#i always follow back
Hey guys! Yes I FINALLY got a job - can’t remember if I already made a post about this or not, so if I have bare with me - it’s not a big job or anything but, nonetheless, it’s still a job and I’m proud of myself. I love it so far! I work at a small, town gas station full time. I love my job so far and, even though I’m going through a pretty rough time in my life, this is one thing that makes me happy
Depending on how my work schedule goes for next week, im planning on making a trip to Virginia to see some old family friends. I’m hoping to go by myself on this trip because I really think it will help me, especially with me going through all of the things I’m going through right now. I’ve never been anywhere big - especially out of state - by myself, so this should be fun lol
Christmas is just around the corner and I plan on spoiling Whit this Christmas! I’m not sure what all I want to get him, but I know majority of what I want to get him….if that makes any sense lol. He’s spoiled me every Christmas we’ve been together and I have yet to do the same for him. Now that I have a job he won’t know what to expect. Hes been so good to me and I wish I could say the same. He deserves better - way, way better - but I’m happy he chooses to stay with me.

Obviously, by the title, we will be in Florida for Thanksgiving this year. I’m excited about it because I’m planning on moving back down there soon and I’ve always been told home is where the heart is and my heart’s in Florida❤ It’ll be Whit, me, Whit’s friend Matt, and Sasha going on this trip. We will only be gone a few days but we think it’ll be good for Sasha to go down and visit her old favorite places. I don’t know how this trip is going to go, but I’m hoping it’ll be a good one. I’m also hoping and praying to hear some good news about me coming back sooner than what the plan is for right now. We will see how everything plays out!
Here’s just a few pics! I know some of you figured it was going to happen but I - hopefully - will be moving back to Florida in the next couple of weeks but Whit won’t be coming with me….
Now before I get into detail about moving back to Florida, I want to clear some things up - this is mainly meant towards family and friends that only want to believe their own thing:
1.) I’ve always been told and have heard that home is where your heart is. The best way I can explain this, is that when I moved to Florida the first time, I put my heart in a box, locked it up and put it away. When I came back to Bama I only brought the key and left the box now im trying to make it back to the box..
2.) Too much is going on up here for to be able to handle, and I don’t want any part of what’s going on. My dad’s side of the family found that it was better if we loved each other from a distance and only visited each other so many times out of the year. I feel the same way about this situation.
3.) It’d healthier for me to be some where else. I’m not okay and I haven’t been okay for years. Drugs not only mess up the person that’s taking them, they mess up everyone in that person’s life. Just like no one understands what being an addict is like unless you’re an addict, you won’t understand what its like not doing drugs and witnessing and going through the effects of drugs…so much damage…everyone has their own way of healing and coping, right?
I’m not moving just because I want to. Don’t get me wrong I do want to, but I’m not just doing it to do it out of the blue. I found something better than Walker County, Alabama in my opinion. I found where I belong. Home is home of course, but my heart is in Florida and I will get there….one way or the other.

Hello my lovelies! I hope everyone has had a great week so far! So far I’ve had a pretty… interesting week. I’m just going to be honest - I HATE being back in Bama, I really do. I would give anything to be back in Florida but I know I need to be here….it’s just one of those situations. I’m not posting this to make anybody feel putty for me. God no, that’s the last thing I want. I’m posting this to vent.. if I was to post this or say this anywhere else everybody would think I’m just putting on a potty party. Obviously, that’s not the case here.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my home town, where I’ve grown up, the friends I’ve made here and everything. I even love my family….but I just think things would be a whole lot better if I could love them from a distance. So much has happened and there’s just somethings that I think have caused a little too much damage…people receive and cope with things differently than everyone else around them. No one person is exactly alike. This is just how I feel. I would love to leave the past in the past and move forward somewhere else in a new beginning.
Posted the pics because it’s time for new ones to show up!!!

