Time is ticking!

Well I do not have too long, just 16 days left to the royal ball. I cannot wait. I am sure, when the day comes, I will be fussing….. saying that it is going by too fast. I am so humble and ready for the experience. Even though when you get advice from others they seem to act like marriage is a plague to avoid and the worst thing in life. I wish at times people could just be happy and not let there sour experiences damper someone’s joy. There is nothing wrong with being concern but there is also nothing wrong with love. Just because you burnt your hand on the stove a couple of times, does not mean you will always do it. You have to have faith, and patience. It will not always be cloud 9 but whenever anything is. I am so happy we are friends and truly enjoy each other’s company. Now I am not going to act like everyday is roses but it is surely close. Take time to have fun and enjoy life. Remember prayer answers all…… Life is too short for misery. I am surely praying because I need direction in a career not a job a career. I am searching for my passion and I feel as long as I believe, I will receive. :O)

Until next time……Dallas

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
I CORINTHIANS 13:4-7 NIV

Lord,
Because love is patient....Help me to be slow to judge, but quick to listen. Hesitant to criticize, but eager to encourage, remembering your endless patience with me.
Because love is kind.... Help my words to be gentle and my actions to be thoughtful. Remind me to smile and to say "Please" and "Thank You" because those little things still mean so much. Because love does not envy or boast, and it is not proud.... Help me have a heart that is humble and sees the good in others. May I celebrate and appreciate all that I have and all that I am, as well as doing the same for those around me.
Because love is not rude or self-seeking....Help me to speak words that are easy on the ear and on the heart. When I'm tempted to get wrapped up in my own little world, remind me there's a great big world out there full of needs and hurts.
Because love is not easily angered and keeps no record of wrongs.... Help me to forgive others as you have forgiven me. When I want to hold onto a grudge, gently help me release it so I can reach out with a hand of love instead.
Because love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth....Help me stand up for what is right and good. May I defend the defenseless, and help the helpless. Show me how I can make a difference.
Because love always protects and always trusts....Help me to be a refuge for those around me. When the world outside is harsh and cold, may my heart be a place of acceptance and warmth. Finally, because love always perseveres.... Help my heart continually beat with love for You and others. Thank you for this day when we celebrate love, and for showing us what that word really means. Amen

The Reflections of a Birthday Girl

It was the first time in all that I could remember, that I did not celebrate my birthday all Vixen style. Now those that know me, know how Vixen style it can get. I mean I go all out. Well this year, I just relaxed and did what I wanted to do and guess what that was……. nothing. With the wedding coming up it is so hard for me to get a moment of “me time”. I am not complaining. I see it as a blessing. Terick and I went into this wedding not knowing how we were going to pull it off and God has done it all. What more can I say?
I think the cutest thing on my birthday is Terick walking up and asking me, “How does it feel to be Mrs. TD in a few weeks.” All I could do is smile.
In addition, my brother calling with Jaylin on the line and stated Jaylin need to tell me something and next thing I know…….Jaylin hollering in the background and Joe goes, he is singing Happy Birthday :O)

Until I blogg again ……….Dallas

My Bridal Shower on 7-12-08

Hello Everyone and welcome to my blog spot.....

I decided to blog my last 30 days as Miss Dallas and enlighten all my family and friends on my joyful experience. I am so excited that I am at the point till I can not wait till it is all over with and we are husband and wife. I am so thrilled on what our future have to hold. But enough of that.... Lets get to the bridal shower that I had last week. Can I say I had a lovely time and it was pretty. I must say I have the best bridal party EVER minus one.... (Natasha Rutlegde, I miss ya). So here is how my day went. I woke up sad cause my best friend Kerrick past the morning before and no one told me... any who a different story. I was running around most of the day trying to get ready and force myself to look presentable. Since I am very much on time to important events I get a call from Tonia and she advised me to be late to my party...LOL

When I got to Tiffany house it was to pretty and the decorating were so nice and look at my party favors.... I had my own water. Now ain't that a Queen honey. I show all my friends but guess who missing....... my mom. Fashionable late as ever trying to make a GRAND ENTRANCE of being well over an hour late. (*frown*) So when the now formal queen made it the party got started and i had a ball I must say. Here are a few pictures of my magical day.

The food was so good and the cake was nice. If you missed it you missed out on a whole lot of fun and love. I want to thank my bridal party especially Kristen Singleton my matron of honor. Since I met you in college you have been such a wonderful and non judgement mental friend. You accepted me for who I was and who I was trying to become. A better and god fearing person. You understand it not an overnight process but man I have come a LONG way. You are a complete friend and more than I could ever ask for and thank for my bridal shower at Tiffany new house ( that I must say is so lovely). Tonia I cant want to see what my last night as a single princess will look like, cause if it is anything like I threw for you. I am in for a treat. You will always be my BIG COUSIN, all the HATERS can hate on it. (*insert a HUGE SMILE*) thanks for teaching me how to live the life of a grown woman. Tiffany what can I say. We been threw so much together and I have known you for a long time. You are such a SWEET person and in your best words, "NOT UGLY!". I know you will always be my true friend and I love you. I want to thank all my friends and family for coming.

Until I blog again have a blessed day...... Love, Dallas
