Life In The Crazy Lane

So much has happened in the last 9 months and I didn't even realize that it had been that long since I last posted.
We have adjusted quite well to living as a multi-generational family.
Our little family lost two of our beloved pets this year. My 13 year old Lilly Mae & Nikirhe's little puppy Tank. He was her first dog that was all hers. She loved him very much and we had to teach her about the rainbow bridge way too son.
 My mom and step dad had their own struggles this year as well. His health began failing more and more over the summer and into the fall. We managed to be able to take him to one last family reunion in August before he got Sick and had a heart attack in September. After that he was between the nursing home and the hospital until December. On December 30th Grandpa Larry (as we called him) went to be with Jesus. The grandkids got to have one last Christmas with Grandpa. Mom is hanging in there as it has almost been one month since his passing. However his mother Mada passed away just last Thursday evening and mom has had a bit of a set back having had to face two deaths in as little as 3 weeks.

Niki had to learn way too much about death this year. She misses her pets & her Grandpa very much.

We Celebrated our 15th Wedding anniversary this past October. October 3rd Marked 15 years, on the 4th We renewed our vows to each other with a more formal version of our first wedding! lol My family was all there and unfortunately Ernie's family couldn't come. It was good to recommit ourselves to our God and our marriage and having our family & friends promise to support us and lift us up in prayer.

Still in love after all this time! <3 p="">

 

We also promised to be Godly parents to Nikirhe and to raise according to God's Word.

 

Our happy little family of 3! We are so very blessed to have this little girl in our lives and nothing on earth can compare to the gift God has given us! :)

After our Vow Renewal I became an Independent Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay!
I LOVE my business! It is helping me to grow and improve our quality of life! God is blessing my business as long as I work it and I know that we will be making some changes for the better in the near future!

I am excited about the prizes I've earned with my Mary Kay business! I have my personal website as well as my facebook page. I Love getting to help women enrich their lives!
I was even blessed with the ability to purchase inventory so that my most of my customers don't have to wait for product orders!

Well It's time to do a few things around the house. we have officially began homeschooling and things are a bit crazy right now! :) But I LOVE IT!!!
