The weekend after Valentines Day, my sister, Noah, and I went to North Carolina to see my beautiful cousin compete in her school's Scholarship Pageant. I might be a little biased, but I do believe Kristen was the most beautiful girl in the pageant, and I felt like she did AMAZING, especially for being a newbie to the whole thing. She did win Miss Congeniality out of the whole group of girls, and I could not be more happy for her. I felt like the title of Miss Congeniality is better than anything else. I always knew she was such a sweet, genuine, caring individual and it's amazing to know that everyone else feels the same way. Although the trip to NC was about Kristen, I did enjoy spending time with a lot of my family and I always cherish the moments we get to spend together since I don't see them as often as I would like to and should.

The next weekend after the NC trip, was the Abbeville Woman's Club Mardi Gras Dance. I helped set up things that Saturday morning and my sister and I went to the dance that night. They had a DJ, and finger foods and everything looked awesome! We had a blast!
I also had a Thirty-One Party the following Monday and had so.much.fun! The turnout was ah-mazing and I am still in awe over who all showed up. I do have some of the best friends and co-workers in the world. I often take these things for granted, but I am very blessed. I decided to make a couple of homemade things for the party, so I ended up making Snickers Cupcakes (super yummy) and homemade pizza rolls! I think they both turned out great and I have pinterest to thank for that.

Now to the news about Stella! She has been such a joy to my life and I am falling more in love with her everyday.. I think about her non-stop and I don't know if this is good or not :)
I took her to the vet this past Monday for bloodwork and x-rays. While there, I found out that she has an ear infection. I have a solution for her ears and a gel-like substance to put in her ears.. one goes in 1 time a day, and the other one 2 times. This is torture for both her and me! She does not bite, but she wiggles and squirms and makes it near impossible to get anything in her ears. I am constantly left wondering if I even put the stuff down far enough in her ears. The last thing I want is for her infection to stay around or get worse! Prayers please. On to the bloodwork and x-rays... Everything looked GREAT! Praise the Lord. Her heart and kidneys are in great condition. She has lost some weight, but the vet said that she is not underweight and is in good shape! I am SO happy she is healthy, but this also means that she is ready to have surgery! AND she is having it THIS FRIDAY! She will be getting spayed, her growth removed, and her teeth cleaned all in ONE surgery! I constantly think about it and I am so scared for her. I had a chat with her and told her what was going to happen but she has NO idea. Bless her heart. I am trying to prepare myself for what to expect, but I have never been through this before so I have NO idea what to do! I pray that the surgery is successful and that I have the patience and ability to care for her after and that she has a speedy recovery... As my momma told me over the phone Monday night, you will do whatever you have to do because it's your baby. Regardless of what's to come, I know this is true. Stella is my heart and I will do everything to protect her, keep her safe, and to nurture her back to health as fast as possible!
