<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Hi guys!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">A little while back I did a poll on my Twitter about blogging....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVUTfboB7pp0QmlyA3u6A-SJcxB1TE82hyphenhyphen3a6X_xowH_Usa0saK0zhH320dGnzYdAa43GC2gkYu0yXeBx9957dlwMo2k_jyYjeHFQWwkIf50l51pp-Oj2W7uvrTCqQ_oGX9G_piqtaYnY/s1600/FullSizeRender.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="343" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVUTfboB7pp0QmlyA3u6A-SJcxB1TE82hyphenhyphen3a6X_xowH_Usa0saK0zhH320dGnzYdAa43GC2gkYu0yXeBx9957dlwMo2k_jyYjeHFQWwkIf50l51pp-Oj2W7uvrTCqQ_oGX9G_piqtaYnY/s400/FullSizeRender.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I giggled at the results because I personally think that the blogging world</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">is special to bloggers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Just like Twitter is special to Tweeters and Instagram is special </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">to Instagrammers etc. etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The reason I don't blog very much is because it takes me FOREVER to do a post. Getting my thoughts together, writing it out, rewriting it where I think it may make more sense, finding pictures, editing the pictures.... and I'm just slow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But I love blogging, the blogging world and the friends that </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I have made through blogging.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So I wanted to do an update post because so far our 2017 has been full of changes!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In January, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed, defeated and just kinda lost.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I would look around at how I was living my life and think...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">is this it?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Is this how I'm going to spend my short life here on </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Earth</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I KNOW that the good Lord doesn't want me to just be going from event, to job, to game, to home, to this and that in just a big blur. There's got to be more ...and by more I really mean LESS!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I needed less in my life. My life was too full of events and commitments and so on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I wanted to be able to enjoy my life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">...and in January I was not enjoying my daily life AT ALL!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I knew that it was time to make some changes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I decided that I wanted my life to become intentional. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I wanted to simplify.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I wanted to return to the times where I didn't let stress and busyness rule my world.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I am more than those things. They will not define me anymore.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I am also more than my work and my degrees.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Jesus was about people and loving others.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I want to become better at that. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">You, just like me, have your own story and your own reasons why you are busy, sad, mad, stressed.... I want to not just hear your stories, but to really listen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I may not get to say hello to everyone in this small little town, but the ones that I do come in contact with... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I want them to know that I care.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>I want my hello to be heartfelt.</b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">--------------------</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The first area of my life I started examining was my full-time job.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It's a little crazy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">For confidentiality purposes... I won't go too much into this.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">On my daily drives... I would just think... what am I doing?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I have X amount of things to do in X amount of time and I am not doing </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">ANY of them well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I was my biggest critic.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I wanted to make everyone happy, but at times it seemed IMPOSSIBLE.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">For now, I'm leaving this area in God's hands and </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I will praise in Him the waiting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><i>The in-between,</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><i>the meantime, </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><i>the waiting, </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><i>the becoming can be frustrating. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><i>But God's timetable</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><i> is always better than ours.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">--------------------</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The second area I examined was our home life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I am a chronic declutterer...and seem to never get ahead.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The kids' rooms were the bane of my existence....just so much stuff and they weren't playing with any of it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">One weekend while the big kids were staying at their dad's.... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I went to work.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I removed EVERYTHING from their bedrooms except the few toys that I KNOW that they actually played with.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This is what was left:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Olivia == Art Stuff, Dolls, Books</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Jonah == Legos, Playstation, Books</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Olivia announced earlier this year that she was done with Barbies.. . so sad .</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So I moved those out, but I left her baby dolls.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">She did tell me last night that she no longer wants to play </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">with them either. {Sigh}</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Goodness...I can't believe Junior High is next year!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I packed up so many trash bags of stuff...if my mom saw them </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">she might have passed out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I was worried when they came home that Sunday they </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">would freak out. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So I waited....they went upstairs and I heard no complaints! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Instead they stayed upstairs in their rooms playing for the next couple of hours.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I was in shock and I was elated!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I hope to continue this with the other rooms in our home.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The third area I looked at was my health.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I have gained quite a bit of weight over the past 5 years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I am the Queen of Excuses.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">and mostly the Queen of Sleep if I can get it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">A friend of mine started using and selling a weight loss product and she was having great results so I thought why not?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It's more than just the supplements though... it's been a lifestyle change, especially</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> in how we eat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Fortunately, Jason decided to do this with me. It has been so easy and great to do this with him because we have held each other accountable and I've finally </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">shed some pounds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">As of yesterday, he is at his goal weight! I'm so proud of him!