Cancer Sucks.. Bryson Rocks..


There is no words that would describe the feeling you get when you hear that your child has "Cancer". Im sure your Heart would sink to your stomach. Well for my friend, Stephanie Watkins, it has happened to her. Stephanie has a 2 year old son named Bryson, who was diagnosed with Leukemia as a baby. This little boy is a fighter. He has just finished his Chemo treatment and had his Stem Cell Transplant.
Even when he's feeling his worst he tries his best. I have yet to meet Bryson,but I have seen pictures of him. When you look at him you know your looking at the most precious angel ever. I pray for little Bryson and his family every night. Stephanie has been through so much with him and it must be so hard knowing theres only so much you can do to try and help your baby. She is very strong for Bryson. I coudlnt even imagine how I would be able to deal with it all. But the main thing you have to do is Fully Rely on God. He is your #1 key. Power of prayer is whats making this family survive this hard time.
*I pray to God every night that he keeps my children safe through their lives. Losing my kids is the biggest fear of my life. No parent shoudld ever have to lose their children or have to deal with such a huge situation like this.But for some reason God has his plan and he chose Bryson to be his little fighter. He will beat this and when its all over there will be so much praise and happiness in this familys life.*
They have created a Facebook page for Bryson along with a website.*BRYSONROCKS.COM*
It has his story, pictures,videos and ways to help donate. Last night Chilis Southpoint did a 10% Give back night to Bryson. We attended to show our support for their family. Steph is not able to work due to Bryson being kept at the TX Childrens
Hospital in the Med Center. So this was going to help them with their financial situation. I have always been a big supporter of St. Judes since I worked with Chilis, so this also was a big deal for me. I posted as much as I could to get people to go out there.I cant wait to hear how much they actually had raised for the night.
We also bought our "Cancer Sucks..Bryson Rocks" bracelets.. We love em...

If you would like to purchase one you can do so on his website. They have all the information on everything that is going on.
Their also having another donation event on Saturday the 28 at the Krogers parking lot on the Beltway in Sagemont. It will be from 10am to 4pm. So anyone reading who lives in our area, I highly encourage you to come show your support. We will be attending as well. I pray that Bryson and his family overcome this bump in the road that they are going through. Please become a fan of Bryson and show your support..
God Bless this sweet Angel...

Nanny turns 90.....


90 years ago my Great Grandmother was born in the Netherlands.. 26 years ago I was brought into this world and she was there to hold me and know the joy of becoming a GREAT Grandmother.. My NANNY! She is the most beautiful person inside and out. She celebrated her 90th birthday yesterday with family and friends. I thought when we celebrated her 80th,"Wow". After celebrating yesterday its just so GREAT! She has seen so much in this life and it amazes me how strong she still is. She lives on her own and loves to watch Wrestling on Payperview every Mon and Sun nite. Watching her eyes fill with tears as we sang Happy Birthday to her brought joy to my heart and tears down my face. I hugged her and she whispered to me" THank you, I love you sweetie,THank you thank you for making me a GREAT GREAT Grandmother to my beautiful babies, I love you!" Those words will forever play in my head. This was a moment I will forever hold in my heart. The joy of her saying this to me was like giving birth to my children all over again. Life is so precious and she takes it that way.She would never turn anyone away. She welcomes strangers with open arms. Every person she meets is like she has known them forever.How do we get so lucky to be blessed with people like her in our lives? She is truly an Angel sent from God. I hope I live to be at least half the woman she is and give all the love she has to her family and friends. She is so loved by everyone.
As I walked into her house yesterday I was ovewhelmed with how many flowers and cards she had recieved. Dozens of flowers everywhere and cards lined up all over walls and shelves. Everyday she has atleast 1 visitor. Thats how loved she is. Everyone wants to be around her. I wish I had more time to see her and I will make it now. Time is so precious and I will forever treasure this time I have with her. I hope to see another 10 years and watch her blow out that 100 candle.:) Happy Birthday Nanny.. I love you!

Lets try this again....

So I started this Jillian Michaels workout programs a few weeks back. I was doing really good on it until my dumb knee decided to give out on me again and put me behind. Right now I weigh about 130..Well the last time I checked.. My goal is to get around 120 again. I have got to target this extra baby fat in my belly and this nasty cellulite that has built up in my legs. EEkk gross I know... Im only 25 and I dont wanna let myself go. So Im going to try to do it this time. On Monday I picked up this Jillian Michaels 14 day Cleanse and Program pills. So far so good. 2 caplets in the morning and 2 in the evening with water for 7 days. Then you go to the Fat burning pills. Im going to start running ( hopefully) and more sit ups. Maybe that will pick up the process. I feel less bloated taking these and my jeans actually fit better today. This is day 3 so far. I think having that food poisoning helped me shed a few too.. hahah... I hope..

But we will see how this goes.. I will try my hardest to keep up with this.. Wish me luck and we will see how far I go... I feel its working and I recommend it. It comes with a money back guarantee if you feel it doesnt work.. Wont hurt to try and maybe shed a few..

Lets try this again......

My New Camera...Finally

So Daniel finally caved in and got me a nice DSLR camera.. A Sony! I love it.. I have waited forever to get one.. So worth it.. We got it right before we left to our trip to Sea World. I have always loved photography. I took a class in high school and my dream was that after high school Jennifer Muniz and I would move to New York. She wanted to do Fashin Design and I was gonna be the Photographer. Well it didnt work that way. I got Hailey instead. LoL. Which that worked for me . Her and J are now my little models. I love taking pictures of them and any other times that can capture a great memory. I m going to try and learn a little more on how to work it a little more. I would like to get a good photoshop program too. It will all work our later. Im still deciding if I am going to go to school for Web Design or not, so maybe this will point me in my direction in some sort of way. Im hoping. But for now this is all for the fun and memories...
Here's a few pics I have taken with the camera.. Did some photoshopping with Photobucket since its all I got for now.. So Enjoy!!
