Happy Birthday Baby Girl

So Saturday, March 7th 2015, my baby girl turned 15. There were a lot of feels <3

Happy 15th birthday to the most beautiful daughter I could have ever dreamed of calling my own. Adiana Skye, you are kind, loving, smart, funny, athletic, beautiful inside and out! You have a lovely singing voice, you're not afraid to follow your heart. You remove yourself from situations you don't agree with, You choose your friends carefully, your dreams are constantly changing and always sound amazing. So far you've wanted to be a scientist, an Olympian, a teacher, a concert violinist, an artist, an actor, a dancer, a whale trainer, a dog rescuer...the list goes on and on. I know what ever you end up doing you'll be amazing at it. I love you baby girl, with all my heart. You make me proud to be your Mom, every single day. Happy birthday!!!!!

8th Grade - 2014

My baby girl had a BIG day today! Not only did she start 8th grade, but she started it at a brand new, gigantic public school!

I thought her heart was going to beat right out of her chest this morning...she was SO nervous! But it didn't, and she came to the car this afternoon with a smile in her face. She likes most of her teachers, saw some familiar faces in the halls and even made a new friend. I'm so excited for her. I know this year is going to be awesome!! 

Isn't she adorable?!

The Smart Ride 2014

Hello, friends! I am super excited to write this blog post.
If you don't know me personally, you may not know that I have a pretty amazing fiancé. His name is Avel and he is a top notch guy! Just one of the MANY awesome things he does is cycling. He's been a cyclist almost his entire life. He rides some seriously long rides...just for fun! I can't even imagine how hard that is, but he loves it and it keeps him healthy & sane. He's even recently introduced his son to the sport, and riding together makes him extremely happy. It's great to see them bonding over this.

In November Avel will be taking his love of cycling and using it to raise money for others. He will be participating in the Smart Ride (Southern Most AIDS/HIV Ride). It is a 165 mile ride from Miami to Key West. The event raises money that will be given to AIDS Service Organizations and directed to prevention, education and direct services. You can read more about this amazing organization on their website. Please take a few moments to read his HOMEPAGE and consider donating to help Avel reach his goal.
Please share this post with anyone you'd like, the more donations Avel gets the better! You can leave a comment at the bottom of this blog post to send him encouragement too! Thanks!!

Found On My Phone

These are some outtakes I found in my camera roll from this week. They made me chuckle.

Skye thought my hair looked crazy, so she offered to fix it before our photo.
