Hobby time....

I do not want to be a professional at this sorta hobby I would like to do but i do want to learn and do it on the side for family and close friends. 

PHOTOGRAPHY! :)

I love taking pictures, always taking them. Just off my phone mainly, but we almost invested in a nice camera at Christmas time with the awesome specials. Life happened and we just couldn't at the time, but i believe i can invest in a camera soon and then invest in a Photoshop software. I will not take anyone's business away nor will I be the greatest out there, but why not try out a hobby I already love. Only bad thing is, i know a ton of people that wont share or help a gal out. So i gotta figure everything out on my own. I don't really want a full time job right now, so photography could be a little side job along with a part time job i hope to find once we move. I seem to get a lot of views but no one follows me, SOO any advice please feel free to contact me. My goal is to invest in a camera and practice and learn how to use my camera and etc. I will practice on the beautiful outside and probably Delaney before i branch out to my family and close friends!

And this just lets you know a little more about me, i like taking pictures, i like photography, i like to be creative without having to be center of attention, i am a shy shy person!

Goodnight. I am done blogging for the night!

XoXo!

snow snow go away...

I blame my family for bringing me to this crazy indiana state where weather is ALWAYS crazy. We are under a winter advisory with lots of snow still falling and now under a travel advisory. Then this weekend it should be in the mid 50's, lol. See? Crazy Indiana weather! I personally cannot wait for warm weather, means more time outside, bonfires friends over for a cook out, playing outside with Delaney and warm SUNSHINE. We've been cooped up for too long, its time for spring! The weather kept changing, it started with lots of rain, then sleeting, and now snow and apparently we could get up to 9 inches. So guess there will be lots of places closed tomorrow and people staying home. I already planned on staying home. I will be doing my usual, getting some homework done and watching TV. I need to clean up our bedroom and put clothes away also. I lead a very exciting life. We will get outta the house this weekend, well me anyways, Tevis has been out today and yesterday. Now that he can drive again he is glad he doesn't have to depend on me to get places. As you read my blogs you will hear about tevis' daughter, Delaney, a few weeks ago i took a picture of them too and thought i'd share ....

Aren't they just too cute, hehe. Couple of my favorite people on this planet! It is hard to believe I only met Delaney when she was 5, she had just turned 5 basically, was short and little chunky monkey, and now she is going to be SEVEN years old at the end of march and is growing taller and thinner everyday. I am so glad she is apart of my life now. I love Delaney and Tevis so much. They are my little family, and i pray and hope we can add to our family one day.

SO this is Erica Nicole...my best friend since middle school. Just like any friendship, people grow up and apart. The cool thing about us, is we've been through so much that god lead us back together because our friendship is just that great. We are so different and so alike that we just work. We can be honest and open with each other and wont offend one another. Even if we went days, weeks, months, or years without talking that didn't matter and our friendship meant more then whatever happened to us when we didn't speak. Life is so precious and having people on our side is all we need. We need people who are positive, caring, nice, supportive, and will never make anyone choose sides for ANYTHING. We treat each other like we would want to be treated, and even though we are hours apart from each other there is NOT a day where we don't talk, and we make it our goal to see each other when i am home even if its 20 minutes. You don't just throw a friendship like ours away, and no matter what I've done to said in the past I know Erica is always there for me. She doesn't judge me on my life now or what I've done in my past she loves me for me and wouldn't have a bad thing to say about me. So if you looking for a true honest person, then talk to Erica...you'll see why we've been friends since middle school and will continue to be friends until we take our last breathe! I have a soft spot in my heart for that girl, as tevis would say, and she will always be apart of my life and my family. No matter what happens!

I hope everyone in Indiana stays safe and drives safe, winter is a crappy season. I hate driving in this kind of weather and that's why we will probably def. stay home tomorrow. I am so glad i can blog and let out what i am feeling and etc, makes me feel better. I hope you enjoy reading my blabber because it wont ever stop. Now time to fire up my DVR and watch some shows. :) Happy tuesday ya'll! XoXo!

I believe i am lucky...

As much negative things happen in my life, positive things out weight the negative and positive things happen just at the right time. I truly believe i am a lucky girl even though i have my down moments. I thought i would write this post to tell more about Tevis and I and catch up on our lives a little bit.

