Halloween Recap!

Halloween was pretty calm this year. Me & J.D went over to a friends house to spend some time with them. We spent the evening carving a pumpkin, making pumpkin seeds and watching scary movies. Im thinking next year possibly dressing up? In the mean time here is the final product of our punkin :)

 He only let me cut the hole in the top and the eyes but i must say he did a way better job than i could of done!

This is what moving on looks like.....

Its been a few months since the divorce and i have finally met that person to put that beat back in my heart.

Life is Good.

Fall Is Coming Fast!

I'm so excited that fall is almost here! They have started bringing out all the fall scents, coffee drinks, decorations etc. Its my favorite time of the year. This year is going to extra special because Ryan finally has his career going and things are looking a lot better than last year. I've decided that this fall/winter im going to try a slight style change....last year it was hoodies and short sleeve shirts with whatever shoes....this year im thinking a little more put together with sweaters, boots, flats, a pea coat, and scarves which means shopping (one of my favorite past times). To kick off the fall shopping my mom order me this adorable pair of boots for only $24.99 fount here. (i cant post a picture right now but the link should take you straight to them)

They also have some adorable sweaters that are on my wish list this fall. With fall coming in that means the start of pumpkin patches, corn mazes etc and I've decided this year i want to try some of that. I'm getting excited just thinking about everything that is coming up its going to be great :)

Prayers For H & D

A blogger i love to follow and read about every day just gave birth to her little boy. He is only 28 weeks old, he is in NICU right now and will be for a while but the doctors say he is doing very well. You can read his story over at Live. Laugh. Love. We are praying for you Brayden, keep strong for mommy and daddy.

A Long Wait Lead To A Finished Process

This weekend has been pretty nerve racking for us all since sometime this week we will find out if Crystal is in remission from the Hodgkins Of The Lymphatic System. Last time we went for her chemo her doctor said all signs of it in her neck were gone and that he thinks the rest might be gone but he wont know for sure until she gets a cat scan done which will be sometime this week hopefully. Please keep us in your prayers as we go along this journey. If she is in remission she will only need 2 more chemo sessions to make sure she stays in remission and will only need follow up visits to make sure it stays gone. In somewhat of a celebration we finally finished my tattoos. She started them november of last year on thanksgiving and they were put on hold when we got the cancer news. 9 months later they are finally finished plus one. Im so glad that she was able to finish them and add the new one. It has even more of a special meaning now.

Curly Hair Check!

I think i finally mastered curling my hair with a curling iron! let me know what you think!

White Chocolate Cake Success!

I fount this recipe in a southern living cookbook i had checked out from the library a couple weeks ago and finally decided to make it. Ill just say that the first one didn't work out to well but i did a lot of things wrong and had to try other stuff. At last i finally got it right and it turned out perfect! Ill post the after picture with the frosting but my uncle mark decided to help me get it "unstuck" and it kind of crumbled on one side so ill post the before picture too so you can see. All and all it didn't turn out that bad except for running out of frosting.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup chopped bakers (bakers brand) white chocolate

1 cup butter, softened

1 ½ cups sugar

4 large eggs, separated

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 ½ cups shifted self rising flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 cup buttermilk

Directions:

Microwave chocolate in a glass bowl on HIGH 45 seconds or until melted. Beat the butter and sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Add egg yolks, 1 at a time, beat well after each addition. Add melted white chocolate and vanilla.

Sift flour and baking soda together; add to butter mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat egg whites at high speed until peaks form. Gently fold beaten egg whites into batter. Pour batter into 3 greased 9-inch round cake pans.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes; remove from pans, and cool completely on wire racks. Spread frosting in-between layers and on top and sides of cake. Garnish, if desired. 

Just a side note: i used the whipped cream cheese frosting and it turned out delicious!

My Favorite New Accessory!

Im a big accessory person, i love handbags, wallets, jewelry etc. It drives ryan nuts how im constantly changing things but i wouldn't be me if i didn't : )


Here lately ive been on a scavenger hunt for an adorable wallet and have been coming up empty handed. Today me and my sister decided we were going to go to rue 21 and check out their clothes and etc. When i walked up to the checkout counter thats where i seen it. I fell in love! The great thing about it is you can use it by itself too.

I also got three (yes i said three) pairs of jeans for $3 each from the clearance rack and two tube tops that were only $3 (the wallet was $5 since i bought my sister one too). My sister was also about to pick up a couple shirts for $3. The best part is since ga isn't doing their tax free week (not fair!) rue decided they were going to take an additional 10% off the entire store including clearance and sale items! We got $112 worth of stuff for $45! I love bargain shopping!
