My Maid of Honor, Jenny

Do I really need to introduce this Great woman to you guys.. okay..i will...My Maid of Honor is my Comadre Jenny. Who better to stand by me than someone who seen me go through some crazy ass crap in my life (see below under, "My Bestest Friend"..;-) )

She will stand by my side as I marry the man I had asked God for.

Through good and bad and no judgements. 

My Matron of Honor, Maria A.

You've all seen this great woman before..this is My Maria (as Michael and I refer to which we are talking about, mine or his...just when you thought his and hers was just limited to towels)
When I lived in LA, Maria was a strong back bone for me and helped me to survive. It's only right that she stand up with me along with Jenny. She is truly my Sister!!! 

My Bridesmaid, Trina

Here is my sweetheart of dear friend who is one of my Bridesmaids...Trina was one of the girls that I met when I moved to Los Angeles. I 've always said Trina is so spiritual that if I needed to speak to God I could talk to Trina and my message would get to him...I love you gurl!!!! 

My Bridesmaid and Michael's Best Friend, Maria

Here we have ANOTHER Bridesmaid, Maria. Maria is Michael's Best Friend from college, she is the first person from Michael's friends that I met and hit it off perfectly.
This picture is from her wedding in 2005, Michael was a groomsman. 

From Rivals to Bridesmaid

Oh, here is another dear friend, Brenda. Brenda and I met oh..what is like 7 years ago, because of a boneheaded ex i had..Okay ready for this...My ex (no, not Milton) broke up with me to date Brenda, then later cheated on both of us with the other..did you get that? He later would tell us lies about one another so we'd end up hating each other...instead through God's Grace..we became very good friends.
This picture was taken at her wedding in 2005, I was one of her Bridesmaids...Brenda is also one of my Bridesmaids..

Rough Day at Work

Okay...today was a rough day..if I hadn't told you already i'm in the mortgage industry and the end of the month is our most crucial time of the month because we're trying to get a lot of loans funded so we ALL could get paid. Well..it was rough because I had 3 deals fall out and I missed my friggin bonus because of that...that money would have come in handy for the wedding. Ugh..
it really pisses me off.

My Sista' Maria and I

Hello All,
I'd like to introduce you to Maria..THIS woman is theeee most amazing person I know. I met Maria about..oh...almost 10 years ago. we met through my boneheaded ex...whom from now on we'll refer to as "bonehead". He introduced us when Isis (my daughter) and I moved to LA with him. I didn't know anyone in LA and Maria was the first person I met. They WERE ("were" being the opperative word here) best friends.

When I first started living in LA I was a very conservative dresser (grunge and turtlenecks with blazers..ugh) It was Maria that showed me how appreciate what God had given me and not hide them. One of us likes to put them on a shelf, I won't say who, I'll just say .."It ain't ME!!!" But it did help me to have more self confidence in me as a woman. I guess that is why NOW i have wonderful Fiance'....do I thank HER for that? Naw...cuz she'll let that go to her head.

I never had sisters but God truly blessed me with one when I met her. She was a strong force in my left when shit with "bonehead" when REAL bad. After ALL the B.S. he put Isis and I through, Maria and I stayed very close and she cut ties with "bonehead" and she stayed in MY life. Thank you Lord. This wonderful woman is my Matron of Honor. 

My Bestest Friend in the whole wide world!!!

This is my comadre Jenny (Comadre means Co-mother...she is my daughter's Godmother) I met Jenny when I was....oh let's see ..20-21..yeah 21. I couldn't stand her ass when I met her, I thought she was to friggin' perky and annoying as hell. We use to work together at...let's see if y'all remember this.. Jay Jacobs at Lakewood Mall. WOW!! long time ago. But after 6 hours working together in the store during inventory...she grew on me and she has been my bestest friend since.

She never judges when I screw up or feel like shit because I did. She's the first one I told I was pregnant when I couldn't tell anyone. She even tried to make me believe she was helping me "plot" my escape from my family to secretly have the baby in Chicago and she would raise her as her own. (no, this was not a episode of "All My Children" wait maybe it was and that's where I got this genious idea) She is truly a blessing in my life and I hope my daughter is equally blessed with a best friend like her. As you can see I had my daughter and never told her Jenny was her real mother...Just kidding!!!!She is also my Maid of Honor!!!! I love you Gurl!!! 

Okay, think I'm good at this...

So, yes..now I think I can get this "Blog" thing down. I looooove to write and the one thing I always wanted was for people to read what I had to say.

Isn't it funny how when men get sick they think they are dying? My fiance has a cold and he swears he's on his death bed. Men. "Honey, rub my back" Honey, massage my head? Baby, can you make me some soup...ppllease..." Us women...what are we doing when we're sick? We get the kids ready for the sitter, we attempt to put some sort of makeup on, manage to put a decent outfit together to go to work and we make the kids breakfast (okay...wait that some one else, I don't cook), well anyway you get the point. we still manage to do all this and not to mention save the world in the middle of being sick without even breaking a sweat. Damn...we're near darn invinceable (Is that right? it's late, I worked a 13 hour day and I can't think if the word is spelled right)...God love them...I guess that's why we were sooooo blessed to bare children, because they of course couldn't handle it.

Dleesaa
