I'm a walking accident...

Lets be honest I’m not good at a lot of things. I’m horrible at keeping up with a regular blog. I can’t follow directions even when a GPS is directing me. I always manage to misplace the exact thing I need two days later, and I hate regular showers. Working 8-5:30 is not my cup of tea and it really makes it almost impossible to be good at things, so sue me. I decided I needed a...

much needed weekend....

This weekend was much needed and very relaxing. I hung out Friday night with an old friend from High school who was in town. We drank, talked, laughed, and stayed out entirely too late. Saturday morning, I went to brunch with Ashley in deep ellum and after we walked around the outdoor market where I stumbled upon a couple of deals I couldn’t pass up. Like this mug which reminds me of my...

Fun Fact Friday

Well folks another week has come and gone and here’s what you missed in the life of yours truly. 1. This entire week I woke up earlier than usual, fixed my hair and looked presentable Monday-Friday. This truly is a first and a monumental moment in my life. I’d like to take a moment of silence to thank my mother…. 2. I weighed myself for the first time in about a month (I...

Throwback Thursday

Today’s throwback is dedicated to my very favorite little brother, Moses Zuniga. When he was first born, did my mother catch me trying to choke him out? maybe. And did I also try to choke him on a second occasion when we were still wee little babes with a jump rope? maybe again. Just look at this face of mine, would I ever do something that evil as a child?? Even if I did, that mischievous face...

Throwback Thursday

I’m kicking off my weekly Throwback Thursday edition by showcasing the past 6 years of friendship I’ve had with my two BFF’s Ashley Alford & Hannah Steffan.

THROWBACK CIRCA 2006…yes this was the first time we had gone to a ‘club’ that was obviously just a classy 18 and up place for us...

I’ve gotta be honest y’all, I’m not a true american. I didn’t vote this election. I tried…but long story short somehow Hereford, TX failed to update my county I’m registered this summer when I renewed my lisense…and of course I didn’t find this out until early voting….typical move ‘Merica!!!

JUSTIN BIEBER!!!!!

Thanks to my AMAZING parents, I was able to make a life long memory with my sweet niece Kaylee this week. We went to her 1st ever concert to see Justin Bieber live!! Honestly it was on of THE BEST shows I’ve seen live. Partly because I got to witness my sweet Kay’s excitement and because Justin Bieber seriously is a great performer. Monday morning we went early to the AAC to wait out...

Fall :)

This weekend was simply glorious. My sister and the girls came into town for the weekend and we had a blast. We did everything fall related, as well as enjoyed the cool, cold weather that came through Dallas this weekend. We had brunch at Oddfellows, my absolute favorite. After we went and picked out some pumpkins to carve at ol Tomb Thumb. Every year since my sister and I were little we...

It's always good to try something new...

Have you ever said, “this year i’m going to try (fill in the blank)” or “I’ve always wanted to try (fill in the blank)” Well, I got sick of saying it, and decided that I’m going to literally fill in my blanks! I have been trying new things and changing my normal routine this month, and I’m loving it. I’ve ALWAYS loved change, I like the thrill...

Life Lately

I went home this past weekend/week. It was wonderful. I spent plenty of time with the rents, my daddy is a saint and he washed my car, waxed it, got some things fixed, and made sure my license was renewed. My momma and I spent some quality time together, went thrifting, and on walks at night with my sweet momma. My brother taught me some guitar as well, it was wonderful. :) Baby pup Walter is...

So without further a dew let me update you all on the past changes that have taken place in my wonderful life. I MOVED!!! into South Side Lamar Lofts in the heart of Downtown Dallas. Lets just say I absolutely LOVE my new home, especially the view and all the decorating,...

Perfect?

He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t...

I’m the worst blogger ever. BUT in my defense my life has been consumed with some amazing things. Mainly my new job, & my new thriving Business. Okay so we aren’t thriving yet, but we do have our website as well as many of other things in the works. It’s unreal to have the business growing and becoming what I have dreamed it up to be. It’s exciting but there are days,...

'If I perish, I perish'

Esther was one of the bravest women in the Bible. She did the unthinkable, and was fearless to do it because she acted out of obedience. She is the one who said, I’m gonna do this, and ‘If I perish, I perish.’ And because of her radical obedience, she saved the lives of a generation of her people. Have you ever had that moment in life where suddenly everything comes together....

Psalm 37

TRUST IN THE LORD, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. DELIGHT YOURSELF IN THE LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. COMMIT YOUR WAY TO THE LORD; trust in him, and he will act. BE STILL BEFORE THE LORD & WAIT PATIENTLY FOR HIM; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way. TRUST in the Lord To trust in the Lord is to trust...

Change

I love change, I embrace it, and am the type of person who is always looking for new things to try, new places to explore, and new ways to learn and grow. But sometimes I am so used to my old familiar ways that I miss the change that has already taken place within my heart. The Lord is so loving and gracious to sweetly convict me and show me that change, and remind me of the new creation I have...

Vision in Motion

If you’ve never read my blog post, this is the ONE YOU NEED TO READ. So stop, take a few minutes and read along July 2009- I am in the Philippines serving at KIM Orphanage along side a group of DBU friends and with a group of youth from the church I served at in Hong Kong. We put on what we planned would be a ‘mini’ VBS for the orphans while there. We planned for about 150 kids...

Devotion from: My Utmost for His Highest

This was the devotional today and it could not be more clear that the Lord is speaking to me. All we are called to do is walk in the light. Deserter or Disciple? From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more —John 6:66 When God, by His Spirit through His Word, gives you a clear vision of His will, you must “walk in the light” of that vision (1 John 1:7). ...

Waiting...

After reading a post from Lauren Chandler’s blog, and listening to my nieces ask 100 times if they can open presents, when santa is coming, and when Jesus is Born, I realized that we are all waiting. My sister is waiting to see if her house will sell, and in that wait is constantly challenged to trust the Lord with everything. My nieces are anxiously awaiting midnight on Christmas eve...

Lose Your Life

“Against what all our instincts of self-preservation whisper to us every day, total surrender to Jesus is the safest investment we can make. ” “If anyone would come after me,” he said, “let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it” (Mark 8:34–35).
