Geez....where do i begin with this.
Mike and I had art together his freshman yr....i was a sophmore...very quiet....very very quiet girl...i just got my work done stuck to myself, didnt say much....didnt bother anyone....so heres this loud, immature boy, just trying to make people laugh...he didnt know me, i didnt know him, at all! He would get my attention by saying "hey you, girl in the "insert shirt color" shirt" never asked my name, but annoyed the SHIT out of me. He was cute though, really cute.
So i remember telling Rochelle that i thought he was cute and wanted to "go out" with him and she told him, and he said yea...but it was the end of the day an we didnt have each others number...so when we started dated we knew NOTHING about each other....11/15/1999 was when it allllll started.
We spend all of highschool together....brokeup off and on, but kept coming back to each other....he made me laugh...and the feeling i got when he was around, couldnt be matched...and i thought it couldnt get any better than that....
Well, weve been married since 2/14/04 and it keeps getting better....weve had our moments when we wanted to just quit...sometimes we did....but we always find each other and we never forget what got us here in the first place...and now we have 2 beautiful little girls and i couldnt ask for anything better.
He has become such an incredible person, father, and husband. He still has the goofy-ness that kept me annoyed in highschool ;) but he really does keep me grounded....i get overwhlemed....stressed...and annoyed, he just pulls me in and whispers "hey, chill the fuck out...u stressing isnt gonna change anything about it"....lol...we tend to take advantage of each other bc weve grown up together (from 15-26) and sometimes the path we took to get here becomes cloudy....but i wouldnt change our path for anything in the world, bc it has made us stronger people
i remember when i was 15, i would write on EVERYTHING....tiff loves mike...and Mrs. Tiffany Harrell.....everyone thought i was crazy....well im really Mrs. Tiffany Harrell now :)
love that kid :)

So, i should probably be doing something besides this....like getting everything ready for the kids party...but again, minds going a mile a minute and im scatter-brained...
My Makayla...my sweet innocent Makayla is 4yrs. old. Me and this pretty lady will always have a very special bond...although she didnt know it, she helped me so much before she was born. I was 4months pregnant when Mike left for his second deployment....i was scared, sad, and nervous about the pregnancy and upcoming birth (considering i didnt even like kids...lol)....my pregnancy was super easy...other than the fact i gained 60lbs bc i constantly ate.....when i had her, it was such a bittersweet moment, finally met the baby that had been kicking me, ,keeping me up with heartburn, and making me a bag of chocolate in one sitting ;)....but Mike wasnt there...he had no idea i just had our first child....the hardest thing was not having him there...and i had to leave her at the hospital for a few days too bc her blood work was abnormal and she had jaundice (i remember walking in the nicu and she had an iv in her head and thats the first time i cried...the stress of the whole thing had finally gotten to me, not only was my husband deployed but my baby was sick and i felt so helpless!).....she came home, i think 1 wk later, and thats truely where our journey began.....I learned alot from that little girl....love, patience, etc. im not saying that it was easy and i didnt get frustrated....but she was such a blessing to us! We lived in NC for awhile when she was a baby, and i remember when she first started to crawl we would sit on the living room floor and listen to Corrine Bailey Rae, i would sing to her and she would just laugh and laugh...she was always such a happy, laid back girl! Now music and dancing are her favorite things to do And i look at her now, with her "rapunzel hair" and her baby blue eyes....her sweet disposition and caring soul....shes grown so fast! I'm so glad we were surprised by her....she has honestly changed my life!
My Kenzies gonna be 3 dec. 27th, aww Kenza Benza....is u know me, you know about my Kenza Benza.....they say no two kids are alike, and boy were "they" right! I had to be given meds to start my labor for this little miss....and from that moment, i should have known it was Mckenzie's world and we were just living in it :) My Kenz is so independent and doesnt need anyone....i was ready to get her off bottles, i just threw them out, she didnt care, she obviously didnt want those bottles either....i stressed about her going to the potty, she did it when she was ready, completely potty trained in one day! She goes off and plays, and does thing on her own, she doesnt need anyone to keep her entertained! And entertaining is exactly what she is.....test the limits, knows no boundaries.....as goofy as they come! Her high pitched laughter will get you out of a funk! Her bedtime ""I love you mom, goodnight mommy"s just melt my heart.....and the "I LUB EWE"s......
For someone who didnt even think she wanted kids, i am so blessed to have these two angels in my life....i dont know where i would be without them....i couldnt find my place, until i became a mommy :)

Lots and lots on my mind....
Birthday party, Christmas, playoff tickets.....oh my. Like my mind is just constantly running right now...
#1 why in hell is so hard to find a Barbie dollhouse? if the demand was there wouldnt u think mattel would have tons more...to make more money....it makes sense to me....EVERY place u look is out of stock....dumb move mattel, u could have racked up!
#2...why is it that my kids NEED everything....even a laptop designed to keep 12mth. olds occupied....i mean really...if i were to walk into your room right now i wouldnt even be able to see the floor bc of the toys...but u NEED more and u cant live without it?
#3....why do i keep buying them these toys.....my house is big, but i dont want toys in any room, other than their bedrooms...maybe we can build bunk beds, like in that will farrell movie, with hammers and shit...and then make the other room a playroom, but it would look like a hoarders living room.
#4..why do pj's for little girls have to be so damn cute....6 new pairs for xmas isnt enough Tiff? do u really have to argue with yourself in a store bc u cant stay away from them?!
Just random things going through my mind like that, and with the Saints and the NFC and the thought of us having a 3 loss yr and not making the playoffs is just stupid to me. You have teams in the AFC FIGHTING to stay above .500 and we are fight for a WILDCARD spot at 10-3.....nonsense. Anothe note, i dont see our beloved Pierre back....Chris Ivory has pretty much opened they door for him leaving now...like it or not our RB's are a product of the system....we have Drew Brees, Reggie Bush, Marques Colston, etc....plug in "player to be named" into that offense, with that o-line and he'll be good....i'de put money on that.
And what about Jimmy-freakin-Graham (yes thats his full name)....i thought he would be a good pick-up 2-3 yrs down the road, especially after watching him struggle in training camp....but dude can play! And its scary to think that he only played 1yr of college football at Miami....and even on special teams....
oh and speaking of special teams....if u know me, u know im not hartleys #1 fa life....but thank god he looks to have his head back in the game, u want to have confidence in your kicker and trust he can get the job down, consistently.....Thomas Morestead....kid is sooooo MONEY....i have never been so excited about a freakin punter as i am for this kid. He's having a pro-bowl yr and we all know that the nfl is a game of field position and u can always count on Morestead!
I love the boys in black and gold....but those dirty birds scare me...that team reminds me alot of us last yr....they get the bounces, they dont quick...and they have matty ice....and believe me i HATE the falcons....but i think they are definetly the team to beat this yr....
ok thats enough random thoughts for now :)
