H5 Christmas 2018

Been MIA for so long I don't know where to start...….
I've decided to make changes to our lives and no longer travel balling or making ourselves so consumed with sports and life we don't get to enjoy it. It has been the biggest blessing relieving the stress of being overloaded and way to damn busy. Ill do a post on all that later to play catch up.

This has been one of my favorite Christmases ever. WHY???
Since not being overwhelmed by being overloaded with kids practices and sports I had time to do other things. My SIL and I were at Sam's Club in October and I saw a few things I wanted to grab for Christmas gifts but I knew if I waited until Christmas it would be gone so I after my SIL talking me into it I picked them up and that was the best decision due to tremendous Christmas spirit and holiday prepping to follow. When I would see something I would pick it up and not wait and that gave me a huge advantage in not being rushed and was able to enjoy the Christmas Holiday so much I decided I would take the girls Friday morning black Friday shopping with my mom and cousin wife and we had so much fun I want to make that into a yearly thing. My SIL and I also had a Gansta Wrappa brunch which will be every year now.

Santa enjoyed being able to get the kids list this year and also find a few little extra surprises

Work it Wednesdays

 
1. To complete this monthly link up
I have slacked on the blogging world so I am going to try and get back into blogging

4 Simple Rules: Never miss a Monday, Never go 3 days without exercise, workout at least 3 days a week, and never give up.:
 
 
3. Complete a project off my home project list
Yes, there is such a thing as a warm gray, so don't dismiss this hot neutral as too cold. It's been called the new brown and the new black, but New York City designer Jenny Wolf considers gray the new white. "It's a nice alternative to white," she says. "It's neutral. It's timeless.":

Got a little Lost



I have let the blog go along with my life that I have always been able to controlled. We have been so crazy busy that I didn't have time to worry with the blog or anything basically. My world as I knew it was spun so far out of control and I was overwhelmed. I would always say at the new year I was going to slow down and enjoy that year little did I know it would only get busier. 3 kids who plays every single sport they can get their hands on a husband whose work requires working 9 months of the year mostly 10-15 hour days 7 days a week, the kids school which is anything but organized, and a house that needed my attention was beginning to get the best of me and I let it do just that. I was out of control and didn't even care because I was so overwhelmed it was easier to ride the crazy train instead of take back control over it but I hated every minute of it and wasn't enjoying anything instead I was miserable and I simply can't keep going like this.
I began to pray and ask God to guide me and give me wisdom and strength to take back my life. As I began praying and asking for help for putting him first I began seeing things in a different light and after talking to a friend she said something that opened my eye wide open and it went deep to my heart. She said I know you don't want to hear this but I'm going to tell you anyway (because she is that good of a friend she didn't care she knew what I needed to hear) she said the reason you are struggling with this is because you are not fully turning it over to God. As she said those words I knew right then and there her words were the truth. I was praying to God asking him to help me slow down and enjoy life and get my little world back in control but I was hoping he was going to answer my prayers instead of being fully committed and instead of hoping I had to have the Faith and put 100 percent trust in him.

As I began looking back on the blog and going through old post I loved seeing all the memories and reading the details of that moment. I am going to set goals for 2017 but not unreachable goals I would normally choose. I am currently praying for my word for 2017 as long as the goals I need to set for myself

A new series I couldn't put down



I've been slacking on the blog all because I have been reading away and enjoying every minute of it. Sometimes I don't want to tread of feel guilty like I should be using that time doing something productive but I've told myself I enjoy it and so I'm taking time out to do it.
 
 The first series of books I want to share are Jade Series.
These book are written by Allie Everhart. There are 8 books in this series and then the author went back and wrote the other stories to some of the important characters in this book.
I would recommend these books and at first I didn't know if I wanted to tread them due to myself being older and thought I was going to be really young and totally cheesy but it wasn't at all. I would describe it as a romance and a mystery it will keep you guessing and assuming up until the end.
Choosing You (The Jade Series #1) by Allie Everhart http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FCEBAEE/ref=cm_sw_r_pi_dp_qw5ixb1J9Y7XF:
When Jade is given a scholarship to an elite private college in Connecticut, she sees it as a chance to finally escape her painful past and get a fresh start. She’s determined to succeed and that means keeping her focus on school and not guys. But that plan falls apart her first day on campus when Garret, a wealthy prep school boy with swimmer abs and a perfect smile, offers to help her move in.
Jade tries to push him away but she can’t deny her attraction to him and Garret won’t let her. Things quickly heat up between them, but then come to a sudden halt when reality hits and Jade realizes that a relationship with Garret may never be possible. He comes from a world of wealth where there are rules, including rules about who he can date. And not following those rules has consequences.
As the two of them try to overcome the obstacles working to keep them apart, Jade is confronted with another challenge. On her 19th birthday, she receives a letter that her now deceased mother wrote years ago. In it are revelations that explain her traumatic childhood but also make her question the past she’s been running from.

Book 2
Knowing You (The Jade Series #2) by Allie Everhart http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GEB7LM4/ref=cm_sw_r_pi_dp_stmhxb0NPNEAK:

Now that Garret’s decided he’s no longer following the rules of his wealthy family, he can finally develop a closer relationship with Jade. Things are going well, but Jade still worries that being with Garret is only temporary. And because of that, she’s not sure how much of herself and her past she’s willing to let him see. 
Garret does all he can to assure Jade that the two of them can last, but convincing her of that is difficult when she’s never trusted anyone. So he has to show her, by being there when she needs him the most, even when she tries to keep him away.
The mysterious letter from Jade’s mom still haunts her and now she’s getting threatening phone calls. Someone from Jade’s past will stop at nothing to keep his secrets from getting out. And his number one secret is Jade. 


Book 3
Loving You (The Jade Series #3) by Allie Everhart http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H9GMPYM/ref=cm_sw_r_pi_dp_Ytmhxb05PEAMY:
Since meeting Garret on her first night at college, Jade's had to overcome many obstacles to be with him, including interference from Garret's father.
Now, months later, it seems that Mr. Kensington has finally accepted Jade dating his son, but the reason for that is unclear. After what Jade witnessed at the Kensington mansion, she's not sure what his acceptance of her means. Is she tied to his family forever now that she knows some of their darkest secrets?
Spring semester begins at Moorhurst College and a new student arrives who has a little too much interest in Garret's family. And a little too much interest in Jade.
Garret continues to win Jade's heart with romantic gestures that make her love him even more. It seems like everything is starting to work out for Jade, but as her mother used to say...Good things never last. Or do they?
 
 

There are the first 3 books and a review of the book you can go review the others on amazon.
