WOW! What happened in 2009?

I don't know what happened, but it sure did fly by....I'm going to try to start this blog up again and see if I can do better. I'm not making any promises, but I will try better...

I'm still at Tri-County going on 3 years now. I'm learning about photography, reading vampire books, and trying to get back pre-wedding shape.

Today was fun, I took Emmalee and Kaylee to Reel Studios for a photo shoot of sorts....I was the photographer. I really had a fun time, the girls had fun, and were well behaved considering they (especially, Kaylee) didn't have a nap before hand. I was able to get a few good pics. Well, I'm trying to upload some photos to FB as I'm typing...Oh well, I'm tired and ready to go to bed.

July 4th Holiday

Howdy. I had a wonderful Holiday. First of the week I went to Albany, GA to visit with my friend Adrienne and her family. So the whole fam(me, mac and the girls) loaded the car and set off on our adventure. The girls were so good in car, of course we had their favorite movies to keep them occupied. It was so good seeing Adrienne. I had forgotten how much fun we have together even if we just sit around playing cards. Speaking of, we were introduced to a new game...Quiddler. It is a lot of fun....Mac LOVES it and we've made his parents and mine come over and play. Then on Friday, Mac went to Johnson City, TN to visit with some of his family. He took the girls with him so they could see their cousins since we all don't get together as often as we all would like. I stayed home so I could catch up on my rest.....my girls didn't sleep wonderful in GA and I didn't sleep well on top of having a stomach bug. I had a ball. Stayed up late watching season 1 of the tudors and Pride & Prejudice (new and old), and of course moving furniture and cleaning house. Well, I back to the grind. I'm trying to get my graphic design freelance business going again and selling AVON too. So I'm busy busy!! But anyways, I'll have to check my camera to see if I even have any photos from this past weekend and if I do, I'll share. 'til next time....

It's Tuesday...

I'm at work right now. We're trying to get ready for our Annual Report that is coming up in the fall....we've started the design process....Me and the other artist are in process of making samples for a meeting tomorrow. I don't really have anything spectacular. I just can't seem to get motivated. Change of subject....WE, my girls and Mac, are heading down to Albany,GA to see my friend, Adrienne!!!! I'm very excited about that. I am ready to leave tomorrow, but sadly will have to wait until Saturday. Hopefully, I'll get some great pics and will remember to post them when I get back!!! Not much else is going on, but I'm trying to get back in the habit of posting so I remember to post when I actally have things to talk about. ahahah. Well, I better get back to work. Until next time....

Well, well, I finally decided to blog.

I just read over my post from last February and it is now June...almost July....I'm very bad at this blogging stuff. ahaha. Well, I guess to get started I'll just give a short narrative of what all has been going on. First things first....I lost my grandmother, Jessie Smith, (my name sake) at the beginning of the year. It was an answer prayer at the time, she was in a lot of pain, not being able to breathe and I was so tired of being selfish and praying for her to stay here.....I'm so glad she's not suffering anymore, but I sure do miss her a lot. I'll catch myself picking up the phone to call and remembering I can't.....Along the same note, Mac lost his great Aunt Virginia and his Granddaddy Spencer too. It has been a tough year around here.

Let's move on to a more happy note....If any of you remember how difficult it was potty training Emm then you remember me saying that I wouldn't potty train Kaylee and she could wear a diaper until she was 35 if she wanted....well, that little devil(Kaylee) decided on her own to potty train herself. SHE WAS SO EASY!!!!!!!! She turned 2 in April and was potty trained. Now we put pullups on her at night just in case....she's usually dry in the morning, but we did try allowing her to sleep without a pull up and she would have about 2-3 accidents a week, so we decided to give her a little more time to allow her bladder to catch up with her mind.

Emm has turned 4 this past March and is such a wonderful girl! She is such a good helper....She is learning so much so fast!!! Emm also has learned how to ride her tricycle very well. Hopefully, we'll be able to get her a bike for Christmas.

My car....well, I got a Toyota Matrix....it is a very bright blue car....I just love it. It is small, nothing fancy, good on the gas.....I just love it!!!

I'm still working for the local community college. It is a lot of fun. Mac is getting ready to start classes hopefully this fall.(keep him in your prayers....I know he's a little anxious about it.)

We are all doing pretty well....I have just found out that my blood pressure is a little high, I can only assume it is stress related.....Isn't it always.....I've started working out again. I joined Curves and have beening trying to workout at least 3 times a week....Last week I actually exercised 4 times. Well, I really can't remember it all so I just upload some pictures. Enjoy!!

Hello Papala and Grammy Liz

I just wanted to send a hello to you guys. I know you are looking at this right now so I wanted to say hello. I will be posting new pictures and updating events going on...hopefully tonight. Check back later and see what I have accomplished.

Love you guys!!

It's been a LOOOONNNNNNGGGGGG Time!!

Hi. Sorry I've been so slack. I've been busy with working all day and spending time with my precious girls at night! We've been through a lot these past months. Thanksgiving. Christmas. New Years. Bought new car. Grandmother died. Kaylee potty-trained. I'm planning to post some pictures and text on each. I'm at work right now, and need to be working not playing. I'm'll get my stuff together and get it posted, SOON - I promise!!

Take Care,

Good evening all!!

Hi. I am so sorry for neglecting my blog. I have been very busy with work and caring for my 2 girls. My Granny is not doing very well. They did do a scan and discovered the tumor in her chest is the size of a baseball and they can't do anything about it, but treat her for the pain. My Great Aunt, my Granny's sister, had a heart attack and they discovered 4 blockages and it looks like they aren't really sure they can do anything about them. It looks like we still need your prayers. I also need for you to pray for a lady at work, Debbie, she has 2 blood clots in her lungs and from what I gathered today, it didn't look very good. Also, my boss had to put her dog to sleep and it was very hard for her because he was like her son. Please pray for her. Tomorrow I will try by best to take pictures of the girls and get them posted. Emm is going to be a princess!! Of course!!
