Updates, Updates, Get Your Updates Here!

Updates: If you read my last post, you know that I haven't posted in a while... to the tune of about 5 years. As you can imagine, there are a lot of updates to give. So, let's jump right into it.












Hair:
I have been natural or, actually, I should say transitioning (you want to be sure to get this right, or run the risk of being met with torches) off and on forever. But, currently, I am sporting a big chop (you'll understand the motivation behind that a little later--It's the top pic) and am fully natural (ahhh, how nice to sport that title--natural--without any backlash!).

 

Marital Status: (See earlier posts: https://camille-thenextchapter.blogspot.com/2012/05/at-last.html and https://camille-thenextchapter.blogspot.com/2012/10/ok-so-here-are-my-hubby-i.html )
My husband, Michael, who you met in my earlier blogs, and I are still married--6 years as of 07/09/18...more to come on this subject in future blogs.








Baby On The Way?:
Well, she's no longer on the way; instead, she is a vibrant, amazing little 3 year old (at least that's what her birth certificate says, but I'm tempted to say that she has the intellect of one way older--I know I'm biased, but we get that comment from others a lot too)! She is amazing, despite some challenges--once I'm brave enough to discuss, I'll share. Although that is part of my drive to pick up the blog again.

Career?: ??? (Left blank intentionally....updates to follow)
I have too much to share in this comeback/introductory blog. But, in due time (hopefully, in the near future), these things will be revealed/shared. I'd love to answer some specific questions that any of you might have, if you are interested (or if anyone's even out there anymore....sure I've lost my modest audience-but, here's hoping!). Also, I plan to post pictures, as soon as I get a chance...hopefully, next post...and, hopefully within the next couple of days. So, be sure to tune! And, if you're new, be sure to check out my other posts to get caught up.

I'm Back?

So, I've been contemplating a return (sounds like some amazing comeback or something, right?). But, maybe, I shouldn't hype it up. Who knows if anyone even notices, misses me, or even cares. Well, we shall see. I have a lot of updates, if anyone's interested.

Baby

Oh Baby!

I'm Back (At Least For Now)!

I have the hardest time keeping up with this blog. The truth is that I hate to write (or type in this case--with my lazy self)...I always have, even though I made good grades in school. I am a secret stalker...but don't worry--not like in any weird kind of way, or anything! I love keeping up with other people and reading their blogs. I just can't find the energy or motivation to post anything myself...it is absolutely daunting for me to put my thoughts in such a limited space. Plus, I have always been really private--only sharing things with an extremely few (around 3), select people. Anywho...it's been a very long time since I last posted. So, where to start with the updates? Well, I am still married & still very much in love.

Marriage has it's challenges, but you know what they say about making it through the first year. And, we are at 16 months & counting! I am still battling with the to parent or not to parent decision. The thought still frightens me & excites my husband. I must admit that whenever I look at the posts from other bloggers with their little ones, I feel guilty for having such strong hesitations and anxiety about having kids. Especially when I hear of others who desire so badly to conceive. It just plain boils down to I don't know if it is for me or God's will, but one day I will know b/c either it will happen despite my reservations, or it won't...I know that others would absolutely & positively LOVE (bold, italicize, and CAPITALIZE that) for that to take place. In the meanwhile, PLEASE, check out this page that I've created to help my mother-in-law, as  she (triumphantly--prayerfully) battles cancer (Click the image):
 

Cancer: Mother-in-Law

Got Love?

Wow, to think that a little more than a year ago, I was setting myself aside so that God could prepare me for the mate, for whom I had been begging. And now, I'm grateful to God for sending him my way. It's amazing that I met my husband almost exactly a month after I posted the below (click on link):

Cafe' Camille: "Next Chapter"? and How We Met

I love my husband...he's wonderful...all that & a bag of chips, you might say. His smile & laughter are infectious. Of utmost importance & number one on my list of requests...he's a godly man, who is passionate and compassionate. Did I already say that I'm in love? Well, I am! Today's Valentine & my hubby & I are temporarily separated (only physically....did you think that I meant like in divorce or something?...Are you crazy?! I don't even want to entertain that thought). I miss him so & cannot wait to take him into all of my senses again, once we are reunited! Also, my hubby's bday is the day immediately following the big V-Day, so we'll get to do a double celebration when he returns... how fitting would it be that a man, who is the love of my life (& directly & specifically crafted for me by God) would have a birthday so close in time to the day of love! I love you, Babe! Here's thinking & reminiscing on ya! Please don't kill me for the pic, but I like this one of you.
