking his mobile home right next to my house. I was so upset! I’m not playing I was upset that he thought he was going to clean a small spot of land off and plant his mobile home right next to my house. So, he had the land cleared… which made me mad because it exposes my house to the road… Now, you can drive by and see my house. I don’t like that! And, then I found out that “he can not plant his mobile home next to my house because it’s against SSI’s land ordinance. SO! That means that I have this piece of undeveloped wet land (yes, I said wet land) that is not manicured, that does not look like my green grass/dry dirt - sticking out like a sore thumb. To top it off it’s, right before you arrive to my house! Then, on Feb 12, 2009 he goes back to the comforts of his Chicago home where is has everything set up just like he wants it... I’m sure no exposed wet land!!! I wish that he cared a little. See the picture!!!! I know it sounds like I’m mad/upset… but, I’m not. The first night I was! Then, it was time to go to bed so I prayed about it and have not been mad/upset since. I just wanted to share on my blog! SMILE!

Well, lastly. I love love love my job as an Academic Advisor for Troy University! I work with some very nice people and I love meeting the students. I can see this job as a stepping stone into a larger campus and more students. I am very Thankful… My boss is a wonderful person and I admire her knowledge of Higher Education and gusto for her job! I look forward to many opportunities as they arise… and I’m thanking God every step of the way!!!

Day 1 of 2009!!!

I must say that I LOVED the Father/Daughter dance song titled... I Loved her First by Heartland played. It was the most beautiful song I've every heard from a father to a daughter. I promised myslef that I was going to remember this song for my Father/Daughter dance. The food was Great!!! The day could not have been more perfect. I pray that they continue to put God first and Love each other with a fresh love just as they did this day!

Humility and Determination!!!

2008-11-05T10:52:00.008-05:00

This morning I woke up feeling very Happy! I love that the Sun was shining brightly and the Lord allowed me to see another day. I Thank God for his mercy and Love!

Last night was the first night of the historic Presidential win with Sen. Barack Obama as our new Leader. This morning is the first day of the Our Change... I'm going to count down to January 20, 2009 when he is inaugurated.

Listening to Sen. McCain concede was very interesting. I felt he did a wonderful job of trying to calm his supporters and also congratulate Sen. Obama. Sen. McCain was very sullen and humbled by the experience.

Listening to Sen. Obama speak was a great feeling. I don't think I would have been able to stand and listen live... I would have be crying all over the place. However, I did enjoy the way he referenced God and explained that he will need everyone's support both those that supported him and those that opposed. I loved when he stated that he must lead this country with Humility and Determination. I pray that he continue to seek God and lead this country with Humility, Determination and Dignity.

After the win, I began listening to the Mayor of Newark, New Jersey Cory Booker explained that his mother said, if someone think this win is about a single human race you are wrong... this historic run and win for the highest governmental official was about the love and compassion of people and the country.

I've read this and thought to share it... Former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who is from the West African nation of Ghana, said the vote was a historic event that he had never expected to see in his lifetime. He said Obama's victory demonstrates "America's extraordinary capacity to renew itself and adapt to a changing world."

I also loved the model of the first family. I love that we have a African American First Family. I love that they show public affection, His wife waited for him when he was leaving the stage, the children and family members were there and that they are a real live verison of an African American Family.

HUMILITY AND DETERMINATION!!!!!

Why is this Election important it me?

2008-11-04T09:29:00.008-05:00

This election is important to me because, I get to be apart of the most unthinkable historic moment in the United States of America. I never and I mean NEVER thought that there would ever be a African American President. I am so excited to see this experience manifest. I Pray for his family and all the decisions he makes. This election is important to me because it's not about one race it's about the people of this Country... NO the People of this WORLD progressing forward.

I can't believe that A.I. is going to Detroit... I can't believe that Chauncey Billups AND Antonio McDyess is going to Denver!!! What's going on???

Scraproom Pics!

2008-11-01T10:35:00.005-04:00

The pictures are posted from right to left. I have a few more pictures I'm going to put on the walls and I still need to have my wall quote. I think what I'm missing is some more organizational tools. Also, I did buy another basket that will match the other on the 1st-3rd shelf.

