 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 ...

REVIEW: Gratitude: A Prayer and Praise Coloring Journal

{necessary information} I received this book as a try-me from Tyndale Publishers and the opinions expressed in this blog are mine alone and not those of the author or publisher {transparency of blogger} I have worked for preschools and coaching facilities and as a babysitter for most of my life. Sometimes you have an extra coloring sheet laying around while the kids are babysitting ( and sometimes it was on purpose) so you have to sit down with the kids and use the best crayons or color pencils available to color the extra page. Okay, okay, I love to color. There is something therapeutic to coloring.  { review Gratitude} I love all things girly, so the fact that this book came with a flowery firm cover- I was giddy. Then you open up to devotion surrounded with black and white images crying to be colored- I was over the moon. After I read the devotional there is room to journal through my thoughts, taking coloring breaks. I highly reccomend this book for all ages and would b...

love is patient and kind

There is a point in your life when you have to accept that your plan for your family( brothers, sisters, moms and dads) and friends is not your own. I grew up in a family where if I had not accepted their changes, I would not have family and would have grown up sad and alone. I grew up in a family where they did not attend church, so they knew that I was not happy about their changes but I still loved them and prayed for them endlessly. I do not have to agree with people or be uplifted by someone to show them Gods love though loving them. God loves us even when we endlessly try to walk away by sinning. These people may not be doing what God wanted for them but it is not our place to throw it in their faces, once we tell them- we pray for them and keep loving them.
