the land of cleves

I’m just chillen, really... listening to this mix I made this morning and sipping on some coffee. I feel good. I must say. I'll feel even better when John gets home from work :) We spent all weekend apart once again due to the fact that I went to Cleveland to see the fam.

I saw mommy and daddy and my big sis aaaand my little brother and my niece aaaand my other brother.... it was perfect!

I missed them all soo much. I also got to see my dad in action on his campaign trail. He's running for judge of Cleveland. I’m proud of him :) He's so passionate. I love that about my dad. He's a passionate, hardworking, selfless man. I would love to be more like him. I love 'em.

Anyways, before I went to Cleveland I had two photo shoots on Friday. The first one was on the beach. I shot with this photographer named Anessa Woods (she's the chick that owns Bustown Modern). It was me and another model, Meghan. We looked hott! Decked out in swim suits and furs! lol I can't to see how the images came out. Hopefully I can post them on here soon. I went from the beach back home for two whole seconds to grab my hubby...then to my next photo shoot. I had to shoot for John Rueben's upcoming album cover set to drop in August. That was fun. I love John Reuben. He's awesome guy. If you're not familiar with him, he's a Christian rap artist...you should check him out >>http://www.myspace.com/johnreuben. Friday was a busy day, but good day.

Theeeen I went to the land of Cleves. Kicked it. My parent's new house feels like a vacation home. I love it. The walls are bright colors and there're lots of windows so it’s always breezy... I could have stayed there longer if I hadn't left my baby love behind. So we got back on the road on Sunday and headed home. I was happy to be back, I missed my bed and the guy in it ;)

Oh yeah!! I almost forgot! I gotta a job too! My bum days are over. lol Making money and saving money means BYE BYE OHIO! :) God is certainly good!

So, uh yeah... I think that’s about it.

Peace and LOVE yall **follow your dreams**

distraction

I must confess I've been distracted. There is one main focus of my life, one main passion, one main force that motivates everything I do…. Jesus. I've know about Jesus from a very early age, but I only fell in love five short years ago. It wasn't a trip, or a stumble, I fell and I fell hard. That love was so consuming, I devoted my life to it. Therefore my life is no longer my own and my plans are now God's plans. So I must confess I've been distracted. Busy making my own plans, and dreaming dreams as if they were my own. Forgetting who put them in my heart, and who will in turn make them come to past. I sit and fight with myself because I can't seem to conceal my weakness. Forgetting His strength is made perfect in my weakness. I must confess I've been distracted. In the quest to peal back the next layer of myself and discover who I am in a deeper way, there is no ignoring God. Because I, alone, can never understand the complex layers that make me who I am unless I first understand the one that created me. I will never understand my purpose until I understand my God. In strengthening our relationship and spending time in His presence, distraction seems to be my worst enemy. My husband said it best, " When God is out of sight he's out of mind, and when Im impatient with the weight of the wait, I step out of line". Stepping back in line is no problem, because God never leaves. Regaining focus is never a problem because God's love brings clarity. Remembering the passion and the dreams in my heart was given by God, not just for me, but the world at large. I must confess I've been distracted until now.

vinatge ish

Sooo I just got back from shooting for Bustown Modern... these are some the items that are up this week. Feel free to check it out >>>http://stores.shop.ebay.com/BustownModern__W0QQ_sidZ37692875QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em14?_pgn=1

my big sister

So we meet again... here on these pages. What can I say today? Im not quite sure yet... but I know there's plenty on my mind...

Today is July 4th and woke up not too long ago. The first thought I had waking up was of my sister, Tosha. So I texted her. I havn't talked about her too much thus far, but she has always been a big deal in my world. The seven year gap between us, used to seem much bigger, but the older we get the closer we get. As a little girl, I would always follow her around, the difference is, now, its somewhat welcomed.

The thing is... She's smart. She's beautiful. She's strong. Like I said, she's kind of a big deal in my world. I just love her, and I feel blessed to be her little sister.

I dont know about most families. But when birthdays would come around at my house, my mom would sit you down and tell you the story of the day you were born. She would always start out my story telling me how everybody wanted a boy. My parents already had their girl, and they were asking God for a boy.

Tosha, however, disagreed. Instead she asked God for a sister. And God heard, and gave her Tondi Rachelle. And now she's stuck with me :)

I always liked that part of the story.

Sooo yeah. My sister was on my mind this morning. Her and funnel cake.

We walked miles to sold out funnel cake last night. It broke my heart to say the least. Columbus puts on their firework show "Red White and Boom" every year on July 3rd. Personally, I wasnt thinking about fireworks, or our independence day, all I could think about was FUN-NEL-CAKE. We walked for forever and waited in line for forever and then they run out of funnel cake. Lame I tell you, lame....soo I concluded that Im making my own today....we'll see how it goes.
