I gotta give an appreciation post this morning. I saw a great friend of mine post something about her bae, and I want to give some lovin' to my man. Jameson, you have shown me so much love and patience in the year and a half that we have been together. All the struggles and hardships that we have been through together have made us so much stronger as individuals and as a couple. You are so strong, patient, and kind. You have a level head, and you help me to see the bigger picture. You always find a way to keep me safe, and always look out for me no matter what. You listen to my crazy self all the time, and help reassure me in myself and us rocking out this thing called life together. I actually forgot what it was like to truly let someone love you as you are, and to never compromise your happiness for someone that doesn't feel the same. The rollercoaster ride that we have been on has definitely been a rough one over the last few months, but I feel that we are finally getting a chance to truly shine in our lives. You are my light and my purpose to succeed. You show me so much love, gratitude, and dedication to make our lives so great, and I am truly thankful for you in my life. You have opened my eyes to not only the old me, but new beautiful sides of me that I never knew existed until you came around. Let us continue to flourish in this endeavour called life. Thank you for showing me what true love is supposed to be FOR ME, and thank you for never giving up on me. I love you, Jameson. And thank you for taking this ride with me called life. It's still gonna be bumpy, but I know we can get through it together. P.S. I REALLYYY miss you beard and I would like it back please. Lol. Love you babe. ❤ https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Ez4fyARkVcuGqy3MDiqHhlXFqtrKrOUAPfo40/?igshid=1cr267kmo80uk

Happy New Year Everyone! Ringing in the new year with my very special man and a great life ahead! Let's do this #2019 🎉❤🎊 @sthrnrebel https://www.instagram.com/p/BsJW9CfBDHpo5-4RTW9qBF8e8o9ShqsZ7OrmC00/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jo8kg7moi6vv

My Darling Smelly Belle, 14 beautiful years on this Earth with me and my family. I will never forget when you came into my life. Wearing a red shirt and and cute orange bow on your collar, December 19, 2004. You were everything I wanted that Christmas. But that day, I received something much more than just a puppy... I received a lifelong companion. A best friend. Someone who was going to listen to my every word, be there for every breakup, a warm hug at the end of a bad day, a partner to play with, cry on, and run all day long in our youth until we both passed out on the couch. You have been my everything for a very long time, Belle, and you are going to be sadly missed by hundreds of people who have had the pleasure of meeting you. This is a hard loss on family and friends, alike. As sad as I am, I am so BLESSED and grateful to have had such an amazing companion for so long. Not a lot of people can say that they've had the same animal in their life for almost 15 years. She has definitely brightened our world in so many beautiful ways, and to know that she is resting in peace after today puts my heart and soul at ease. Thank you to everyone that has ever come into contact with Belle and has made her life worth living. I am appreciative for every ball thrown and anyone who has ever taken time out of their day to play with her and love her as much as I did. "All dogs go to heaven." Cant wait to see you there, Smelly. Your Biggest Fan, Alliecat 🐶❤🙏🐕😘 @sthrnrebel @_mcdomangue @brookiebeck (at Houma, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq22ikrBc8FyNdzmnkUqWgMuOoIoOqFtNCo1BQ0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bjomf7991lql

I just want to give a #mcm shout out to my amazing boyfriend. Jameson, you truly do amaze me everyday with your drive and intelligence, and you always find a reason to make me smile. You do things for the betterment of our relationship, and every day you push yourself to become a better human being. You find the silver lining in EVERYTHING. And your personality is truly beautiful. One of my fondest memories we have so far is how much you make me LAUGH. Almost to the point to where I'm crying on the floor most of the time. 😂 But what I find so amazing is how you push me to be better. I strive to be better for you every day of our lives together. The happiness you bring me is indescribable... And I just want to say that I am one lucky gal. And it took me going all the way to Augusta, GA to find me an amazing Louisiana man. Thank you for being you and never change, babe. Thank you for making me better woman in so many facets of my life. I'm excited to see where this future takes us next! 😍❤😘 #happy #blessed #mcm #bae @sthrnrebel https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp0h_q7hFJk4ij68F4ZQ9hbBiFDqA-tKj3e8dM0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yfoiy6furyl4

