October, my favorite month!

Blogees!

October has always been my favorite month...why?

Reason Number One:

Halloween is in October and I've always been a sucker for Halloween. My mom used to dress me in all kinds of costumes as a baby and once I got older and started choosing my own...well let's just say I had the BEST taste when it came to costumes. I don't remember them all, but I know my sister and I were both Power Rangers one year. I think I was the pink one and she was yellow or maybe it was the other way around. When I was 13 (maybe younger), I was a baby....YUP you heard it folks, a baby. I was a clown another year, a farmer the next, and my favorite was last year's (because I made it myself/with the help of my sister) I was KOOLAID GIRL! :) Unfortunately, this year I decided not to dress up. Not because I couldn't figure out what to be (I have plenty of ideas), but because I really don't have anything to do! On another note, I loved Facebook creeping this past weekend on all of my friends and looking at all of your costumes! :)

Reason Number Two: 

It starts to get cold! Fall is set and winter is coming! I absolutely LOVE snow. Don't like driving in it, but I love to look at it! :) Fashion wise; I love wearing boots, scarves, and cute winter coats/sweaters. Who can go wrong with a super cute outfit?! 

Reason Number Three: 

Starbucks starts bringing back the holiday drinks/treats! If anyone knows me, they know that the past 3 months of my life, I've given at least $300 to Starbucks. Mostly because I find myself going there a lot to study. But who doesn't LOVE a holiday drink?!

Reason Number Four:

FAVORITE REASON OF ALL....

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH!

As most of you may know, my family has been through some crazy thunderstorms and tons of bumps in the road....However the biggest bump we hit was the day my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was diagnosed with Pre Stage 1 Breast Cancer in November 2009 and boy oh boy did it open my eyes to a lot of things. Being the strong woman she is, she conquered her first surgery in December 2009 and battled her way through 4 other surgeries up until March 2011. After new boobs and lots of pain, my mother is now and has been for the past year and a half; BREAST CANCER FREE!
My mom is my hero and the strongest woman I know. She has been through so much throughout her life, but was never the woman to put any of her struggles on anyone else. God has truly blessed me with the most amazing, selfless, beautiful, strong, (the list goes on) mother. She has always put her family first and worried about herself later. No matter what it took, she always did the VERY best she could for us. (AND STILL DOES!) With that said;

Mom; I just want you to know how absolutely PROUD of you I am and how THANKFUL I am for you. You have done SO much for Amanda and I, words can't even explain how amazing you really are. You've taught me so much and raised me to be the woman I am today and I can't thank God enough for blessing me with you! You are the BEST mom a girl could EVER ask for and I'm SO glad you're MINE! (and Amanda's too!) I LOVE YOU! Can't wait to see you in 3 weeks!<3

--PS; I also love the color PINK and it does compliment my skin VERY well. :)

Well, that's all folks!
