Love

We love because it’s the only true adventure.” - Nikki Giovanni

There are so many different types of love. All unique and special.

Before I became a parent, almost six years ago, I did not understand the love a parent has for a child. I can not even find the words to describe the love you have for someone you created. Watching them grow, learn and become a person. It’s an amazing experience.

Romantic love is great. The butterflies in your stomach you get when you hear that special someone’s voice. The feel of their touch lights your body on fire. The thought of them makes you smile.

Falling in love for the first time is amazing. The feeling was new, unconditional and exciting. I remember that no matter what anyone told me, I only could focus on that feeling.

The love you have for your family is strong. This love is normally tested though. We all have those family members who like to push our buttons. At the end of the day, they are your family and you love them regardless.

Love for friends can be as strong as the love for family members. I consider close friends an extension of my family. Many of mine have been there for me more than some of my family.

There is no love like mother to child, none like falling in love, none like first time love, none like family and friend love. Love is so complicated and so simple at the same time. It is an emotion so deep you can literally feel it. It can make you smile, cry and jump for joy. It can make your day brighter and your life complete. The greatest adventure.

The Wedding Industry

Today while chatting with my girls we began discussing the wedding industry. The hoopla and money associate with a wedding. During this conversation I stated that how happy I am I didn’t stick with the original budget we had for our wedding. How I would be mad if I had spent that much now that I am married. Some times I feel like I am anti-weddings. It might be from being on The Knot (TK) since this past July. Or seeing couples, especially the women, put so much work, time and focus into their wedding and its over in a snap! Some spend a year or more planning their wedding. Researching, looking, buying and stressing over every detail of it and the day is over before you know it. I am NOT saying don’t do what YOU want, but do NOT get caught up in the hype! I mean seriously, would you put this much time in planning a party? A get together? A retirement party? Nope... so why your wedding? It's technically a party. It is a celebration of your union. Definition of wedding (1) a marriage...

Inappropriate Questions

I am the queen of asking questions. I ask because I rather ask than assume, but I try not to ask inappropriate questions. If only others would do so too! Here are some I get and/or hear. “What grade are you in?” Um stupid motherf’er I am GROWN! Notice the diamonds on my left hand and my wedding band. The nice business casual clothes! This is a question I get atleast once a month from some random stupid person that don’t know me and they usually get a rude response. I mean if you are observant enough to look at me and think I’m that young you need to really be observant! And I’m a sistah, yes with a H! Yall know black don’t crack! “When are you due?” This one always makes me laugh when someone ask a woman who has a muffin top stomach and is NOT pregnant! I know it’s funny to me since I don’t get that question, but still how ignorant is that! “When are you having kids?” Um lets see, never! Why are you all in our sex life? I mean really! I am going to start saying, “We ...

Single In the City blog #1

As I previously stated I am doing a Single In the City blog on BAB . I will copy them over here after they have been posted there a few days. I will title them SITC then number them, depending on how long the title I might include them in the title on here. If it's long I'll just put it in the post! So here is the first one! Enjoy! Single, Taken, Engaged, Married, Single Again I was married on October 7th, 2007 in an intimate ceremony at The Stanley House , a beautiful Southern home in metro Atlanta. Our wedding day was three months after we became engaged. I put a lot of work into planning our special day, but now that I look back I realize it was not that serious. Not because we are no longer together. Because of the stress and pressure I added on myself. I am sure you are wondering why we are not together. Well, neither of us is perfect. R, the ex-husband, felt that some of the agreements we made before getting married were no longer acceptable. He is in the military, a...
