Yay Monday!!!

So it's Monday again and I'm thankful that I'm only in the office through Wednesday! So being here today doesn't feel so bad.

Last week I tried to catch y'all up on what's been going on with me. I didn't get to a couple of things but I'll try to address it now.

First and most importantly this week I am participating in the congregational fast that my church is doing in remembrance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Now let me be clear when I say that I am working on my relationship with Christ. I am NOT perfect and I don't run around quoting scripture just because it sounds good. In my heart I know I can do better so I am trying.

From 6 am to 6 pm today through Saturday I will be fasting. I will allow myself one cup of coffee in the morning while I'm at work but other than that it's water. I'm working on a mental and physical cleanse.

Last weekend...

My BFF asked me to go out early last week giving me very little reason or option to protest I don't like going out Friday night, I went because she said she was feeling down.






A couple pics from the night out!

On Saturday I attended a first time home buyers class. It was an 8 hour class, from 9-5. Initially I dreaded the thought of sitting in a class all day. To my surprise it was a very entertaining and informative class!

I would highly recommend taking a class like this if you are planning to buy a home. I learned a TON and I feel like I'm one step ahead in the game!

The side hustle...

After the class I finally had the opportunity to work on a few tutu skirts by request! These are the skirts I made!!













These are my first and I think they turned out amazing!! The girls absolutely love them!! I'm not going to lie, they aren't that difficult to make BUT I needed something to set these apart from the rest!!! I'm pretty sure I've figured it out and as soon as I finish the first one, I'll share it!!

Tutu's are for sale if you'd like one for any little girl in your life! Trust me when I say they can never have too many!

Cost: $20 plus $5 to ship

Oh yeah and the big girls like them too..they aren't just for little girls :-)

I AM SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THIS IDEA!!!!

My blog will probably be undergoing another facelift soon! Stay tuned!!

I really needed this break!

I've been M.I.A. for over a month now, and I've missed posting to my blog! I've definitely missed my buddies in blog land (waves at new followers...I see you boo!) although like normal (when I take mini breaks) I have been reading and commenting here and there on your blogs!

There's a lot to catch you all up on so I'll break it down in sections over the next few days. Today I want to talk about life in general and the reasons why I haven't been posting.

THE MOVE

My friend and I moved into a nice big rental home almost two weeks ago! 5 bd/3 ba...2200+ square feet big! For what we believed would be a fairly simple move turned out to be one of that from hell! From start to finish it was a pain in the ass!



My pretty new duvet cover!

Needless to say somehow (with God's grace and mercy) we managed to get through it. I will say this though, the next place I move into I WILL OWN! Which brings me to my next subject!

HOME OWNERSHIP

I am very serious when I say that it is time for me to buy my own home. Since I don't foresee myself being married in the near future I must think and make plans solely on my ability to make it happen. Scary...a little bit, but I have to think about my girls and my stability for them in the future.

After much research, I found out that there are a ton of resources in Houston! You must be willing to educate yourself on the process and put in the work! That's how I run my life so I'm confident that I'll be able to do it!

Keep me in your prayers as I trudge through these unfamiliar muddy waters! I'll keep y'all posted on the process!



My most recent picture :-)

Tomorrow I plan to post about my relationship, then I'd like to talk about my journey and what's been happening with that!

Lastly I want to fill you in on a recent project AND my blog direction again! I wish I had the time to record and edit a vlog...but I don't so I'll try to catch you up best I can with pics!

Happy Monday!