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">He never complained. Not once.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I have lost 9 pounds and 12.5 inches.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I'm happy that I'm losing it slowly....and continuously losing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I don't want to go back to how I was eating...but Jason and I do have some plans to make some other healthy changes in </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">our near future.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">-------------------</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The next area I began looking at...was just how we were living our lives in general.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I love the idea of living a simple life and of enjoying the treasures that God put on this Earth for us. I also like the thought of taking care of this world and living </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">in a way that is non-toxic.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Over the course of the past year... I have been slowly trying to make some positive changes in our home. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I've had a strong desire to be outside in nature, to garden & plant flowers and to also be outside to enjoy the stars at night.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>I want our lives to slow down a bit.</b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I've began composting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I recently bought a new 65 gallon compost tumbler.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I can't wait to be able to use it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I've been recycling for the past two years and I began to notice that most of our trash was stuff that could be used for compost....so I thought why not do that and we would have less waste in our home plus it would be a bonus for our yard.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In the past, I've also made my own moisturizers, face wipes, sugar scrubs and lip balms using essential oils.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I hope to experiment a little more with these in the future.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">For our wedding 5 years ago, a sweet friend gifted us a starter kit from Young Living.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I had no idea how my life was going to change just from a</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> <i>tiny drop of oil</i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I've thought about signing up as a wholesale member/distributor several times and I was wanting a new starter kit </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">last month </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">so I signed up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I'm so glad I did. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Once you sign up you are automatically on a Team... but you NEVER have to sell or do the business. You don't even have to make a monthly order unless you want to.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In this short amount of time....for sure this has been my </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">biggest blessing in 2017.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I love the Team I've signed up with.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">They create an environment that is so positive and loving.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">They love Jesus and love people and this is exactly what </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I needed in my life right now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I have learned so much more about essential oils and I am grateful for how they are supporting my families' needs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The other day my husband asked me what the balls were on our dryer and I told him that they are wool balls that you put essential oils in and they take the place of dryer sheets.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">He gave me a big hug and said... "You're so green." That is a compliment to me... because being green to me means </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>living simply and taking care of my family.</b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I sent my husband off this morning </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">with a prayer, a kiss and a cup of coffee. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The last thing I said was that </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>"this is going to be the best year yet."</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I love birthdays. I keep wondering if I will ever start dreading them... I hope I never do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Today is my 36th birthday and I wanted to share</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">36 things I have learned so far in this blessed life...</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">1. If your kids are mad at you...don't worry, you are doing something right.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Being a good parent means you're probably going to make your kids mad </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">more often than you would like.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Trust that God will take care of you.</span></div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">3. Do not chase boys/men.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The sooner you stop doing this and wait for a worthy man to pursue you, the sooner you will realize how worthy you are. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">4. <span style="text-align: start;">Have an extra makeup bag for your office. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="text-align: start;">You never know when you might want a touch up.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">5. </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Your children need love in different ways. Figure out what makes each child feel loved and fill up their love tanks the best you can.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">6. If you find yourself having trouble staying off of your phone while driving.... put it in the passenger floorboard. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Then it won't be within reach.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">7. Say No sometimes and don't feel like you have to explain yourself. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Be comfortable saying No.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">8. Men are not mind readers. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In order for them to know what you want, you must tell them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">9. Be a low maintenance friend.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">12. When your gas tank falls below 1/2 full, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">go ahead and fill up. </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Then you won't have to hurry </span><span style="font-family: times, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: large;">and get gas before work or school.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">...Or coast into some place on fumes and a prayer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">13. </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Choose Joy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Don't think others are going to make you happy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Create your own happiness by choosing joy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">14. When raising kids, it's much easier</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> to loosen up the reigns later than to try and tighten them up later.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">15. Embrace your quirks and your weirdness. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">That is what makes you YOU. </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Don't try to be somebody else. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Just be the best you that you can.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">but choose to spend your precious time with others </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">that fill your life with joy and happiness. