It's me, Charity

1. I put my tree up tonight. Yes, I know it's only Nov 4, but I am busy the next two weekends and want it up before I leave for Thanksgiving. 2. I am almost all done with my Christmas shopping!!!!! I have a few more things to purchase and I'm making several presents but they are almost ready! Yays!! 3. Yes, I really do LOVE Christmas, why do you ask????? ;) 4. I finally ordered some new prints of pictures so I can have something different in my picture frames. Great timing since most of my frames were put away tonight for the Christmas season. Way to plan Cherrybear, way to plan!! 5. I really need to renew my driver's license. Apparently you can do it online these days. I just don't want my picture changed since I have a nice smiling pic. 6. Yes I smile like a cheeseball in my driver's license pictures and NO i am NOT HAPPY that the new law says you can't smile because of the "face recognition" software. Try and recognize me without a smile on my face ...

In all honesty this semester has been a very hard and trying one for me. The month of October was particularly rough. I was hoping November would calm down a bit but it started off with a bang of a migraine. I can usually keep a good attitude of life, even when dealing with my health, but the constant sickness since August has really beat me down. With so many things to worry about it can get overwhelming and sometimes I wonder when it will all stop and slow down. I've been really trying to lean on God through this time, as he is the only one who can get me through it. Having chronic sickness can be very isolating, especially when you're single. It kind of strips you of everything and puts your total reliance on The Lord. I've been trying to memorize some scripture and read my Bible more to get some inspiration. When I was on fb someone had this as their status and it has become one of my new favorite verses. (in all honesty I get a new favorite verse almost everyday, there...

My Piano Students are constantly keeping me in stitches. I am never quite sure what is going to come out of their mouths. Every lesson they both say something that makes me laugh hysterically. It's definitely my favorite hour of the week! Little C informed me that I "talked for my fingers". I wasn't quite sure what that meant so I asked her for some clarification. She then informed me that since fingers cannot speak sometimes we have to speak for them and be their voices since they have no mouths and can only move. She then asked me if I had named my fingers. I had not. She has named her fingers though, and low and behold they are all twins. I thought that was brilliant, less names to remember. She told me her names and I had to write them down so I wouldn't forget their awesomeness, and of course share them with my faithful following. So Ladies and Gentlemen, please met Little C's Fingers (we'll start from the Pinky Finger and work our way in) Pinky Crois...

Just had to share my OOTD. I felt like I was *almost* stylish! Considering I try for cute but oh so rarely reach it, I was rather impressed with myself!

1. I had a really rough week. Thursday night I came home to the sweetest card from Mr. Caca (hubby to Caca one of my BFF's.) It literally made me cry. I love having such great friends, and serving such a great God that knew I needed some encouragement and love and had that card come to me right when I needed it. 2. It was 35 degrees this morning. brrrrrrrrr.. 3. I can't wait for it to be November and to go see my Snugglemuffin for Thanksgiving! I miss him sooo much! In his pictures he is turning more and more into a little boy and less of a baby. sniffles. 4. I can't wait to get my tree up and decorate for Christmas! I need to get the entertainment center and tv out of my bedroom so I can move my rocker in there and set up the tree in the living room. Yes I put my tree up before Thanksgiving (since i'm always gone) 5. I'm really struggling coming up with 7 things today. How sad is that?! I am also hungry .

I just can't get enough of this picture of my ADORABLE PRECIOUS Nephew!!! He is the cutest thing ever and brings so much joy to my heart!! 26 more days untill I see him!

Disclaimer- My camera hated me Saturday so All of the Pictures are from Emboz! Saturday Jboz got married!! It was a really sweet ceremony, I teared up but I did not cry! Bunna took care of that for all of us!! Jboz looked soooo pretty in her dress! But she is always beautiful!! I was so glad I was able to make it to her wedding! I think if I had been sick she would have came to my apt and drug me to the church :) The newly married couple arriving at the reception! It was at a camp in the woods and they had the lights down and candles lit on all of the tables, it was soooo romantic!! Here I am with my date-Madi!!!!! She was such a little ball of fluff in her big poofy dress! She was a little tired after all of the excitement so she was resting a little bit with Auntie Cherry. I got to watch her while Emboz went around taking pics and it was really fun! Worked out perfectly since I had went to the wedding alone and everyone I knew was in the party! Awww cuties!! Me and the gorgeous bride...
