Mella...I've been married to Brandon since Aug 2001. Together we have 3 handsome sons Christian Jeremiah, Nehemiah Joel, and Ezekiel Jude. We also have my step-daughter Alexis,although we don't use that term in our home... I'm a follower of Christ and I am humbled that he cares for me. I matter to the creator of the universe...WOW! Amazing love indeed! So yeah, I'm a Christian, wife, mom, sister, friend..but I'm so much more than that...stick around...you'll see...

"You experience panic, confusion, and helplessness when under pressure or stress."

This is a quote from a very accurate personality test I took this week and I am here to tell you I am feeling all of that! All of it. In addition, Zekie saw fit to give my beloved PINK Blackberry a juice bath yesterday. I can't tell you how sad I am over it...I know it's a phone and worse things, have, can and probably will happen..... but last night I was reduced to tears over it..... it's also the end of the month and I'm already 85% irritated and irrational right now okay?!?! So Brandon is giving me his NEW BB Curve and he is going back to his NV. I'm very grateful, he was very helpful switching phones over and SO WILLING to just hand over his brand spanking new phone since I need the BB for work and email and all that jazz, and kind to me last night even though I was mad as a hippo with a hernia. Poor guy. I'll have to tell him how much I appreciate him later...

I took one aspect of my practical midterm last night on a relaxer and I did well on it...happy dance. Tomorrow we have a model coming in for facials and I plan to midterm in that area as well..hope it goes great!

I have a ton on my mind right now, so I will be ye farewell..

Smallville tonight...OH YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!

Love you, mean it.

CIAO!

Well Hello

It's a beautiful day in the neighboorhood. Yes indeed!

Have you ever needed something very bad even if you weren't quite sure how bad and finally get it? That happened to me yesterday and I can say I am very very happy it did. God is good. Everything that works out in His timing is best. Thank you Jesus.

Brandon started BlueCross BlueShield yesterday. He called me to tell me that they have Wii's in the breakroom...guess they want happy relaxed employees. I'm sure that's exactly what they'll get in Brandon Westmoreland + Wii. I'm just VERY glad that he is out of that shark tank at Allstate!

We are preparing to move the other side of town (read 4 mins away and "over the river") next Friday and not a single thing is in a single box. Yes, I said next Friday. Don't judge me. I already am almost in a panic over it. How to pack when I am gone from 9am-9 pm 4 days a week, host a community group, school 8-5 on Saturday and church 9-12 on Sundays? Yeah, let's just say I haven't mastered the art of figuring THAT out! LOL. We only just decided to move so it's not like I've known forever and just have waited until the last minute. Right? Don't judge me. :P I am very excited however to move...I already LOVE the house and the kitchen?? mmm mmm mmm mmm good!!

School is going GREAT! I have 505 hours left as of yesterday. As I am independently studying some subjects as well as participating in my current load, it gets a bit tough @ times...but I have my eye on the prize! February...come QUICKLY!!!

Today is the first day of Autumn! That means a cool breeze, yellow and red leaves, and Pumpkin Festivals, Farmer's Markets and great outdoor family time. Hoping to get PLENTY of that before the snow hits....because it snows here....where I have now lived for over a year...in Illinois.

All the children are doing well...back in the routine of school and homework. Pumpkin Pie and Nemo are feeling a bit under the weather but I'm not able to attribute it to anything yet. I thought allergies, but then Pumpkin Pie felt a bit warm this morning, but he hasn't at all today. Needless to say, keeping an eye on them.


Well, it's time for me to get to acting like a student again and get some studying done.

Love you, mean it.

Ciao!

I have absolutely ZERO motivation to do or go anywhere today...but alas I have things on my plate and so I shall. That's really all right now. I'm still not feeling to hot.
