Today hubby surprised me, I was beyond surprised and happy :)

Love...

Hey beauties


People say this word toooo often. Alot of times when people use the word love, it is for their own personal gain or selfish advances. When real Men and Women Love, we love hard. The type of love I aim to have is Love like Jesus had for us...Agape love. It is not easy to possess that type love or even follow it. However I know Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr possessed it. No he wasn't perfect but he understood that no one is perfect and deserves forgiveness...what do u think? is it possible for your generation to practice agape love? love that is unconditional regard?

I can see your halo

Looking into your eyes, I melt. They are so soft, so warm. All my worries simply fade away from your smile...As I listen to Bey's lyrics thats exactly how I feel. Your everything I need and more..So thankful that God has placed you in my life.

I see you as inspiration. You inspire me to look outside of the box. I have a vision of Love and you are clearly in my sight.

I love you more today than yesterday and only half as much as tomorrow...

I can see your Halo

First Love

Anyone who knows me that I am all about love. I love to love and to receive it...

Do you remember when you met your first love? how old were you and how did you know it was love?

Honey is not my first boyfriend however he is my FIRST love and I want him to be One and Only and Last..yes its that deep! lol I met him in high school (high school sweethearts) I knew I loved him when I was able to see both sides of the spectrum with him meaning his good and flaws which makes him perfect in my eyes even though he is not. I was able to open up the Real Me to him and he has a major impact in my life and definitely holds a place in my heart right underneath God and next to my family and diamonds (best friends).

Now that our anniversary is approaching tomorrow I just had to reminisce....sign *cheese*

Money can't buy you happiness

I took this online quiz and it was "which Sex and the City Character are you?" and I ended up being Charlotte. I laughed but her character and I are similar in some ways. I do believe in love and happiness...however I do NOT believe that money can buy me happiness or love. Yes I understand that we need money to carry out our every day lives but does the amount of money one person has really determines their happiness?

No one wants to struggle or live pay check to pay check. But even those who do have millions and millions of dollars are not always in a happy state because they are too busy worry about getting robbed, or pondering if their significant other is really with them for them or their $$ etc.....

Everything revolves around money, even marriage. If my grandparents were alive and they heard of Prenuptial agreements they would probably be confused. I understand the purpose of a prenup and I don't judge any couples for making that choice but damn what ever happened to not breaking wedding vows and making a promise that shouldn't be broken? now its like ok, "In case we break up" this is our agreement...??

Well with my standards money cannot buy me happiness and I hope others will learn that as well. Money isn't everything and we should not idolize it, but happiness and love is a quest or a journey that we should take and want to achieve one day.

one love

A quote I am believing to be true

"A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ, that a man would have to go through HIM to find her" Unknown (unless someone can tell me where its from :D, I would appreciate that)

I love this quote because in my view it's so true. In service today, one of the members from my church proposed to his girlfriend. It was very touching and my pastor blessed the ring before he placed it on her finger. My pastor made a joke saying something along the lines of "if he loves u that much he would put a ring on it" then all the ladies were like "yep yep" "thats right" and doing the beyonce ring on it dance lol. fun times but true.

Pastor also made a comment about shacking up. I mean I dont care if others do it however the more and more I think about it. I want to be at least engaged about to get married in a month or few weeks when living with my honey. With my standards, I want to marry a God fearing man, period. I need to know that if things go wrong, I have a spouse that wont just throw in the towel or run away, but a spouse that will get down on his knees and pray with me. I know I have found that person which is a blessing, I hope and pray others feel the importance of faith and spirituality in a marriage because "A family that prays together will stay together"...THE TRUTH.
peace

Busy Saturday

So today I went to the school to study for my comp exam from 11:15-2:45. Studying went will I had a great partner and we did get alot accomplished...I'm still nervous tho..but I have time.
After studying My God daughter Amiyah had her birthday party which was really fun she had a lil magice show. When I was young I didnt see many magice shows so I was too thrilled lol lol and then after that I went to a babyshower which was cool. I am so exhausted and I patiently await for my handsome honey...(sigh) very excited :D

