Fear Struck Down....

So I have a had a few fears in my life.

I know fear isn't from God, however this is something that has been ummm very real in my life.

Since living in the area we have lived in the last almost 2 years, some people have suggested for me to get a weapon.... specifically a gun. Ummm NOOOOO!!!

I hate them. Backstory to why I hate them but I do. Everything about them.

Well today I was at a birthday party and they live on some acreage and well the opportunity presented itself. With the encouragement from some friends I shot it!!!

I had tears, and was scared out of my mind but I did it.

That puts me no where closer to purchasing one or having one in my home, however I held it, and shot it and well.... not sure how I feel but I did it.

Here are a few pics....

Oh and yes I'm in a skirt (at least i traded the heels for flip flops)

Oh and my stomach is sticking out and ummm making me look prego and I'm totally Not... I blame on camera angel.

So please tell me a fear that you need to stand on.... even if its completely strange!!!

North VS South Weather Version

So me being from the North (Indiana) and living in Michigan for several years have a love for snow and fall :) However I have also lived in New Orleans and now here in Georgia where all things are Hot and winter is a wet cold.

I know that people think I'm nuts for loving the North and it's great weather, however I just don't see pleasure in 100 + degrees everyday for months (where we live now), It's plain nasty and sweaty.

When I lived in the North there was an Elite group of people who called them self "Snowbirds". They leave the North and the beginning of Winter and head to the South mostly Florida and enjoy the 70-80 degree winter weather there.

So if you could choose weather wise, would you live in the North or the South ???

Oh and for the record I don't mind cold and snow for like 6 months of the year I do mind 100 degree's + for over a month....

My random thoughts.

*Complete sad to me that my two oldest have been back in school for almost a week.

(I'm a mom who actually gets sad when my kids go back to school)

* My hair has had 3 hairstyles in less than a month. It's true. Before I took a two week journey back up North I had it cut. When I got to Michigan again I felt a little bit more edgy so chopped some more. Than I got blessed with some fabulous highlights.

(Here is a funny side view of the final hair, and yes I'm pretending to kiss this fabulous chic! She is my BFF)

* Returning from out 2 week journey to the great North my daughter Ellianna became scared of her room. We have prayed, switched the worship music, tried different stories before bed. She doesn't even want to play in there ??? Any suggestions ??? Seriously this came on so randomly??? Isn't she cute thought ?

* Pretty sure if Child Protective Services get's a hold of this next photo I would be locked up. When in reality we had been in the car for way many hours (talking double digits) and we had stopped to get slushies and I thought it would be funny to post on fbook how tired they all looked and that yes we were getting slushies in our pj's. I however did not pay attention to the backdrop one bit. Yup super mom right here!

Shaking head.
