More flowers and bamboo!!

So I finally decided I wanted to grow some bamboo! We were at Lowe's and I spotted some Lucky Bamboo and I was ''Mom I need this!''. So I got some and hopefully it starts to grow well! It's also very good for rooms in the house. Bamboo generates oxygen, adds humidity to room air during dry conditions, creates heathier living enviroment and purifies the air of pollutants. So it's not just a random plant, it's a random healthy plant! Usually people grow bamboo in a greenroom or a covered patio but I'm growing it in my room! So later I will take pictures of all the new flowers and bamboo we bought! So be looking for another post soon!

Spring Time...Almost...

So I'm assuming it's almost spring time in Texas becuase the weather is starting to change. The wild flowers are starting to bloom and all the pretty birds are starting to come out! So this past saturday me and my mom and sister went to a flower shop and bought some pretty flowers and I went home and planted them all! So here are the pictures I took of them after I planted them. I also planted some sunflower seeds...SO hopefully in about 3 weeks there will be a start of sunflowers!!!
These are the orange and pink Snap Dragons or Antirrhinum's

These are purple and white Alyssum's

These are Sugar Madness Petunias (my favorite ones)

A welcome mat that my mum bought

In loving memory of my dearest Aunt Becky.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. Apart of us went with you, the day God took you home. If tears could build a stairway. and heartaches make a lane, we'd walk our way to heaven, and bring you back again. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place, No one could ever fill. I found this poem and the words stuck out to me like a neon light. February 11, 2016 my dearest Aunt Becky passed out of this life and made her way up heavens stairs. She battled breast and bone cancer for 10 long years, she was strong in her weakest moments and held on with all she could. I wanted to be there with her when she passed but I knew that emotionally I could not handle it. My parents along with my sister Courtney traveled down to be with her until her final moment. Yesterday when I got the call that she went on to see Jesus, my heart split into two. I cried for awhile until I got enough strength to get back to helping the youth group and some very special people from our church make truffles for our youth trip. The whole day I felt a deep sadness but as I talked with some church family and one of my friends I realized that everything was going to be okay. I'm so thankful that they were there for me. I realized she's in a much better place. How lucky she is to be with Jesus! There's always a reason for everything and I believe that this sad heartache and passing of Aunt Becky is going to bring my family closer than we've ever been. I believe that God has a plan for my family. We may not know yet but I believe one day we will look back on this moment and say ''Thank you God for showing us that even in our weakest moments, you give us the strength we need to carry on.'' Even though you can't hear me Aunt Becky. I love you and miss you soooooo very much. Save me a seat in heaven because that's where I'm going!
