Curly or Straight??

My Hair is pretty thick and it is also very wavy. Sometimes, depending on how I style it , It can look down right curly. Lately I've been wearing it straight. I never bothered with straightening it before because it was just so much of a hassle (the right straightening product makes a huge difference). The catch is I don't have a straightener. I ues my curling iron. Yes that's right, my curling iron. I take my curling iron hold it at the base of my hair (little sections) near my scalp and slowly move it up towards the end of the hair. Making sure to constantly keep it moving.


 Well now over at Something to Talk About,  there is a really cool giveaway for a Karmin G3 Salon Pro Hair Styling Iron. ($130 dollar value) It straightens and I think it curls too.  How cool, (or should I say HOT) is that?

Today turned out to be such a Nasty Day. The kind of day that you just want to stay inside, curled up on the couch with a good (nook)book or with the family watching movies. I did run to the bank and to get cat food this morning before it actually started getting bad. (our cat has to have a special prescription food that we can only get from the vet, that's a whole other post)

Well Ken unfortunately, had to go in to work this afternoon. He is working the 3 to 11 shift. As he was leaving, the wind was blowing and the rain was coming down hard. I just kept thinking "Man I wish he didn't have to go out in this"

Within the half hour, Tanner looked out the front window and saw that our basketball net had been blown over. It had blown over into the driveway, Right where Ken's Car had been less than a half hour earlier.





 We had this thing filled with water as well as staked in to the ground for support and it still blew over. (first time in 2 years). I think we may have been replacing a windshield if Ken wasn't working this evening.

Isn't the way God works just Awesome. Some may just chalk it up to coincidence or luck but I know that there have been too many close calls, near misses and WOWS, in my life to know that A higher power, Much Greater than myself or anything else on this earth was looking out for myself and my family.
Coincidence?? Luck??  I think not, but a God that loves us so much that he gave his only son for our Salvation ?  ABSOLUTELY !!!!

Good Friends

When we lived in our Town House We had some really great neighbors. Several of us in the same unit ( and some that were in other units close by) were more than just neighbors . We formed really great friendships with each other, like more of a family than a community. The one thing that I really miss from that neighborhood is our friends. Even though we all don't live in the same neighborhood anymore, we still try and keep in touch and get together every so often. (but not as much as I'd like)



One of the Families that we grew close to, moved down south to North Carolina. They were originally from parts of VA I believe. They were (and still are) your true definition of Southern hospitality. Brandy and Kevin and their kids became family. They took care of our boys when we had to travel for my sister in laws funeral and were just always willing to help out when ever you needed it.


We did get to go down to NC and visit them a while ago. That was really nice to spend time with them. Then 3 years ago we were going to go down and visit again, but that's when Jordan had to have his surgery, so we had to change our plans.

On Sunday, I got a text from our friend Brandy. She said Kevin was in DE for his Job. He was going to be up for a few days and she said that he would Love to see us while he was here. So, I got a hold of him and he came for Dinner this evening. It was really great to see him . I just wish that Brandy and the kids were with him. He asked when we were planning on coming back down.  Time off and  schedule co ordination is the problem .We would love to do it, maybe sometime soon.


I'm so glad that even though they are so far away we have managed to still keep in touch. It can be hard enough even when you are close to someone. We have truly been blessed with all of the friends that have come in to our lives and are very thankful .
