Ipod touch

If you know me, you know how much I love music, I love listening to music, I played the piano for 10 years and I sing in the choir at my church. I enjoy all kinds of music. I have an ipod nano,but I wanted ipod touch for Christmas and Santa brought me one, many people that I know also received one for Christmas. It is absolutely awesome! It plays music without having any earphones, you can put your photos on it, it has internet capabilities ( if you have wifi) and has a calander and I'm sure many more advantages to it than I have yet to discover. Thank you mom and Dad for my ipod!

A Party in the U.S.A.

This is a picture of me and My B.F.F. Madison today at Michael's we we're just goofing off. We thought these boa's were very pretty if only we had somewhere to wear them. LOL. It makes me think of Party in the U.S.A. Have fun and enjoy life and be happy in the small things. Life is such a gift and I've been so blessed even though it's not always easy. Let your hair down and have some fun! Most importantly spend time with God and those you love the most!

This is a picture of Bear Bryant's booth

The Bright Star restaurant

This is a picture of My favorite Brother John and I outside of The Bright Star restaurant located in Bessemer, Alabama.I was very concerned when my brother said we were going to a greek style restaurant, if you know me at all you know I'm very picky about my food, but to my suprise The Bright Star was fabulous! We both had beef tips greek style, I had fried green tomatoes and cabbage and dressing! We split a peanut butter pie for dessert. It's also very resonably priced. It's in Alabama's top ten places to eat! I know my friend Beth and her mom Mrs. April who are big Alabama fans will be delighted to hear Bear Bryant used to eat at the Bright Star when he was alive he even had his own booth and they still have his booth there with Alabama memorabilia. I can't wait to go back to The Bright star if your ever in the Birmingham area you will definately have to check this place out, you won't be disappointed.

Merry Christmas!

I can't believe it's that time of the year again already! I love Christmas, but we just get so busy and preoccupied that we forget the true meaning of Christmas which is Jesus. Without Jesus being born he could have never died for us so we could live eternally forever with him! We should also spend time with the people we love all year long and not just Christmas. I hope you all have a very blessed and Merry Christmas, and take time to remember and celebrate the true reason for Christmas! This is a picture of Robin and I taken last night at the Christmas gathering at my mawmaw's house. I went to a wonderful Church service at St. Mark United Methodist with my amazing church family and then I spend Christmas with my moms side of the family.

From the heart - Let it Go

Today I did something very important for myself just God and I. I've been thinking about it a lot this week and some very dear people pointed it out to me. I guard my heart and I'm live in such fear of being hurt by people as I have been hurt in the past. I'm so afraid of being hurt again, that I punish other people that love me and care about me. I've just lived in this fear. Today I let it all go. I got a balloon, a sharpie, my bible and journal and I went to a quiet place on our property, I wrote everyone's name on the balloon that had hurt me in the past, I prayed for them. And I let the balloon go, and when that balloon I let go of that hurt. There is no condemnation to him who is in Christ. I know God has his hand on me so I will not live life in fear. I'm going to love people and be more open to people. I'm letting Go and letting God. He has his hand over my life and my relationships. I hope you will let go of your past hurts, and find freedom in Christ.

I even had time to go christmas shopping

I even had time to go Christmas shopping for my favorite people, within an hour, I had Mrs. Carole, Mrs. Pam, My best friend Madison something and my mom. I just wanted to get in and out. Christmas shopping can be stressful it's hard to know what to get people. It was a tough decision on what to even get my best friend. I'm glad that is over. Now tommorow I'm going to help my best friend find something for her mom for her birthday. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Some pictures of the before and after of the tree

Although I'm not so sure about all of this. I did the best I could, that tree is a beast to put together, Do you understand this? I still need to put a bow or something at the top of it.

the A, B, C, Christmas Tree

My mom is in Birmingham visiting my brother and sister in law and niece and nephew. As you may know I have been sick at home all week with a sinus infection, so I've been taking it easy. My mom has called 50 times worried about a christmas tree she wants a new one since our's is so complicated to put up, which I can't too much blame her, but I see nothing wrong with our tree, other than it's a pain to put up, but I decided today that I felt well enough to take up the challange, here it is, me starting it. I drug it from the garage to the backyard and brought it in piece by piece.

This is a picture of my pawpaw and mawmaw at there 50th wedding anniversary. I believe this was in 2002. Each mans life touches so many other lives and when he isn't around it leaves an aweful hole - from the angel clarence on it's a wonderful life.

Some Past Memories

This is a picture that was taken of my mawmaw and pawpaw and me, I believe it was taken around Easter time, I must have been about 12. I miss my pawpaw so much. Thank you pawpaw for being such a wonderful Christian Example for loving me so much and always defending me and being on myside. I will always love you and will never forget you and no one can ever take your place ever! Thank you God for sending this man to be my pawpaw.

Thanksgiving with the family.

This is me at Thanksgiving at my mawmaw"s. I really missed my pawpaw a lot this year, even though he's been with Jesus for 6 years now, It isn't any easier. I missed my family in California terribly, especially my Aunt Marlene. And on top of everything I was sick with a sinus infection. However I learned in everything to be Thankful. God has blessed me so much this year, with a new awesome church family and some awesome people in my life. No matter what your going through this year Remember God is faithful and will bring you through.

Happy Thanksgiving!

At Thanksgiving time, I think of how much God has blessed me this whole year and I have so much to be Thankful for! Here's a few people and things I'm thankful for, Jesus dying on the cross for me,Mrs. Carole, Mrs. Pam, Kellie, Kim T., Madison, Maryanne. My wonderful church family at St. Mark United Methodist. My job, My Freedom, Aunt Marlene, My wonderful brother John.My pawpaw who has now gone to be with the Lord My health and so much more. Share with me what your thankful for this Thanksgiving. I hope you all have a safe and Happy holiday.

Life VS. Golf

When I think of golf, I can't help but think of life. In life we are the golfer , the ball is our choices and the flag represents Jesus. The goal of life is to keep your focus of your goal which is Jesus also the flag. While keeping your eyes on the ball which is your choices. We try to make the right choices in llife, but sometimes we take our focus off the flag and eye off the ball and we hit an out of bounds. In golf your only allowed to call a mulligan on the first tee and the mulligan isn't even in the official rules of golf. God believes in mulligans even if there people in this world that don't. God is all about mulligans and will give us as many as we need. God giving us another chance to make the right choice is all that matters.

Believe God

Sometimes things happen in our lives to mold us. They are painful at the time and we can't always see the big picture, but God can. As I was talking to a precious lady from church tonight who said God is faithful. I needed to be reminded of that because I had forgotten where God had brought me from. It's easy to believe God when things are going great in our lives, but it's in the tough times believing God is the challange. That's when I head to the golf course, there is just something about being on the green. I can be playing in a crowd and it feels like it's just God and I. It's something magical. Some may never understand I just feel closer to God there.
