Wow! I can't believe how horrible I am at blogging!! It's been way too long since I wrote my feelings down. 2007 has been an interesting year for me. I have so much to update that I don't even know where to start. I guess I can start with in December 2006 I found out that I was pregnant. SHOCKER!!! My son was 16 at the time. So you know that this was not something that me or my dear heart planned. I have since found out that what God has for me it's for me. I've heard that statement a lot, but now I have lived actually lived it and can relate to it.

The first few months of the year were fine for me. My hair flourished and I loved every minute of it. This was beyond a shadow of a doubt the best thing I ever did for myself.

On May 14th my boo proposed to me. It was the funniest thing, we were shopping for baby furniture. We were coming out of Baby'sR Us and all of a sudden he had a ring in my face and asked me if I would want to marry him!!! LOL it was hilarious. Not because I didn't want to marry him, but because I NEVER expected him to ask me that. At least not at this point in our lives. We were content living together (I know.. shame on us!). Anyway, after I asked him like 5 times if he was "serious", and him saying yes he was 5 times, I said yes. Once the parents got involved, things got way out of control. I figured we would wait until 2008 to get married. He and my mother figured we would get married BEFORE the baby was born. Imagine the look on my face! So with that being said, from May 14 - July 7th I planned a wedding. We were married on Saturday July 7, 2007. It was not intentional, as a matter of fact, we went with the date that my pastor had available and when the church was available. Who knew or even thought about it was the most sought out day to get married... (777). Kendall and I considered it divine order. It just went along with all the other things in our relationship. So here we are an old married couple. Exactly 4 weeks prior to our daughter being born. I keep teasing saying I'm going to write a book - "How to plan a wedding in two weeks and get exactly what you want." LOL it wasn't two weeks, but it sure felt like it to me.

My daddy and me :)My Man! He sang to me, ya'll

I'se married now! (I wanted to wear my hair up, but it was too short, so I settled for SoftSpikes and a headband with lace. The morning of the wedding my man and I decided to hot glue gun a (fake) pearl necklace to the headband. It turned out so great. Did I tell you I did all of this on the fly??!)

So moving on through the year, I had a high-risk pregnancy due to the fact that I was battling hypertension, my age (I'm 38), being overweight (aggghhhhh) and other minor health issues. After 8 months of continuously going to OBGYN appointments 2 times a week, God gave me a beautiful beautiful little girl. She is so sweet and so precious. She was delivered on 8/07/07 at 4:07 pm by emergency C-section. My amniotic fluid was too low to sustain her. She was perfectly healthy and for this I'm always thanking God.

So now here I am just living the married, new mommy (again) life. And through it all my hair has been the one constant thing I could depend on. My hair has thrived under all conditions. I really haven't had any bad hair stories, or even any bad hair days. So I can stand here w/o a doubt and say that Sisterlocks is the best thing that could have ever happened to my hair! I have been so carefree. Even on my worst days I could look back and see that my hair was in-tact and looking pretty fierce (if i must say so myself).

Well, that's my year in a nut shell! Go figure that 12 months could go by so quickly. I promise to do better with my blogging now that life is starting to settle down for me. Of course I say that and I'm certain something else will come up to occupy my time. I will continue taking pictures and hope for the best with this journey. As I said earlier.. what God has for me, it's for me! I am living proof of what God will do for you! Hugs to all....
