Pimpin' with the Pumpkins.

10.11.2012

Life this year sure is full of surprises lately. Not necessarily the BEST of surprises as I've been dealing with a big family emergency that has turned my life upside down...but in the midst of all the confusion, the heartbreak, the anger, the sadness, and the battle between God vs. Evil...I'm hanging in there.

Last Friday was one of the saddest, most depressing days of my life. And in these trying times, I've had  a husband that has been by my side through it all. He has been nothing short of amazing. That man...he is my everything, y'all. There I was crying, frantically trying to get a grasp on everything that's been happening, and Drew picked me up and put me in the car. He said it was time we spent an hour away from work, from the problems and let me focus on something a little more...fun. He made me promise that for ONE whole hour I'd put my phone away, and enjoy time with him. He wanted to cheer me up so what did he do? My To-Do list is growing and stressing me OUT like no other, so Drew decided to take the ONE fun thing on the list and mark it off.

Keep in mind, I had been crying the entire day before these pictures were taken. Like, gross puffy eyes which later led to an eye infection that has made me wear my glasses for a week now.

DDHP turned my frown upside down. He took me to the pumpkin patch. And guess who was waiting for me? My nephew, Ty. Talk about melting my heart.















If Drew and I were scarecrows...this would be us.

Boy Scarecrow: "Hey sexy...Nice smile."
Girl Scarecrow: "I love you."








Needless to say, Drew cheered me up.

Happy Thursday! :)

  4. Praying for you, sending you love and love and love!!! Feeling better yet? I hope that everything turns out okay! And as I always repeat this when I'm going through tough times or tough moments:

    "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference."

    Also, give DDHP a huge hug from me because he's such an amazing hubby to you and definitely put a perfect smile on that pretty face of you.

    End of too long comment. XOXO

  21. Keeping you in my prayers, Shalyn. DDHP is just as lucky to have you as you are to have him. You two are a match made in heaven. Tell him that I think his hair rocks, by the way.

    Oh, and the pumpkin with all the growths on it is absolutely repulsive. I couldn't stop staring at it. -__-
