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...

7 days, 5 exams, and 3 practicals

Away from graduating cosmetology school! The HEAT is on and I am feeling it. I am mentally and physically drained! This last month has taken a toll on me but I have my eye on the finish/beginning line. I see the tape and hear the gun all in one vision! So much of our lives is invested in this goal being accomplished and I cannot truly convey the excitement I have in putting this one in the record books. There is still the issue of me finding a job and securing childcare for Zekie, but I am learning that doubting God and his ability and willingness to care for me, is plain just getting old and is so not worth the effort. So in the words of Mary Mary(Can't believe I just said that)"I just can't give up now, I've come to far from where I started from, nobody told me the road would be easy and I don't believe he's brought me this far to leave me.". Going to unwind now.

Love you, mean it.

Ciao!

Wii blogging

Wowee Kazowe! this is so wicked awesome. Is it bad that I am too lazy to go to the office? I just had a super great Applebees 2 for 20 date night with my friend Laura. Talk about much needed talk time! I am really enjoying building a relationship with her! Had a really good day overall...not any complaints. Looking forward to being off school these next two days. Happy days!! Enough wii blogging for now. How boring is this post? Sorry!
Love you, mean it.

Well Okay then....

The house is quiet and I am taking a few moments to myself. YES! I'm sixteen(school) days away from graduating and excited doesn't even encompass truly how I feel! I am now among those who set AND accomplish goals! This journey began in Aug 2007 and was supposed to end the end of 2008. Well here we are Jan 2010! What a LONG road! This is the end. This is the beginning. This I didn't go through this process alone..I've had the support and patience of my husband and our children, friends and family who have babysat and offered encouragement and it wasn't all for nothing. THIS is HAPPENING!!! I'm a little apprehensive about entering the beauty industry or better yet just starting out at this point in my life...I go to school with teenagers and YOUNG 20 somethings...at times I feel like I waited too long to start and that there is no place for me in the field, but I'm not allowing myself to believe a word of it! I am VERY ready for this!

Perhaps I'll write more later...it's time to get in bed.

Love you mean it.

Ciao!