2008-10-29T11:14:00.001-04:00

I was looking on Teefah's Blog page and I found this wonderful picture of My Dad and wife. It was so nice to see them. I love them! God Bless them.

I Voted 10/28/08

2008-10-29T09:44:00.006-04:00

I didn't like my pic so I cropped the sticker off my shirt to post it.

I went to vote around 4:45pm. I was in line next to a school teacher that had on the nicest earrings; Green my favorite color. She was there to vote a straight Republician ticket... NOTE: I did not ask who she was going vote for... I just happen to see that she checked it off on her application. Bad Me!

I haven't voted in Georgia in 8 years and it was a big surprise to see the method of voting has changed. Everything is electronic. Once I reached the inside of the fire station I noticed that no one had the long ballot forms (like Michigan). It was very interesting to see the former school teacher handing out a bright yellow card that resembled a credit card to insert in the machine. At first, I thought I would be so lost in my new experience but, I didn't fret too long. "I was a Girl on a Mission!" The atmosphere was very pleasant... There was only one child (with parent); she had to be around 12 years old. I asked her if this was her first time voting and she said No! LOL. The line moved very fast and I got on my mark and made my selections and moved on out of the was with my head held high! During my selections my blood was moving swiftly and proudly. I thank God that I had the opportunity to vote in the Presidential Election! and to vote in an Presidential Election where a Black Man was running! Obama '08

Thank God!!!

Sad Events of this World...

2008-10-27T13:51:00.004-04:00

It's always sad to read about murders... Last week when I read about the Arkansas Anchorwomen that was brutally beat... I had no idea that she would die on by Sunday. The whole crime was very senseless. I pray for her family. I pray that justice is done.

Then you have Jennifer Hudson's family... I'm talking about UNCALLED FOR!!! just SENSELESS!!! It doesn't make any sense. This whole murder/kidnapping thing is just too much. To kill someones Mom, Brother and Nephew is totally ridiculous. Nothing is going to be resolved that way... it's just CRAZY. My heart goes out to her, her sister and anyone associated with their family. My prayer for the family is that they let God into those empty spots in their heart. I know it's easy to say but, I've been there and I know God is a way maker, can do all things and he will comfort you if you let him.

Another tragedy that has happened this weekend was... On a college campus in Arkansas. Two killed on a campus and one still in the hospital. It's so sad when you send your children to school to further there education and then you get the call that they have been killed on campus. This crime is becoming too common... to commonly ridiculous!!! I pray for the family and friends of these victims.

Lord comfort your People!!!

Happy Birthday Heather D.

St. Simons!

2008-10-23T14:26:00.003-04:00

Ok. my dad is from St. Simons Island, Georgia and I currently live here. It's a interesting little place that many people seek to visit for special quite getaways. In spite of what may sound like a remote place (in Georgia) you can really drive over the bridges and get here... The island is approximately4 hours south east of Atlanta, 1 hour south of Savannah, GA and 1 hour north of Jacksonville, Fl. This island is 11.5 miles long and 3 miles wide. There is a pier, a lighthouse... and plenty of marshland to set off every one's sinuses when the weather change. This is the place to be if you want to see wonderful fireworks during the fourth of July, art festivals throughout the year or to enjoy warm weather year around.

When I get a chance I will add some snap shots of the island but, my pics will never display the real beauty of this island!

I know... Straight Random!!!

This is the day!

2008-10-21T13:31:00.005-04:00

I have Five random things to say today... Inspired by another blog; that gave me good laugh the other day.

