About Me

My photo
I'm 30 years old and, even though some people hate the idea of leaving their 20s, I embrace getting older (I like to think I get better with age!). My entire world revolves around my two amazing, full-of-life, little boys- Jake and Eli; I never believed in love at first sight until I held those beautiful boys in my arms. I'm a passionate person and give 100% in everything I do, whether it's parenting, my job, or my relationships. I am extremely competitive, driven, and motivated... I really, really hate to lose. I love my God, my family, and my country. Enjoy cooking, writing, reading, and baseball- especially the Texas Rangers. I'm extremely interested in getting to know people/people development and ask daily questions on Twitter to aid in this endeavor. I'm constantly trying to better myself; I never want to stop growing as a person. I'm terrified of complacency, but have an ability to find happiness in any situation. Bloom where you're planted. I love life and believe in experiencing it to the fullest. I'm learning as I go and definitely having a ton of fun along the way!

Eli's Construction Party

So... It's been almost a year in the making, but I'm FINALLY getting around to posting pictures from Eli's birthday party.  Of all the parties for the two boys, this may have been my favorite. :)

 The Invitations:

Trucks available at Target - $1 Each

Silver Chocolate Rocks available through Amazon - $6.89/lb... there's more than enough for the invitations; I reserved some and used for the cake!



The table - black tablecloth with yellow duct tape down the middle to look like a road

Hard Hats, Construction Vests, and Waist Aprons all available through Oriental Trading - I used stencils to customize a "toolbelt" for each kiddo who attended.
