 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 ...

LIFE: The Thing I was Promised I Could Not Do

I feel like every post I make, I am finding more of my voice again. I never in my life felt like I would have a voice to share about some of the more body related posts that I have made, but here I am to share about another personal body part- lol! I realized I had not shared about my breast feeding journey and I feel like it is something that might help someone. So the journey starts on a very cold day in January 2018. As I have noted in previous blogs, I had a c-section which was not 100 percent my goal but 100 percent perfect in every way. I was told going into my c-section that it may take a little longer for my milk to fully come in but it was not going to be impossible. So when my little guy was able to join me in the room we would be in, we went to work. I was still very medicated and he made his wiggly way to the source. I knew not much was coming but he was happy at the end of each feeding attempt, but his blood sugar was low and the nurses wanted me to switch to formula and w...
