In the city | The tale of a stolen camera
I took a vacation {Screams, dances, shouts} Last week, I had the pleasure of vacationing in the great state of New York. I stepped out in the city to enjoy the sun. My husband stole my camera (tee, hee) and took this shot of me. I’m pleased to share it with you. Kudos Mr.

Happy Father's Day
Today is the day we celebrate the men and women who have taken on a fatherly role in our lives.
We salute you with gifts like grills, ties, and steak dinners, but we also show our appreciation for the little things you do. Those little things add up to be such big memories- how to change a tire, our first date, or the last kiss before we walk down the aisle.
Today, I wish my mother Anita, A Happy Father's Day, the allthough I have a dad, the duel job you've done for the past 10+ years has been amazing. You took on the double role with grace and style like no other.
I praise God for sending me a mom, and a father like you.
To all the Father's (in whatever capacity that may be) Enjoy today. It's all about you. Thank you.

Shot of the Week
It's the W-E-E-K-E-N-D! We made it!
I had the opportunity to take my sisters Senior pictures this week, which was an amazing experience. I am truly amazed how this beautiful, smart talented person- was once a little girl who used to follow me around hanging on my heels. My sister has grown up to be fine a young lady. Time fiies! Enough of my babbling; I feel the tears forming. Check out my shot of the week.

5 Things that make me smile:
1) Waking up and realizing that it's Saturday and I have the day off.
2) Rolling over to my husband's warm side of the bed, when he leaves for work.
3) Brunch.. I'm fond of egg white omlette's with spinach and bacon.
4) New shoes
5) The smell of clean clothes coming out of the dryer.

I've been dealing with a lot emotions about where I want to go and what I want to do with my life when I grow up, and then someone sent me this and I had to share.
I hope it blesses you like it did me.
The next time you feel like GOD can't use you, just remember...
Noah was a drunk
Abraham was too old
Isaac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem
Gideon was afraid
Sampson had long hair and was a womanizer
Rahab was a prostitute
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David had an affair and was a murderer
Elijah was suicidal
Isaiah preached naked
Jonah ran from God
Naomi was a widow
Job went bankrupt
John the Baptist ate bugs
Peter denied Christ
The Disciples fell asleep while praying
Martha worried about everything
The Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once
Zaccheus was too small
Paul was too religious
Timothy had an ulcer...AND
Lazarus was dead!
No more excuses now!! God can use you to your full potential.

Praise Report
Happy Saturday folks!
I have AWESOME news to share. I had my first check-in for the '10 with my Endocrinologist (Diabetes Doc) yesterday, and I must say, it was the best check-in I have ever had. I started out by getting weighed, and I've lost some weight, Yay! Then I went over my medication update with him, he uploaded my Glucose meter into their system to chart my levels for the last 3 months, and finally he administered my 3 month A1C test (This test measures the level of sugar in your blood over the last 3 months) Normal A1C should be at a 6 or below.
When I was diagnosed in June of '09 my A1c was 11.8! (Just AWFUL) My last appointment was in October of '09, and my A1C was a 7.4.
After waiting what seemed like forever (10 minutes) I received my results. My A1C had dropped again to a 6.2!! WHOOP-WHOOP!! I literally jumped for joy in the doctors office. My doctor was impressed with how fast I was able to get my numbers down with medication, exercise(very little on my part), and diet changes.
After a review of my numbers, my doctor thought that I would be able to maintain healthy blood sugar levels with out the help of medications! (Over the past week, I refrained from taking my medication to see what my levels were without it and they were normal. I let my doctor know what I thought, and the results, and thought I had done a great job. At this time, I do have to monitor my levels, but only 3 times a week vs 3 times a day. My doctor did write a prescription for me, just in case my levels get out of wack.
Take that Diabetes!! I am excited about my news, but I know that this is where the real work starts. Without the meds, I will have to really watch what I eat, and exercise much more (my least favorite thing in the world) and remember to keep stress at bay.
Laters!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Good Morning, and Happy Thanksgiving you to and yours!
Today I am thankful for my life. Things may seem bad or not the way I would want them, but in reality someone didn't wake up this morning. That someone could have been me. I'm thankful for the wonderful husband God sent me. I know there are times when I drive him crazy, and he doesn't know what to do with me, but I'm thankful for him, and I'm so thankful to be his wife. I am also the loving friends and family that are in my life. I believe that my friends (online & offline) are my angels here on earth. The support and love of my family is truly a blessing, and I'm glad to my family is MY family. Lastly, I am thankful that I am safe, on the road to a healthier life, and happy, not many people can say that they are happy in these trying times. Life may not always be what we hoped for, but it is life and life is what YOU make it.
Happy Thanksgiving, and Be blessed!