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Don't waste your time with people that drain you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">17. Give give give give give... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">and then give some more.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">18. Have expectations for your kids, but no one else!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Expectations will only cause heartache.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">19. When trying to answer the dreaded, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">"Where do you want to eat?" question... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">You pick a place and your spouse picks a place. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> Using the alphabet, the name of the place that comes first </span><span style="font-family: times, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: large;">is Heads and the other is Tails. Now flip a coin, any coin will do. Winner is the place you shall eat at. You're welcome.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">21. Hide Scripture in your heart. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Being able to pull these up in your thoughts</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">when you need them most will lead to more peace in your world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">22. The only one still talking about your past is you....so stop. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Let it go.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">23. Your house may never be perfect. Invite people over anyway. True friends are there to see you, not your home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">24. Silence is golden. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The less you say, the less trouble you can get into. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">First of all, I never say ain't...so don't take that title too seriously...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Winning is great, but</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Winning isn't everything. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Now I know what people say about people that say that ;) but seriously, after all of the injuries and deaths that have occurred this football season, how could you disagree??</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I could sit around all day and think about the what ifs... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">What if they had ran this play?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">What if they had scored these points?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">What if that penalty didn't happen?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">What if this coach or that coach was here or there or everywhere??</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">What if?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">What if?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">What if?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Maybe this season didn't go as you had expected or wanted...but what did happen this season?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">in my opinion,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The community was excited about Friday Night Lights.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Tradition.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Athletes got to experience things throughout the season that mean being a Bobcat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The players worked hard and realized that they were capable of pushing past their limits.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">and most importantly, THEY HAD FUN!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Especially, to those seniors that means something.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">More than one came up to us last night and told Coach Sims how much fun they had this season.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I was good last night until ol' Coach Charlie hugged me. Then I lost it...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In his simple, wise words he told me, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">"The sun will shine tomorrow. It won't be bright, but it will shine."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The most important thing you can do when you lose is == LEARN.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I'm so happy to be Home and I love being a Bobcat. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I take great pride and honor in being a Bobcat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I bleed Bobcat Blue.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But seasons will come and seasons will go. Games will be won and games will be lost.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">While you may also love being a Bobcat...amidst all of it...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">let's not forget the Ultimate Role that we are called to be which is a Man or Woman of God.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">At times, I am so disappointed with how vulnerable and scary this world can be.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Watching the news can be heart wrenching sometimes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Social Media is no different. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I love it for many reasons, but also hate it for some.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This morning I was on Instagram and looking at the pictures on my husband's account. On one of his recent pictures I clicked on the "likers" and was disappointed to see some random girls that had liked this particular picture. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It wasn't your normal random girl, but an account that had in my opinion very inappropriate pictures.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">...there were 3 different account and the same girl owned 2 of them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Not only were there the pictures available for everyone to see, but in her profile listed a number connected to an app for anyone to call her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I mean wha???</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">You know, as if our lives here on Earth aren't hard enough....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We have our own battles to fight and it can be hard enough without others & Satan throwing new things in our way to throw us off track.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We MUST guard our hearts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">There are things out there that are just waiting for us to stumble.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Not only is my concern for adults in this world, but also for the children.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I think of the boys that are in my husband's athletic program. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">How often do these accounts comes across their IG feed?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">You can block them and report them, but the pictures are still there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I pray for adults and children to not give up the fight.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">To not stop looking for the good in this world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">To continue to choose to only look at things that bring God glory.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Y'all, what a day. What a week. I have this amazing job that allows me to be off some during the summer. This is my first summer to have this luxury. I'm sold. It's been so nice. ....but this week has been testing this Mama. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Like today.... I wanted this happy, summer day spent with Mommy... Yay!!! Let's go to the park, let's bake cookies, let's sing songs and dance, read books, yada yada yada.... Except I feel like I spent the entire day getting onto my kids for fighting or not listening or telling them to put their shoes up again for the millionth time when I know they know where they go........ </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">I want my kids to grow up remembering their childhood with me as a fun, loving time.... I don't want them to remember me as a stressed Mama that only cared if their rooms were clean.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">It's so hard to find the balance amongst the chaos. I want a tidy home, I want to teach the kids to be responsible, but honestly I look around sometimes and just throw my hands up because I feel like I can never get ahead and stay there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">I know these days won't last forever. I know I need to enjoy playing with my kids and not worry about the dishes.... but surely there is a way to do both? