This post will be pictures and pictures only. I don't have time to write captions, I'm working from home today. Plus, the pictures speak for themselves. Enjoy!!!

i forgot!

In my earlier post I forgot to ask for some prayers. While Brandon and I were gone on our honeymoon, my dog Rocky was taken to the vet and was told he had glaucoma in his eyes. At first, when my mom told me I kinda blew it off ( to be honest, I really didn't know what it was). After seeing and hearing my mom say those words and the look on her face I then become worried. Of course, I went to google and googled glaucoma and in a nut shell.... it can lead to blindness. That scares me. My dog is only 3 years old, he can't be sick or have any problems. I already dealt with a eye issue with Nakona and her almost losing her eye. I just don't get it? So right now this issue has been weighing heavily on my heart. I know its just a dog, but these dogs our my babies, my kids and i would do everything to keep them healthy.

Tomorrow he has an appointment with the eye doctor for animals. I am happy he is going because we want a for sure answer, but Brandon and myself are very weary of the dr.'s bill. For those of you who have pets and had a vet bill, you know what I am talking about. Money is just an object and Rocky is most important, but it still worries me. I haven't slept in 3-4 days now with everything on my mind from work, life, dogs, money, etc. Please say a prayer for Rocky tomorrow while going to the dr. I hope its just either an infection or irritated. I don't know how I will handle if he goes blind, it will just tear me apart. I know that God is in control and he has a plan but please pray for Brandon and I to have a peaceful feeling about this whole thing.

Another prayer request....Brandon is still without a job. He has a lot of prospects BUT still no job. Please pray for us as this time can be tough with bills and whatnot coming from one pay check.

Ok- one more prayer request. Rememeber how i posted about the family who i babysit for and the dad was hit by a tree and broke his back, etc? Well, I have been updated everyday with his progress and things are getting better everyday. Its going to be a long journey for him and his family but things are looking better everyday :) Just pray for the Jarvis family for their journey, Tate's recovery, Jennifer's sweet heart and strength and Madison and Gracies little's hearts.

Thanks ya'll!

prayers needed

hi friends,

this will be a quick post as i am trying to gather things together from hurricane ike and well, my soon to be wedding. as my friend jd's mother-in-law said....thank goodness ike showed up for my wedding a week earlier. such a blessing, really, it is. my parents are still without power but brandon's family has power along with brandon and i's townhouse. i haven't been to work since thursday and we have no work again tomorrow. things are still trying to get up and running around here. its definitely been a mess, but we are thankful everyone is alive and well.

now, on to the reason why i am posting today. i babysit for a family, going on 2 years now and a horrible accident happened. i do not know the whole details , only from what i have read on his care page. i recived an email from the mom of the girls i babysit for telling me about tate's ( the dad) carepage. i was quite confused and immediately went and checked it all out. from the little details that were said on his page that i read, it said that tate was having back surgery due to falling in the storm? that's pretty much all the details i got from it. he just got out of emergency surgery and is doing ok. the doctors are not hopeful that he will be able to ever walk again. please please please say a prayer for tate and the jarvis family. they are very dear to my heart as i have gotten very close to them and their daughters over the past 2 years. i know god is in control and he will work through this tough time. so again, please say a prayer of healing for this family.

thanks ya'll!

yikes!

hi friends! Guess what?.....................

Disclaimer: Blogger SUCKS when it comes to putting pictures in a certain order you want! So please excuse the mess, these pictures are clearly not in order!


I am not quite sure what this post will be about, nothing specific. These are pictures that I didn't post yet because they were on my moms camera with 642 pictures. Yes, I downloaded 642 pictures from her camera last night, let's just say it took FOREVER! But, I finally have the pictures I wanted, needless to say. So there huge story for this post, just pictures! :)

Are they cute? Nakona (left) and Sadie(right) are cousins. Sadie is a Chihuahua, weighing in at a WHOPPING 3.6 lbs. She is TEEEEEEEE-TIIIIIIINY, but so cute! This was the girls first time to meet each other and all Nakona wanted to do was play with Sadie and well, Sadie didn't want to play. Nakona had jumped up on the chair to say Hi and Sadie climbed on the arm rest to get away!

I love my pups! They ALWAYS snuggle with me at night, well actually, anytime I am laying on that couch they come snuggle with me. I had to get my mom take a picture of it, it's just too cute! Rocky and Nakona are going to miss this couch when we move out in a couple weeks. They will have a whole new couch to snuggle on :)

I coach softball as most of you know and here is Coach Eddie, my daddy and myself during one of our games in Dallas. My mom came that weekend and so brought her camera so she could take pictures of her hubby and daugther coaching together. Speaking of my dad and I coaching together.....it really is something special that my dad and I share together. Not many people get to work with people they love and I have had the privelage to coach with my dad on 2 different teams. It's neat because I have grown up being coached by my dad and if he wasn't my coach, he was coaching and cheering for me from the stands. Now, we both get to coach our favorite sport together, it truly is something special. I charish every moment I get to spend with him on the field. It's always something my daddy and I have will together. Oh! and I love Coach Eddie too! One of the best people I know!

Mom had to get a picture of us two coaching together. I am the pitching and catching coach and I call pitches ( which is by far my FAVORITE thing to do!). While I call pitches my dad sits next to me and charts the pitches I call ( ball, strike..etc).

All the girls think it's funny when I go catch in between innings. I.ABSOLUTELY. LOVE. IT! A lot of the parents say I am coming out of retirement, haha! The girls wish I could catch for our team, they always say I can pull off being 18, which I could :) But seriously, any chance I get to catch in between innings, I'm right there! I actually get kinda mad when one of the girls goes and catches.... I say" You are taking the fun away from me!"

My sweet momma and I on the porch at our hotel room. Long story short........the team mom reserved rooms for the team at a Baymont Inn Hotel ( DON'T EVER GO THERE). I had just came from a business trip staying at the Double Tree Hotel across the street from the Dallas Galleria. Let's just say I almost threw up when I got to the hotel room. I am not a snooty person but I.WILL.NOT. stay in a nasty hotel! So I made some arrangements and switched hotels. My parent came up that next day and we had to take a little photo shoot before we left for the fields.

My amazing parents who are my rock and support in my life. They are tooooo cute and I love them so much! I'm not gonna lie, although I am so excited to move out of my parent's house and start a new chapter in my life, I am a sad that I am moving out. I will miss their company and just the feeling of being "home".

Coach Gary and Coach Kellianne is who we are and its what we do! I am definitely a daddy's girl and always will be!

sneak peek!

Ok, so I know I shouldn't be showing you these pictures but let's just say, I AM SO GLAD I RE-TOOK MY BRIDAL PORTRAITS! I LOVED my hair and makeup so much better than the first go-round. These pictures were taken by my mom so they aren't super amazing but you'll get the picture. Enjoy because I did! :) Thanks Aunt Rena and mom for helping me yesterday!!!
