A Spectacular Day!

Yesterday was amazing :) Sunrise on the beach, walking along the shore to collect shells and rocks. It was amazing. I loved it. It was so peaceful and quiet. So awesome :) I took some amazing pics with my cellphone (forgot my real camera :( ) and as soon as I figure out how to get them on the computer, lol, I will add them here!

Excited!

I am totally geeking out over my books that have just arrived! I am excited! 4 Scott Cunningham books! i have been saving for a while to get them all! YAY! Just excited!

Blessed Be!

Hello All!

Hi All! Hope you all have been well and enjoying this WONDERFUL fall weather! I LOVE IT! :) Can you tell?

Just a quick update. I have been super busy, life with three girls will do that to a person :) Not to mention being a military wife, doing my year and a day with an awesome group online :) And taking care of family and working through my life so far :) I have a lot going on! Plus in the next few weeks we will be making a move from Georgia to Missouri *sigh* But this time we will be there for 2-5 years. Hopefully longer for some more stability!!

Talk to you all soon! How are you?

Blessed Be

Trick or Treating!

Here is Lucy! She was so excited to trick or treat! They ran the entire 2 hours we were out *exhausted!*
Maeghan
The group! Maeghan, Mallerii, Scarecrow, Gracie and Lucy






It was a great night! They had a blast and trick or treated their feet off! They made out like bandits with the candy situation! And they were thrilled! We had loads of trick or treaters! They were adorable!

Another post for Samhain

So I have decided to start this little blurb about loved ones who have passed in my family. The above pictures are my mothers parents, my grandparents, Nanny and Poppy AKA Jimmie Rae Essman and Jerrie Charlene Essman. They passed on a year apart April 2007(Poppy) and April 2008(Nanny). I was sad to see them go.

For my dads parents I can only find my grandmothers obituary. I am working on getting her picture. So here is her obituary:

NATIVE - DANKERT - VERNICE - MAE - MRS. - LANCASTER - 8 18 1938 - 12 18 2003 - BROWNSVILLE CEMETERY - Mrs. Vernie Mae Lancaster Dankert, age 65, died Thursday, Dec. 18, 2003.Mrs. Dankert was born and raised in the St. Francis County area, the daughter of Claude Lancaster and Nettie Mae Lancaster. She is survived by her husband, Ron Dankert; her children, Debbie Southerland of Wynne, Pat Purvis of Little Rock, Mike Purvis of Glen Allen, Va. and James Purvis of Bend, Ore.; her sister, Diane Reeves of Forrest City; eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild. She was preceded by both her parents.Funeral services were held for Mrs. Dankert on Monday, Dec. 22, 2003, in the Chapel of Boyd Funeral Home in Lonoke. Burial followed in Brownsville Cemetery.

She was also buried the same day I went into labor and had our son who passed away shortly after his birth.

His name was Jacob Aaron. He lived for almost 3 hours. December 22, 2003 (on a side note he was due April 11.. I seem to be noticing as I am writing this out that all of my loved ones, with the exception of my dads mom, have died in April or have some April connection. The last time we saw my grandmother it was in April a few years before.... weird?)

My dads father, Robert Lee Purvis who passed away in April of 1997. No pictures and still looking for his obituary :(.

My dads best friend Duke. Vietnam Vet

And for now that is all :) Just a little cyber memorial for them from me. I will hopefully be adding pics to it, etc or updating it in other little blurbs I do.

Blessed Be

It's Here! I know I promised them last night... but I fell asleep :D

So here they are! This top one is a zebra skirt for my cousin (Yes she is 19 lol and still dressing up!) The girls wanted her to come with us trick or treating and they also wanted her to dress up! And well she is obsessed with zebras :) So she is going as one as well!Here is Lucy wearing her zebra shirt! She loves it! The back is also glitter sprayed which is further down the line :)
This is our fall harvest center piece. The girls have named the turkey Sean :)
These are some hair bows I made, they all have a twin bow too :)
These are the zebra bows I made for Little Lucy Zebra :)
This is one of the witch shirts up close!
Farther back!
This is a witch leotard. it will be going with the black, orange and purple skirt!
And the zebra shirt sans Lucy :)
And the back of the zebra shirt!
I also added glitter spray to the witch skirts but didn't get the pics of them yet! Tomorrow is the day our community does trick or treating so I will have more pics posted up of the full finished costumes with the girls wearing them!!!!!! Thank you all for being patient with me. Life has been hitting lately. And I was exhausted last night! I hope you all are enjoying the season! Our fall weather is finally here, for what hopefully will be permanent for the season! For Samhain I am going to be making a special meal and I will post pics of that day as well! And I am going to do some wish bags for the "New Year" with the girls and put up pics of that as well!!!!!!!!!! See you all soon and Blessed Be!

Uploading pics tonight from the Halloween costumes! I promise!

Things have been stressful here! But we are managing. I know I had a sad post the other day and I am slowly moving on from it. Today I am a little irked however, because since leaving our old religion and coming out with how we really feel about things and have been defending our views on things just as our family always does I stepped on some toes. Just as my husbands family continues to step on my toes, some days I step back. Especially when things are aimed AT me directly and done out in the open, just in a foreign language. A few months ago this happened. One of my BIL's made a comment about me in spanish. I knew some of the words so I had a friend translate it and it was particularly nasty. So I responded back. Little did I know he and his wife blocked me from being able to view their FB walls and some other things on their FB. Which is their choice. But I like to pride myself on being honest and when something happens I will call you on it just like I expect you to do the same. But they didn't. So today they text me telling us how we need to see their babys pictures they put up. So I tried to go and see and voila they had outed themselves as to having blocked me. But they forgot, apparently... when I confronted them on it they seemed super uncomfortable about it and made an excuse, that honestly I know to be an outright lie. I feel frustrated about it. Why do grown adults do this?

I guess I am just perplexed. I will talk to you all tonight with the pics of the girls' costumes!
