Happy Easter!
Happy Easter, y'all! I hope everyone has a great day filled with love, family & friends!
I've gotta shower & get ready. We're heading to Bass Pro to get pictures with the Easter Bunny & have an egg hunt. Then lunch at home with Ian's family. After, we're heading to my Dad's. Very busy day planned but I'm excited.

Hope:

Journey:
Journey to new worlds, new possibilities, by remaining open-minded. Try to learn something new every day, and you’ll grow.
Know:
Know that no matter how bad things seem, they’ll always get better. The warmth of spring always follows the harshest winter.

Manage:
Manage your time and your expenses wisely, and you’ll suffer less stress and worry. Then you’ll be able to focus on the important things in life.

Ida Mae
9 years ago yesterday, the most wonderful woman I ever knew left this world. My sweet Granny Ida. I lost her 2 days before my 15th birthday. There's not a day that doesn't pass that I don't think about her. It breaks my heart to think she's not here to know Rhiannon and watch her grow, oh how she would've adored her. I'm just lucky I had her in my life to teach me how to love & how to be a strong woman. I love you, Granny Ida. <3
