OUR 1st Family Vacation!! Gatlinburg, TN

2009-12-18T16:43:00.005-06:00

Well we finally got to take a family vacation, the first one in our 5 year marriage. We had a Great Time. It was Cold, yet very scenic. We cant wait to go back. Here are just some of the pics I FINALLY GOT DOWNLOADED. Ass For my Melt down, well what can I say, Vacation in a Scenic place with no kitchenette, only a microwave, is not easy to eat just Raw. Besides this is the South, Pancakes, and Fried Chicken on every corner. But Since being back home, I am in full swing of the raw eating again, and LOVING it. I have managed to lose 20 LBS, and keep that off so far, So not doing too bad. Will keep you all posted on when I lose more.

Enjoy our pics.

MAMA Is having a MELTDOWN!!!!!!

2009-10-27T08:32:00.005-05:00

I wanted to Start journaling My Journey on my Meltdown, I am so excited to be able to have the opportunity(by Gods grace ONLY) to Finally be committed to getting this Weight off.

I have been Praying for about 18 months now, On doing a Lifestyle Change. (I call it that, because I DON'T like the word DIET). I have known several close Friends that Have successfully done the Hallelujah Lifestyle Change, and had Great results. It always made me Wish I too could have the Strength they had to give up all the addictions to food that I too struggled with. Mine weaknesses were more for sugars, White Flour, and Diary. I wasn't really into Fried Food. Never appealed to me very much. But one thing I knew was that I was not ready to Lay it all down. I am all too well familiar with my flesh, and I know, at times, my Flesh is stronger than my spirit.

I Am going to be reporting on a weekly basis, on the progress of my Weight Lose. I will be weighing myself every Monday. I will also be posting pics. (Of me melting away). I would Love for all of you to keep praying for me. I really feel led by God that this is the time for me to do this. He is my ultimate Strength in this. With HIM I can not accomplish such a BIG task.

I started this melt down on 10/19/09. And in my First week, I can Say I have Lost 7 lbs. Glory to GOD only. I am also no longer taking my Anxiety Medicine. AS Anti MEDS, that I am , Against my better judgement, I recently had to start Taking Bus par. A NON-Narcotic Anxiety Pill. I was having Anxiety Attacks all day Long. It was going on for well over a Month, and I was having a very Difficult time Functioning. These Anxiety attacks take alot out of you. So about 2 mths ago, I went on this medicine. I hated taking it, but it did help. I tried to stop taking it after the first 30 days. BAD Idea.. Didn't work, the attacks started up again.

I am happy to report that on my 1st week on the Hallelujah Lifestyle Change I am no longer on Bus par, and I have had NO anxiety attacks. PRAISE GOD AGAIN. I could not Do this Without HIM.

So please Stay Tuned to my "Mama's Having a Meltdown" Reports, and Watch me Melt Like Butter. And Keep those Prayers Coming.

God Bless.

MY Little BRO..Lee, and Me

I RAN AWAY FROM HOME!!!!!! Hee Hee

2008-07-02T21:38:00.007-05:00

Well I told the hubby and kids someday I would Run away from Home. And I finally did it.. I ran to Florida for some Much needed R&R. As well as for some much NOT needed more court battling, round 10, with Nicolas and Josephs Father. And oh yes, He showed up. Should we expect anything Different? Ha Ha. Well all went well. We are Still far from OVER.. maybe not even till after the first of the year. However I am fully confident that this is Gods Will for Nicolas and Joseph to be here. Kelly will have to shell out ALOT of money to get them back this time.. and He has NO income. NOR does he have Any Help of income. I have been rest assured that Kellys mother and brother BOTH feel that The boys should be here with me and that they are supporting me 100%. So , No worries.
NOW on to the R&R part of my trip. I really had a Great time With Tara and her family. Thanks just seems so minimal when it comes to all the support that you and John and Kim and Steve have been giving me throughout the Years. I sure Thank GOD for all of my brothers and Sisters down in Tampa for all the encouragement.. It has made a MAJOR difference in my life. I can now see the Glass as always Full. having been touched by all of you.
I had alot of fun spending time with my mom and brother and Grandma.. I have some pics here to show all of my family that I got to spend time with. Tara, I promised I wouldn't put your incriminating photo in here.LOL I had such a good time with my brother Especially. We got to talk for days.. and I can only hope that it helped him as much as it did me.. Looking forward to seeing him here on my stomping grounds, in August. I love you Lee.

Well I wish I had pictures of the expression on the faces of my precious little ones when they woke up and saw me hiding under the blanket on the couch this morning. Poor Jeremiah was startled at first and wasnt sure is was me. But not baby David... He knew it was me right off, and hugged me for a long time. Sorta like I did to Albert at the Airport. I told him a week was MORE than enough to be away from him.. We had never been apart that long before and don't plan to be again. Next time He comin With momma. Well Hope you all enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed the 1.5 hour of massage, and pedicure, and (thanks mom and Dad) eating out. I even got to take a NAP for 2 hours the day I was leaving to come home.

Albert sure was happy to see me. As much as I was happy to get back to work.. My house is now back in order after working on it all day. and He couldn't be happier. Will keep you all posted on any upcoming news, as the HAPPY HOLLOW GANG... Keeps Loving and living the HAPPY HOLLOW HILLS.

Nicolas Got Saved!!!

2008-06-22T19:31:00.002-05:00

Praise God!!!! My first Born Son is SAVED!!!!! Today At Church, Pastor Scott was preaching a sermon on "Where are you going if you died today?" Towards the end of the sermon, Nicolas came over to me and he was crying.. Telling me that he had to go, and wanted me to go with him.. I asked him if he was sure and he said Yes.. So we went to the Alter and he cried his heart out.. He excepted Jesus into his heart and was Baptised at 3pm. Here are the Pictures of his baptism.. I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE PROUD OF HIM. I have waited and PRAYED as every parent does for their kids, for soooo long now. Nicolas told me that he told God that day at church;" If you touch me. I will go" and Sure enough God touched him.. He said he didn't want to be 38 years old just getting saved, and knowing that he could die at anytime before then.. Not knowing where he would go.

I need to Thank All of you that have been praying with us for this day to come. As I go to Court ON thursday June 26th 2008, to FINALLY get custody of the boys. I can now go with MORE confidence than I already had, that I will be coming home with ownership papers.!!!!!!!! Praise GOD.. More to Come, after June 26th.. Enjoy all our family fun, as we waller in the hills and creeks of HAPPY HOLLOW LANE.
