You. Are. Enough

It's 11pm, the hubbs is outta town, kids are asleep, and I finally get to soak in a bubble bath and read/watch all the links I've saved during the week that interest me. This one couldn't have come at a better time... It's just a reminder, that I feel we ALL need every once and a while. 
Don't be too hard on yourself momma! It's just a season. 
You. Are. Enough.

Bachlorette Break Down

     OK, sooooo I have been wanting to do this for a while because I feel like I have such strong opinions on this season and I want to hear yours...

     First off, how GORG is JoJo?! I just love her! She seems so down to earth and has the cutest little body and style! I love how all the girls from the previous Bachelor (Ben's Season) are all friends now! I think that's so cool! How do I know this? I legit stalk them all on Insta, duh!

     Back to this breakdown: I'm a week or two late so we will just start from this last episode that aired on Memorial Day.
 
ALEX (Marine Vet)

 Prob my favorite so far... ok yes, he's short, but to be fair that chair he jumped on was like way oversized! He seems real and has THE cutest smile! I definitely like how respectful and protective he is, but at the same time, is the fact that Chad is just getting to him sooooo much a turnoff? I have a feeling he will go far!

ALI (Bartender)

Ohhh Ali.... Sweet guy just not my style. Has cute dimples, but has been kinda quiet. Don't think he will be around much longer.

CHAD (Luxury Real Estate)

I mean, c'mon with this dude.... GROSS right! He is such a turnoff and whyyyy all the meat!? Seriously! Surely JoJo has already "red flagged" this meathead. He reminds me of Olivia from last season! There is a reason none of the other guys like him. He's a self centered, arrogant douche. What a waste of muscles... oh, and no telling the drama he will bring in the next couple of episodes! He is a ticking time bomb FOR SURE!

CHASE (Medical Sales Rep)

Ok.. I'm confused... Was he the SANTA? Regardless, I like him. I sometimes get him and Jordan confused. He is a sweetheart and seems like a laid back, go with the flow kinda guy!

CHRISTIAN (Telecom Consultant)

Ehhh.. Nice guy. Needing a little more from him.

Derek (Commercial Banker)

Seems sweet. Felt like he was a little awk on the one on one. I just cant stop looking at his teeth. They are either too big for his face or just SO white! I can't help but think he looks JUST LIKE John Krasinski from "The Office"... Right?!?!

DANIEL (Male Model)

I  was OVER him after the first episode. Not real sure why he's still here and I think it's super weird that he is trying to be "buddy buddy" with Chad! Like, what could they possibly have in common!? To be honest, he kinda creeps me out.

EVAN (Erectile Dysfunction Expert)

No, but really.... Why is he still here?

GRANT (Firefighter)

Hello muscles and chiseled jaw line! Would have been weird if he DIDN'T win the mission! JoJo seems to feel comfortable around him. He seems like he gives good hugs! Needing a little more from him but I'll give him a thumbs up!

JAMES (Boxing Club Owner)

Ehhh... Not feelin' him AT all.

JAMES (Singer-Songwriter)

James, James, James.. Leave it up to our hometown boy to have the most respect for JoJo. James seems like someone you can def take home to momma! Who doesn't love him. Seems like the real deal and he actually CAN sing! That note he wrote to her was THE sweetest! I'm lovin' me some James!

Jordan (Former Pro QB)

I mean... He's easy on the eyes, that's for sure. I like him. I know JoJo does.. it's quite obvious! I may or may not have looked up his ex GF and tried to investigate the things she was saying about him being a cheater and always wanting to be famous! I get it. I think we will just have to let him prove himself to us! ... that smile tho... (insert heart eyes)

LUKE (War Vet)

I dunno about him yall.... I don't know if his skinny pants are too tight, the side smile, leather jacket.. or what it is. He seems nice, but I feel like he is being overshadowed by Jordan and Chase! Needing more from him as well.

NICK (Electrical Engineer)

Nope.

ROBBY (Competitive Swimmer)

Kinda quiet, right?! Gimme more Robby!
 
VINNY (Barber)

Nope. Not feelin him.

WELLS (Radio DJ)

Cheeseball... but Bless His Heart.



I'm ready for more! I feel like JoJo is my friend since I've been watching her from the start and I'm anxious to see how she deals with this upcoming drama and who shows their true colors! Don't forget this coming week we get EXTRA Bachy time with a 2 day Special.. So Monday AND Tuesday Night will be full of roses!

Tell me your thoughts and be ready for next weeks breakdown.. Also coming soon... my "Mission Hott Mom Bod" is about to be in full effect so let me know what healthy supplements or healthy diets work for you guys!

THIRTY...

     On this 30th day of May.... I close the chapter of my 20's and am excited to see what THIRTY is all about! (I hear it's the NEW 20, so....) Yall, my life is amazing! A hardworking husband, 2 absolutely adorable, healthy kids, an awesome family, gorgeous friends a roof over my head and a beating heart. What more could a girl ask for?!

     I know it's been a while since I've been on here to update things and like I've said before THIS is my therapy so bear with me as I unload these thoughts!

     Back to this whole THIRTY thing...
I would like to remind myself of how fulfilling my 20's were:

- Cheered for the NFL Houston Texans the San Francisco 49ers
- Married TYLER HOLMES! (Insert Heart Eyes)
- Bought and remodeled a house in FRIENDSWOOD (still an ongoing project)
- Had 2 babies with him! (back to back)
- Celebrated 6 years working for Dr. Ciaravino (www.thebodydoc.com)
- Experienced the loss of my Peepaw Reyes
- Learned how to do taxes (sorta)
- Found my way into the family business (REFLEX Gymnastics)
- Learned to juggle life, the ups and downs and all arounds!

 Couple things I would like to experience in my 30's:

- 2 potty trained kids who know JESUS! (Amen, to that, huh!)
- Meeting Joanna Gains (Fixer Upper)
- Bieber Concert (Don't Judge MEEEEE!)
- A comfy savings account
- Continuing to enrich women's lives thru my job
- Watching my husband coach our daughter Gymnastics
- Not having a mortgage
- A vacation.. or two.. or five!
- Continuing my love for photography and shooting more families
- And taking it all one day at a time.....

     As I round this corner to the next road ahead I want to THANK YOU all for making such an impact on my life. I secretly get SO excited on my birthday cause I know my FB is gonna blow up with posts and it truly fills my heart that so many people care to take the time, even if it's just seconds, out of their day to make sure I know they are thinking about me. As a new mom, you don't even think twice about yourself anymore. It's all about the kids and will be for the next 18 years or so. So Thank You all for the messages, texts and calls today as it is SO VERY APPRECIATED!

      Thank you for having an interest in my life and being my motivation to keep this blog going! I have tons of new stuff coming soon so follow along and let's enjoy this ride together!
