30 Day Challenge: Day 2: Meaning behind your blog name
I feel that the title of my blog is pretty self explanatory but I will explain anyway! This blog isn't just stories about the great things in my life, its a place for me to vent my frustrations and share my heartaches. That's the good and the bad. The furry is because we have two cats that aren't just pets, they are members of our family; my furry children :-) The rest of the title speaks for itself!

Azzie, Friends, New Ideas and Revelations
First I want to say that I am a horrible blogger. I can't seem to blog more than once a month! I am really going to try harder to blog more often so keep checking!
Well as most of you know our little Aslyn is here and yesterday marked her one month birthday! I cannot believe that she has been here a month already. It has gone by WAY TOO FAST and I know it won't slow down. She is a wonderful baby and we all love her so much :-)
Not only is my baby growing too fast but my other baby, Casey, is too. She will be starting school this year and I am not ready to send my little girl to school. She is more than ready though. She is so smart and I know she will love school. It's always hard to send one of your kids to school for the first time because you know that this is the beginning of the end of childhood. I know now that she is in school she will grow up right before my eyes. We are very proud of her and can't wait to see how she does, despite my depression about it lol.
I want to give a special shout out to someone who over the last few months has become my best friend. Shauna is an amazing wife and mother but to me she is the best friend I have right now. There isn't a day that goes by that she doesn't text or call to see how I am doing or to tell me she is praying for me. I feel like I can talk to her about anything and she listens. If I don't hear from her one day I think something is wrong! lol She is the first person in a very long time that I feel like I need to talk to everyday. I know she truly cares for me and that she is thinking of me often. I am so thankful that God brought her into my life. Thank you Shauna for being such a great friend when I need one the most. I love you!
God has taught me something recently that was definitely a lesson I needed to learn. Lately I have been struggling for acceptance from a certain individual. It was to the point where I was going out of my way to make this person like me. It was mentally and emotionally exhausting. I couldn't understand what I could have done to deserve this feeling of rejection. In our Wednesday night ladies Bible study we are discussing idols. I have learned that we can make anything or anyone an idol in our life. I saw that I was making being accepted and loved by a certain person an idol in my life. I was so focused on it that I let it bring me down and tear me up inside. I realized that God brings people in our lives for certain reasons and He can remove them at anytime if His work through them is done in our life. I do not think that this person will be removed from my life. I just think that I must learn to wait on God's timing not my own to bring them back. I have to be patient and not take this absence personally. I did not do anything wrong and I cannot control the actions of others or change Gods plan for me. I have so many other people in my life right now that can help fill that void and they are doing a great job. I am content with that. God has done so many wonderful things in my life and there is no reason for me to doubt His intentions now. Its amazing how easily and quickly this small matter became a huge idol for me. If you are having trouble with anything or anyone coming before God in your life you should read Counterfeit Gods by Tim Keller. Its a great book and has done wonders for me so far! Its such a wonderful feeling when you finally realize that its ok to Let Go and Let God :-)
I am so excited because cheerleading has started again and this year is going to be INCREDIBLE! The girls this year are such a blessing. They work so well together and are all so talented. They went to cheer camp at KSU this year and came home with several well deserved awards. We are so proud of them for working so hard! I cannot wait to see them continue to grow over this school year. I am very blessed to be able to work with them :-)
I am excited to announce that I am starting my very own handmade novelty business. I am going to hand make things such as tutus, purses, bow holders, diaper cakes, etc. and sell them! I am going to call it Mommy and Me Couture and I cannot wait to get started! I plan to sell my items at farmers markets, craft fairs, online, etc. I am already working on a website to advertise my items, photography, and cleaning services. I have always wanted to be in business for myself but also work from home and make my own hours. I cannot think of a better way! I will make sure to keep you posted as it develops!
