Faith is what will sustain us.

Hi friends...
As we know, life presents great obstacles for us and I am in the place in life where I am trying with all of my might to rely on my strength, courage and faith to sustain me in whatever is thrown at me, because in the end, that is what will keep me holding fast.
I write this blog today with a heavy heart...
for those of you who may or may not know, my Grandfather, was diagnosed with prostate and bladder canser a little over three years ago.
We received word last night that his treatments are no longer working and the doctors are stopping any further treatment.
As I am struggling to wade through the grief of losing my mom, I am now preparing to say goodbye to my darling Grandfather, the man who gave my mom life.
So, please, I am asking you for your support once again in praying that he has a safe and painless flight home and that God continues to help guide me and family through these difficult times.
And though it may seem weird, I am finding great comfort in knowing that he will soon be safe at home with my momma.






please dont be offended when I say that I fucking hate canser.

Its a Sunshine Day

Hey everyone...I hope you all enjoyed your Fourth of Joo-Lie! We had a pretty good time...good food, Kiddie Pool swimmin, Beer Pong, family and a little MJ dance party in the kitchen.






I hope that you are all enjoying your summer...or winter...whatever the case may be.
I have been spending quite a bit of time at the beach lately and really enjoying it...its like a mini vacay. Although, I must say that last week my cousin Emily and I fried ourselves and she is still feeling a bit miserable from its effects.
And yes, for those who are wondering, we did use sunscreen and there was even an umbrella involved...but we were no match against the ferociously burning hot rays of the sun.

Alright my friends...I'm off to enjoy the rest of the gorgeous day!

hugs
xx

A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken. ~James Dent

Three Cheers for the Red White And Blue





Today is the day that we celebrate America's Independence...
otherwise known as another reason to Par-Tayyy.
The beaches and parks are usually littered with grockels, tourists, and kooks...so we are going down to Chula to my cousins house to partake in her husbands glorious cooking and maybe play a drinking game or two because it is the 4th of July after all.

For those of you who don't know, this festive and very American holiday was my moms favorite, so please join us in celebrating in this day with the same zest and fervor and she always did.

Now lets all do what comes before Part B.....


lets Part-A!!


Have a safe and
