A lil bit of everything!

Well let's start with Wed was my first day back at the gym...and I must say...it felt soooooooooooooo good. I couldn't believe it. So I am really excited about getting back into my old schedule. Plus with upcoming events I need to be in the best shape!

I also turned 23 yesterday! I have to say I have some pretty amazing people in my life and I am very blessed to call these people family! We had a great dinner with a couple of hours of Just Dance..Had an awesome bday cake...and some amazing gifts! But even if I had no gifts. My friendships that have turned into families...is really priceless! I wouldn't change it for the world.
Thank again guys! love you

Work is work. I haven't started training yet for the assistant manager position (that is not yet available). But will soon I hope. We have a high turn over but not really in upper positions. Praying something comes available soon. I need the change.

Well guys thats about it for now....

Well........

Well guys...all that training for nothing. I was ordered by my doctor to stop exercising until I recovered from surgery. So no triathlon in June. We have reschedule it until Sept. So in a few weeks I will be able to start training again. Sorry went well. don't remember it hurting this bad the last time but oh well. I'm ready to get back to spin class!

My relationship with my boyfriend is going great. I love him to pieces and can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for us.

Family is doing good. Shauna and Taylor's baby is doing good...as far as we know. He is growing so big. She is due in Aug and we have to plan her shower in a few weeks.....I love planning events....so much fun!

Well guys.............that's about it.

Training for a Tri!

Training hasn't been easy to say the least. Swimming is a lot harder than it looks. Trying to form some sort of routine with biking, running, and swimming.....I don't like running however if I am racing then I always seem to do better then but I need to train........The tri is for first and second timers....which I am thankful for. This will be mine and Renee's first Tri! It consist of 1/4 mile swim....bike 12 miles...and run for 3 miles! We are excited and nervous because of training....However we barely trained for the duathlon and we both finished! lol Anyways, I will keep you guys updated on our training and will post some pics and info when the day arrives! :o) Until then....Happy training!

My play date with the boys!

Well guys it has been a lonnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg time coming. I haven't been able to watch these sweet boys in such a long time! But today is a different story :o) I got to watch them to allow my sweet friends go to dinner. The boys played so good and the time went by way to fast! They have grown so much! Here are some pics from tonight!

Malachi 2 months

And so is Auntie

Ok Auntie I'm taking a nap

Auntie I'm getting tired of taking cute pictures

Watching the rain hit the window

He loved looking out the window..it was too cute

I just wanted to update everyone on our sweetest new addition to the family. Malachi turned 2 months old on May 1st. And he has grown soo much. He is now developing the cutest personality! He is smiling a whole lot more....even laughs..(the greatest sound ever) He is also sleeping through the night completely. However, he is still having some breathing problems....The doctors really don't know whats wrong with him :/ But they gave my sister a heart monitor just in case of sleep apnea. So please continue to left him up in your prayers. Here are a few pics that I took of him of my recent Auntie time! :o)

Trisha and Kenneth Fraley

I had an amazing opportunity to be a second shooter at a my friends wedding. She was married on 4-24-10. And she was such a beautiful bride...Here our a few pics from that day. Congrats again Trisha and Kenneth!!!

So many emotions....

So much has gone on the last two weeks....its crazy....I've always been known for family drama... yeh nothing to brag about but something I need prayer for. My Dad has a little time to live as well as my grandmother...my little brother is having some heart problems....work is a little stressful....and I'm sitting here as the world around me seems to be crashing down as I set and do nothing......slowly I see everything falling......every direction I look....then I wonder....what am I doing....what have I done.........and I've come up with nothing....completely unnerving. The most bubbly person you probably have ever met....now sadden....distressed....hurting...and lonely....I know your probably thinking ohhh boy she needs God. She needs to pray.....Well I am and have been but lets face it. You have to be honest and not cover things up...that's how they get worse. So I'm just simply asking for prayer....sometimes people need to be prayed for when they are weak....and right now.....I am weak. Emotionally...mentially...and spiritually.

