So, I have a confession... this is going to sound vain but bear with me here. I am very confident. This is not my opinion it is just the truth. You can only imagine how much confidence it takes to wear my hair like I do everyday in my profession... But there is one place where I lack confidence and that is my thighs. I havent worn under a size 12 in about 5 years and I have a gap in my teeth which I wear with pride but when it comes to my thighs I melt at the idea of them hanging out.
So, I was at this fabulous thrift store in Danville, VA a few weeks ago when I was visiting my in-laws and I spotted these shots... I would normally chuckle and walk right past them but on this warm and sunny day all I could think about was how fabulous it would be to have on a pair of shorts... so I picked them up. With the dollar price tag calling my thrifty minded name I purchased them secretly thinking that I will NEVER put them on.
Well, here I am... Standing before you facing my fear... letting my Rolls of Thunder ring out for all to see.
This summer I have made a promise that I am going to try to embrace my think thighs or change them... yeah, there's a novel idea. If you don't like something on your body you can easily change it with a few weeks of work and some dedication.
Look out world... Here me and my thighs

So, we really want to thank all of you for your emails of concern. We (Keesha and Deon) are doing okay. Like Keesha said, we are finally getting things back to normal. I have to tell you that nothing that you saw on CNN gave this situation any justice but slowly and with much prayer things will get back to normal. Please promise us that you will live life to the fullest... you never know when a some form of "twisted fate" will change your life.
Outfit:Thrifted :)
I dont have much to say today. The weather is still beautiful here and I cant seem to stop wearing this dress. Ive worn it twice since friday and will probably wear it again soon. Sorry about the wrinkles and the swollen feet...This is what happens when I take my pics in the evening :)
No, we havent turned our backs on you all. Sorry we have been so sporadic with our posts. Between being a mommy, wife and all that comes with that plus its my BIRTHDAY MONTH(me) and Deon being wife,mother(to Blanket), worker bee and school we have been the worst! Please accept our apology and we promise to do better :)
Its 68 degrees today!!!
