History has officially been made!
"Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending!"

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." I continue to pray for a change!

Fall Y'all

It's Fall and I love it! If you are from or living in the South you know what I mean. The colors of the leaves, the cool brisk weather, and the smell of apple pie baking in momma's kitchen. Not to mention the other yummy goodies like sweet potato pie and pound cake...umm, somebody's got a sweet tooth :). I can almost taste it!

Memorial Weekend Outing

Good times...I took my mom and cousin to Carowinds on Memorial weekend. We had a good time. My mom really enjoyed the "Joy Fest" concert where several of her favorite Gospel artists were there. Janelle, my cousin, and I enjoyed the rides. This video is just a clip of us in one of the lines there at the Action Theater. Also pictures of us, we were having too much fun!

Tatted up

WOW, I never thought I'd actually do it, but I've always wanted one. I love it and it really represents what I love. Cats! Something that you're going to have for life should be something that you love and don't mind looking at everyday right?

Jazzin on the Lake

What a wonderful time KL, Karen, and myself had Jazzin on the Lake Yacht cruise of Lake Norman this Sunday. The weather was a nice. The artist that perfomed was Steve Cole, a saxophonist. It was very nice weather, and atmosphere. I would do it again! We got a chance to see the wonderful estates on the Lake and meet new people on the yatch. It was real laid back for those that love Jazz, or just cruisin on the lake mixing and mingling. Hope you enjoy the slide show.

Officially a Rider

Yes, if you didn't know, now you know. This weekend was awesome! My mother and I took a motorcycle class to learn the basics, safety and to of course have fun. The course was offered in Myrtle Beach and we rode pretty much the whole weekend and took a field test and written test and PASSED! Now I'm on the road to purchasing my first bike, who knows you may see me riding out! Bikes are fun, however everyone should remember to be safe and alert. Have fun!

Our First Vacation

The Game

Yep,

I started officially playing pool in February, 2008 with a league of players out of Charlotte NC "8 Ball Express". Of course as a beginner, but gradually progressing. Playing with a league is something that I've NEVER thought about doing until I learned that it was for a wide range of players from Beginner to intermediate. I would say there are some experts on the teams as well, but it's an excellent way to learn. I love it! My league plays every Wednesday night at a select of different billiards. maybe you'll see me around!

The Profession

I begin.....
with work for the day. Currently I am have a wonderful profession as a Technical Trainer for a software development company in Charlotte, NC. I enjoy this part of my walk of life because it entails doing things that I enjoy. I was previously a 5th grade teacher in South Carolina and decided to continue my education in the technical field receiving my masters in IT Management (Informational Technology). That was one of the best decisions I 've made, not to mention being able to smoothly transition to teaching adults instead of kids with incorporating another love of mine, computers! No matter what or who I'm teaching. Teaching will always been in my blood. I love it and wouldn't have it any other way!

Everything Happens for a Reason!

I must start this blog with another one of my quotes that I like to use. "Everything Happens for a reason." Whether you are looking for it or not. It will happen if it is meant to happen. I truly believe that. I have been currently dating my boo, K.L. now for about 2 years. However we've known each other for about 7 years. We started off just good friends and it blossomed from there. We know each other's in's and out's it's nice to know that we are there for each other no matter what happens in life. Love is a beautiful thing!
