The One with the Friends

Today I am guest posting over at Living in this Season....
I wanted to share my post with you here as well.

Please check out Keri's Blog... 
she is a sweet friend that I have recently made through blogging.

You will find some wonderful posts on her blog!

best friends.  close friends.  sweet friends.

What would we do without our girlfriends?

I am very open, but very private at the same time.  I am nice to everyone, but there are few women that I open my heart up to.  It takes me forever to build friendships because I am a little shy and guarded, but once they are built I am loyal forever.

As I think back over the course of my life and all of the friends I have had....it's interesting to see how these girls were my Rock at different times.  All of them were special to me and I poured my life into theirs.
It's also interesting to think about how the chapters with some of these friends have come to an end, but I still cherish our friendship and the wonderful times that we shared.  Some of the friendships are there...but just a little different.

There aren't many things that are more fun than sharing a cup of coffee with your BFF or laughing at all of your inside jokes.  Through the good times and the bad times you always want what is best for each other.

Talking to your best friend is sometimes all the therapy you need.

One of my closest friends had said once that ------> Nothing ever stays the same.
How true is that? Life is constantly changing...sometimes we change jobs or move, get married and sometimes divorced, we have babies or just lose touch... No matter how badly you want to remain close to some of these friends...life takes you in another direction.
Even though you don't get to spend as much time together....for me... my heart doesn't change.
I still love each of one of my Best Friends and I always will.




They 
always stood by me.  always encouraged me. 
 always laughed with me. 
 always saw the best in me no matter what....

I believe each of our friendships serve a purpose.  They help us grow and enrich our lives.  Those friendships are exactly what we need at that moment in our lives.

This post is dedicated to all of those friendships...the ones from our past, the ones we have yet to make and to the ones that are constantly changing 
throughout the years.




Keri...thank you so much for asking me to guest post on your lovely blog!

xoxo...

The One with Why I Blog....

A couple of weeks ago I did a guest post 
over at The Vanilla Tulip...and I wanted to share that here for some of you new readers :)

______________________________________


Why I Blog???

I don't blog because I think our story is better or more meaningful than yours...


I don't blog because I think I'm perfect.


I blog to humble me.


I blog because I want to be authentic.


I want to share my story...the good to inspire and the bad to encourage.


I am where I am now because of Jesus.


Without Him, I would still be lost in darkness.  


I blog because I want my children to have their story recorded.


I blog because I want to make others smile.


I blog because I love my husband and am so proud of him.


I don't want to be popular.


I don't want to have millions of followers just because.


I blog because having my tiny space in this world means something to me and I want to celebrate it.



The meaning behind my blog....

When I started blogging last year I knew that the main things I would write about would be Faith, Family & Football.  We have a little girly girl, Olivia Kate and also a little boy, Jonah Daniel (Jonah Bear) that is ALL boy! We came up with Tiaras & Touchdowns to reflect both of our kids and my husband's career...he is an Athletic Director/Head Football Coach...in Texas.  Football in Texas is almost a religion of it's own...especially Texas High School Football.  
I am not a coach, but I do use Mrs. Coach Sims on most of my social media.  Right after my husband and I were married I wanted to change my Twitter name.  He suggested to make it similar to his...so that is what I did.  The first time I was called Mrs. Coach Sims was at a Quanah baseball game in Clarendon.  We walked up into the stands and a Mr. Alex Alaniz said...Hello Coach Sims....hello Mrs. Coach Sims...and that is where the name began.  
I love it because I love my husband so much and because I admire how much he enjoys his job.  I spend most of my days following him around as he chases his dreams and I wouldn't spend them any other way.

Now, the Introductions...
