Happy New Year!

Dallas, Mike, Juliana, and Jabari

We are just popping in to wish all of our blogger friends a Happy New Year! I wish you all many blessings in the new year!

Okay, I know I said it in 2014 (and probably 2013) that I would blog more, but I am serious this time. For one, I have a new computer and two, it took me all of two seconds to upload the pictures to the blog by using pictures from my phone camera. I inadvertently came across the button that said "upload pictures from your camera". I had a real duh moment. I was thinking how could that be so. I did not save my pictures from my phone on this computer...duh Vickey this is Google and my pictures are backed up on...Google! I had been trying to upload them from iPhoto which I never did figured out. So in essence, I have no more excuses. I just have to remember to click upload from other options. I will post something even if it is a snapshot or two. Two seconds....really?! Anyways, here is a mini story as a peace offering.

Mike: So, how are the wedding plans coming along?

Juliana: Interesting, that you would ask. I set up an appointment today to meet with the planners next week. We will plan a meeting soon after that with the bridal party.

Jabari: I will send out an email with the meeting details by next Friday.

Dallas: So babe be sure to put it on your calendar. You know you have to escort me down the isle.

Mike: What? He-he...I don't think I am the one who is forgetful.... Miss "I am SO sorry, I forgot, please charge it to my head and not my heart" (as he pretends like he is clutching pearls).

Juliana: (laughs) I can just hear her saying all of that.

Dallas: Humph! Whatever, this is New Year's Day, not pick on Dallas day (as she walks away to go to the bathroom).

Mike: He-he, he. That's my baby.

Jabari: Yes, she is. No one else would be able to put up with her (chuckle).

Juliana: So Mike, you never responded to my text the other week when I asked you about a double wedding. You guys are talking about it, so what's up? She gets up and puts her hands on her hips.

Jabari: Babe, really?

Mike: Oh, no no problem Jay. Jul and I go way back. She has always shot straight from the hip (chuckle). Jul, let me work some things out first. I don't want to hold up you guys plans. I will get back with you or Jay within the week.

Juliana: Um huh. I will see.

Jabari: As he grabs he says - Nothing or noone can change me and my baby's plans.

Juliana: Awe, thank you baby. I love you!

Dallas: Oh goodness....here we go.
Juliana: Whatever honey (chuckle).

Dallas: You want some more of the peach wine?

Juliana: It's Stella Rose Dal and yes, please.

Dallas: She walks back over to the sofa. I just love my cousin (chuckle).

Juliana: Are you tipsy (chuckle)?

Dallas: No, just excited about all of the many blessings and things that 2015 will bring. Happy New Years you guys!

Juliana: Happy New Years to you to too and all of our blogger friends!

Cheers!!

Be blessed!
Vickey

Oh, P.S. I just love the saying on Juliana's shirt ~ Be Yourself!!

Juliana and Jabari ~ Hanging with my babe!

Happy Sunday!!

I actually attempted to take the pictures around Valentine's Day, but had issues with my camera (batteries died on me twice), so that is why the V Day bag is apart of this photoshoot (lol).

Juliana and Jabari has returned from a day of pampering and shopping. After breakfast, they started their afternoon by shopping and retired to getting a couples massage, facials, and (with Juliana's pleading) a mani and pedi. They stopped by Tiffany's to have her ring cleaned. Note: They were engaged at Christmas, so check out the rock that Jabari proposed to her with. Three carats!

Juliana: Honey go ahead and eat. I am going to rest a bit before heading home.
Juliana: To Prince and Princess (dogs) Hi guys!

Princess: arf arf
Prince: (in a louder) woof woof

Jabari: I can't wait to bite into this wrap. I need to invest in some stock with Chynadoll's Deli as much as I eat there. (chuckle)
Juliana: I know right! Me and the girls eat there at least once a week. So delicious AND healthy. You can't beat having them both in one spot.

Juliana: Were you guys good?
Prince: woof woof
Princess: Too cute to respond : )

Jabari: Babe, you forgot to remind me to stop by Pet Smarts to get treats for them. Now he is all up in my face looking like where are they Pops.
Jabari: to Prince ~ I got you man. Luckily I have a couple left in the bag.

Juliana: Oh honey, I forgot. I will pick them up some tomorrow. I plan to stop by the mall to look for dresses for our grandmothers.
Jabari: I will do it babe. Those bags are too heavy for you to carry and I need to pick up some food for my boy.

Juliana: Okay, that is fine. You don't have to pick up any for Princess. Her grandparents bought enough to last for the remainder of the year. (chuckle)
Jabari: Cool!

