So How Does It Feel to be 30?

D and I

My beautiful and yummy cake
(thanks Christian!)

M&M's given to each of the

dinner guest

The M&M's were personalized for

my special day! (thanks honey!)

I think 30 looks pretty good!

Thirty is...choosing your own path, opening up to new possibilities, never settling for less... Thirty is... giving of yourself, taking risks, aiming for success... Thirty is... just as special, exciting, and wonderful as you are. Have fun with it!

Yesterday was my 30th birthday! What a fabulous day it was! Everyone asked me "so how does it feel?" Demetrius made sure that this day was extra special. I started off the day with breakfast in bed which was delicious! I had planned to run a few errands and was told to be back at the house in a timely manner because Demetrius said I had an appt at 1315. I made it back home at 1245 thinking that would be plenty of time for this mysterious appt. Well we didn't quite make it in time for my birthday massage (mystery appt) *sad face* so I had to reschedule for another day after work.

I was running late getting back home because I was trying to find a new outfit for my birthday dinner....well no luck with that...I came home empty handed and missed my appointment. Demetrius finally said well I am going to have to give you your birthday present earlier than planned. It just so happened that he had bought my birthday outfit! It happened to be a really nice red dress and shoes! He later told me that is why he told me not to go trying to look for anything, but I didn't listen! Hard-headed! (I know... bad girl aren't I?)
Dinner was at 6pm with family and close friends. It was a really nice occasion. The long table was full of people (20 to be exact) that I love dearly. I was very appreciative of everyone who came out to share this special day with me. Demetrius worked really hard and made this a day worth remembering. (I have a little time before he turns 30 to come up with something-- 6 months to be exact!)
So how does it feel to be 30? It feels great! I am anticipating good things... there are so many things that I still want to do and accomplish. I am just thankful to God that he has allowed me to see another day and another year. The words written at the beginning of the blog were the words from one of my b-day cards and just like it said I plan on HAVING FUN WITH IT!

Fall Is Here!

We have not posted in quite awhile on this blog! I cannot believe how time has flown. We are already in the month of October! So many exciting things have happened in the past few months. Most recently, Demetrius and I were featured in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette "how we met" section. It was a joy to walk down memory lane and to let others share our in our love.

Demetrius was recently promoted to IT manager! We are so blessed and thankful for this new endeavor that God has given him. We know and trust that God will guide him and give him the tools he needs to do a great job! (I am biased, but I know D will do great!) I just need to bring a little pizazz to his office and he will be well on his way. =)

Due to us taking swimming lessons a few months back, we have a desire to be near water...so what better way to do that then to go somewhere warm and with nice beaches! We have decided to go the Bahamas! In a little less than a month, we look forward to enjoying some sun, water, and of course good cusine! (we cannot wait)...we are long overdue for a vacation! We will definitely take lots of pics!

Fall has begun! The leaves on the trees are turning colors and the sky is beautiful. We do live in Arkansas so the weather is still doing it's on thing...it was 90 degrees this weekend...so we are currently still wearing flip flops and tank tops! We did have the opportunity to ride to Hot Springs this weekend and go to Garvan Woodland Gardens. It was a beautiful drive on the way! Again, it was rather warm, but we enjoyed being out in nature...I leave you with some of the pics that were taken on our trip there.

love and blessings!

Summertime is officially Here!

My strawberry sprouts (look very closely)

Jazmin: It has been awhile since we have posted on our blog. Yes! The Carter's have done what I kind of suspected would happen....we fell off the blog wagon! =) I am sure many of you can understand that life's daily tasks seem to occupy a lot of the day...mainly my JOB! =) After I get home from work...I am usually tired, and then I have to come home and do my part of the housework (yes! D and I share the household duties) but that usually leaves little time to work on a blog...but I hope that we will do better. =)

Summertime has arrived! And I can definitely feel the heat! One morning for breakfast I had cereal, juice, and a popsicle. =) I kind of formed a little summertime ritual of actually having a popsicle before bed (Yum!)


I FINALLY got around to planting my strawberry seeds. Demetrius was lauging at me because I am sooo proud of my little sprouts. You would think I have strawberries, but just to see those little sprouts bring joy to my heart because I know that the are eventually going to be a delectable treat! Also I know if they do actually grow then I can definitely make an attempt for my organic vegatable garden!


Some of you may know that I will be 30 this year (yikes!)...I didn't originally have a "before I turn 30 I want to do this" moment, but I actually have come up with one =) " Before I turn 30, I would like to learn how to swim!" Yes! I do not know how to swim. Why? Because it has always been about my hair...don't get me wrong I am by no means vain...I just have not had much luck with swimming and my hair. I did the swim/wash hair everyday during the summer...well the washing everyday dried my hair out and then my hair broke off, therefore I had to get it cut...so I have not really been to keen on the idea of putting my hair through that again. Now I have my hair cut...so I think I will go ahead and do it now and if my hair breaks off...there won't be too much to cut off! So I( along w/ my hubby) will be taking swimming lessons at the end of this month. I will keep you posted! (Demetrius knows how to swim but he is just taking the class for moral support---isn't he SWEET!)


Until then...enjoy the summer and be thankful for the small things! ( I am learning that everyday!)