1. I LOVE Cheez-it's the real ones not the other brands.

2. I really Sing all Day!!! But, don't like the way I sound on the mircophone so that's why I won't sing at church.

3. I miss Michigan more ways that I care to share but, I don't want to move back.

4. I have two lizards in my house (non-pets) and one of them I've nicknamed "Ghetto"! The first one appeared in my house and the second one was on my door one night when I came home... Well, I opened the door and he landed on the floor. He was very bold and firm in his stance! I watched him for two days. The first day he walked over to the table by the entrance and then that night he was across the room on the blinds posted like he was King Kong hanging on the pole... Just posted. Well, the next day I came home and "Ghetto" was on top of the vertical blinds (over the sliding glass door)... He decides to move but, not only did me move he... proceeds to jump from one blind to the other. You are talking about FUNNY!!! He was jumping and hanging move than half off the skinny vertical blind... he did it about 4 times because climbing back up to the top and climbing across the wall. *** The sad thing is I've been watching them and laughing rather than removing from the HOUSE!! Silly Me ***

5. I have a tentative schedule to scrapbook more daily.

FUNNY Forward !!!

One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike behind him, 'My elbow hurts like heck. I guess I'd better see a doctor.'

'Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money,' Mike replies.

'There's a diagnostic computer down at Wal-Mart. Just give it a urine sample and the computer will tell you what's wrong and what to do about it.

It takes ten seconds and costs ten dollars . . . A lot cheaper than a doctor.'

So, Joe deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Wal-Mart.

He deposits ten dollars and the computer lights up and asks for the urine sample. He pours the sample into the slot and waits.

Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout:

'You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy activity. It will improve in two weeks. Thank you for shopping @ Wal-Mart.'

That evening, while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Joe began wondering if the computer could be fooled.

He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from his wife and daughter, and a sperm sample for good measure.

Joe hurries back to Wal-Mart, eager to ch eck the results. He deposits ten dollars, pours in his concoction, and awaits the results.

The computer prints the following:

1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. (Aisle 9)
2. Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo. (Aisle 7)
3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.
4. Your wife is pregnant. Twins. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer.
5 If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get better!

Thank you for shopping @ Wal-Mart

Shooters and Stable visits!

2008-10-09T12:59:00.002-04:00

To me Laurie looks like a "Power Sharpe Shooter Bond Girl"... She did a wonderful job at shooting the skeets.

This Stallion loved Annaliese! He was soooooo sweet!

Angie missed every Skeet!!! The instructor tried so hard to guide me but, I just didn't make the shot. I'm not too mad because I like not being a sharpe shooter.

This is Sea Island, GA.

Growing Kennedy!!!

2008-10-05T22:33:00.005-04:00

This is Kennedy, My best friends Lateefah's baby!

My little Kennedy is growing... I thought it would be nice to show how big she's getting. I love her soooooo. I wish I could hug her and hold her. But, My prayers will keep her.

WHYYYY

2008-10-04T12:49:00.004-04:00

Why do I always have some kind of "SOMETHING" coming in from the wild/outside!!! WHYYYYYY... I had to take a picture!!! You know me... He looks much smaller in person.

Needless to say... The little friendly lizard walked around the sliding glass door before he decided to go and get some fresh air. I did not bother him and he did not bother me... It was a friendly visit... However he's not invited to come back anytime soon.

Work...

2008-09-30T15:38:00.011-04:00

Oh How do I love my job. I really enjoy working here at the King and Prince Beach and Golf Resort. If any of you desire some reservations to our wonderful resort call us at 1800-342-0212. We often have specials and discounts. The view is very nice and the customer service is alway pleasant.

The reason why I love this job... The people in this company are not just co-workers but, family. This is my third time working with this company and everyone is just as friendly as before. The bosses seek to get to know everyone and make sure everyone is included. The company promote it's property, teamwork and laughter. There are many companies that want results and revenue but, never compliment nor include there employees to get results. Oh yeah, I love the food here at the resort and the easy access to the beach. SO Beautiful.

Ok, I was totally inspired by this young lady on Youtube... I think her name is Sabra723. This young lady sing very very well check her out. Anyway, she have this post that talked about her relationship with God and the book The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren... I know everyone has this book or has heard of it by now but, Chapter 35 is talking about your weaknesses. It intrigued me to look deeper into my own weaknesses. I want to use these tools to strengthen my weaknesses with the Lord as my foundation. I challenge everyone to look at this chapter and grow! I will post my weaknesses as a way to grow and strengthen them. So, until Later!!!

