Homecoming Parade!

Poco and Quincy!

This year I put my kids in the SCHS Homecoming Parade 2011! Quincy wanted to ride Poco so Uncle Derek got Poco to town, they washed him, brushed his tail and mane, and painted him! Quincy was so excited to be able to ride Poco for awhile and he ended up winning 1st Place in the Animal category.


SCHS Tutu!

BFF's Jazmyne and Bretlynn!
These 2 CUTE girls were the Future Homecoming Queens of 2028! They were so adorable in the wagon, getting all sticky with their suckers and in the matching outfits! They got 3rd Place in the People Category!

Jaymi and I have already started thinking about next years parade! So proud of our babies and truly BLESSED!

God Gave Me You

2010 started out pretty rough for me as I made the biggest decision in my life. I finally choose to listen to my head and walked away from a relatioship that was breaking my heart.I had been with my first real love for 3 years and we were about to have our second child. Our relationship started out with tough times as we got pregnant with Quincy only 7 months after we met, we hardly knew each other, neither of us had finished school and we weren't MARRIED. After that we had our ups and downs, lived apart for the whole pregnancy except the last month when he finally moved back here to be with us. Things just never got good but I tried cause as a little girl growing up I always dreamed of that FAMILY, marriage & kids. Lets fast forward almost 2 years when I found out I was pregnant with Jazmyne I cried and cried. I was not ready to add another child to the situation cause I wasn't sure where we were going in our relationship.
The day I choose to be happy and give my kids the best life I could was so hard and I spent it crying and Praying to God that I was doing the right thing. I left my relationship and father of my kids when I was 2 months pregnant with Jazmyne. It was the hardest day of my life and still is at times. I gave him my whole heart and it hurts that it wasn't enough but Im stronger today for doing what I did. The process was hard, sad, painful and good at the same time! The kids and I have been happy and enjoying life to the fullest. We had some hard adjustments that followed my decision but with the support and Prayers from all our loved ones we have made it through together!! God blessed me with my 2 beautiful kids Quincy & Jazmyne and everything I do in life no matter how easy or hard it is I do it for THEM! The song that follows is just one of many that has been a source of strength for my heart to keep moving on.

God Gave Me You:
I’ve been a walking heartache
I’ve made a mess of me
The person that I’ve been lately
Ain’t who I wanna be

But you stay here right beside me
And watch as the storm blows through
And I need you

Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you
Gave me you

There’s more here than what we’re seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely
Could somehow fall for me
You’ll always be love’s great martyr
And I’ll be the flattered fool
And I need you

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you

On my own I’m only
Half of what I could be
I can’t do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I pray we never undo

Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you, gave me you.
He gave me you.
