Happy New Year!



I'm not one for making New Year's resolutions. I understand why people make them -- the beginning of a new year makes for a convenient time to start something new or make a change (just like a student plans at the beginning of the new school year to make it the best school year ever). All that to say, 2014 was a lot about me and my transformation -- completely unplanned, but amazing. Now, I want 2015 to be about other people. God has blessed me in amazing ways this past year and taught me so much and I want to reach other people this coming year and help to transform their lives. (Ive got some cool ideas in my head that I hope I can pull off.)



I want to help people learn how to make healthier choices.
I want to help people learn more about essential oils and their amazing benefits.
I want to help people learn how to eat correctly and supplement...and create a healthy lifestyle from the inside out.
I want to help people get the "crud" out of their systems and their environment.
Most importantly, I want people to see Jesus through me and be drawn by his love and grace.

I would also like to be able to pee alone. ;)

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for an amazing 2014. I can't wait to see what's next in 2015! Happy New Year!

Forgiven and Free

I've come to the revelation that I don't love people (other than my family, which I love fiercely). I'm not trying to be funny and I'm not being mean. I care for people and I genuinely show love and care, but deep down in my sinful, deprived soul, I don't truly love people. Let me explain... I've been hurt a lot by friendships. Numerous times I have let my guard down and tried to be real, just to have those people walk away from me for no reason. So I've put up walls and guarded my heart. I'll share only what is safe, but I struggle to be vulnerable and real. Years ago I went to counseling to help me with being more vulnerable (and my perfectionist nature). I grew a lot and after about a year, I connected with my future husband and allowed my walls to come down. I praise the Lord for him and allowing me to be real. My husband is a gift from God, but I still struggle with my female friendships. Guy friendships always seem to be easier to me. Maybe it ...

We Have a Date!

The wedding date is set: Friday, March 2. I've already booked our church, our pastor, and the reception hall. Whew. I've been busy. Luckily, I already knew where I wanted the reception to be held and since I'm doing a Friday evening, it was easier to book the reception hall. My mom, Kara (my sister and matron-of-honor), and I are looking at dresses this Saturday. How fun! I already found one that I REALLY like online at David's Bridal. So, we are heading there first on Saturday. Jess bought me a wedding planning book -- wow! I had no idea that there were so many things to do! Plus, most people start almost a year in advance and I'm doing it in six months. Oh well. The work is well worth the short wait. So, how am I doing with posting so far? Look, Amanda, two blogs in one week! You must be proud of me. Still no pictures as Walter has been out of town and I don't have a camera. Hopefully, I will have some for you soon.

You asked for it, you got it!

Per Amanda's request...my "Dancing With the Stars" update. After this first week, here is my opinion. Brooke Burke is by far the best dancer and the most natural of anyone -- plus, she's really sweet. I love how she danced with her baby. :) I think Toni Braxton does a great job as well. I don't really care for Kim K. and think she should have been voted off yesterday. I mean, come on, she's not a good dancer. I don't think she'll go far. Ted McKinley wasn't great, but he shouldn't have gone off yet. He actually did better than some other people. Okay, gotta admit people, I know that everyone enjoys watching an 82-year-old Cloris Leachman "dance," but she isn't any good. Yes, there is some grace shown toward her because of her age, but it's a bummer to watch other people who are better get voted off simply to keep watching her. (On a side note, I think it's so cool that Mark's dad, Corky, is another one of the professio...
