I'm still alive!

Hi everyone, just wanted to give a quick update on our life right now. Me and my fiance split up back in May, so I moved back home to Georgia to live with my family. Me & Rueben are happy, and I work, go to school, and am the sole provider for him as of now. I have a new man in my life who makes both of us very happy, his name is Patrick :) I had a lot of scars from the past 5 years, but I am finally starting to work through them. I hope to start posting more often, and really cannot wait to get some of my crafts posted (whenever I can work on them again!).

just a little message...

Disasters

I can't keep my eyes off the screen from watching videos of the damage, and actual tornadoes, from last night's storm. I am clear across the country, but almost my entire family is in Georgia. Thankfully, they are in Southeast GA, so they are all okay, with just strong winds & rain. It breaks my heart to see all the damage, and to watch the death/injury tolls rise. The videos of the tornadoes themselves are terrifying. Please keep the families affected by these storms in your thoughts, prayers, and hearts as everyone copes with loss of homes, belongings, and most importantly, loved ones.

This is the page that I most recently read.. the last video has the most information, the first 2 are videos of the hurricanes. http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/20110428/ts_yblog_thelookout/watch-tuscaloosas-terrifying-tornado

5 Question Friday!!

1. What is your favorite Easter tradition?

Dying eggs & spending time with family :)

2. Are you a "shower" or a "long, hot bath" kind of person?

ahh,... the days of long, hot baths!! I would most definitely love a long hot bath, but alas, between my 2 year old trying to climb in with me, and being way to tall for a normal tub (I feel scrunched!) I don't take baths very often!

3. Can you parallel park and if so when is the last time you did it?

The last time I paralleled parked was almost 4 years ago when I got my license... and I aced it--100!! :) Not that I could do it now though.... 

4. What is your favorite Easter candy?

I don't really have a favorite, but I love anything with creamy chocolate (not hard-melt it if you have to!) or soft caramel!

5. Easter: do you go all out with the Easter Bunny or focus on the religious part of the holiday?

When I was younger & lived close to my family, we went all out on both aspects, special dresses, church with the whole family, huge dinner at my great-grandma's, special baskets, candy, egg hunts, family pics, etc. But now that we live 1700 miles from pretty much everyone we know, we're staying home!