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Maybe I've seen too many Instagram feeds with happy Mamas and their happy babies and their spectacular homes and they always look so darn cute. Maybe I look around and see these Moms who have grown kids and think, Now they have it all together...... they look great, spend time with their girlfriends and don't seem as frazzled as I feel.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">At night when I finally plop down on our sofa....I think when am I going to get this Motherhood thing right? and now I'm about to add one more little one to our nest. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">I'm thankful that tomorrow is a new day and I get a chance to be better, to not get upset about the messes and to be the Mom that I want my kids to remember. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">I'm thankful for the peace that can come over this Mama's heart when I remember who is in control...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">I'm thankful for lessons that can be learned through studying God's word and the reminders from Him that we are not to be anxious about anything. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><i><b>Do not be anxious</b> about anything, but in every situation by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">We took off to my parents' house and had a wonderful time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">The night we got there we popped a few fireworks in their driveway.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">Their dog Lila chased after a smoke bomb and picked it up in her mouth. Dad and Jason had to save her and then keep her away from it until it was done smoking. To make it worse or more entertaining... it wasn't a regular smoke bomb, but one of the camo ones that last forever. Dad and Jason guarded Lila like they were playing in the NBA... it was good stuff.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">French toast, bacon and eggs made to order :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">That afternoon we headed to Fort Worth to eat at the restaurant where my brother, Thad works. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Despite the fact that in my past I have made some terrible decisions...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Despite the fact that I have been divorced...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">God has still smiled down upon me and blessed me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I am so thankful for making the decision to rededicate my life to the Lord. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Best decision ever.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">One area of my life that God has blessed me beyond my wildest dreams is with my marriage.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I'm not writing this to brag or boast or be all mushy.... I'm writing this because well, it's my blog and I will write what I want too.... but also to give you hope.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">There was a dark time in my life where I was a little lost.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I was going through my divorce and I was obviously not seeing things clearly and not making the smartest decisions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It was a point in my life where I was dealing with a </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">inner battle of who I had been and who I was.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It was a lonely, painful road, but once I realized that my #1 problem was my priorities.... and that what I needed to be more concerned about was who I was going to become.... things started falling into place again for me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I was tired of being sad. I knew that I had let my relationship with God fall by the wayside. I knew that I had been blinded by lies. Lies from Satan, lies from other men </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">and lies I was telling myself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">One day I had made the decision that I couldn't change the past, but I could make sure my future was better. Not only for me, but for my precious children.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I decided that ALL I needed was God.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It was that simple. I spent a lot of time in prayer asking for forgiveness. I was specific in naming my sins. Stuff I didn't even want to think about or remember, but I knew the sins were not hidden from God. He already knew all of my sins and He knew my heart.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I would pray and say.... <i><b>"It's you and me God. Just you and me.... and that is all I need."</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I put my priorities back in order and I was at peace with being alone. I did not need a man. I had God, my children and my family.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Looking back it was one of my favorite seasons. Rekindling my relationship with God... spending time in prayer, in the Word, discovering who I wanted to be and learning to forgive myself... which sometimes is the hardest part.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">At a time when I least expected it... my husband came into my life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">God knew my needs better than I knew myself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Trusting him made things so much better, so much easier.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I will save our dating details for another post, but for the reason I began this particular post...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Not all women will relate, but some will....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I am a self-proclaimed romantic. Love is important to me. Romance. Affection. Affirmations. Etc....etc.... It rocks my world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So for those women that can relate:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">You know when you read a Nicholas Sparks book or watch one of his movies or any other romantic book/film ... those feelings you get... I mean who doesn't want to kiss in the rain or have a man that will give them the world or flowers or a love note or whatever...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I watch those movies... like this recently, "The Longest Ride" and "Best of Me" and I think:::</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I have that man. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I have to pinch myself. Seriously.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">God has given me such a gift in my husband. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">He kisses me like it's our first and our last kiss.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">He tells me I'm beautiful and when he says it, I believe him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">He wants everyone to know that he loves me and that I am his wife.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">My happiness is important to him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">He wants to grow old with me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">When we are together he is present. Right there...in the moment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And the list goes on and on...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I don't want to <i>ever ever ever</i> take him or our marriage for granted.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Ever.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I thank God specifically for Jason. I thank him for his character, his compliments, his love.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I don't think the<b> </b>key is/was finding a guy that is romantic.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I think the <b>first</b> key, the secret... is a guy that puts God before you. A man that fears the Lord and knows the importance of having a personal relationship with him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I think the <b>second</b> key/secret is to put God before ANYONE else yourself. In fact, I believe that's what will help you with the <b>first</b> key/secret...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Check your priorities.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I also think that no matter what your relationship is like now....with God and through prayer you can have the relationship/marriage that your heart desires.