Movie Obsession

Tonight I am slightly....
....Slightly starting to panic. Carrie's Bridal shower is this Saturday and I only have two days left to pull this all together. As stated before, I am a HUGE detail person. I will worry and fuss with the smallest detail to the max. So, This will be my last post for the week & weekend. But, I wanted to leave you with alittle something. Afterall, I'm giving out favors at the shower so consider this your "blogging favor" while I dive into the weekend.
Take a look at a couple of movie trailers that have me OBSESSING over them. As in, I've wachted them both dozens and dozens of times.

#1st up is "The Time Travelers Wife"
It looks STUNNING to my sappy romance chick flick soul. And I cannot wait till August 14th! Now, i havent read the book but just as soon as the shower is over, I have a date to read the Time Travelers Wife. For a full "recap" on this movie, watch the tralier and then check out the website

And then of course there is this little thing you might have heard...

New Moon anyone?

Enough Said. Okay tottally Team EDWARd but...yes, even I admit this, I'm excited to see Taylor/Jacob get his shinning moment. But, the night this comes out...

I'll be 100% rockin my TEAM EDWARD shirt.

Take That.

PS. Notice the New Poll ---> I'm so curious on this one so VOTE!

Jon & Kate

I. AM. SO. UPSET.

Their Divorcing.

I honestly feel so heartbroken for this family.

Team Kate or Team Jon. I was 100% Team Save Marriage.

This show will just not be the same for me.

Fathers Day

My daddy. This is my favorite picture. I've tons of others but for some reason this picture just captures my Dad at a time when little girls depend on their dad's the most. We were at the beach and I was 4. And running to sit on his lap was an every morning thing.

Dear Dad,

Time has ran away with it all and now I'm 23. I may not be that little 4 year old sitting on your lap anymore But, now I'm leaning my head on your shoulders. I love you Dad and I thankful that everytime I see you, You still call me your baby. Your only little girl.

Happy Fathers Day Daddy.

What a blessing it is to be loved by your dad.

To know that when they look at you, They see the prettiest girl in the whole world and no matter how big you get, You'll always be their little Girl.

And this girl, Loves being ...

that little girl.

Carrie is Wise & Bridal Shower "Taste"

Today, I had the lovely pleasure of spending the afternoon with two of my favorite people.

One of them is sweet sixteen.

The other...She's the Elegant bride to be.

Hailey & Carrie.

My cousins.

It was a charming afternoon.

Talk of wedding and bridal showers plans.

Family Gossip.

Lunch.

Followed by a HILARIOUS movie, the Proposal. I HIGHLY enjoyed it and recommend it if you need a laugh. LOTS of it. Not to mention but lookin at the Reynold guy was umm..pretty dang nice too. Wink!

But, that's not what this post is about.

As your probably looking at the pictures first, I'll go ahead and give you a taste--I love that word-- of what Carries Bridal shower will look like. The top photo of Carrie is the one I put in all the invitations that went out for the bridal shower.

It was taken when they had their engagement session and the photographer did some fabulous shots of them alone. So, when I saw this one of Carrie...Well, I just couldn't resist not letting the world see it too.

The remain three are my small sneak peek pictures of my color scheme/design for the Bridal shower.

I've ordered lime green spider mums.

With accents of hot pink polka dot ribbon, Along with large tall vases filled with green limes.

As for the rest, all shall be revealed after the 27th!

I am one for details. Details to the extreme and I'm determined to make this as nice as I can for Carrie.

Now, scroll down for the "reason" for this post!

Tonight, as we were in the car, I was talking to Carrie about life decisions. Your dreams and plans. For me, at 23 years old the major events are starting to come up in ones life. The big one, like marriage and children----NO I NOT ENGAGED---And in one small sentence as we were driving along, Carrie says this statement I know I must have heard a thousand times but it just never really sunk in until to night.

She said "It's never going to be the right moment"

In other words you cant just sit along and wait for things to happen. Not, that I have been sitting along but I have not gone out and made things happen either. And I was saying "Well, its just never been the right moment." To which she said again "When is it ever really the right moment?" And WHAM...a light bulb came on and I thought...Wise...Carrie is wise. Make those moments. MAKE THOSE MOMENTS. Tonight she taught me a lesson about prayer too. Our Heavenly Father already knows our hearts and desires. Pray for things. Don't just think that its being self observant to ask. Let him "hear" from you as a son/daughter of God your hearts desires. Make it that moment. Say things in that moment. For you'll end of "waiting for the right moment" when you could move and act on the moment.

