Hindsight Is 20/40 - Being Mary Jane

BET aired the latest episode of its new hit series Being Mary Jane tonight and I must say I was glued to my tv. The hashtag in the corner of the screen was #Unraveling and it was a theme for the entire episode.  It really fit. A lot of things happened this episode: Mary Jane broke up with Andre and he moved out, Paul Jr got in some legal troubles, Patrick refused to take a weekly drug test and decided to instead move out,  Niecy wants her tubes tied and Helen decided she getting her man back!

As much as I hate to admit it, I'm glad MJ nixed things with Andre. I do believe they love each other, but is their love enough? Does Andre actually love Mary Jane more than his wife, Avery? Is Andre actually going to leave his family in order to be with Mary Jane? As a viewer, I don't know. Mary Jane doesn't even know, and I think that's where the ultimate problem lies. Andre told her he was married and she continued her romance so that wasn't the issue. It was the unanswered questions that plague her mind. Those questions were all answered for me when Andre went to his wife's house to tell his kids about the divorce and left without even letting them know he was there. I was rooting for Andre. He is just so fine!

Paul Jr and Niecy are too grown spoiled brats! While Paul Jr's intentions may be good for selling weed, he acted so rudely to Andre and Mary Jane after they helped him get out of his legal troubles. I agree with MJ when she said that Niecy makes bad decisions. She does! She's having children and depending on her family members to take care of them. Then she gets snarky and disrespectful to Mary Jane, who in my opinion is her real Baby Daddy. Paul Jr and Niecy need to realize that Mary Jane is only trying to help, though her attitude may not be the best.

I hope Patrick isn't about to move out and relapse. I feel like that's going to be his storyline for next season. Also, Kara needs to realize that by letting them go live with their dad, she is actually being a great mother because she realizes what they need.

Well that about sums up my thought on the episode. Next week's 2 hour finale is going to be so good!!

What did you guys think of this week's episode? Are you happy with MJ and Andre's break up? Do you think Patrick is going to relapse if he moves out?

#SheReadsTruth

My typical morning consists of waking up, putting on a pot of coffee, jumping in the shower, then cuddling on my couch with my coffee, my bible and my laptop before I get ready for the day. I usually would search around until I found a verse that I liked, and then would read the entire chapter in order to fully understand the verse. That's when I stumbled upon She Reads Truth. I'm not sure if you guys are familiar with the #SheReadsTruth daily devotional site, but if you aren't, you should be.

Short, sweet and to the point, these daily devotionals are perfect for the working, student, wife, busy as a bee mom. That's what appealed to me the most. I am able to spend some time with the Lord, and keep the lesson in my head all day as inspiration. You can go to the site  shereadstruth.com and immerse yourself into the lovely artwork, sleek design of the site and beautifully written devotions.

Right now, they are doing a study on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd John. Come and join this group of worshipping women who are all just trying to be more like Christ!

Updates!

Hi Guys! 

I'm here today to share a few things. 

1/ Levi is done with Speech Therapy! He jokes, he has his opinions, he asks questions; it is beautiful to hear him talking so much. He is going to have a teacher that comes by the house to make sure his speech and development is staying on track. His therapist said it's time to start preparing him for school. SCHOOL?? HE'S STILL MY BABYYYYYYY!!!! I thought when she brought it up. How can I give my baby to the schools and trust them to take care of him? How do people do that? I guess that's when parents decide to home school. Gerson and I both went to public schools so Levi will attend them as well. Unless we are financially able to put him in private school. 

2/ School is going ok. Not much of an update there. I'm still trying to hang in there and graduate. I don't like to think of my projected graduation date.. its so far away I begin to get discouraged. 

3/ I started a new job! No more Target! I work as a Leasing Agent at an apartment complex. There are pros and cons to this job. For example, anyone that knows me knows that I love people. I meet new people everyday! It's wonderful. People from all walks of life; young, old, black, white, working, not working, married, single, etc. That is one of the things I love the most. One of the things I don't like is the people! (I know you're probably confused but bare with me!) They like to call the office and get mad at me when things are wrong in their apartment. It's not my fault, and I cannot even begin to even know the right tool to pick up in order to fix it. They get angry when I give them the same ol' response "I'll let maintenance know for you." I'm not sure what exactly they want me to do. I get curse words thrown at me at least once a day. I always doubted when I would see signs around the complex that I live in that say things like "We Love Our Residents!!" But its really true! I love all of the residents  that live at the apartment complex I work in. (You'd have to in order to take it all.) I have my favorites and my least favorites, but I genuinely want all of the residents to be happy and comfortable with their apartment. I love them. 

Things right now are in a good place for the Garcia's and I am so very thankful for that. My husband and I are doing so good, seems like we're really on the same page with where we are and where we want our family to go. I fall in love with him everyday. 

That's everything for now!

Time Flies When You're Having Fun... Right?

Oh my goodness, how time flies! 2014 Already? And February at that? Unbelievable!
I find it quite ironic that my last post was about juggling my life all around, yet I lost sight of one of the things last year I really wanted to do, write.

I started this blog as an outlet. Writing has always been a secret passion of mine and it pains me that I let it fall to the wayside. So, instead of making "new year resolutions" this year, I'm just going to promise myself that I am going to try and do the best I can and to let somethings go when I start to feel overwhelmed. Hopefully, I will be able to blog more because I actually love it! But if I cannot, that's ok too.

A lot of things happened in 2013. Things that were good and things that were unfortunate. People say like to say the cliche "I wouldn't change the past" blah blah blah, but I would. Things happened in 2013 that were not fair to my family and I would change it in a heartbeat. However, I realize now that everything happens for a reason, and that the good Lord knows exactly what he is doing.

Unfortunate things that happen in life shouldn't over shadow the awesome and beautiful things that happen everyday. I've come to realize through prayer and just having time to myself that life is beautiful. Its the amazing things that happen and the little victories along with the unfortunate things that makes us love the life we live.

And isn't that what life is all about? Love.

xo, Londyn.

ps, I did not edit this at all, just writing directly from my heart. Please forgive all my grammatical errors, because I'm sure there are plenty! :-)