Just a couple recent pics I took for fun
Anyways - yesterday was mine and Whit’s 3 year anniversary!! Yes we went through a rough spot but we were able to work through it and become even closer than we were before. I’m happy to be with Whit and im so lucky and thankful that i have him in my life. He’s my best friend and I don’t know what I’d do without him Whit Davis you have no idea how special and precious you are to me

Hey guys! Just thought I would let you all know about how our night went last night Whit and I went to Oakland homecoming game last night and - of course - we won! I believe the score was like 60-8✊ #wildcatsyouknow I know alot of people are probably thinking “that’s not a fair game” but you would’ve had to have been there to understand why they let us get that far ahead without a mercy call
Anyways - after the game we went over to a friend’s house and - I wouldn’t really say we partied because it was just close fruends - but we drank some beers, played a little pong, and listened to some music I had a great time, and even though Whit was tired, he had a good time too
***If there’s anything at all you guys would luke for me to post about please PM me and I will post whatever you guys want - as long as it’s something appropriate***

Hey guys! I know I don’t post as much as I used to, but there really isn’t much for me to post about. Whit and i finally settled our differences and decided to work things out. I’m glad we did because we were inseparable! I mean, how can you not be with someone when you’ve been spending almost every day of your life for 3 years with that particular person? Other than that, Whit got laid off. I know I post a lot of private stuff on here but this blog is suppose to be about mine and Whit’s life, interesting things that goes on in our life, our struggles, goals and accomplishments, and how we got through them. I’m really thinking we should move back to Florida or move somewhere, somehow, so we both can get jobs and not get laid off….it’s really hard where we live at now to get a job because it’s a small town and majority of the stores and restaurants are family owned businesses. I’m just really hoping we get jobs soon, because im so tired of feeling the way I do because I don’t have a job. I feel like a disappointment, like a bum. And my family thinks I’m not trying to get a job when in actuality Im busting my ass off.
Here’s my plans for tomorrow:
1.) Go to town in the morning and grab applications for jobs. Fill them out and bring them back.
2.) Get laptop. Go to wifi and apply everywhere in the galleria in Birmingham for jobs.
3.) 11:30 - Oakman homecoming parade starts.
4.) Go to the football game and watch some ass get beat…
I’m trying my best to stay positive about - not only finding a job - but also things going on in my family. Shit is really hitting the fan and it’s been effecting everybody. Like I said, I’m trying to stay positive, but I slowly feel like I’m breaking. Please pray for us!

I obviously still have a lot of work to do on this, but this is what I have so far and I’m pretty proud of myself for this being my first time drawing something like this….i don’t think it’s too bad anyways.

