I know that I don’t talk much about my singing ministry on this blog but I had to share this with you as it is so important to me.  The other reason that I wanted to share my good news is because I love God and when he does great things for me, I need to share it with others.

Sharing your good news is a part of your testimony and our testimonies have power.  God gets the glory when we tell others of his goodness and at the same time,  the devil is defeated. 

So, take this opportunity to tell me your good news.  What has God done for you in the past couple of months?

List 10 things that make you happy. Tag 10 other bloggers and link back to the person who tagged you.

1. My hubby makes me happy.  We just celebrated four years of being together as a couple on yesterday.
2.  Music – singing it, writing it, listening to it…
3. Entertaining and planning stuff is so much fun to me.  I think that I love every element of it.  I am planning a shower for my friend right  now and am having the best time. Next up is a Mother/Daughter event for the spring.
4. Talking to my mom on the  phone – we always have the best conversations and it seems like we never want to get off the phone.
5. Girl Scout Cookies – specifically Samoas
6. Blue boxes from Tiffany’s make me happy.  I believe this makes all girls happy.
7. Pretty Nail Polish - Lately I love shopping for nail polish and finding different colors.
8. Going on trips  – Whether short or long, I love to getaway.
9. When people ask  me for help – especially when they reference The PeachPost.  That really makes me smile.
10. Playing dress-up.  I love going into my closet and putting pieces together to make new outfits. It’s so much fun – especially when you have something new to work with.

For the last black history moment of the month, I would like to bring attention to Mia Love. In 2009, she became the First African-American and first woman elected mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah. Mia is the first African American woman elected mayor in the state of Utah.

This past Friday I had wonderful opportunity to go and see the Alvin Ailey dancers at the Fabulous Fox Theatre. I went with a group of ladies from work and someway somehow we were able to see a mini-show (1-hour long) for about $10.  It was an awesome deal.  I believe that the performance was geared toward children but it really didn’t matter to any of us.

The mini show consisted of two sets: one new (Uptown) and one old (Revelations). Uptown was very jazzy and choreographed by a former Alvin Ailey dancer.  Revelations  features negro spirituals and the dancers are dressed in church wear and hats, and at some point they wear all white for a baptism interpretation.

If you love dance and arts, then going to see the Alvin Ailey show is a must.  They usually come to Atlanta every February.  If you can, try the mini show.  Otherwise, plan an evening out and enjoy the amazing dancers of the Alvin Ailey dance company.

Okay PeachPost readers, I want to hear from you. I get a lot of visitors, but most of you never comment.  So I am calling out all of you who are lurking around. Introduce yourselves and let me know who you are, where you’re from and anything else that you may want to tell me.

Idea via PJ

• Friday - Alvin Ailey show with co-workers.  Lunch was at Einsteins with my girl, Shay. Sidenote: Thanks to Staples for the recommendation.  The food there is delish!!!  I stopped by to see my precious little Lexi (my friend’s baby) but she had a host of guests so Auntie  Aarika kept it moving.
• Friday Night - Wings and redbox movie.  The movie was Madea Goes to Jail and it was not that good.
• Saturday – I hung out with my hubby.  I wanted to eat outside so we chose Fellini’s and I went to Nordstrom to try on  these shoes (surprisingly comfy) so that I could buy them for sale online.  I procrastinated and they sold out. Marshall’s was on the list of places to go, so we stopped there and I picked up some new pillows.  Another thing that I can check off my list. We went to see our couple friend’s new baby, Little Warren, who is too cute.  Congrats Warrens!!!!
• Saturday Night  – We were named Godparents for my cousin’s son whom we affectionately call Izzy.  We were so honored!
• Sunday - We went to church, J put some food on the grill, I let the pup play outside and oh what a lovely day!!

So last week I mentioned that J and I want to have kids, but we want to wait about three more years. Actually we only want to have one child.  It could be a boy or a girl.  I don’t really have a preference.

So what about you all?  Do you want to have children?  If so, how many? How long will you wait?  For those you that have kids, how long did you wait?