Scrabble

2008-09-27T19:36:00.003-04:00

One of my favor past times... and I actually found someone that will play with me. I'm so excited. One of my church friends came by and played. It was so much fun. I see my competative side coming out again. I tried to be nice but, she was not pleased. I used all the words that I know and some that I've remembered from instructions... such as QAT and YE. I thought I did a good job. I remember playing with Tiffani and how she stopped playing with me because I won to many times... The first time Tiffani won she gloated and never played with me again! it was 12/03 (I saw the score paper). Good times. Later I will enclose the picture of the board (yes, I did take a picture!!) LOL

Are you being tested??

2008-09-23T15:58:00.004-04:00

I thought this was good message and I wanted to share it!!!

Are You Being Tested?
Bishop E. Earl Jenkins

"Test me, O Lord... Examine my heart and my mind." Psalm 26:2 NIV

Let's take a look today at two tests:

(1) The offense test. Jesus said, "Offenses will come" (Lk 17:1). So be ready! Those who lead always take the worst of the flack. The front line is no place for the weak-willed or the weak-kneed. So, what are you going to do when offenses come? Get mad and get nowhere? Get even and get into trouble? Or get over it by practicing forgiveness. "If you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins" (Mk 11:25 NIV).

(2) The warfare test. This test is for those who claim to be strong in faith, but prove to be weak in fight. "When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, 'If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt'" (Ex 13:17 NIV). Now, you haven't been called to be insensitive and abrasive, but if your destiny is worth pursuing - it's worth fighting for! So, toughen up! It's a battlefield, not a bed of roses. You must engage the enemy each day using each spiritual weapon at your disposal.

If you don't he'll steal every God-given blessing you've got, including your identity, your testimony, your integrity, your family, your calling, and your future. This test demonstrates your ability to continue in your vision even while you're experiencing disappointment and opposition. So remember, the level of attack is the best indicator as to the level of blessing that waits for you beyond the attack!

Bishop Edward Earl Jenkins

Reflectin'

Church was GOOOOOOODDDD Yesterday!!! I know I had a wonderful time. The word was on point and I soaked all of it up. "Taking Authority of you!!!!" It's important to understand that God gives us the power to take control of our lives. Often people have no problem telling others how they should handle situations and or act... but, if we model our lives after God/The Word!!!! He will guide us towards the things we need to do and say in our lives.

T Barker!!!

2008-09-20T23:16:00.007-04:00

Many people don't know that I'm a Travis Barker fan. I love him and I will be praying for a full recovery from this crash. I know that God is able and can do all things. I also will be praying for DjAM and the families and friends that are grieving. It saddens me and catch me by surprise when I read the headlines.

So see my favorite track (hands down) Travis played Crank Da on the drums... You can see a close up of his drumming skills... I don't know how many times I've watched this video. Enjoy!!!

I just watched the Flo Rida video Travis did... Bangin' Watch This

Be Blessed!!!

Hello

2008-09-17T00:33:00.002-04:00

Hello It's Me.
Everything has been going fine... I had the pleasure of seeing one of my Scrapin Sista's about two weeks ago... Janine. It was so nice to see her and meet her husband. I loved the scrapin' session... and I sprained my toe. It was really bad. It still hurts believe it or not. I haven't had on any heels but, I guess I should pay more attention and not skip stairs!! But, I'm ok! I started to take a pic of it but, I just couldn't do it! LOL I hate that I didn't see you before you left town. Next time for sure. SMILE

I quit my job! Yes, for real... I quit my job. I have plans and goals but, for now I will be working for King and Prince! I am so Thankful that the stress of being a social services case manager is over... I am enjoying the peace of mind. I am so thankful of the Love that God has for me. He is my keeper! With him I can do all things!

Above is a picture of my new hair do... I am so Blessed to have a very kind hairdressor and friend!!! She Blesses me! I just need to do what she says. LOL

A little sad news... My friend Alisha (John) lost her baby; she was four months into the pregnancy. I cried when she told me the news. I am praying for them and I know that God never fails nor make mistakes.

