Well this christmas I am in Waycross, Ga...with my husband, my best friend Tenisha, her sister Tamara and Alden. I got three things for christmas. A laptop which I am using right now and I love it, an outfit and a new wedding ring set from Kay Jewelers. Itell you I love this man. He's so good to me I have to give him something...having a man like I have honestly makes me want to be a better wife. I apreciate everything he does for me and I am looking for better days ahead wuth him. I love you Alajuwon.
Other than that I didn't do too much i got some rest that I really needed last week at work was very hectic for me and it's only gonna get even more crazy but my supervisor will be on vacay all next week and I will be enjoying it to the fullest.
I basically spent my holidays with the Flynns. My uncles do a concert every year and this time I lead a sing which was a great honor to me and i believe they were pleased. I thank God for him blessing me for this i am very grateful. I always enjoyed seeing my grandparents and my aunt, uncles and many cousins but one person was missing......my Dad. As I stated in my last post, my father died three years ago but it feels like he just couldn't make it and is still in Atlanta working. It's still hard to believe that He's gone sometimes I do get emotional and I guess after three years I would be better than I was in 2008 and I am a lot stronger than I was but it still hurts sometimes I still wanna cry and hope I hear him tell me it's ok.
I try not to blame myself for the things that happened in the past between him and myself and also with my mother. Oh how I wish things were different but I cannot change everything. Oh how I wish I could take back the things I did or didn't do or even what I thought but I cannot. All I can is that I loved when I was 3, when I was 12 when I was 19 and now that I am 26. I love you Richard Venturi Flynn and I always will...

What's been going on
Well it has been a minute since I blogged because I haven't really had anything to blog about but I will do another post about my Hair update later.
A lot has been going since October until now. My uncle-in law passed away November 7th due to complications from diabetes that later led to cardiac arrest. He had been sick and had been suffering a very long time and God saw it fit that it was time to call him home. His death was a shocker to my in-laws.... the first to die out 12 kids. Yes 12 kids....my mother in law is the oldest. I saw a lot of people hurt and confused and just in shock. My husband was very hurt and I aslo saw things all but too familiar...I went through the same thing three years ago only it was my father, he died on November 29th 2008 from a heart attack and was the first to die out of 8 kids and the effect was the same. After My uncle Tony's death a lot wasn't the same and the family is slowly and surely getting their lives back on track. Also my husband grandmother was hopsitalized as well during my uncle's death and burial. So please continue to pray for the family of Anthony B. James as well as the family of Richard V. Flynn.
A lot of things were also going on between my husband and I as well not bad but well a bit stressful. Just things that young married couples go through but in the end the Lord blessed us with a new car and it was the car that I always wanted...a Honda Accord. It's a 2004 Honda Accord. I thank God from His Blessings and Never ending favor on me and husband.
Ok now for the reasoning for this title of this post. It's true I really do need to tighten up on a lot of things with home, church, my job, my personal life etc. My husband has really been doing his thing I have to say that I am very proud of him and I love him dearly for it. Lol while I'm sitting at home or at work scratching my head about things he already took care of it. I think that have been lacking a lot of things lately. Well with cooking just to let it be known in my marriage my husband is the cook of the relationship....and this was established way before we got engaged. But I am starting to realized that things will change and expectations will change as we get older...
I want to do more as far as me being a better wife and woman of God. I mean my prayer life slacked off and I haven't been in my bible as well and I've been called out on my bluff many times so I am praying that God supplies my needs in these areas.

Hair Update
Well since the last hair update post my hair was in braids and wearing them did me some good. I kept them moisturized and clean. I must admit I am a scratcher and will never stop anytime soon it's just will be something that I will have to deal with. On October 28 I took them out because the new grow was getting out of had. It took me 4 hours to take them all out....I remember my arms, back and eyes were hurting after I was done. I was 14 weeks post at the time. When I took my braids out my hair was soo soft and shiny... you could really tell I took care of my hair while it was braided. I set my relaxer date for November 4th which would be @ 15 weeks post . I didn't want to relax it as soon as I took my braids out because of all the scratching I did so I decided to wait until the date that I set. To do this I did two protective styles to get through this week...from sunday to wednesday I did a bun out of regular braiding hair that was inspired by a youtuber named MsVCharles...she is natural and I always wanted to do it but never made the time until now. I think form now on this how I am going to do my buns...I really don't like the buns that have the synthetic hair anymore because it looks so unnatural. Because of the unbearable itching i took it out and was about to do a co-wash until one day I was looking at my hair and was really admiring my new growth that I decided to try the bantu knots again after several failed attempts....it was 6:00 when I twisted them and kept them on until it was time for me to go to work.....and it came out really nice and decided to wear them until friday and surprisingly I got a few compliments on my hair as well. When Friday came I relaxed my hair using my #1 fav ORS Olive Oil Relaxer...I use the professional extra strength...I always get good results with my hair when usinf this relaxer. This relaxer was very successful I got no chemical burns at all and no tangles because I decided to rinse my hair in the shower it's so much easier that way but I need to buy a hairstopper so my shedded hair won't keep clogging up the tub.
I decided to air dry my hair because it was almost 11:00 and I didn't eat yet and was tired. Also because I am flat ironing my hair cause my husband wants me to wear my hair down for church tomorrow and I didn't want to use too much heat. My hair looks soo good now that my ends are trimmed and as far as length goes I think I may have some length I don't think I'm APL yet but maybe I'll make it in 2012 my goal is too get to APL at least by my 27th birthday.
Ohh and I just remember that I've been on my hair journey for a year actually it was last week cause I started the last week in October so I am going strong. This stretch was a whole lot better this time cause I was able to manage it by tweaking a few things in my regimen like with my airdrying. Thanks to Hairliscous scarf method air drying is easier now.
So for this stretching season will be just me keeping my hair healthy and I may repeat this process again by getting my hair braided at 10 weeks I will try to make it to 20 weeks before my next relaxer I don't know do ya'll think I make it that far....we shall see. Maybe this time I'll get kinky twists with some color and speaking of color I think I want some color in my hair but I don't know what to get considering the last time I had color in my hair it was 2004 and it ended up breaking my hair out and later on cutting it all off.