Thinking with my Master Plan

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!! Yes we made it thanks to God. On NYE My honey and I went to church with his grandma. I enjoyed bringing in the new year praying and being as close to God as I could. I didnt make any resolutions however I do have this attititude that if I want change, I have to be the change...so whats been goin on with me

School
So on December 17th I finished my last class of my master's program. Thank God I am so happy and blessed that I made it this far. I ended the semester with a 3.6 gpa and a cummulative gpa of 3.5. God is really good all the time and all the time God is good. I am proud of myself and so is my circle of loved ones. I'm just really happy right now. Next on my agenda is to pass my Comprehensive exam on 1/24th I am praying that I pass all four sections with an 80 or better. Please who ever reads this keep me in your prayers.

Work
Still looking and searching. I applied for a great opportunity I pray that I get it...I will update on that later.

Family, friends, Love of my life
Everyone is Great. and I am too blessed to have them in my life.

****Shopping****
I need to do it...I am patiently waiting for more income so that I can splurge a lil bit :D. So far i hit up some lil gurlie stores and Express (nice sale) and i have four new pairs a shoes...very excited

Hair stuff
So I have been neglecting my natural tresses I know Shame on me..however I decided I was going spoil the ish out of hair for now on. Today I had a great experiment on nice curl definition and moisture. I co washed with aubrey organics island naturals,then I applied giovanni direct leave in conditioner, took a dollop of kinky curly curling custard (kccc) and aubrey organics mandarin jelly and I also sealed it with castor oil. I loved the results and it didnt take me forever like usual. I was very happy today therefore today was a fab hair day. I am thinking about pressing my hair in february but I'm not sure yet. If not than braids is an option.

Cheers to us!

Its been a while since I have writtin in my blog but Im back :D

So september 26th was my 8th year anni with my hunny. I am so blessed yall to have a wonderful person in my life. He means so much to me and I hold him dear. We had a great weekend together despite me catching a cold (yuck!) it was all good.

Ummm why are peeps so negative nowadays?

So I was talking to a gurlie of mine and she spoke of how being with one person is unrealistic and UN natural. I disagree. I mean I do understand that not everyone wants to be in a committed relationship. However If you do believe that you will marry one day how is it possible to feel so strongly about this topic?

I do believe that there is NO perfect relationship however if people are happy and want to commit themselves to someone, it is possible for them to have a wonderful relationship. I do believe that alot of people make decisions based on there past relationships and even childhood but damn don't try to rain on my parade ya feel me? I am happy with my boyfriend. No everyday is not always peaches and cream but we have grown so much in the past (soon to be 8) years. I would not replace or change anything for the world.

the first question people ask about my relationship..." how does he still give you butterflies after soo many years?" Easy...God doesnt make mistakes and God is apart our relationship.

My Hunny

So a good pal of me was nice enough to go with me in Manhatten to watch my hunny participate in a music contest this past thursday night. I was so happy to see him do his thing on stage. I am really proud of him. I feel that God has blessed him with a gift and long as God is first he can do many things with a future music career.

Catch up on life

ughhhhhhhhhhhhh School is soooo crazy right now but I am thankful and blessed.

So..... Michael Kors had a 75% off selected shoes at Roosevelt Field. I purchased two pairs of shoes. a black stilletto pump and creme thong sandles. I love this. the best part was how much I paid for them. the pumps were 98, I paid $25....the sandles were 100+ and I paid $27.. I was so happy. I purchased my mom a pair of flats too for $27, she loved them. It makes me happy to find sales...I am a struggling grad student :D. I have a pic above of the shoes, but online it only showed silver so just imagine these in black ;D

hmmmmm the love life is great, Stephen and I are excellent....