Physically I am great....which its always been the other way around. I biked 15 miles on sat... 25 miles on Sun and did spin class this am....Thats the only thing I have right now that keeps me going. A lady that came to our church a few months ago told me to race and to get a bike and that I spinned. Which she was correct....she told me that racing would be a process of healing for me.....I believe she is right....Racing/riding is something for me...Something thats makes me feel good about myself...that I've actually accomplished something great....so I am going to continue to ride and believe that God has something greater in my riding then just racing....But growth and healing.

A lot going on....but love it

So yeh I don't think I have ever been this busy planning things. But I love to be on my toes. So here is what I have going on...no joke!
April 3rd Easter Celebration
April 18th Bike event-not planning but participating
April 24th Wedding (2nd shooter) From salon in the am to when the bride and groom leaves! :o)
May 29 Wedding reception planner/organizer
June 5 First Tri is Savannah-not planning but participating
June 12 Birthday Bash-event planner

So yeh. I think I need to set up a side business for Events planner! What do you think???

I hope so of these things opens doors to others!!!

Plus I have a lot of training to do for the Tri and bike event...keeping me in shape :o)

Not complaining just sharing what I have going on...I love my life and wouldn't change it for the world.

Not sure

Well this week has been a crazy one for me at work and personally. Thank you Lord for the much needed day off tomorrow(or should i say today)! I need to train more for the duathlon this sat and the rain is just a coming down...ehhhh....I guess I will be training in the rain. I'm doing this race with my sweet friend Renee and I am so glad she talked me into doing this with her. Even though I don't fell 100% prepared. It has gotten me more active! Which is much needed. Hopefully this will be a new beginning to what is to come. I hope I get addicted to racing!

On another sad note. My Lil bro and his girlfriend went today to find out the sex of their twins and she has lost one of them :/ The other is a boy and seems to be fine. Just keep them in your prayers! And that nothing ill happen to this baby boy!

Malachi Khadafy Hobbs

Malachi (which means my messenger) came into this world on 3-1-2010 weighing 6lbs and 11oz and he is the precious littlest thing I've ever seen! During the week of his birth I was able to take a few days off work and help my sister with her other 3 kids and I really enjoyed the time with my niece and nephews! I can't believe how time has just gone by...where has it gone??? My oldest nephew Jordan is 12 will be 13 in Oct....I remember when we found out she was prego with him and the first time I felt him move! Its crazy...But Malachi was very unexpected since De'Jaun is 7 and will be 8 in Dec. But Malachi is and has been such a blessing to us all. It has made my relationship with my sister and my family even better. Here are a few pics of my wonderful nephew, Malachi! Here are some of the pics I took of my sweet lil man! Hope you enjoy them!

Baby Shower-here are some pics from the shower!

Hollie with Lexis our cousin

Sisters!

Hollie with Malachi's bear!

Malachi growing and moving like crazy!! I love it!

Being an Aunt is Awesome I love it!!!!!

Babies!!!

So yesterday Tera and I gave our sister a baby shower. Hollie is schedule for a c-section on March 1st but she is already contracting. This makes Hollie's 4th child and she had absolutely nothing. But thanks to many great friends and family yesterday she has gotten a lot of things. Hollie also announced that she is naming the baby Malachi. Not even knowing that Malachi is even in the Bible.....So it was pretty cool one to be able to tell others what she was naming this precious baby boy but to be able to pray over her and Malachi at the shower just put a new connection between Hollie and myself. I have never prayed over any of my nieces and nephews with my sisters or brothers before. Also, I got to share what Malachi means and prayer over his life that he will live out his name and any generational curses be broken. Malachi is the last book in the old testament and means "my messenger." Which I thought was awesome..So God is good and it amazes me how God still lets you know He is at work in things that I have no control over but are so dear to my heart. I love my family even if we don't get a long all the time and some of us are so very different. They are still my family and I love them and thank God for them. I love being an Aunt and our family is continuing to grow as we speak...My younger brother Taylor is expecting this August as well....So more babies to come!

Love you guys and thanks for your prayers!!!!