Last friday tevis had another eye appointment, he was prepared for shots in the eye again and i was praying for good news for once. Many people don't know, but Tevis developed Diabetic Retinapothy we discovered this back in November. Which is where his blood sugar was uncontrolled for so long that his eyes were suffering because of it and they hemorrhaged, his eyes were bleeding and that's why his vision was going down hill. We were at his VERY FIRST appointment and the doctor was so scared he would go blind they did laser surgery on both eyes that same day, they don't usually do both eyes either because its very painful. Tevis left in tears it hurt so bad. He was told to not drive and just to keep his blood sugar under control which it was, his eyes got bad because all the previous years not knowing he was a diabetic. His eyes were in bad shape, so about a month later he had another appointment and this time still no improvement eyes were still bleeding, so they gave him shots in both eyes. HE WAS SO SCARED FOR THIS. he was about to leave i thought i was going to have to sit on him to make him stay there, luckily the lady calmed him down and after it was all said and done he said he would do injections every day compared to laser surgery. That was right before Christmas well he had another appointment in January but had the Flu so he to reschedule it. So last Friday we has his appointment finally, i was praying so hard for some good news for once. Good news is, he was cleared to drive his eyes are slowly improving and his vision is basically back to normal. He is outta the woods for major eye surgery and although his eyes still aren't 100% we were just glad to hear some improvement. He got another round of injections so get rid of more old blood. He isn't scared of those anymore, thankful. He has another appointment and they may want to do laser, but we will see. He drove for the first time yesterday with me in the car, i was SO EXCITED not to drive(he hates my driving) and today he drove to go to work for a couple hours by himself today. Wahooo! I am so thankful and lucky he is getting better. 

So we have been living together for a year now, but never in our own house! I am more then ready to be in our own place. When i moved down here we lived with his parents then when tevis was able to walk again on a prosthetic, we decided to move in with his roommate where was he staying at before he got sick, we missed our big king size bed lol. We have been living here since June. Our goal is to be moving sometime over the summer into Tevis' house in Greenwood where his sister is at the moment renting from him. Its a great 3 bedroom 2 bath open house in a great housing addition. Has a two car garage awesome big fenced in backyard with room for pool maybe one day hehe. Has an awesome swing set nice deck. I just dream of us having people over and our dog and Delaney playing in the back yard. I cant wait to move, and surprise Delaney with her new/old room. I will be excited to finally have our own parties, have my family and friends come stay and just be a normal couple living together. I hope nothing else goes wrong and god will allow us to finally have what we want. In October we will have been together for 3 years and we so deserve good things to start happening.

Hope you have enjoyed getting to know us a little more and catching up on our life. See ya next time :) xoxoxoxxoxo

Life is precious...

We have a normal day last Thursday, we had some running around to do in Greenwood. When we finally got home tevis needed a little nap he had walked too much, he was sleeping maybe an hour while i was working on some HW. His phone kept going off like crazy(this was around 7pm) so he finally turned over to look at it and we got some bad news :( Our friend Travis was rushed to the hospital with congestive heart failure. He was at home when his left arm and leg went numb, couldn't breathe and had chest pain. So we are trying to figure out where he is exactly at and how he is doing. All we knew was he had a lot of fluid around his lungs and heart, his heart was pumping like it should and nothing was working. I had a bad feeling he wouldn't make it through the night, and mind you, he is ONLY 23 years old!!!! So young to be dealing with this. I knew Tevis was worried and wouldn't be able to sleep anyhow so at midnight we made the decision to go see him and was at the hospital until 4am. He was still in the ER waiting for an ICU room. We haven't seen Travis in awhile because basically he has been sick and not feeling well for so long he has been up to doing anything, going to doctor after doctor and they cant figure him out. He looked TERRIBLE. he was so white, and he was skin and bones. He has lost so much weight from being so sick. I'd say Friday was probably his worst day so far...blood pressure through the roof heart rate pretty high and of course he still cant breathe very well. So now its Friday or Saturday and all we know is..he has swollen lymph nodes in his abdomen, his kidneys weren't doing the greatest and of course they had now started getting fluid out of his lungs. They ended up putting a central line in and put him on breathing treatments. I guess with it being the weekend they just wanted to keep him Stable. So now its Monday..and they are gonna focus on why he has so much lower back pain and focus on his kidneys and stomach right now. He is getting some MRI's done and X-rays and will probably have a Bone marrow test done too. He will eventually need a heart cath once they know a little more. He cant lay flat yet with all the fluid so they haven't been able to do much. After we dropped off Delaney at her moms, we decided to go back and see Travis last night. He looks so much better and they got almost 18lbs of fluid off his lungs so he could breathe and talk better. It was very reassuring for us to see him doing little better, he is NO WHERE outta the woods yet, but he is stable and they will get some answers this week we hope!! Travis and Tevis are very close, and Travis looked to Tevis as a dad figure so this really has Tevis a basket case. So anyone who reads this..please please send our friend prayers. He needs them!!

& remember that life is precious and your health is nothing to mess around with! Get the help you need and be healthy.
