Celebrated the BF's sister's birthday last night. Fearlessly rocked a pretty short, tight dress. I really should have taken pictures. We were a good looking group. I'm just sayin'.

My love for his family pretty much grows on a daily basis and I really feel like this is my family. (Someday) I was a little bummed that the kids decided not to join us, but there is always next time.

Favorite moments...again I wish I had taken pics...It is so not like me to not.

His cousin Erica asking me to come and sit next to her. Of course I'm going to anyway because she brought my most favorite people along with her. I love her kids, especially Kaylah. I love a sweet baby.

The BF taking Kaylah out of her car seat while making a comment about keeping her happy and quiet. I couldn't quote him, but it was a very daddy thing to say and not so secretly made me very happy.

The smile on his mom's face while she sliced up the cake. The simplest things make her happy. I love that.

The size of the steak he ordered...39oz. For real! It was the size of his head.

I am so thankful to have the time to just sit, in peace and quiet. To be able to rest and reflect. To actually see that there are still good things happening in my life.

I have a great job with awesome co-workers. I'm working hard and loving it. I'll love it even more when there is a paycheck attached to it.

I have an amazing, supportive boyfriend. He is my rock and refuge from the craziness that surrounds me from day to day. I am so blessed and happy to have him in my life.

I have two awesome kids, and while I don't get to see them any where near as much as I would like to, they bring so much happiness and laughter to my life.

My sweet Lulu is always there, just waiting. Tail wagging and so happy to see me.

I am always surprised by my ability to bounce back from the hard curves life throws my way. I really shouldn't be though. My faith is strong enough to move mountains, I am a daughter of the King.
