 I started my favorite month of the year with a sign that defines it all :
I was asked by HUGS to be a part of GIRL EXPO where the Girl Scouts of America were celebrating their 100th anniversary. I had tumble mats and allowed girls to do bridges, forward rolls, cartwheels and a few backhandsprings. I also got to do an expo class for a group of younger girls. 

October is my favorite month because it is my birth month as we have declared it in my house and this sly guy was able to surprise me with a mini party at Z'Tejas ( highly recommend) with his side of the family. I have always wanted to be surprised : ) I love this guy.
this year was my EPIC birthday- it was 10/11/12 and i made sure to eat breakfast and dinner at 8:09- I turned the age of a WHOLE box of candles
The day after my birthday I dyed my hair : ) new style for my new year of life. I also gave up french fries for the entire 24th year of my life- I am excited to see how that goes. I also got to go to WOMEN of FAITH the day after my birthday. (BLOG ABOUT IT TO FOLLOW_)


Mid October brought a funky day- half day for my after school girls and we decided to BLING it on and do manis while watching girly movies. Then that weekend I was honored to be a part of the JR Diabetes walk for HUGS. I had one lil gymnast and a cheerleader join me and people were wincing the whole time at their flexibility. 

Where the golf cart is located is the position of the start and finish line. I decided that I wanted to be pictured at the start -

Well thanks for following my October, i have some special events I will highlight but more blogging to come from this COLLEGE grad now that she has no more papers to write. 

peace, love and HUGS

LIFE: Camp

I have had an awful lot of un published blogs lately. These blogs come from deep routed feelings that have surfaced this year due to one thing or another. Maybe some day these blogs will be unearthed but for today, this blog needed to be written while it was still raw.  I have very vague memories of third or forth grade summer camp at Alto Frio, where I met Nana Pudding ( a christian puppet) and went pogging for the first time in a river. Summer after sixth grade,  I got in church vans and headed to Louisiana for the first time to attend Student Life Camp, then proceeded to go to Angelo State University and Glorieta New Mexico a few times. I spent time serving during spring breaks at Riverbend Retreat Center which lead to an internship over the summer. The week that "Curtis" and I first really got to know each other, we were at Glorieta for Centrifuge camp.  Camp is a special place for me. Camp is a happy place for me.  In 2018, I was able to experience camp through new eyes

LIFE: Processing the Unknown

In the 90's, television and books portrayed the family with 2.5 children and a house with a two car garage where dad worked outside of the home and mom had dinner ready in the evenings. The show would continue with grandma and grandpa popping in for a visit or a trip to their house.  My 90's family did not have this imagery- and that's okay. I grew up with divorced parents, and the parents I lived with full time both were from countries other than the US- meaning aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents all still lived in their respective native land. This meant that I did not necessarily have the same visitation schedule as families who all live in the same city, state, or country.  I know from pictures that the first time that my Nana ( my dads mom) Sheila, from England, came to visit was the spring after I was born. I have pictures of myself in a stroller with my Nana below the Tower of Americas. The next time I would get the opportunity to be with my grandmother was arou

REVIEW: You Can Do This by Tricia Lott Williford

Tricia and her book baby {necessary information} I received this book from the author as a part of the launch team for free. The opinions expressed in this blog are mine alone and not those of the author or publisher. {review: You Can Do This } Tricia is a clear and concise writer detailing some hurtful and raw points in her life. Through every chapter there is a reflection assignment to help you work through the tough spots in your life and find the confidence in Him to work through them. She sprinkles quotes from strong famous people, as well as strong Biblical truths. In chapter 5 she reminds you that the comment section does not have the right to get you down. On page 62, Tricias therapist reminds us that, " Everybody has a chapter of their life they don't read out loud." She introduced me to 6 word stories- which I am very excited to give a try. In chapter 9 she introduces us to her second love story. "No for now isn't no forever"!!!! Every cha
