It aint all roses...

This Project we call marriage… I must say…..it is work, work, work and more work. It has been over 2 months and already since we have been married and I can official say the “Honeymoon is OVER”. Yeah I know you can say that is too soon but it is. It is now full time work mode, excuse me wife mode. I must say…… So keep us in your prayers as we journey down this path and pray for the better understanding and communication for us both. I know you were expecting all gushy blog but not every time I write you will get that. Much blessing to you all and the sky is the limit.

P.S. Black, I have not forgotten about your Superstar Blog.
Love,
Dallas

One Month Anniversary

Today, one month ago; I married my friend. The one I laugh with, play with and enjoy all my time. I must say I have been on true cloud nine and in wedding bliss. I am so happy that all my dreams came true and I was able to marry my friend. Things have been great and truly a blessing. I am still getting use to my new last name and people calling me by my new name. Other than that, I have no complaints. I just need to get out of the clouds, get back on Project GTFO, and terminate my employment services with GMAC and everything will be LOVELY.

Until the next time,
Mrs. Dallas

P.S Happy Birthday Cupcake.

Relaxing

So call me selfish… I have not blog and really, because Megan keeps asking for one so I decided to post a brief one. I’ds married and enjoying my honeymoon. I am so laid back right now and enjoying my husband company. I am happy to feel relax and excited we are married and the wedding is finally over. So how was the wedding? It was nice and I really enjoyed myself. The best part I was able to exhale and breathe it is over and we done it and I married my best friend. Therefore, what are the plans for right now? Simple. Enjoy time with my new husband and live on cloud 9. The most heard question. I keep hearing is: pictures where are they. Simple I have the proofs (been had them) and made a choice on not sharing them so publicly on the internet. I feel like it was a real intimate moment with my husband and need to be share with my family and friends only and not the whole cyper space. I will post only a few just as I did my engagement pictures and will share the albums in person or on a personal email exchange. The second most heard question; " When are you all going to have a baby?" Answer: When we are ready and God says it is time. Right now we are fine with Pooh Bear; that recently turned a terrible 2. Third question, " What have you been up too?" Enjoying each other and quiet time. We have already spring clean the house, I have spring clean some un-needed associations, and about to re start my career search. We all know from 7am to 5pm I am purely MISERABLE. My job sucks completely and is truly beyond repair of me trying to stay. I have been actively searching and praying a new career comes my way so I can be completely stress free.

Until next time,
Dallas

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 Friend

Can I say... because "He is my Friend"

You know I went to my friend, "Q." wedding on Saturday and all I could think about is I cannot wait until it is my day. The groom shed a tear as soon as he seen the bride. (* I thought that was too sweet*). Terick tells me everyday he is not shedding tears, so I will not see that on my day.

I been thinking all week, since Shanita pointed out, I have 2 weeks until show time. Thank God, Terick and I are friends. It has been a long 8 years. We have been through a lot to the point I was like Camellia it is over. She swore up and down no it is not. I must say Camellia; you made a liar out of me. When I first met Terick, we were friends for a few months. It was not boyfriend and girlfriend at once; I was not trying to hear that. I was attending Southern, should I say more. (*insert huge smile*) Next thing I know, I started sharing everything with Terick, he confides in me, and we became great friends. Till this day I tell him a lot because he is my friend. We play all day around the house, joke all day. That is my friend. I cannot imagine another person to play drunken UNO with.

Until next time 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
