Well, it has been a while since I have posted! I mean a LOOOONG time! I am trying to get back at it on here! When I was blogging a lot a while back I got really obsessed, really fast, so here I go again! Since I have been on here last, a lot more of my life has changed! For the bad, and FOR THE GOOD! How can that happen? GOOD & BAD?? Well in April....April 27th to be exact the tornadoes that tore through Tuscaloosa and the western part of Jefferson county and on through the states of Alabama and Georgia, the devasting twister decided to hit right on top of the "place I grew up," where much of my past was planted, where my family was and where much of my future was going to be. Our house got hit in the tornado, and we lost everything. I say everything, but I cant say that without saying...."everything that didnt really matter." My mom, dad, brother, grandparents and friends are all still alive, but now still picking up the pieces of what is left. It has been a journey I never thought I would have to travel, and an experience that changed "life as we knew it!" It has been about 6 months since the storm, and in tat time we have come a long way. We were put in a garden home in Trussville to live until we can plant somewhere else. MY poor momma breaks my heart. She is having a hard time with it! But she AMAZES me! I never really thought about HOW MUCH my parents have done for my brother and me. To see how hard they have worked to give me what I need, and what I want. To see how hard they have worked to have a home like we did in Pleasant Grove and then watch it be taken right out from under us if often hard to accept, but my mother is truley an inspiration to me. We are living in a house that is not "ours" nor will it ever be, but she has hung pictures, she has bought cutesie stuff, she has even got our :cleaning lady" coming to the house..."we do not even own" to CLEAN it for us! WOW! What a good momma!

The den area...."my daddys chair"
We CAN'T FORGET....WHAT IT WAS BEFORE. Such a wonderful place to live and grow up. This was surely, "home sweet home!"