Juliana: Honey, I need your final list of groomsmen as soon as possible. We need to plan a meeting within the next month with our bridal party so that we can get committments from everybody. You know Auntie Diahann will hold nothing back when she gets involved with the planning. I need everything to be in place so that she does not offend any of our friends (chuckle). She can be over the top sometimes.
Jabari: I plead the 5th! I don't play with those Carroll sisters. (chuckle) I will have it to you before the week is out. I am waiting to hear from Mike and Kolbe.
Juliana: Okay, please set a reminder in your phone.
Jabari: Okay, babe. I gotcha.

Juliana: I love love my new pink Coach bag! I had my eye on it from day one, but refused to pay what they were selling it for. Thank goodness for the after Valentine's Day sale. Thank you Cupid (chuckle)! No seriously, thank you honey. To Prince and Princess, "you guys see what Daddy got for me".

Juliana: Baby, time will be here before you know it. We have so much do and so little time to do it. I am so happy that Mommy and Auntie Diahann have volunteered to do most of the leg work. It really helps that they are retired divas with nothing but time on their hands.
Jabari: That is the great thing. Once my Mom is able to join them they will be the dynamic trio.
They both laugh
Juliana: Yes, your Mom fits right in with them. Truly amazing how well they all have it hit if off. Mom adores your Mom and my Dad is crazy about Mr. Remi. He said Mr. Remi is the brother he has always wanted. (chuckle) Two peas in a pod.

Jabari: I know and my parents feel the same. Pops was telling me the other day about all of the fun they had on the cruise in December. He was like son, Bradley said this and Bradley did that.
Juliana: I can only imagine what my Dad was doing (shaking her head). Sometimes I wonder how he captured Mom. She is so prim and proper and he is the total opposite. He always say it was his charm that got her. (chuckle)
Jabari: Mr. Deveaux is a cool dude though. I feel blessed to have the in-laws that I am about to have.
Juliana: Me too babe. Me too.

Juliana gets up to gather her things so that she can head home.

Jabari: Don't forget I am getting with Pops this week to take a look at that land that Grandma left for me and Jay. We have one year to make it happen and I want us to be on target with everything. I will move in with Jay if I have to for a few weeks until the house is ready. Once he tells me what is mine, we need to get with the contractor asap.
Juliana: Okay, no problem babe. I already have it on my calendar. (smile) You know I don't skip a beat.
Jabari: Who you telling? I know you remember. And he kisses her.

Juliana: Thanks for another lovely weekend babe. I LOVE (with emphasis) you!
Jabari: Not possibly more than I love you.
Juliana: I so beg to differ (chuckle).

Juliana: Alright babe, I am going to head home. I have a couple of projects that I must complete before the night is over. Mom and Dad are coming in to town next week to check on a couple of their properties and you know Dad will want a full report as to what, when, where, and how.
Jabari: Mr. Deveaux wants to make sure his money is right (chuckle). Your Pops don't play when it comes to his family and his money.
Juliana: Yep! The only time I have ever heard my Dad raise his voice was when someone had temporary insanity and attempted to mess with one or the other. (chuckle) Let me get out of here, I will be on Dad's list if I don't get those projects done.

Juliana: See you later honey. (In thought) I can't wait to be Mrs. Jabari Remi. I love my man!

Jabari: (In thought) That's MY woman! I love my baby!

Juliana: I will call you when I make it home babe. In thought ~ I HAVE to be the luckiest girl on earth.

While driving home, Juliana decides to call her cousin Dallas to tell her about who she saw while out shopping today. She was not going to believe it. Um um um....

Juliana: Places a call to her cousin Dallas (using her built-in handfree cell device). Hey Dal, girl I have something to tell you!
Dallas: What?! Did Prince beat up your little Princess? chuckle
Juliana: No, heifer Prince did not! I told you, he is not a vicious dog. Not to mention you know Princess runs circles around him. (chuckle) So whatever! I am on my way home, so get the champagne glasses chilled....

Thanks for stopping by!

Be blessed : )

2014 ~ Wow, it has been a year!

Hi my blogger friends! I am finally back. It has been a year since my last post. I have had computer issues (ugh), but I continued to follow your blogs on my ipad. One of my new year promises (not resolutions - I hate those) is that I would start back blogging the first chance I had. Well, this week we had a bad snow storm that resulted in my not being able to go to work. I took the pictures on Tuesday night which was great because Wednesday morning I woke up to my power going out just as my feet hit the floor (8:15am). My power was out until Thursday evening around 6:30pm. It was horrible. I am still thawing out. Lol! No, I was actually okay. I just stayed in the bed under the covers, so I got plenty of much needed rest. Okay, back to the dolls. : ) I left off with couples and decided that this is the season, this is where I left off a year ago, so pictures of couples would be a great way to return.

First up is my most seasoned couple.
