30 day Challenge - Day 8

Day 8 - A place you have traveled.

My favorite place that I have traveled would have to be Disney World. I loved it. I had turned 15 two months before I went but the moment I walked into the park...I turned 5! It was the most wonderful feeling! I can't wait to go back!

30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 7

Day 7 - Favorite Movies

My all time favorite movie is Casablanca. It is the best love story in the world. The passion and the suspence and the heart break and the OMG! Yeah!

My second favorite movie would have to be The Rocky Horror Picture Show! I know every single word and no matter how many times I see it, I can always watch it again.

All other movies are good, but these I could watch at anytime, in any mood!

30 Day Challenge - Day

Day 6-A picture of something that makes you happy

Well that would be easy...the picture is any picture that contains Christopher Jr., Jacob Cole, and Joshua Joseph! My family makes me happy. It is the only thing that keeps me going in life. They are the reason I wake up in the morning and the reason I breathe! They make my heart jump and take my breathe away. When I am around them I just want to stop whatever I am doing and stair at them and cry because I am so blessed to have them and for God to have chosen me to be the one to take care of them.

30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 5

Day 5-Your siblings
Tracy Lynn Pitre Guidry is my only sibling! She is married to Jason Paul Guidry since 2002, and has two of the cutest kids (besides mine) that God could ever create! Jaselyn Michelle is going to be 8 on the 15 of this month...well on Wednesday, and Joesph Michael will be 6 on January 6. My sister is always going to be my BIG sister no matter how much taller I become than her! Right now I am about 40lbs and 6 inches bigger than her, but she will always be my big sister! I love her so much! We have had our moments, thought out the years growing up, but I think now, we are just best friends! I wouldn't be who I am without her!

30 Day Challenge - Day 4

Day 4-Your parents
Dick and Debbie Pitre. What could I not say about my parents! Oh man I can be here all night...so Ill just summerize!

Dick Pitre was born in New Orleans in July of 1954. The 3rd son out of 9 kids for my grandma and grandpa Pitre. He lived in Luling until he turned l7 and then traveled around the country until he turned 18 in Wisconson and joined the Army. He went to Germany where he spend time until he came home for leave and went to a Watson wedding, where he saw...from across the room....Deborah Watson! Younger sister of the man getting married! Dick had grew up with Debbie, he remembered her from school. He walked up to Jimmy Watson and said...I am going to marry your sister. Naturally my uncle said "Over my dead body!"

Deborah Waston was born in New Orleans and lived in Luling and Mississippi. She was the oldest girl of 9 kids for my grandma and grandpa Watson. She grew up in the local church and helped raise her younger brothers and sisters as well as being an excelled student. Fresh out of high school she got engaged to a boyfriend (man I forget his name, not that it is important anyways!)

Little did Dick know that Debbie was engaged to be married to another man. But he was weird, so Dad interviened a little bit and before he left he became Debbie's penpal! For 9 months they wrote to each other as he returned to Germany. Upon his arrival back to the states, ending his term in the millitary, he came back to Luling and married Debbie!

A couple years later my sister was born, three or four years later Dad got a job in Tennessee where my grandparents (Watsons) moved to, and they moved. I was born in Tennessee and then when I was about one, we moved back to St. Charles Parish, enjoying their grandbabies; where we have been ever since!

30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 3

Day 3-Your first love (or "Your spouse")
Well my spouse to be was not my first love but I hope he will be my last! Joshua and I have known eachother since we were about six years old. He says he used to like me when we were little, but he never told me. I thought he was cute but he was younger than me, plus a good friend was in love with him so I never thought anything of it. We saw each other every summer until I went to high school. We didn't see eachother much in high school or after high school until ONE NIGHT!

It had been about 5 months since my ex husband left and I was out at a bar with friends listening to a band. HE WALKED IN and i freaked out...Kinda like one of those Love at first sight things, but more like Love at 1,000,000 sight! I got all light headed and my friend Ashley told me I looked funny. I couldn't stop stairing at him all night, it was crazy. I tryed to be cool and ask him for his number (just as a friend) but as he later explained...he knew I liked him....cause he could feel someone stairing a hole in the back of his head! haha!

It has been a year, 7 months, and 3 weeks since then and now we are going to spend the rest of our lives together. This fall he asked me to be his wife, and Cj and Jacob to be his step-kids! And the rest is history!

30 Day Blog Challenge - Day One

Day 1-Introduce, recent picture, 15 interesting facts
Hello everyone out there in cyberspace! My name is Dwan Elizabeth Pitre (Originally Pitre, Used to be Switzer, back Pitre again, soon to be Veillon)! I am a 26 year old, single mother of two boys, engaged to a gorgous man who adores me!

