One day I walked to Ikea. It was about 2/3 miles from where my brother lives. I was kinda a tough walk but hey you gotta do what you gotta do.
This view made me think I was at home for a second.

CYCY's 10th Birthday PARTAYYY
Tuesday, August 2
Hot dang! Thank God for the down pour that occurred right before her party. Despite me running around like a sweaty chicken everything turned out beautiful, minus our air being worked on while we were shin-digging. Thank you Freddie
Shout out to ET for being superwoman, Amy for her baking skills, kindness, and knowledge, Latoya for being a wizard with the scissors, and Taijah for packing the goodies.
Thanks team !
Project Pinterst: Lemonade stand
Monday, August 1
Yall I can't even tell y'all how good my friends are. So a month before Cycys birthday I was creeping through Pinterest and got the idea for this garden party. Along with that I decided I needed to have a lemonade stand. It looks easy to build and super cute. I just knew I could have years of fun with it. I sent some pictures out to a couple of friends and soon after I got a call from Amy . She was like Girl I got you covered. I have that Lemonade stand in my back yard come get it.
And I did.
Thank you Amy for saving me from purchasing wood, screws and dealing with JMN.
Naturally it decided to rain several days leading up to the party. So I got to use one of JMNs
toys and pressure washed it. Then I spray painted with some olive green hoping that it would darken the grey that I had left over from painting our master bedroom.
After this photo I painted it a couple more times .
Stay tuned for the finishing project!
Austin, TX: Alamo Sing along
Friday, July 29
My first night back in Austin Creep took me to this awesome movie theater where we could eat food, dance, and sing along to the screen of our favorite 90s music. 2 hours just wasn't enough. I really could have sat there for another 2 hours and probably wouldn't have even noticed it.
Our host was amazing. She was dressed up like a Spice Girl down to the platform shoes.
When we walked in they gave us a a balloon, braided clip , a flash light, and blow up microphone. We ordered a pitcher of Sangria and a cookie plate. This experience was soon much fun! To top it off they are having a Kanye West night. Unfortunately Austin is just too far for me to travel at a drop of a dime.
If you are near an Alamo theater check it out !

Monday, July 25
I saw this theme on Chia's Blog, y'all should check her out she's awesome. So I decided to participate.
1. I'm the youngest of 3 kids on my mothers side. I have two older brothers. Nicholas or Nick as I called him passed away when he was around 29-30. I was in the 9th grade. And Richard who I call Pighead is 37.
2. If I could I would remodel homes in poor areas. This is my ultimate life career dream.
3. I love the country life. I want to build a house and live on a farm. Chickens everywhere!
4. Mascara and Lipstick is my absolute favorites. I prefer red lipstick. Rimmel and Loreal are my favorite brands.
5. I wear a size 12w in shoes. So as you can imagine finding shoes is a struggle. When I was a kid my grandmother use to tell me all the time that running outside barefoot was going to make it hard for me to find shoes. Sure enough thats what happened. Thank God for Payless.
6. I'm lacking 10 states from visiting every state in the United States.
7. Baby pink was a favorite color growing up.
8. Seattle Washington is like my second home. Since age 7, I've gone there twice a year until age 21.
9. I have two official God children. Aniya Carlee & Christian Amarion and they are less than a month apart.
10. I've known that I was going to foster/adopt since age 10.

I was so inspired by Shonda's 2014's Dartmouth's Commencement speech. Shonda inserted her speech into the audio version of her book Year of Yes, I wanted to share it with all of my creepers. I hope y'all enjoy it. Let me know what you think.
