I’ll start from the bottom and work my way to the top… Helped Garehime E.S. to achieve a Grant to build a structural memorial wall at their community park. Graduating High School before the rest of my class and finishing most of my associates degree credits during the most depressing times of my life. Losing over 50lbs by my own determination and goals. Being the youngest person in the state of Nevada to contribute to Senate Bill 140, which was passed and became a law opposing the use of electronic devices behind the wheel. Co-founding and speaking on behalf of a non-profit organization, later to create my own non-profit organization, later to work for a grief center and a traffic safety coalition before the age of 21.

We started the festivities days before hand on his actually birth day, 7-11... which reminds me, this year was the first year in the last 4, I haven't taken him to get a slurpee on his actual birthday :[… We got icecream cupcakes form Carvel instead!

15. If you were an animal, what would you be and why?

Image
I'd be a  Zorse aka The Zebrahorse Zorses are truly beautiful animals, as a matter of fact, within the last 10 years if you've asked me my favorite animal, it has always been a zorse. I fell in love with them the first time I ever saw one on television, I'd love to see one in person before I die, If I became oprah, and I have a daughter... I'd give her one instead of a pony! Zorses are awesome, and super rare... imagine breeding horses and zebra's good luck with that.. BUT it's possible... and man, isn't it beautiful.  A zorse is the offspring of a zebra stallion and a horse mare. ... oh, and it's awesome. The zorse is shaped more like a horse than a zebra, but has boldly striped legs and, often, stripes on the body or neck. if you didn't know they existed, welcome to my world. :]

Happy 21st Ashley!

Image
So, for Ashley's 21st birthday, (since she was the baby of the group) we all decided to go out and spend a couples night out together...  From left to right ( Drew & Capri - Dating) (Michael & Kristin - Married) (Dom & Ashley - Married) (Aaron & Jazz - Dating) (Robert & Janeth - Married) The only reason I gave a disclaimer, is because so often I speak of "our group" and our "husbands/boyfriends" going out or the "wives/girlfriends" are going out... and it'll get confusing THEREFORE... everyone is in this picture, aside from two.5 of our favorites... Tim, Kaelyn, and Nikita (who are married, with a honey bun, out of the oven <3) ha! Anywho... we started the evening at... This awesome hip, trendy joint in Tivoli Village, actually a comfortable, modernized diner… Drew’s mom brought us here after my 21 st birthday, so we figured… it’d be a great place to bring all of our friends, (since they love trying new th...

Happy Anniversary...How we saved our future marriage, before we were even engaged

Image
Today is our... 15 Month anniversary, (whoot) I figure I'll share some secrets to our success, because it wasn't easy... we admitted we needed help, and if you seek, you will find! preface... Drew and I have an incredible church family, we speak and arrange meetings with our pastoral staff, WEEKLY and when I say that, every staff member at our church knows us by name, face, and memory and we seek advice from them and they have wrapped their arms around us in more ways than we could ever express, we literally have found a church that we consider god sent... we looked around for this closeness... it wasn't found in our average groups of friends from adolescence, or our jobs... even our neighborhoods... we found this love at Grace Point , and as long as we live in this city... we will never leave. (nope, I never get sick of talking about our church... ever) If you are; dating anyone seriously, ever have considered being married, are happily or unhappily married, hav...

10 people who have influenced me… and their descriptions (UBER long) Alicia Barnes-  Mom, I'd never believe through all the hard things I've been through, You've been through, I've put our family through, that you'd ever find it in your heart to continue treating me like the angel you asked for, I know my health has been nothing but a worry since day one and my Conceit has scared you since I learned to flip my hair and snap my fingers, though I want you to know, forever you'll always be the best mother any girl's been given, The shopping sprees, the birthday parties, Homecoming functions, the get together last minute functions, You've done so much for me… not even could I marry a republican and be able to repay you.