Wise. Carrie is Wise.

Im Alive.

Somewhere in my Memory I was supposed to have done a "celebrate" 200th post.

Welp, that didn't happen.

Blame it one the rain I've endured.

Blame it on late night book reading.

Blame it on looking at photos of Rob Pattinson online.

Blame it on TONS of Bridal showers plans X 2.

Or simply

Blame it on the fact that I just didn't get around to doing it.

Alas, so here we are.

Did anyone get as tired of seeing my summer post below as much as I did?

Oh wait, you can't answer that. Duh Tierra!

So about that no comment thing.

I closed the poll early and the result was...

Yes! I need a Voice.(21%)
If your ready. (57%)
Nope. I like this "No pressure" (21%)

So, am I ready for comments back?

Not at this time. And really, to be honest it's not that I'm "not ready" its simply,

I am loving this no pressure thing.

Do I miss hearing from you?

ABSOLUTELY but to be honest, I'm enjoying the no pressure of having to comment back. You see, I've seen others say how hard it is to get to everyone who has commented and that's how it was for me. Right now, I just don't have the time to sit at the computer comenting away.

Do I still make it to your blogs?

When I see that it has an update. If you don't have a follow button then I'm really sorry but I rarely get there everyday.

Do I comment to everyone?

I still comment but not to every post or everyone. I comment if I have the time. Or I see something that I would like for you to know.

Does this mean I find your blog less appealing?

NO! NO! NO! Not at all! Every ones blog is first...there own. You can blog about as much or little as you like and I enjoy seeing the diversity.

Now, here's where Tierra puts a firm foot down about this blog of mine and I Do this in a VERY non mean way. I DO NOT want to offend anyone in the least but...It has come to my attention that I have some lurkers who have linked my blog to their blog without my permission .

In other words **send me an email and kindly please introduce yourself and ask**

Really, I don't mind! REALLY.

But, please... this is my personal blog, I have pictures here of my nephew/family and it really creeps me out that you have me listed on your sidebar and you haven't asked.

A silent email will do just fine.

This is NOT for followers. THIS is NOT for blog fame.

This is simply me asking you to let me know.

Going Private is not the plan, But if I have too...I will.

Phew! Glad that's said. Hopefully I will celebrate hitting the 200th soon. Even though this is tech. 200th LOL

Happy 200th to me, right?

Whoo-hoo! To celebrate, I'll go eat a brownie and watch something really sappy.

Why don't you do the same? I mean come one, it's the 200th!

Chow.

Summer Favorites: Edition 1

I LOVE that its Summer! I LOVE THAT ITS SUMMER! Every fantastic minute of it, I'm lovin it! Whether I have something planned or just hanging at the house, I'm lovin it! Cookouts, poolside days or hotubbing at night I'm IN! This winter was a VERY cold one here in Tennessee. One of our MOST coldest winters and LONG at that. And now that the calendar says its June, I'm happy every morning I wake up. Now, may I present to you all my first for this summer of Tierra's Faves. The Loveys. The Must. Who knows, maybe you'll add it to your summer list too! Enjoy!

Washcloths. A summer must? YES. When they come in this array of bright colors, Yes.Every morning a cheery question, Humm what color to use to wash my face today?

I am ADDICTED to People Magazine. I'm even MORE addicted to the Style watch edition. I just HAVE to know about all the latest fashions and trends. If you go to the "tolie" in my house, Dont worry...You'll have every Style watch magazine for this year to keep you entertained:)

Oldnavy had a $15 dollar sale on all dresses last week. I have the black one in white also. And the brown one, looks REALLY close to the "thee" dress I'm wearing to Carries wedding!

I am VERY much in love with these swim suites this summer. Target for $19.99 only!

And finally, my summer TV MUST watch, So You Think You Can Dance. OH. MY. HOLY. GOODNESS. I LOVE this season. I watch anything with dancing in it and this is my fave. Right now, theres so many couples I love I just cant narrow it down yet. You should see me in my LR! The volume is up and I'm ALL in to it. Again, dont call me on Wed. Thurs. nights! I wont answer. No lie.

PS. A certain someone has her 200th post coming up next! I got somethin planned. Nothin big...But, theres somethin. Lata!

A "Princess" Sunday

Today, was a better day. In fact, I cant tell you how sweet of a day it was.

