Bloganuary – Describe the HAPPIEST day of your life.
#bloganuary #bestdayofmylife #happymemories #bloganuary2023 I’m super blessed writing an answer to this prompt, because I didn’t just have the one day – I had almost a year of the happiest days I’ve ever had in my life.

The best gift ever
My friend Marquessa writes an awesome blog (I’ll find out how to link it below if you wanted to check it out) and on one of her latest posts, she asks “What’s the best gift you’ve ever received?” Such a great question! I’m so happy to be able to share mine with you. When I…

Waiting
November 21, 2017 I feel like that’s what I’m doing lately – waiting. For what, I don’t know. Something good, I hope. Well – God willing – THIS FRIDAY, Alun and I get the keys to our new home. This Friday – we’ll be moving!!! God provided a new job for me only ONE DAY…
