I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things . I consider them rubbish, that i may gain Christ. Philippians 3:8

Hey Ya'll!


Don't be jealous now! Yes, yes rub your eyes you are seeing correctly. I met Paula Deen!!!! ahh! love her! Even better it was by chance or lets say God ordained.(thank you my Jesus.) He knows my hearts desires. Well.. the story is that we had a lovely Thanksgiving visit with Ryans parents over here. We took them to the enchantingly beautiful city of Williamsburg so they could marinate in the warm autumn colors. Meema and I went into this cutesy childrens boutique and I turn to see where Meems was I then took a double look cause I was like I know that lady from somewhere??? Hum... Oh Lordy bee it was Paula Deen shopping too! Trying to not make a serious fool of my self I said to Meems "thaat is Paaula Deeen" quietly to her. She said I know I was talking to her too. I quickly jumped at a once in a lifetime chance and we thought of a plan to get our picture taken with her. You know there is no shame when you have one shot at getting this you have to take action fast. Of course we asked her permission to get a picture with her and she says "of course honey I will". As you can see I was so giddy that I have the wedding day smile plastered all across my face. She even said to me "you have the most beautiful hair" oh my gersh, and of course me and my goofyness said "oh, thank you I just washed it" ugh! What was I thinking, I wasn't thinking I was just so happy to see her. By the way she is so pretty in person her eyes are yes really that blue. She is almost like Mrs.Clause Dillon said. Well to say the least I have never met any celebrities but, I am glad the first one I did was someone I liked. The rest of the day was so bubbly and fun because of that. I am so glad that Meems and I got to share that moment together. Thanks Ya'll!

An Award for Respect!

Well... As I stand here with my smile and heart as big as the ocean. I am the proud "mama" of a son who was awarded for his respect. Dillon received a medal and certificate in a ceremony in school today for being a citizen of the month. The school chooses a character trait for each month and the teachers of each class have to choose a student who amplifies that character.
November was the month for respect and Dillon was chosen. We are so proud of you my love to God be the glory.

As you can see Dillon is the one in the Dilontastic fancy handsome outfit.(of course). Thank you Meema.


Mrs Pulley the school counselor was giving Dillon his award as she is telling the reasons why the teacher chose him. The smile on his face was so big.


Mrs.Johnson the school principal gave Dillon his medal of respect.

Mrs Tereska Dillons teacher . Love her! Love her! what a blessing she has been. It is so important to understand that God sometimes dose not give us what we ask for because He has something better. Way to go Dillon we love you and very proud of your character.