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">God knows your heart and your desires.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Trust him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Trust God with your life, your marriage, your relationships. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Stop trying to control them yourselves.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It's you and God.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">...and that's enough.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">xoxoxoxoxo....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As you may have pieced together, life has been a whirlwind for us since Christmas. The day after Christmas Coach Sims and I found out that we are expecting a baby this fall…. the week of the first football game to be exact :)</span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Four days after Christmas we took Olivia and Jonah to Disney World in Florida. We had such a magical time! </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I need to post pictures one day.</span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">During this time, the Athletic Director’s job in Childress (our Hometown) came open. This was an unexpected opportunity for our family. After much prayer & discussion…. We decided that if Coach Sims got this job it would be a blessing for our family. </span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Since 2010, he has been coaching 30 miles down the road at Quanah, but he has not been home since he graduated. Since we were married in 2012, I had been living in Quanah, but before that the kids and I were living in Childress.</span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">For the past 5 years, Coach Sims had made his home in Quanah and had been all about Quanah. He loved those kids. He worked countless hours to improve the Athletic Program in every area. He built relationships, he enjoyed wins, he endured some losses and no matter what he always focused on what </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">could make the program better.</span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">He hired a stellar staff of coaches, he put forth a work ethic that is rare and above all else he put God first….</span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In early January, when Coach Sims not only applied for the job in Childress, but had the honor of receiving it…he jumped into Bobcat Mode 1000% that very second. </span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">For him, it wasn’t his first move in this coaching world. I knew that he would miss the kids in Quanah, but I also knew that this was business and he was doing what was best for his family. </span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">For me, it was my first move as a coach’s wife. …and Holy Goodness was it a whirlwind of emotions. I care so much about what people think… I didn’t want the people in Quanah to think it was an easy decision, but I didn’t want the people in Childress to think it was a hard decision …. because it was neither and both at the same time.</span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It took me a bit to wrap my head around what was happening. People were upset and that bothered my little heart. There were some people in Quanah that I was really going to miss, but I was anxious to go back home and be near my family.</span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">During this transition, when I was in Quanah it would feel like an awful break-up, but when I was in Childress it felt like that feeling you get when you are falling in love. Everyone was so happy and excited for us to move home. …and we were too!</span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The very day that Coach Sims got the job, we had someone contact us about a rent house and we were moved in by the end of the month. The kids transferred back to the Childress schools and we began going to church here in Childress. </span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Everything happened so fast and so seamless that we knew God had His hand in this transition and move. </span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Being back in our Hometown has been So. Much. Fun. Everyone here has been so nice and so welcoming…. our hearts are full.</span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The last couple of months have been hard on this emotional mama…but I’m anxiously awaiting the next few months as things fall even more into place and we make Childress our Home again.</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Today I want to talk about being authentic. Back in 2012 ... when I started this little blog...that was the main thing I wanted to be - AUTHENTIC.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I spend most of my time being shy, quiet and introverted.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Blogging was going to be a way for me to express myself and get to know others</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> through writing and social media. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I know that it's easy to paint a perfect picture online and while I spend the majority of my time trying to be encouraging and positive.... I never want you to think I am pretending that I'm perfect or that our lives are perfect.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hardly. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">My house is usually a mess, I spend more time some mornings getting onto the kids than I would like just because I hit snooze more times than I should, I can be super insecure and at times jealous. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This is by far my worst quality. One that I hope to overcome in 2015.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Ugh, blah, I know :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It's hard to trust again and sometimes it's hard to relinquish control and say to God, "I trust you and I know you will take care of me."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">but if there is one thing I have learned this past year...it is </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">that it's essential.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Lord have mercy is it essential.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The truth of my insecurity is that it has nothing to do</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> with anyone else.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Just me. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It is completely about the lies in my head that I have allowed myself to believe.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It it a trap. One that can be easy to fall into and one that is challenging to pull yourself out of.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">There are many areas of my life that I have resigned to the Lord... ways that I have died to self.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Such as, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I am very forgiving. I don't hold grudges and I let things go easily.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I accept others for who they are and love them as God loves me.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Silence is golden. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I<i> strive</i> to not gossip and to only use my words to build others up and encourage them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Occasionally, I find myself in a conversation that I usually regret....but I'm quick to change the conversation and ask for forgiveness.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I am truly happy for others when they succeed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I am excited when good things happen to others.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I love it when someone achieves a goal they have worked hard for. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I love it when others are just generally happy and things are going great for them!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I have learned to be happy where I am and with what I have.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I am thankful for all of my blessings.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I know there are people out there that are praying for the things that we sometimes complain about. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">These are a few of the things that over the years as I have walked with God and studied His Word that I have been able to make part of my life.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">but Lord help me...this one thing is holding me back from enjoying the completely happy, wonderful life that God has promised me.