Two weeks ago a Lady from my church asked me to take over her "little Princess" class--as she calls them--for two Sundays.

Today, was my last day and it was just SO sweet to be with these VERY--and I mean VERY--prissy little girls in church primary today.

I got to skip my YSA adult Sunday school class and here them sing and tell me all about their dresses and who was their best friends and just be within a precious child's mind for two hours today.

Heaven.

And SO much fun.

When we got to class for the lesson, they all asked me if they could take off their shoes! I thought, sure. Why not?

They all giggled and twirled and came right to order when I told them that it was time to be reverent and start with a prayer.

These little ladies are smart, let me tell ya!

I taught the lesson on the Holy Ghost and listening for him to help us with right & wrong so that we could enter into the temple someday. You know what they said about that?

They all giggled and said " SO WE CAN GET MARRIED!" I laughed so SO hard...Girlie's through and through.

Through the lesson I had to read the story about Abinadi and the wicked King Noah.

In which they all asked me if this story had a happy ending.

"Well.." I said "It does because we learn of how much faith Abinadi had and how the Holy ghost helped Alma learn the truth."

They payed attention. Answered questions and We ended by singing "I love to see the Temple" --my personal fave-- and prayer, needing no help from me!

We then had picture time! I just couldnt resist bringing my camera for this cute event today and next week I'm bringing them each their own copy.

Oh to be a child again with that childlike faith. Makes us learn more as an adult to see just how simple it is to recognizes the Lords spirit.

Hurt Feelings

Today, I needed my mom.

Ladies...it was a rough day. I SOoOo said that today would be a solid post with a story but today's "to do" list was a long one and then my next door neighbor who is 88 yrs. old and has known me my entire life-- decided today to drop the biggest cruel comment I've ever had in my entire life. TODAY! I wont go into the details but I'll just say this...my weight. That's what is was about. Now ladies, I am no skinny mini. I'm not even a skinny mini who says she's fat when shes really not. I am a good 40 + extra pounds over weight then what I need on this 5'2 body frame.

BUT, here within these last few years I have come into my own and I'm happy with the skin I'm in. Could I, should I, lose 25 pounds and be better off? SURE. But, I'm not going to beat myself while in the process.

But, I'm human and feelings can be hurt so badly when you cant say something nice. I realize that my neighbor is 88 yrs. old and she has no problem speaking her mind but telling someone point blank that she probably doesn't even fit into her own clothes can really hurt a girls self esteem {that wasn't all she said but its just too cruel to share} Especially when that "she" is on her period. It was already a rough day and that just made it worse.

I'm going to bed. So, the planned post is off.

PS. Ann---I know who the band KILLERS are! ! ! I LOVVVVEEE them! ! ! I've heard all those songs you mentioned on the radio before and have blared it but I guess just never caught the band name. My all time Fave is playing on my playlist! Now, I'm REALLYY jealous over your concert LOL

Carnival Weekend

"There's a CARNIVAL TIERRA! ! !" said to me by a VERY enthusiastic 6 yrs.old.
In which a smarty pants Aunt Tierra replied "Really? NO WAY MAN! Are you SURE?"
Followed by a very loud Angelus "YESSSS! ! ! It's HUGE! ! !"

I realized that I very rarely blog about my nephew. Shame on me. But, this little guy stole my heart from day one,

4 hours in the beginning.

{giggling} I see him everyday.
*Cough-cough* he's a stud. Srsly.

So, Saturday night we made the BIG move and went. A GREAT kickoff for the summer. Now, carnival people give me the freaks and the trailer- yucky- looking people that come out of the woodwork BUT we all had a wonderful time. Looking at all those big-high- rides I used to ride back in the teen years made my stomach sick! So, I just watched Angelus have fun and take pics!
In which he would promptly tell me "STOP takin pictures, I'm trying to be BRAVE! ! !"

if he went on a high high ride by himself. LOL.

We had cotton candy, candy apples, and used lots of hand sanitizer :) Enjoy the pics. Chow

PS. Angelus won a Stuffed animal Cow playing the fish pool game. After which he promptly came up to me and said "Here Tierra. I won this just for you." Bless his heart. I LOVE this kid!

PSS. I know every one has already said something on there blog about this,
So here goes mine.
NEW MOON BABY. NEW MOON! ! ! MTV awards...SCREAMED all night like a freakin 16 yr. old. The movie trailer.... DONT EVEN get me started! I've watched it like a BILLION times.