Hey guys! I know you all are probably getting tired of seeing nothing but updates, but all of that is about to change within the next couple of days!
Whit finally got a jobs and I’m really happy for him! The only thing that kind of sucks is that he has to drive all the way to Birmingham 5 days out the week. He loves it, though, so as long as he’s happy, so am I. I am still on the hunt for a job. So far I have applied at nearly every store that has the kind of pay rate that I’m searching for. All I have to do this week is go talk to the managers and finally get a job!
The reason why I said all of these posts are about to change, is that in the next couple of days I will FINALLY have a phone! I can’t wait! It’s been too long since I’ve posted any photos to let you guys get a feel of what I’m dealing with at home!
Anyways, I know some of y'all are ready for a change in how my blog is going right now, and so am I! I have a lot of things that I want to post on here and I’m ready to get started with it all. Just a couple of more days!!!
Hello everyone! I can only post when I have WiFi and I still, unfortunately, do not have a phone, so things are pretty tough right now. The only thing keeping me from getting a new phone with a new number, is that I won’t have all my pictures or anything important like my other phone has. Maybe my mind will change and I’ll give in and get a phone sometime though…who knows?
Anyways - back to the update, it’s been a long week! I hope everyone has been enjoying watching the Olympics , if you don’t watch them, that’s okay too. I personally think that USA has done really well in the Olympics so far! Hopefully, we can keep up the good work! I plan on doing the videos and DIYs when I finally get a job and have the money to get anew phone, I promise I am going to do them it’s just going to take some time.Expecially with the house and all that’s going on.
**If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Also, please keep Whit and I in your prayers as we continue to go through this new journey of our lives.**
Hey guys! Whit and I leave for Bama, for good, tomorrow. I was hoping we would be able to stay here for good, but we were given a opprotunity that most people never get and we took it. We are home owners now and we have to figure out how to live our lives now, and together, we can do it!
Quick Q&A:
1.) Am I sad about going home? - Yes and no. I am sad to be leaving Florida and that I wasn’t able to stay, I mean, everyone loves the beach right? But, it is time that I go home.
2.) How often will Whit and I return to the beach? - We have to worry about getting everything for our home done like we want it before we can really go into any details about returning to the beach.
3.) Who is the family member I always mention when talking about the trailer, and why do I want nothing to do with person? - The family member that I mention a lot is my brother. I choose not to be around him or associate with him because he is a meth head and he has, not only torn our family a part completely, but he has also ruined a lot of opprotunities and things for me and my family. I really don’t want to say any thing else about him because it makes me so mad, really.
4.) What do I plan on doing when I go home? - First things first, I’m getting a job. I will do everything that I have to do in order to get a job! I also plan on getting things for the trailer, so we can start working on it.
5.) Did I find what I was looking for while being in Florida? - Yes, but there still is a lot more that I need to find by being back home and facing a lot of the challenges and things I was so afraid of. It’s time that I grow up.
So, I know this was a Q&A post, but these questions were things that I frequently get asked and I thought I would post them so you guys could understand a little better. I don’t know what’s in store for me when I get back to Alabama, but I’m going to do everything in my power to stay focused, and keep doing what I’m doing. I really hope I get a call from one of the jobs that I applied at yesturday, sometime soon. I need a job more than anything right now! Hopefully, Whit will start applying for jobs soon because I really don’t want to be a lone in all of this…if that makes any sense.
**Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we try and find jobs and get started on our home! We appreciate all the love and support you guys have gave and shown us! Thank you so much!**
Since it’s raining today, Whit and I really just want to have a chill day today. After we pack our things to leave tomorrow, we’re going to sit back and enjoy some Chick-Fil-A, sip on some Mountain Dew, and watch a movie or 2, and maybe play some games!
We don’t have a Chick-Fil-A in town, but Whit and his mom had to go to a Walmart today and the closest one is about 25 minutes away, so I asked Whit to stop by and get us something. While he’s gone with his mom and Luke and Jayde - the kids we’re helping his mom watch until tomrrow because we leave for Bama - I’m going to clean around the house and start on some laundry.
We have a TON of movies to choose from! I was thinking we could watch Lord of the Rings: The Twin Towers, Wild, Gone with the Wind, OR a movie of Whit’s choice. Normally when we watch movies, one way or another, we end up either on our phones or on our laptops. Hopefully, I can convince Whit to leave everything in his room so we can enjoy this day together.
For games, I was thinking we could play Halo 3 or maybe try out Oblivion! I know, I know, I’m a nerd, what else is new? I love Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls games! Killing Dragons, being a Mage, and being a one man army is always a great stress realeaver!
That’s it for today! I hope you guys enjoyed this post! I’m trying to make more posts like this and hopefully, here soon, I can post some photos so it’s not a boring dull post.
**Please continue to keep Whit and I in your thoughts and prayers! We thank each and every one of you for all of the love and support you guys have shown us!**
I got up early this morning and applied at Dollar General and Home Depot! The only downside is that I put down I could work until August 8th. Reason being is that I will have family visitng from the end of this month all the way till the 7th. I only get to see them and spend time with them once a year so, of course, I want to spend as much time with them as I possibly can.
I’m hoping that Whit starts applying soon because I really don’t want to be the only one bringing in money by myself. We’re a team and I feel like, as a team, we both need to bring in the income and both take equal responsibility for OUR home. I’m serious about this trailer and wanting to do work on it so I’m going to do everything I can but I don’t want to be doing everything by myself.
Hey! So about what I posted about yesturday, you guys will probably see those posts in about a month or so. The reason why, is that when we get back home, I have family visiting the entire first week when we’re back and we will be busting our asses off trying to get jobs.
DIY Posts:
In my earlier post about the DIY’s that I’d be doing, I only put down 3 and they were food DIY’s, but I think I’m just going to do those 3 all in one post. So here is a few more DIY’s that I will be doing when we’re back in Bama and I’m able to do them:
1.) DIY Dry Erase Board - I already have one dry erase board in the kitchen of our trailer, so that will be a Grocery List/Reminder thing. I want a smaller one in the living room so I can decorate it and put cute little sayings and quotes on it so when people walk in our home they get a nice, positive vibe!
2.)DIY Sharpie Storage Jars - I just thought they looked so adorable and I want to make them so be on the look out!
3.) DIY Jar of Roses - It’s exactly what you think it is ^_^
4.) DIY Candles - I have something that I really want to do with these and I feel like it would make our home feel more like a home with something like this.
I know a lot of these things that I’m wanting to do seem really girly and kind of make wonder where “the man” of the house is, but he really don’t mind what I do with our home as long as it’s not overboard girly. I’m really excited to see how this all turns out and I can’t wait for you guys to be apart of this journey as well! Like I said, it might take a month or so before you see of these DIYs/other posts that I’ve mentioned in this post and earlier posts, so bare with me!
**As always Whit and I ask that y'all please keeps us in your thoughts and prayer as we go through this new journey of our lives!**
