Acne problems

Hey all,
First of all, thanks for reading this. I need some serious advice! I have had terrible acne for the last few months, and by terrible, I mean ATROCIOUS. The worst I have ever had. Does anyone know of a good product for Colorado's dry weather? I have used Proactive before and it worked pretty well, but I think it was created for people with oilier skin. I have very dry skin and need something that won't completely give me rashes and such. I am literally at the end of my rope. I mean I don't even want to go out in public. So please please help! What have you used? What do you think might work for me? Oh, and I tried doing the birth control thing, but the pills just made me really depressed so I had to stop taking them. Please help!

A moment that I had to share

I experienced an incredible moment today that I had to share. I was on the way to pick up a friend when I drove by the funeral home where Shawn's viewing occurred. Every time I drive by this place, I say, "love you, Shawn" or, "miss you, Shawn." I think about Shawn, my eyes well up a bit and I go about my day. But, today was different. As I drove by, I said my usual words to Shawn and came up to the stop light as it was turning yellow. I am the kind of gal that drives through a yellow light. But I didn't this time. I sat in the car and looked across the street at the funeral home. As I turned back around, I felt this overwhelming feeling of love. Like nothing I have EVER felt before. It was like my heart had stopped and my chest gradually grew stronger with that "butterfly" feeling. It was so strong and pure that I knew exactly what it was. It was him. It lasted for about 30 seconds. It's impossible to explain how pure and deep this feeling was. I have never, in all my life, felt like this. It was supernatural. It was not a feeling that happens every day. I knew immediately it was Shawn. My eyes filled with tears but I was not sad. Not in the least. I felt so much love that all I could do was smile. I am so thankful for this experience that Shawn gave me and that God blessed me with. I know that Shawn is still near, watching over all of us. He has not left us. He is near by. I know that we all miss him, but he is alright. He is happy.

I love you, Shawn. Thank you for today. ❤️

Today's garage sale scores!

I had so much fun garage sailing today! We probably only went to about 6 places, but I found some really great stuff!! I am trying to find cheap stuff for when I move into my own apartment. Which will hopefully be in the next 5-6 months! But who knows. All I know is that I am going to work my tooshie off to get into my own place. I'm going to be 21 in October, and i'd say it's about time! Anyhow, I wanted to share a pic of my finds today! I'm loving the turquoise/white theme as of right now! I can't believe I found such vintagey looking stuff for only about $10 over all! :) I found two cute scrapbooky vintage blocks, a white square basket, a turquoise tin watering can, a white candle holder, shabby chic wooden picture frames (going to paint them), and a turquoise and white shabby chic bird house! what do you think?!

Full Time

Well, lately I have been getting less and less hours at work.  There are less hours available in the fall, but for someone who worked there the ENTIRE summer, I feel like I should be getting more hours than some of the new employees.  So, I am looking for a full time job.  My wish would be to nanny at least 30 hours a week, so I will be able to finally move out of the house and get my own place! I have an interview on Sunday morning, so wish me well! :)

Farrell Family August Birthdays

One thing that I love about my family is that we get together a lot and always celebrate the birthdays in our family! Kian loved the gifts he got and the money too!

Kian's 6th Birthday!

I love decorating and throwing parties, so I decided to be in charge of Kian's 6th birthday party! I asked him what he wanted the theme to be and who he wanted to invite. He said that he wanted a race car party! And he decided to keep it an all boy party and only invited his guy friends. I had such a blast making all the decorations and planning the games! My best friend Cami also helped me make the decorations and helped with the kids! She is the best! Kian loved his party and all of the kids had fun! It was a success!
