Happy LOVE Day! 

As Hallmark says...It's not I love you day, It's I love US day! 

Today was beautiful. 

Clothes were fancy.

Dinner was perfect. 

Gifts were heartfelt and filled with love.

Dessert was heavenly.

"I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I've ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, everyday we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours. " 

I love you always and forever Love Bug! So happy to be on this journey called life...with YOU! 

TAKS is Near...

My door for testing "season"

Our little motto for TAKS this year is Just Do It, with a symbol that looks a lot like Nike's swoosh...but it TOTALLY isn't...riiiiiight. LOL. Yep, it's that time of year...The good news is it's the last year for TAKS. Bad news...the test STARR will be more "rigorous" next year. {Womp, Womp} We're facing the biggest budget cuts in state history, but don't worry...we can afford a multi-million dollar brand new test. Does something seem wrong here?!?

What I'm Loving Wednesday

{one}

I'm Loving.... God! He is simply amazing. We have been praying so hard for good news on my dad AND my uncles CT scans. Monday, I found out that my dad's scans were completely clear. No cancer at all! PRAISE THE LORD! And then if things couldn't get any better, my uncle Sid who is battling stage 4 brain/ lung cancer had his CT scans and found out yesterday that his scans from the neck down were CLEAR! His doctor said he must be "special" because his stage 4 cancer should NOT have a clear scan twice in a row. Well, of course it should...God is busy at work in both of these guys! Can I get an AMEN?!? 

{two}

I'm Loving.... This song. We've been singing it at church a lot lately and it's sooo true! If this week isn't proof, I don't know what is!

{three}

I'm NOT Loving.... Cancer. It SUCKS!

{four}

I'm Loving.... This poem my aunt posted today. I hope anyone who has had to experience this STUPID disease will love this too!

WHAT CANCER CANNOT DO

Cancer is so limiting………

It cannot cripple love

It cannot shatter hope

It cannot corrode faith

It cannot destroy peace

It cannot kill friendship

It cannot suppress memories

It cannot silence courage

It cannot steal eternal life

IT CANNOT CONQUER THE SPIRIT!

Dry Shampoo

Today on Kelly's post she talked about Dry Shampoo and it sparked my interest.

For those of you who don’t know, dry shampoo is a powder, usually in a spray can, that absorbs oil in your hair and leaves a fresh scent. It gets rid of greasy “second day” hair, adds volume, and makes hair look and smell fresh and clean, minus the need for water.

Has anyone ever tried it? I am very interested in finding out. I have to wash my hair everyday. I always have. {unless I keep it in a ponytail...then I'm fine} I have always been so jealous of BOTH of my sisters who wash their hair every 2-3 days. Ugh! If you use this stuff...PLEASE let me know if you love it or not. What brand do you like best? Does it REALLY make your hair look the same as if you just washed it? So curious...

I took the liberty of surfing the net to get some reviews. Lucky for us, they give Ratings and Reviews! :)

Super Bowl Sunday

As you may have expected, I'm a little heartbroken at the moment.
We just didn't play well tonight.
I feel like my whole life lately has been consumed by the Super Bowl,
so tomorrow it's back to reality.
Womp, womp {shout out, Nat}
Thought I'd leave you with some pictures of Super Bowl Week.

The street in front of the stadium. It was AH-Mazing!

ESPN was broadcasting from Sundance Square. We went up there a few times. One of us actually got on ESPN...but it wasn't me. :(

The streets of Fort Worth...at 2 o'clock in the morning. 

The Steeler Nation does not sleep. 

Totally stealing this from Fox 4 News:
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of Super Bowl XVL

The Good: Fans did not have to dodge falling ice
The Bad: A lot of fans think Jerry and the NFL dropped the ball. The had a ticket, got to the game and found out they didn't have a seat {smh...}
The Ugly: Christina Aguilera fumbles the National Anthem

V-DAY is ME-DAY

In the spirit of the "Love Month" I thought I'd list a few gift ideas. Since I am pretty sure that there are no men stalking following me, (except my dad and Sey of course) I thought I'd make a list of things that you may want to hint to your boyfriend, husband, man of the month, best friend...you get the picture. Boys, if you're reading...take notes.