September 3rd made a year that my nephew has passed. It was a rough year but, God is so Good to even give us 19 years with him. I wasn't very sad but, I was reflective. I love him and I there is a piece of him with me.

Remember to pray and thank you for stopping by!

8-8-08

2008-08-09T11:18:00.004-04:00

Well, I tried to post on 8-8-08 but, we had bad thrunderstorms and it wiped out my services for a long time. Actually, my home phone is still acting crazy. But, I did take a pic. I got my hair done out of my norm and I wanted to take a photo. I got it done one way for the interview at Jacksonville University but, I went back to have it done curly. When she finished... my first thought was LORD, what have I DONE!!!! I look like Curly Sue... Actually, I look like I've regressed to a Jheri Curl... but, before I left many people told me that it will fall and it will look very nice. SO, I'm trusting and by church the curls did fall. I'M SO THANKFUL for the HUMIDITY!!! LOL

I went to church and had a wonderful time on 8-8-08.

It's My Birthday!!!!

2008-08-01T02:08:00.001-04:00

My Mom, Great Aunt, Cousin and Auntie drove down from Atlanta to spend the weekend with me and my sister. We ate seafood! Went to the Beach and just plan did nothing. It was a joy. My Aunts and cousin have never been to St. Simons. They were in love with the beautiful water and skies.

This weekend was also my family reunion weekend. I had a wonderful time seeing my cousins. I love each and everyone of them.

I am going to try and explained how I felt... When I arrived to the park it was amazing to see all the bright orange shirts of everyone that you can call your Cousin, Auntie, Uncle etc... I felt like I wanted to talk with each and everyone... and love on them. I wish I could spent more time with them.

2008-07-15T22:10:00.006-04:00

My Pretty Mom

Fourth of July!!!

2008-07-05T17:31:00.002-04:00

Well, I was Blessed to see another Fourth of July. It was wonderful. I did absolutely NOTHING. I watched the whole season 10 of America's Next Top Model. It was wonderful. I heard a few fireworks and I chilled. I ate just a little food... my broccoli was the best (Thank you Dana for sharing your secret!).

New Babies!!!

2008-06-26T19:19:00.002-04:00

Ok! Let me tell you this story... I lived in Michigan for 8 years. I met Alisha in 1996 (the first time I lived in MI). Alisha and John began dating that year. Well, they married in 2000. My other best friend Lateefah and I met in 1980. Lateefah and Kris married in 2001 and moved to Michigan in 2007. OK! I MOVED from MICHIGAN... I repeat... I moved from MICHIGAN in February 2007. Let me tell you... Lateefah and Kris got pregnant in Sept... I'm talking about September 2007... HOW ABOUT Alisha and John got pregnant in June!!!! I'm going to have another new baby!!!!! I can't believe that I've moved and My Girls have gotten PREGNANT!!! I want to be there so bad... I love my friends! I love the babies! I'm going to be a new God Mother... to two babies! As you all know Lateefah has had Kennedy! I miss her and I don't know when I'm going to Michigan to play with her. I'm not sure when Alisha is due but, I will be praying for a wonderful healthy baby!

Oh yeah I did call both of them and fussed them about not getting pregnant while I was there. but, I followed up the fussings with " I LOVE YOU AND I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!

Well it's the weekend...

2008-06-21T13:54:00.003-04:00

Let's recap this week!!

First, my Lakers stopped playing basketball in the middle of the finals. Needless to say I was SAD!!! But, they played hard and learned alot.

I had a good work week. I still don't feel like I've finished everything but, I'm not worried. I heard this man speak once and he said... don't feel like you must complete every little thing all the time. Learning and working is not about completing every task but, about doing the best you can do when ever you're working on a task. Since hearing that message I've been working harder and smarter.

I hard the opportunity to buy some books for a few friends... now, all I have to do is slow down and go to the post office... Some times that just seems like an impossible task. Please forgive me!!!

Regina Belle is the lastest CD that I purchased... Can you say WOW!!! I love her work! and this is an exceptional CD! What a Blessing.

