Sunday March 19,2017

Just thinking about how life was in the beginning of mine & Kody's relationship. We never wanted to be apart from each other, we called each other every night.  There wasn't a day went by we didn't talk or see each other. We were made complete & whole the night we met :) Together Kody & I went on  many a dates in his 03 Honda Accord :) Many a nights spent just sitting and talking to each other, learning the ins & outs of each other & what we love.  From the very start we have been joined together "at the hip" as they say.When people saw one of us, they saw the other. It is still that was to this day ;)
On My 25th this year, we will have been together for 5 years. This has been the Absolute Best 5 years of my life! I love you more today baby than I ever thought was possible. I am so blessed by our Father God to have you in my life baby. Together we have grown as individuals as well as a couple. We are always on the same wave length as the other, can read each others mind & finish each others sentences. I'm so thankful we weren't one of those couples who fought over everything & broke up over silly stuff.  There have been people along the way who tried to cause trouble & break us up, but we have made it through it all.Through all of the hardships & things that come with relationships as well as the people who have tried to cause trouble between Kody & I , we have become strong because of it.
I love you Kody Gunter from the bottom of my heart. I hope & pray we feel the same way about each other each and every day from now for the rest of my life.  Together we can make it through anything 💘

Hello World!

Hi there everyone!

I haven't posted a blog in years but thought I would give it a try again. Its been quite a rollercoaster for my family & I since July 2012. A lot of people know all the ins & outs of what happened while some I suppose still do not.
On July 10th, 2012 my dad had an accident & accidentally shot himself in his femoral artery. He was in surgery for 8 hours & in ICU for 5 days before being transferred to a step down unit. All in all, my dad was in UAB for 12 days. The days that followed were to be an unknown territory for my entire family. Many times it was just my mom & I taking care of my dad.  Were some days tiresome & weary? Most Definetly! While my dad was in the hospital my mom & I were awake for 41 hours straight, so to say the least we were worn out by the time my dad was released from UAB.
The months following were very tough for my family and I. We had some tough times as a family as well as financially & emotionally. We lost my childhood home and my dad's business that he had owned for 34+ years. Our family moved back to my hometown where I was born as well as where my parents were born & raised.  I Truly am Thankful we moved back here to Walker County.
If we had not moved back to Walker County I wouldn't have my Amazing Boyfriend that is my Other Half & the Best Thing That's EVER Happened To Me! 💓   I never Truly knew what it was like to have someone love me for me until I met Kody Gunter. He Truly is the love of my life & the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. I love you so much baby, Thank You for Always being there for me.    There are No words to explain how much Kody has meant to me & my family. There are no words to truly describe how much I love you baby. You are my world  💘
I'm not for sure why all of my friends from Birmingham & who I grew up with just forgot about me. But like they say, some friends are in your life for a season & some for a lifetime. Apparently the ones I thought would be there for me forever & vice versa decided to go another path in life and found other people to be friends with that they like better than me.  Do I understand it? no. Do I wonder why me, why did they leave me? What did I do to lose all of those people? Most Definetly. I don't understand nor pretend to understand. The only thing I have told myself over the years and still do is that friends come and go, and you cannot make them stay in your life if they do not wish to be. You only have a handful of true friends so they say in your lifetime that are there for you through thick or thin and love you no matter what you do and how crazy you are.  Do I look at others and wish I had friendships/sisters like they do? Absolutely. But that's alright, I am who I am. I am who God made me to be in His image. I lived most of my life alone and not too many friends so this just goes right inline, I should be use to it. 
But the Wonderful thing that has come from all this sadness & heartache throughout my life & in the past 5 years, is I Truly found the Love of My Life, the one who completes me in ways I could Never have imagined.  All of my dreams of finding a true country boy came true. My dreams of finding someone that we are alike in so many ways, get along with each others families, both of us are Christians & God fearing people. We both love our church & church family. I am Blessed beyond my wildest dreams to call Kody Gunter mine 😍😍
Not only did meeting the love of my life at the Relay For Life in 2012 come to fruition since my family & I moved to Walker County but I also found out who my true friends are. Several have surprised me, some not so much. But such is life.  I also have made some wonderful friends who I hope we will be in each others life for a very long time! I love each and every one of them & I will always be here for them no matter what. I pray that we will all have a lifetime friendship :)
Moving to Jasper also meant a new job for me. Previously I had worked with my dad at his store in Birmingham for several years as an actual job, but all of my life it was all I had known. 
When I applied at the library I had no idea I would enjoy working there as much as I do. Growing up I always enjoyed reading & participated in every summer reading program that I could. Never had dreams of being a librarian been a part of me, but I have truly found a job that I enjoy & love. There are Definetly some crazy days but all of the good times & great people that I have met because of working at the library have brightened my life in many ways. I'm honored to be able to work at the library & as of October this year, I will have been working there for 5 years.

Well, this has been a long post I know, but I haven't written in quite awhile.  I just felt like getting things out there tonight & it always seems to help to write things down or in this world of technology to type it out & share.  I hope I haven't bored ya'll too much.  I hope to have more blogs soon!  Feel free to comment on this post or any others in the future! Thanks for stopping by!