Recent picture of me:

15 interesting facts about me: ( I guess they mean things I think are interesting about myself, ok well sorry guys if you don't think they are interesting!)

1. I grew up having a crush on my best friend. For 8 years I had a crush on my best friend and never told him anything! (Until I got drunk one night in 2004 and called him) We havn't spoken much since. Just a nice hello how are you and how have you been text for our birthdays kinda thing. But I do not regret telling him because I never have to worry about "What If?"

2. I have never EVER smoked Weed! Yes I know....there are not many of us out there who never tryed it. Oh believe me...it was out there for me to try...I even rolled a few for friends who thought I was good at the technique! But I never ever smoked it! I never wanted to. I don't know if it was the horror stories my dad used to tell me when I was younger about when he was younger, or what but YES I NEVER TRIED WEED!

3. I don't like to drink. Yes I have been drunk, but I have found that I have to force myself to drink it. Once I get started is a different story! But I have much more fun without any alcohol in my system than when I drink. Drinking makes me sleepy! Yes I get that gene from my mother! I don't like the taste of alcohol, even though when mixed with the right things, I have been known to tollerate the taste! So there that makes me feel better!

4. I do not regret, in the least bit, getting married the first time. If I had to go back and do it all over again, I would do nothing different. It might mess up where I am right now. I am proud of what I have learned and survived. I am proud of the two wonderful boys that came out of it. And I learned that love is not something you guess at or try to control. I am glad that Chris and I are friends now and hope that we can continue to be friends. We are both proud of eachother and our accomplishments and where our lives are taking us. So no I would not change my past!

5. I am a public information assistant for St. Charles Parish. I have the coolest boss in the world. I am scared if she ever desides to do something better with her life, cause if someone comes in to take her position and they start changing stuff I am going to have to find me a new position also! I am part of the Public Information Office for the parish. It consists of me and my boss! We are in charge of the government access channel 6! We update and maintain the parish website, keep people informed of different things going on in the parish, and take pictures and film events that happen in the parish. I am the assistant producer of St. Charles Parish Today! A local talk show that takes you behind the scenes of local govenment! I am also the "on location" girl! Reporter for the show! I work with amazing people and really enjoy my work.

6. I secretly with I was a stay at home mom. Ok well to most of my friends and family that isn't much of a secret. It saddens me that my parents got to watch my boys grow up and that I missed most of their firsts. But if I have to work I wouldn't want to be doing anything else that what I am doing. And one day when I win the lotto or Josh makes millions, then my wish will come true, but for now I am glad I only work 40 hours a week so that I do get the time that I do have with them.

7. For those who havn't seen me lately....this is my natural hair color! Yes that is right! Thanks to Allie, we have found it! After a 12 year search....we have found my roots and now my entire head of hair is the same color. I havn't died my hair in 9 months! Yes I am proud...it is kind of an AA thing! haha!

8. My big sister is shorter than me. For those of you who don't know me that well...yes my big (older) sister is 31 and she is 5ft. I am 26 and 5ft 6ins! She used to be bigger than me until the summer before I turned 13! Bam! Teenager shoots up 3 inches in 3 months!

9. I am addicted to RITZ crackers! I can't help it! They are like pringles...once you pop you can't stop....I believe they have crack in them!

10. I like to stair at Josh when he sleeps! Oh if he knew that he would freak! Haha! He just works so hard for us and I think it is beautiful when he finally gets peace!

11. I want one more kid! Ok I would love to be pregnant like 5 more times but I know Josh would never go for that, so we are going to wait like 4 more years but hopefully we can get our girl! I love being pregnant!

12. I am still best friends with my first best friend. I almost couldn't say this statement 8 months ago, but I am proud to say it now! I have been best friends, on and off (ahaha) with Erin Dugas for almost 22 years! WOW! I love her!

13. If I keep the job I have now I will retire with full benefits when I am 52 years old! What What....then we will travel with LSU and get a RV! That is the plan!

14. Every morning I wake up and walk into my boys' room, and get to fall inlove with them all over again! I am the luckest woman in the whole world. Everyday! Every single day! Woohoo!

15. I am really going to try and not miss a day of this blog challenge, but I have to confess i will have to put reminders in my calender on my phone so I don't forget....man I am a busy mom! But I have a wonderful life and love every minute of it! And I owe it all to the last info about me! GOD is the best thing that could have ever happened to me. And he can happen to anyone if they just believe in him. AMEN!