I have a new cellphone. I think I like it. It's the Glyde from Verizon. The one thing I did wrong was download and buy some music when I thought I was downloading some ringtones!!! LOL Mistakes do happen. At least I like the songs.

Scrappin' I will be completing my cards today and I will be making a page or two. I have a few friends coming over next weekend so I'm excited about that!!! We're going to have a scrappin good time!!!

Well, I guess I got somethings out!

Let's Go LAKERS!!!

2008-06-17T22:00:00.004-04:00

Let's Go LAKERS!!!! Let's go for game 7

2008-06-17T22:00:00.001-04:00

Tuesday!

2008-06-17T13:50:00.004-04:00

Ok... Today is Tuesday. I'm excited. I don't know why but, I'm excited. I feel a little happier than Normal! The Lord is doing his thing. I got to work (I'm not going to say on time but, I made it), I didn't talk on the phone much, and all of my children are stable for now. I'm thankful. One of my friends that is also a co-worker is moving to MIAMI... I'm so excited for her. She deserves all the happiness and joy that she can image +.

I have been trying to scrap! I have a card that I must complete. I have a page I want to get done.

Hey All

2008-06-09T10:44:00.002-04:00

Today is Monday. I'm excited and I am Thankful. I was totally inspired by Miss Lynne to blog today! Thanks for being an inspiration. I tried to lose my mojo but, It's coming back full force.

My goal for this week is to slow down and take care of me. I invest in myself with scrapbooking items but, I don't invest in the time to create... So, I this week I will take time out and create!!! I will be making me a calender of time blocks. I feel that's just something I need in my life at this time. I have many task and I need organization. This is new week and I will look at life with rosie eyes, make goals and accomplish them.

I'm Standing on the Promise of God!!!!

I thank God for all of my friends and scrappin' sistahs! Be Blessed!

When things get a little tight this week or a little frustrating just remember that "God will sheild those that put their trust in him!!!"

My New Color!!

2008-05-26T22:09:00.003-04:00

At first I didn't like the new color. I thought it was too bright. What do you think?? Before and After!!! LOL Don't pay any mind to the junk... it's getting straightened out. LOL

Oh Yeah I put in a new fixture today. I really like the style of it. I can't wait until I get my new table!!! It's going to be complete then.

Thanks for looking... I'll be back!

Sorry I've been gone so long

2008-05-09T21:10:00.001-04:00

Hi All!!

Getting ready for the Baby Shower

2008-02-09T18:51:00.000-05:00

So, I'm getting ready for my bestfriends baby shower. I'm loving the cards. I know I did them myself but, I like the outcome. Sometimes I feel like I should tweek them but, they really reflect my work. I hope she like them. I must order the cake soon. March 29th will be here before you know it. I will be treking up to Michigan. I pray it's not cold. Here's the card.

I got some scrappin' done with my co-worker. We had a good time. I played a little disco for her and we scrapped. OMG she made this dip. It was so good. It was sausage, cream cheese and tomatoes. It was sooooooooo good. I'm going to make it. And, soon!

Until later.

Ok!

2008-02-07T20:45:00.002-05:00

I've missed typing and journaling. I haven't done it in a while. I have so many things that has happened but, nothing much really... I know that sounds funny!

At work so many things has changed but, for the better (so I think). No true drama and no real gossip.

I miss my nephew.

I miss my Mom and Dad. I haven't seen them in a while. I love them much.

I miss my friends in Michigan... I haven't seen them in a while. I will be there visiting at the end of March. I can't wait.

20 days Later and then I post!!!

2008-01-28T22:19:00.000-05:00

Here's looking at me Kid. Yeah I got a lot cut off on the 8th of Jan. I can't believe it took me so long to take and post a picture... I'm really slippin'. I didn't want this month to go out with not posting a picture of the "AFTER".

Before

2008-01-07T21:21:00.000-05:00

This is a picture of me before I get my hair cut. It's time. I need a change. You know times get hard and stress goes up... So, hair get's cut!!!
