As Promised..
Hey Blurbers! Had a busy few weeks so I'm just dropping by to share some PICS! There are a few general ones but most are from our recent trip to Memphis. I had alot of fun, I cant wait to go back next year!
Its been ridiculously hot in the Midwest and with no air conditioning the sleeping and living arrangements have been quite interesting. But the heat did inspired us to move forward with setting up our den in the basement and it has finally come together!
It looks pretty good and is quite comfortable. As you can see the Hubs(his feet anyway) is enjoying it with his Xbox! We still need a few pictures on the walls and another reclining chair or two to make it super Lounge-y and comfy. AC would be nice too .. but that's a post in itself. LOL
And now VACA pics! First baby adorableness!

| Sweetie Poo nephew has learned to SMILE! |
 |
| And show every body his funny faces |
Best thing about going on a trip besides spending time with family, learning different cultures, sightseeing and shopping is trying all different kinds of FOOD!
 |
| BBQ Bologna Sandwich.. Sounds weird but it was pretty tasty. |
 |
| Memphis Style Pulled Pork .. Hubs said it was OK |
 |
| Beniget.. Like a Creole Funnel cake/Donuts.. Delicious |
 |
| Deep Fried Strawberries. I didn't know you could do that.. but i guess if you are brave you can Deep Fry anything. Tasted like how I would imagine a strawberry cobbler would. |
 |
| Memphis style nachos with BBQ pulled Pork.. I only had enough room in my stomach to try one of these but it was pretty darn tasty. |
 |
| JoeJoe(Hubs younger cousin) Was Excited about these nachos.. but he couldn't finish them LOL! |
 |
| Full, Hot, and Happy |
 |
| Cute outfit! |
 |
| I didn't make it here this time..but I like their slogan :) |

| Downtown Memphis, Beale St. at night |

Beautiful day on the way back from Memphis. I took this picture with the Vintage filter on my camera phone.. Pretty impressive ehh?

Where's Beanie?!
1. Well this isn't necessarily small but May 14th the Hubs and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary.!!! YAAAAYYY! Go us! I love my husband and I love our love.. he is my Rock... my best friend..and biggest supporter. Without him there wouldn't be a Beanie (he gave me the nickname, lol).. and he is sure to put a smile on my face everyday making him one of the greatest blessings in my life thus far.
2. I'm one my second set of Yarn Braids because I loved them so much the 1st time. I've had them for about a month now, so I am going to attempt to freshen up the 1st couple of rows this weekend.
3. My weight loss is stagnant.. my blood sugars are a little better but I still have the threat of full time insulin looming over my head. I'm supposed to be getting a continuous glucose monitor for a couple days so we can see what my body really does while I eat, sleep, exercise and play. I'm actually looking forward to it.. because at this point I just want my diabetes under control so it wont wreak havoc on my body and internal organs.
4. All of my girlfriends have completed their undergraduate degrees! Congratulations to all of my Strong Beautiful Sistas for completing their education in order to make a better way for themselves. I'm so proud of you all! You girls are truly an inspiration to me. So for a few shout outs... Congrats to Alex, Monique, AJ, Jasmine, and Krystal. I wish you all great things in your future and I pray that God may continue to bless you all!
5. The basement AND Bathroom remodel are complete! I love home improvement and making your house feel like a home.. I will post pictures soon. I PROMISE!
6. And probably the biggest news of all is I HAVE A NEW NEPHEW! Lil Caiden or Boe as I call him was born a healthy 8 lbs3 oz and 21 inches on May 28th @ 5:51 in the morning. witnessing his birth was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. He is so precious and beautiful and time consuming! Sometimes I go to visit and spend hours just looking at him or holding him or just trying to figure out what he wants. It's a truly an amazing feeling to have such love for a little stranger. I mean its the only time you can say I just met him.. and I'm totally in love and people can't look at you crazy LOL! Hut equally amazing as he is.. is his mother my Sissy who naturally bore him without nearly any medication and wasn't hollering like a crazy person. Although she was in pain and probably scared outta her mind she was focused and did an amazing job, which is why she is now my Shero! Of course I don't have any pictures now.. but since Boe is the latest internet celebrity.. you should be seeing him soon..
Well Blurbers.. those of you who remain.. I'll blurb to you next time.. and I promise the wait wont be as long!

Great Day!
In life we get caught up in going through the day to day "motions",, and sometimes we forget what its like to actually have a good day. My day was rather simple, but it was so GOOD! And it feels soo Good to say that!
I feel so un-stressed and just generally positive and happy. I got alot accomplished this weekend and talked with a few of my friends and spent time with some of my family and I'm am feeling so blessed and at peace. God was truly smiling on me today and I hope that I can share some of this joy with others throughout the week !
I posted of pic of me not only because I felt great, but because i am 2 and a half weeks into my yarn braids! I expected to like them.. but I didn't think i would love them this much! They have loosen up quite a bit and the length did grow on me, its very a very mature length but it can be styled in many different ways which I love. I haven't washed them yet, but I have been moisturizing my hair with the water an conditioner mix n my spray bottle. Which I do about every other day and the braids only get moderately damp , so I'm curious how fully wet yarns brads will look and feel after a wash
Well I'm going to end my great day with a great night. Cuddle up to the Hubs and drift off to dream land...
Later Blurbers!

Challenge - Bikini
That's right.. you see it ...its a BIKINI and it is my summer 2012 challenge. I have never in my life worn or owned a bikini! Nor have I had the physical physique, to be so bold as to, bare my naked midsection in public. LOL
I am losing "inches" during my Zumba workouts, but now its time to kick it up if I plan to wear this LITTLE ditty by the end of June. I have 3 months to trim, tone , and sculpt my midsection into some form of physical amazing-ness that a woman wearing this type bathing suit should have.
Mind you, I am still a little skeptical about this being do able by June, but the Hubs seems to have faith that I can do it, so I'm going to give it my best shot! I'm giving up all the junk food, diet sodas (artificial sweeteners cause bloating), sweets, salt (also causes bloating). and anything else that will make me look bad in my new suit.. I am also going to boost my work out regime with short runs before and after Zumba.
The hubs is doing the Insanity work out and I don't know if I can do that quite yet.. But if I have to get a little Insane too, to look good.. I'm willing to try..LOL
Needless to say the next 3 months will be very interesting .. but at least the swim suit is cute right.. LOL