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I know that this is the year that I will overcome the dark, ugly corner of my mind that is filled with fear and insecurity.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I plan to daily replace it with God's truth.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I plan to let it go....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I don't want any part of it any more.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It's ugly, it's embarrassing and it does not represent the freedom that we have when </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">we truly are One with God.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In the book Jesus Calling by Sarah Young ... on October 19th she speaks about being authentic. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Where is the peace if we are constantly being fake? Be ourselves, admit where we have failed, move on, be better.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I want to be better. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">and I want you to know the true me.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I want to be authentic in all areas of my life.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I don't always talk about things in my life, but when asked questions I will not lie...I am an open book.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I just choose to move forward and be better than I was yesterday.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I hope you have had a great Tuesday.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I love blogging.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">When I started I promised myself that I would never apologize for not blogging.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I promised myself that I would never feel guilty about it either.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I haven't, but I do miss it when I can't find a stinkin' minute to sit down long enough to write one post.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I've just been living. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I am not the best at chronicling my life, but I definitely enjoy it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I told myself that I will blog when I can and if you choose to read it great! If not...that's great too....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I know that you are all just as busy as I am! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">There are several blogs that I would LOVE to enjoy on a daily basis, but between my full-time job, my wife & mom duties, etc. etc..... I just can't squeeze them ALL in.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I have already surpassed my personal goals for my blog.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I have met some great blogging friends....some whom I am co-hosting this new weekly link up with.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I have pried myself a little bit out of my introverted shell that I "created" over the past several years.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I also attended a very fun dinner with the Texas Women Bloggers in Dallas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">If along the way I earn money through blogging then it will just be a nice bonus because that is <i>not </i>on the top of my </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">priority list right now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This past year I have become a part of a blogging community that I am so appreciative of. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Their friendships have meant a lot to me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Each one of us in this group is different. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We all have different things going on in our lives and we all have different goals for our blogs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Even though we are all different...we create together and encourage one another.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We want to see each other reach their goals.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As always... my hope for this blog is just to be an encouragement to each of my readers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Life is hard, life is messy.... but with God it can still be so beautiful.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I wish I could stay a minute and share what's on my heart.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> from the Senior Mamas... </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">One of my favorite parts of our pep rallies are when the boys break it down during the Tomahawk.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Love it!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">What a send off! People of Quanah showed out for this team and it was an awesome sight to see. It started with the bus passing by the elementary and seeing all of those kids & teachers waving & yelling.... Wow!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Then traveling down the highway with an escort not only here, but in Childress. To see all of the people lined up on 287 was AMAZING!! Businesses cheering on this team with their gold pom-poms and signs ------ Loved it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Wonderful send off, Quanah!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
[also, you can say pom pons, pom poms, pom-poms, whatever you want... </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Oh. My. Word. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">You know some weeks... I sit in the stands and think to myself ----> Please keep it classy, Quanah.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">They usually do, but last night our crowd was beyond classy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">From the minute the game started, the fans were cheering! It was awesome... I'm hoarse today and proud of it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">They did not stop. I stood throughout the whole game and so did many others.... yelling along with the cheerleaders the ENTIRE game... all 4 quarters! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Many fans in the stands would start cheers as well as the cheerleaders... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">They were behind those Indians all of those 48 minutes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I loved how they never got down on them...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Always encouraging.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">oh side note... one of my favorite parts of the game was when the team <i>and </i>the fans held up 4 fingers before the 4th quarter ---- awesome, I mean seriously. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Small Towns are the best.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This team ----- from the Offensive Line, Defensive Line, Quarterback, Receivers, Backs, Safeties, Special Teams!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Played their tails off. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Booker was a great team. They averaged 55 points </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">a game this season.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Their quarterback broke Texas History records, but our Indians shut them down like nobody's business.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">When these boys are giving pep talks at their son's pep rallies one day...this will be a game that will be mentioned --- it was that good.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Our boys came to play last night. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">They played like Brothers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">They played to the best of their ability.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">They just ROCKED it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Breaking up passes, sacks, hard hits {BOOM}, passes that were perfection.... beautiful routes... pressure on the QB... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I could mention specific names here.... but I'm always reluctant because I never want to leave anyone out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">They ALL played so good.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">One player that I will mention is Jacob Laughery -- I'm so glad he is ok! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I'm thankful for no injuries last night!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">For me, as a coach's wife... the best part is that I get to go home with this guy.</span></div>