Thank you for such a wonderful weekend @sthrnrebel! You are truly a remarkable man, and I appreciate everything you do. Here's to many more weekends together. #luckygal #mancrush #weekendshenanigans

I am absolutely in love with my new look! I have to give a huge thank you and shutout to @where_is_molly_ for taking on this daunting task and making my hair look amazing. I feel like a new woman, and a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders! Literally and figuratively! Thank you so much, I am absolutely in LOVE!!! ❤💇‍♀️😍 (at JCPenney)

I know this is a little late, but my life has been non-stop for almost twenty days, and now I finally have time to keep my eyes open and write this post. This Master's tournament this year flew by for me. It was also my hardest Master's yet. I worked so hard and towards the end, I fought tooth and nail to come out on top. My last day there I spiked an extraordinarily high fever, I was dehydrated, and I had a headache and sore throat from hell. I survived this year by the smallest of margins. I drove the majority of the way back to Louisiana with all these symptoms. If it wouldn't have been for my darling @chef_jaii, I wouldn't have made it back home when I did. Now that I am home, recovering from my illness, and just got done working some of the hardest back to back shifts of my life, I can say that I truly feel like a warrior. If I can get through that, I feel I can get through anything. This year's tournament for me was full of physical as well as emotional ups and downs... But one thing is certain. I came out on top, and I am looking so toward to kicking butt again next year. Thank you to all my friends and family for their support throughout the years, and a huge thank you to all my wonderful friends who got me through this tournament this year. I love you all. P.S. To my amazing friends @mclahaie, @kaitlynellis111, and @tfulton41, you are all the reason why I come back every year. Thank you for the laughs we share. And through the hard work and craziness we put ourselves through, our friendship and love will last a lifetime. Thank you all so much 💖💖💖 Hopefully one day y'all can all make a trip to the Deep South! #Masters2018 #conquered #readyfornextyear

My heart is so heavy today when I hear the news of one of the greatest Chefs to ever live has passed away. Monsieur Bocuse, you will be sadly missed. This passed summer I attended your culinary institute in Lyon, France where my life has forever changed. Thank you, thank you, thank you. From the bottom of my heart. You have embedded skills, friendships, and lifelong memories at your Institute. And it's all because of you. Thank you for everything, Chef. ❤😢😍 #chef #paulbocuse #gonebutneverforgotten #love

Merry Christmas!!! 🎄🎄🎄 @dimattiaj

Oh woman, where do I even begin... Lara, you have truly brightened my world in the best of ways since I have met you. You are this sassy, strong and beautiful South African woman who walked into L'Institut Paul Bocuse with such excitement and a hunger to learn. You are a fiery woman who is passionate, loving, and driven to succeed. I only was with you for a short time in my life, but you have left a mark on my heart that will last forever. We shared many laughs and many tears together, but these pictures encapsulate what our friendship was like in 3 and a half short months. The one thing that I love the most about you is you take so much pride and honor in your South African heritage. I learned so much about not only you, but where you come from. And that will forever leave a positive mark on my life. I too, take pride in my 'down da bayou' lifestyle, and it makes me so proud that we are able to share with each other the love and fascination we have for our own cultures. I absolutely adore you, my darling Lara. And I can't promise you exactly when, but I do promise that I will make my way to South Africa and see you once again. Until then my dear, God bless and take care. And know that you always have a place to stay in the Deep South. Thank you for being you, and never change. You have truly changed my life for the better and I am so happy that our paths crossed in this lifetime. @wolfaardtlara 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 Your Bayou Belle, Alexandra Claire ❤😍🇺🇸

Love this time of year. 🎃🍬🍫🍭😱 #halloween #trickortreat #candyskullmakeup #candyskull
