Hello! I'm Back!

Howdy peeps!  Yes, I have returned to the blogosphere:)  Well, actually, we got back online on June 16th....ahem, anyways.
I am soooo amped because my second cousin is going to take me to an opera!!!!!  
The day before yesterday, Mommy and I went shopping to buy me a new outfit (well, actually, Memaw is buying it, she's going to give us the money later, she's soooo sweet!!!).  We found a totally cute black skirt (the first item of black clothing I own, lol) that has gold and silver around the bottom (whenever we get me a new camera I'll put pictures up on here wearing the full ensemble), cute black sandals, and a cream color scarf with silver specks in it!  Tomorrow, Lord willing, we're going to go look for a top to complete the ensemble:)  
So, when we were at the mall (we hate our mall, by the way, but go there if we absolutely have to), I saw all these girls hanging out with their friends and whatnot while it was just Mommy and me.  Honestly, I would much rather go shopping with my Mommy than anyone else, if someday, I was to go shopping with friends, I would still want my Mommy to come and their Mom's too.  I just don't understand why girls would choose friends over their own Mother's.  My Mommy and I are best friends and love doing everything together!  There are only 3 exceptions I make of who else I could shop with being: my Memaw (Mommy's Mommy), my Aunt Nana (Mommy's little sister) and my cousin Rachel (Daddy's niece).  
Yes, I'm 20 years old and STILL grab my Mommy's hand when we go places.  Laugh if you want, but that's just how close we are.  (I hold my Daddy's hand too when he and I go places).  
I know that someday, I'll have to go places on my own (like when I get married and my hubby is at work) but I'm going to enjoy the time God has blessed me with now to spend as much time with my Mommy as possible because she's my very best friend and I thank God for her always.  She and I have never fought, there was never a reason for it.
She's such a wonderful example of God's Love and I can only hope to one day be at least half as awesome as she is.  
She's totally the best Mommy in the whole world!  
I guess one could say, I kind of have two Mommys though because I feel the same way about my Memaw.  She, too, is a wonderful example of God's Love and I love spending time with her as much as possible.  We're hoping to start up our painting lessons again soon for we both miss them so much!   I am so much like my Mommy and Memaw and I love that!  Being like them is like being like angels:)  God has truly blessed me with the best ladies that I can look up to.  They're both always there for me and are such blessings.  I could never ask for better examples of God's Love, for they are the only ones.
Well, I've just thought of another lady that I love spending time with, my second cousin, Della, who is taking me to the opera:)  She, too, is a wonderful example of God's Love...and she is another exception of who else I could go places with;)
We've only spent time together, just the two of us, once.  Several weeks ago, when I helped her clean her house (which was a BLAST!) and that's when we discovered we both love opera and Ballet.  She's been to some before and she told me that sometimes she will take me.  She gets free or really good discounts on tickets sometimes.  I was so amped when she e-mailed me and told me about the opera and invited me to come!  We're both so looking forward to it!  My Memaw said that her sister (Della's aunts) said, Della called her and was talking about the two of us going to the opera and said that she sounded as excited as a little girl:)  That made me feel good that she would be so excited about spending time with me.


Today, I'm taking care of my 'invalids' (as I called them on Facebook;)).  Mommy has Strep and Chris has a headache:(  Of course, I want them to feel better, but I like taking care of them:)
I'm also hoping to get a few things done today, Lord willing, so we'll see how that goes.


My bff and 'sis', Monica, is getting married on the 17th but unfortunately, we will not be able to make it.  I was heartbroken when Mommy told me.  I couldn't bring myself to call Monica because I was so afraid she would be mad at me but I knew I had to tell her soon.  
The other night, I texted her and asked her if when she has awhile to talk she would call me.  So she called me later that night and I told her we weren't able to go and that I was afraid she would be mad at me.  Guess what??  She wasn't, she totally understood.  Yeah, she's awesome:)  She had told me before in an e-mail that she was thinking after they got married, I could come up and stay with them sometimes over a weekend so hopefully I'll be able to do that sometime this year, Lord willing.  


Anyways, before I go I would like to share with you this disturbing video of Manchester United players doing aerobics:  Enjoy!





God bless and keep you!  Grace be with you all!
