A Real Ninja!
I get to interview some really interesting people on my radio show. It's a great gig that I enjoy every week. This was just another one to add to the many I've already done. More great guests coming in the future too!
Travis is training once again for the next competition and I'll definitely be watching and cheering him on!

Happy Halloween!
My granddaugher, Salem, and I recently visited a costume shop in Nashville. We had a blast! Our family is pretty excited about this year's Halloween fun and all the plans we've made! The entire family will be in costume this year!
I tried on various outfits and Salem loved telling me what she thought of each one. When I put the red time period dress on, she said, I looked like a "princess" then reminded me that "I'm the only one that can be a Princess, Mimi, so you can't wear that one!"
Needless to say, we made more memories today and I'm blessed for every moment I spend with her. She is going as "Tinkerbell", with pink wings and all.
As you can tell, I grew attached to the white GoGo Boots, so I decided to mix and match. My nurse costume will be hip. No nurse shoes for me:)
Halloween, we're ready! Neighbors, get those candy bars out, because Salem and I are coming!

New Blogs Coming Soon!
I haven't forgotten about my blog or my faithful readers. I've just been a busy lady lately. It's all good:). I'll do my best to write a new one this week! My best doesn't always mean I'll succeed, so please be patient!
Looking forward to writing about my recent trip to the dentist with my 27 year old daughter. I love that no matter how old they get, my girls still want their Mommy!
Also, I'll be writing about my visit to Wyoming, the Devil's Tower, seeing black bears, wolves, mountain lions, buffalo and viewing Mt. Rushmore. Great time with even better company.
God is good.

A Meeting With a Congressman
To say I'm excited about the many exciting things going on in my life right now would be an understatement! God is so good to me, in spite of me. I'm so grateful for that.
Today was another exceptional day in my life. I was able to spend some time with Congressman Marsha Blackburn, who generously took time out of her incredibly busy day, to spend some time with me at our pregnancy center.
I was proud to show her around and describe the many wonderful things going on at our center. My work is humbling and incredibly fulfilling. I truly have a job that isn't one. It's been said, "Find something you love to do, and you'll never work a day in your life." That's how I feel about my work.
I personally want to thank Congressman Blackburn for another day in my life that I can be proud of. You have my vote any day of the week. By the way, you might think I should refer to her as a congresswoman? No, thank you. She prefers congressman and I'm just fine with that.
Congressman Blackburn is a public servant that the entire State of Tennessee should be proud to support.

New Beginnings!
New beginnings can be scary and exciting at the same time! I'm in the middle of new beginnings right now. Some haven't been easy, but definitely necessary and even more so, worth it:).
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." So I've heard and even tend to believe. But, I'm starting to wonder? Don't you think the bad choices we make eventually lead to good ones and those good ones lead to a better, stronger, healthier and even more wiser you? I hope that makes sense to someone other than me! This I know for sure. I am who I am today because of where I've been. And although I'd love to be able to change a few things from my past, I like who I've become.
In life, there are no guarantees. Unless you count dying and paying taxes! People make promises they don't keep, they let us down, lie, and so on and so on. Of course, we're only human, which makes us prone to these behaviors. So, there are times, we can't be sure about people.
But, there is one thing I've always been sure of. It's an absolute. And that's Gods undying, undeniable, unconditional love for me. It's amazing how crazy He is about me! The good, bad, crazy, imperfect (and all the other adjectives that go here) me. He's madly in love with me! He's not ashamed to call me His own. He's never lied, humiliated or failed me, even in the midst of my most darkest or challenging of times, He's right there.
God's never disappointed me, but on many ocasions, I've disappointed Him. But, even so, He's ready and willing to pick up the pieces of our shattered lives and put them back together. No matter what we've done, mistakes we've made or the disobedience we've shown, without hesitation, God will be there waiting with outstretched arms to mend our broken hearts.
There are too many times in my life that I've been absolutely sure I've heard His leading and made decisions accordingly, only to find out I was way wrong. Through my failures, He loves me anyway and holds nothing against me. He's taken my mistakes and made something beautiful from them. Yes, I'm on a road to new beginnings! What a great comfort to know, He's walking right beside me.
Because when I mess up again, and I will, it's good to know He's not too far behind:).
