I can’t believe Ivy is almost two now! That totally blows my mind!
So for those who don’t know, this beautiful little girl is my best friend’s first child. She knows me as “Aunt Mia” and in all honesty, I absolutely adore this kid. She loves having her picture taken (as you can see) and she understands the concept of a selfie…which is a bit sad, but that’s the world we live in.
^She was feeding me French fries. 🙂
^Tiny rawr face ❤
I’m not a photographer by any means, but I do love my camera! I simply felt like sharing some things that make my life what it is…and a couple of random selfies.
Just playing around with makeup and hair extensions. 🙂
The latest in my collection of Almost Kings merchandise.
Did you know you can make an egg stand on its rounded end during the equinox???

New outfit and new hair
My dad first played this for me when I was a little girl and it has been our song ever since
Stillwater — “Mindbender,” from their self-titled debut album (1977).
Let me start off with this.
I love Jacob. So much. And these five…
I love the way Ryan Yunker [closest to the camera in the photo above] always likes my statuses on Facebook.
And the way we can talk about Avenged Sevenfold constantly.
I love the way Kevin Compton [third from the front in the same photo] told me I was one of his favorite people.
Speaking of the band, I love Almost Kings. That’s them with the broken down van. Ha!
I love this goofball.
I love Lynam. And Within Reason. And The Velcro Pygmies. And Rearview Ghost. And Shallow Side. And Super bob. And Avenged Sevenfold. And Alter Bridge. And Pink Floyd.
I love music, okay?
I love this girl.
And the fact that she sent me a text telling me to be careful and that she loved me one of the last times tornadoes came through Alabama.
I love riding in a car with her, windows down and music up!
I love Harry Potter.
I love books!
I love watching movies with my dad.
And cooking with my mom and my brother.
And hanging out with my best friend Tiffany and her husband and her adorable daughter.
And how cute my cat is when she cleans between her toes.
And dancing onstage.
And singing…
And Alabama football.
I love vegging out with my girls, eating junk food and mocking lame horror movies.
I love video games.
I could go on and on, but I’m going to stop here. Sometimes, I think it’s good to sit down and list the things you love and are thankful for, just to make sure they still outnumber the negatives in your life. Right now, I’d say I have a lot of reasons to be here. =)
Happy New Year!
As the title says, I’m a week late with this, but I just didn’t have the time to blog over the holidays. There was a lot going on.
I have the most amazing little niece (related by friendship, not blood). Her name is Ivy and I just love her to pieces. Look at this face.
Isn’t she sweet?
I spent Christmas Eve with her and the rest of my extended family. My Christmas was amazing! My brother added to my vinyl collection, buying me copies of both Avenged Sevenfold’s Waking the Fallen: Resurrected and Slash’s self-titled record.
Between Christmas and the new year, all I did was work. In fact, I worked on both New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. However, I did get to ring in 2015 with some friends, so I’m not complaining.
I have Almost Kings and Lynam shows to look forward to in February and March. Other than that, I’m just sailing along and enjoying life! 🙂
I hope this post finds all of you well. ❤
