My Family

Here is what drives me the most crazy, makes me the most nervous, gets me the most upset, drives my temper up the wall, but here is what i love, what my heart is devoted to, and here are the people who are my people. Glad to know them :)

This is my mother. We are so alike its un-real. 

We both love books, flowers, dissecting issues, old-time movies and hate movie trailers. 

Hokay. This is daddy with a shaved face (only picture of him w/o a beard since I was born). 

He looks weird! But he is wise, loves to golf, and is OBSESSED with the Georgia Bulldogs.

My sisser. She is the sweetest, funniest, and craziest. She is willing to try my patience,

and willing to take my temper too. I love her, and appreciate who she is.

This is me and Clifford. or Cwifford. or Ford. or precious baby, baby boy, sweet boy. 

Needless to say, I have lots of pet names for my pet. 

My sisser and I on christmas. Thats arnold, the Teddy I made her so she could remember me all the time :) Arnold because he has a football head. 

This is Clifford in his favorite outfit. (and only outfit).

He gets mad when we try to take it off.

He is THAT dog. We are NOT that family. 

Okay.. maybe we are. 

This is my cousin James wearing my lobster boxers. We had to change into comfy and dry clothes after playing in the ice that christmas.

This is my Big Daddy. He is married to Granna Lee and they are the sweetest and love so well.

Big daddy always wears overalls. Maybe 1 time a year he doesnt. Love it.

Sami and Daddy cheesin it

This picture of my Mom and Daddy reminds me of James Bond. They look so serious. At least mom does...Daddy doesn't have a serious bone in his body.

This is me and my cousin Sidney eating yummy chocolate balls! She is so goofy!

After graduation, or something for graduation. Sami, Me, and My amazing cousin Taylor. LOVE her.

This is my Grandma. She lives next door and I absolutely love her style. She has a million flowered hats.

She accompanied me while I jumped out of an air plane.

My Tay! I cannot tell you how much I adore her!

So this is some of my family... we love each other and put up with each other. And through everything thats happened with us, were a hard bunch to separate! 

Thankful

I feel the need to write down all the things i'm thankful for... the past few days have been rough on my heart for multiple reasons. A few being, my big mouth gets me into trouble, I have ignored Jesus (Seriously.. how did I manage to ignore my first and foremost person?), and some times relationships don't work out but it's for the better!

BUT...

Lately my family has mended and been getting together so well! I am so thankful for this... tis been a big petition to God. And see, He worked in my heart to where the bitterness receded and I was able to be sweet and generous instead of waiting for them... and it feels so good!

     Am I obviously thankful for my friends? My job, school, and family have been first before you guys (at least it's not drugs, shopping, or sports right?) and I miss you! So much! I am thankful for my friends from high school, Taylor, Blaze, Lauren, Erine-Fay, Ashton, Megan and some friends I didn't know as well but still you are dear to me!
     Shout out to my new girls, Tracy Jo, Kelly, Taylor R. (who has actually been my cousin for my whole life but we're just now friends), Lauren S, Ensley, Amanda, Rhiannon, Maryam (My awesome roomie!), and Stacers!
     There have been a couple of friends who  have stuck around since middle school like Sarah Jo and Arianah and we have had some crazy, and boy do I mean crazy times. Heck we went to six flags dressed up as super heros, ie The Bibleteers. haha oh man. I was bird girl, Jo was BUNNY girl hahaha and Arianah was Fish girl. we had masks and a pillow case cape and everything! What a blast! We have been on beach trips and gotton in trouble together, snuck out of our houses together.. scratch that just my house, and made messes together! ( messes of our lives, rooms, ext.)
     I moved around a lot and have never really had core friends so each and every one of you mean the world to me!! My prayers revolved around you being in my life for years so every one of you, whether you have been in my life for one season or many you are answered prayers and have inspired, helped improved me, been my confidants, my shoulders, my dance partiers, but most importantly, lovers (in the friendly sense) and will forever be my soul sisters! (Hey soul sister, aint that mister mister on the radio, stereo.. you know you're singing!)

     Just for your information, because I tried it, Grape powerade and peanut butter does not go together. YOU should be thankful for the heads up.


     Those two are the most important on my list of thankfulness right now, also i'm tired of blogging. I just cycled for 45 min and it was hard core and awesome! Im thankful for working legs! So gotta get ready for work!!

     If any of you have any crazy memories of us youre more than welcome to comment!

lastly but not leastly, loves yas!
