Proud to be an American

I love the fourth of July!🎇 It has always been one of my favorite holidays. I enjoy going to the parades, barbeque's, watching fireworks and spending time with family and friends. Unfortunately David had to work this year so I had to go to all of the activities solo. I still had a good time I just wish he could've been there to enjoy it all too. I went to a parade with my sister-in-laws family and my in-laws which was super fun! After the parade we went back to my sister-in-laws house for a barbecue, and David's grandma ended up coming over. It was great to catch up with everyone, I haven't seen them in a while so it was nice to see all of them.















After that I went over to my sister's house and spent the rest of the day with her family. I had a ton of fun there with them as well as I always do. We ate more food, the kids swam in the pool, we all chit-chatted and watched fireworks all while trying not to get caught on fire from my sister's neighbors fireworks. We all lived so it's good. During the fireworks we decided to turn on some music so the kids could have a dance party. We put on a Beach Boys mix I mean you can't get more American than that am I right?













It was such a great day, it kind of makes me sad to see this holiday over, but there is always next year!!

Thought for the day

“Just when the caterpillar thought the world was ending, he turned into a butterfly.” (Proverb) I came across this quote on Pinterest and suddenly loved it. I think it's so great and has such a good meaning behind it. I feel like it fits me well with where I'm at right now. I have grown so much over this past year. With starting a healthier lifestyle and taking more time to care for myself I have gained a confidence and happiness with myself that I haven't had in such a long time. I have found that if I'm not truly happy with myself I can't make the people around me happy. I have also found that I need to love myself the way I am and to be proud of myself for all of my accomplishments. #learningtolovemyselfagain  #loveyourcurves

Things I do to cheer myself up when I'm feeling down

Over the years I have had to find ways to cheer myself up if I'm ever feeling low. As I think we all have had to do. Here is a list of some of my favorite things to do. ♬ I will usually listen to music. Listening to the right songs can put you in such a better mood and even bring back a whole bunch of memories. I love music and always have it on. ♣♤ Another thing I like to do that will always cheer me up is playing games. I love to play all kinds of games. Card games, board games, anything really. ☏ If I'm ever down I can always call my mom and talk to her she always knows what to say to put me in a good mood and make me feel better. Or I can text my dad and talk to him. I also have several cousins and friends that I can call or text to help brighten up my day. I am so grateful to have them in my life and that I have such a good relationship with all of them. ✄🎨 I love to do crafts and being able to do a craft and use your creativity and imagination is so soothing an...

Staying strong in hard times....

This week has been very challenging for me. I have had to make some tough decisions. I have learned that I can stand up for myself and that I need to stand up for myself. I have always had a hard time standing up for myself, I have always felt like I can't do anything on my own and that I need the help from other people.  Although for the past few weeks I have realized that I need to be able to be on my own and not feel like I can't do anything without the help of other people. I have always been a people pleaser and I know that I need to do what is best for me. I always feel like I have to put my best face forward and try to hide my real feelings from the world. But you can only take so much before it becomes too draining on your soul and mental state.  I have had to do a lot of soul searching and I feel like I have grown. Sometimes what we think is the best thing for us turns out to be a stepping stone in becoming the best person you can be. I do know that wit...
