Welcome to my Blog!




Hey Ya'll,
My name is Dre and Vae is a nickname formed from my last name.  I wanted to create a blog where I share my journey of life.  I am currently embarking on a weight loss journey, but I wanted my blog to be more than just that one piece of my life.  In this blog I want to share and write about different topics.  Topics like, my family, friends, faith, fashion, beauty, sports and obviously health and fitness, and whatever else my heart desires.  Most of my blog will most likely be sharing my weight loss journey but I don't want that to be all I write about.  
I was born and raised in Texas and moved to Tuscaloosa, Alabama last year to attend to The Greatest University (in my opinion) The University of Alabama.  Roll Tide!!! 🐘  One of my biggest passions in life is helping others.  With that being said I am getting a major in Human Development Family Studies with a concentration/minor in Adolescent/Youth Development.  After graduating with a bachelors I want to get a masters in counseling.  Counseling is something I feel is my calling and something that will allow me to help others.  It has many different avenues and I am still undecided on exactly what area of counseling I would like to pursue.  
One interesting fact about me is that I actually attended Toni and Guy Hair Academy right after high school.  I graduated and got my cosmetology license.  After graduating, I worked in a salon for a few years, but came to the realization this wasn't something I was meant to pursue for the rest of my life.  Doing hair was more of a hobby and I still love styling hair but I don't want to work in a salon.  Now I have found something I can see myself doing as a career and that is where I am at now.  I wouldn't be able to be where I am without God, my amazing parents and their support through it all.  
Love you Mom and Dad! 💞
I also have an older sister Rachel, and I will be sharing a special blog dedicated to my amazing family!
This first post I wanted to just be an introduction.  I am really looking forward to writing more, but until then...Hope ya'll have a great day and God Bless. 😊

Getting My Groove Back!

Hey Ya'll, January 1, 2014 I embarked on my own weight loss journey.  I had attempted many times before but I made sure this time was different.  On the outside I seemed like a happy person but on the inside I was disgusted with the person I saw.  I remember crying myself to sleep at night and feeling like maybe I am meant to just be a "bigger girl."  This was my lowest point in life when I was at my own rock bottom.  It was a dark and negative place that I never want to return to.   Ever since I was a little girl I had always been chubby and would look at food and felt like I gained 20 pounds.  I didn't know what moderation was and ate because I loved food (still love food).  Many people don't know this about me but I had a binge eating disorder that I kept very private.  Food controlled  my life and it was my go to especially during stressful times.  So on January 1, 2014 I told myself that my resolution would be to get the weight off.  We have all

Update on Mom

Hey Ya'll and Welcome Back 💞 Todays blog post was not easy to write but with permission from mom she has allowed me to share a moment that I pray no one ever has to face. August 15, 2017 a day that seemed like any other day.  Mom and I were on our way to the cancer center.  While I was pulling into the parking garage mom gets a phone call.  The call was from her radiation oncologist informing her of a stat MRI.  We walk into the cancer center like all the other times we have.  She gets her lab work and we walk over to her little pod waiting for treatment.  The nurse comes over and informs us that they needed to start an iv for the MRI.  I began getting a little anxious due to the urgency the nurses and doctor had.   Mom has been very unstable and weak the past couple of weeks.  Walking has become a struggle for her and it just seemed like mom was moving backwards towards recovery.  We place mom in a wheelchair and I wheel her down to the outpatient imaging.

The Past Month...

Hey Ya'll and Welcome Back💞 I wanted to explain why I haven't uploaded a blog post in a while.   The picture I chose today is a major part of why I've been so busy.  I began classes again and just wanted to show off the beauty of UA.  My school schedule is Monday through Friday and I'm a full time student.  This semester has been hard for me though.  I love learning and attending my classes, the problem I am having is wanting to be social.  A huge part of me just wants to be able to attend each of my classes and not talk to anyone.  I have changed in a major way ever since receiving the news on mom.  Some of my classes are also challenging for the simple fact what we talk about is something I can relate to.   Earlier this week I really wanted to withdrawal from this semester.  School became overwhelming and I just didn't know how I could get through this semester.  I felt guilty for going to school and be away from mom.  In between and after my cla
