LIFE HAPPENS literally...

I have learned over the years that the older you get the MORE you appreciate the TIME you wish you could get back.

It has been awhile since my last post, however as my mom always tells me "Life Happens." Definitely, those words are very true. This past year has been amazing, and I would have to say God is in control. I was tested and tested again by statan. However, I survived with God, love, and family along the side of me.

In 7 days I will walk across the stage and FINALLY graduate from college. As I have been pursuing my "dream job" I have come to realize a few things I love about life.

My new quote I live by is " How can you HATE life when you love life's little moments that take your breath away and think that was GOD working!

I'm not sure if that is a quote or not, but I really like it. This semester has been very challenging in so many ways. I have learned a lot about the future, life, and blessings. God has blessed me beyond my wildest imagination. I could not have finished what I started if it wasn't for God, family, and my husband. I love you guys with all my heart.

I have decided to redo my MEANING of my blog "chanelandchapstix." If anyone who is following me is curious to what my "chanelandchapstix" means just ASK. The breakdown is quite simple if you know me. Chanel is a classy designer, and if you know me I love DESIGNERS and shopping. The meaning behind chapstix is for my husband. He is such a guy's guy! He is manly and loves to do all the manly events(football...Gaming, GUNS, you know MAN stuff most girls don't do) This blog will be mostly about us, me, and anything that comes to mind)!

It will be a hodge podge of my ideas, thoughts, and Ew I like that moments! Come aboard and enjoy the fun of the new adventures of blogging my daily, weekly, monthly, OR quarterly life. Who knows when I will have time! IT will be an online diary of my life and the good, bad, and ugly moments. Tune in next time...