Reading is Fundamental

Jazmin- So my time off of work ended quickly...I have been back at work for about a week now and I am ready for another vacation!! (smile) I will say my time off was great! Got some much needed house projects done, spent lots of quality time with my hubby, did some reading, enjoyed watching television, and staying up late. Unfortunately, my strawberry plant is still in the box. My dream is to grow my own vegtables and fruits (organically), so if I want to accomplish that you would think I would have a little enthusiasm about planting about 10 strawberry seeds (smile)...I am going to do it; I promise. =)

Something that I also enjoyed doing was reading with Demetrius. I originally checked a book out to read and I started reading it. Well on our way to Jackson, MS; Demetrius started reading while I drove. He caught up to where I had stopped, so I told him to start reading it to me because I didn't want him to pass me. =) We each took turns reading as the other drove. Once we got home, we continued to read to one another before bed. Unfortnately, another book I had on hold at the library was ready to be picked up, so I gladly picked that book up and began reading it (got done in 2 1/2 days). My attention span for the other book was short lived, but Demetrius finished it...so he will have to tell you about it, but we did find another thing that we enjoy doing together...reading! I look forward to getting some books on audio and stepping into a whole new world together (I LOVE reading!)

Demetrius: Well vacation time for the wife has long gone. She wrote her part in this post a long time ago. Shame on me for just getting to my part. We traveled to Jackson, MS for my sister's graduation for one day of the vacation. Seeing her graduate made me realize how old I was getting. While she was driving, I got the idea to start reading the book she had been reading (Sins of the Father by Angela Benson). She was on Chapter 9 at the time she had stopped reading, so I caught up with her and started reading out loud so she wouldn't get behind. I really enjoyed the book. I became so engrossed in it that I took over and read the rest of the book on my own. I have never been an avid reader, but I figured I'd need to find me another hobby other than playing video games. I look forward to reading many more books with my wife. I think it will be fun for the both of us.

After we returned from the trip, I went and got a library card. I don't know what happened to the one I used to have. The first book I checked out was 1984 by George Orwell. I read this book in high school for an assignment, and I remember really enjoying it back then. At this point, I haven't started reading the book, and I have only 7 days left (shame on me). Hopefully, this will become my favorite hobby. I like getting lost in the imaginations of others. So until next time.....Toodle Bye.

A little R and R (Reflection and Rejuvenation)

Well it has been awhile since we have made a post...some have asked have we done anymore blogging =)...my dad teased us about the "book" we wrote in our first few posts =) So we are excited and blessed to know that others are enjoying this as much as we are. It does take some time to make blog post (which I didn't realize), but it is worth it in the end. We decided to title this "A little R and R" because that is what we will be doing over the next week. Demetrius and I have taken off some days from work and we are looking forward to sharing this wonderful free time together...

Demetrius: Yay for Vacation time! In my mind I am contemplating what to do with my free time. As my birthday rolls around, I realize how old I am getting. The last few weeks, I have been wondering where the time has gone. Seems like yesterday I was a kid in Greenwood, MS hanging around family and friends. Now I sit in a house that I own and with a wife I so dearly love wondering where my hair is going. A lot of people come to mind as I think back as Memorial Day approaches. Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents, Cousins have all left this earth in my 29 years here. I miss them all dearly. Not a day goes by that some thought doesn't pass in my mind about one of these people. A laugh here, and a laugh there. Missing loved ones is hard. So I will spend this Memorial Day cherishing the moments I have had with them and celebrating their life.

My wife wants to work on this vacation. We will see about that. I am a believer in resting and having fun during vacation time. I think she has a way of convincing me to do things though so who am I fooling. I know I will be sweeping, mopping, wiping, vacuuming, dusting with my manly apron on. I will enjoy every minute of it .

Jazmin: So today is the beginning of my week vacation...I have been anticipating this day for quite some time. Work has been BUSY! I will end it there because I will not be thinking or talking about work for the next 7 days! =) I will focus my attention on reflecting on God's goodness and meditating on His word. I feel that God has me in a season of preparation, so opening my ears and my heart to His word and His voice is very pertinent at this time. Memorial Day will also fall on my vacation...I have to admit that the older I have gotten the more I think about this holiday. It used to just be a 3 day weekend/day off from school, but now that I have lived a little, there are people who were in my life but are now no longer with me...Doris Sanders (maternal grandmother), Reatha Poole (paternal grandmother), and Gabriel Carter (son)...so I will reflect on the life of individuals as well...thanking God for there life and their influence on mine.

I am also looking forward to doing some much needed cleaning to certain areas of the house (yes I did say I am looking forward to cleaning =). I am also looking forward to celebrating hubby's b-day (May 31st)...driving to Memphis to eat at Joe's Crab Shack (I am super pysched about that!), catching up on some reading, not getting up at 430am, sleeping late, getting my strawberry plant started( it is still sitting in the box), and just resting my mind....I am sure vacation time will fly by (as it usually does), but I plan on enjoying every minute of it! =)

P.S.---If you can't tell...I cut my hair (wink) =)

Coping with the Loss of a Child that We Never Knew

Demetrius: We thought this would be therapeutic for both of us. So here it goes...Jaz and I went through a tough ordeal during the month of March. We were so elated to be pregnant, and we were so happy to be past the dreaded 12 week period. We had dealt with a miscarriage just months before this pregnancy and we lost the first baby around 5 or 6 weeks. This one was a little tougher being that we had made it to 18 weeks. We had started planning things. I gave up my game room =( , I had already started double duty around the house (to ease the burden on my wife), and we had started driving around picking out stuff for the baby's room. I just can't put into words how happy I was that I was going to be a father. One evening after work, Jaz began feeling uneasy. I didn't think much of it because she was pregnant (thinking it was normal). She told me she really didn't feel well , so we hurried to the hospital. The next few hours would be the toughest for us both. We found out that the baby would not be able to survive as Jaz's water had broken. It all came at an instant! (Crashing like a ton of bricks) Here we were giving up ourselves and planning our future for it to all be taken away in a flash. The hardest part for me was seeing my wife emotionally ripped apart. In my head, I am thinking...what to do , what to say, and how to say it. I hated to see her cry. I wanted this for her as much as I wanted it for myself. The other thing that was emotionally taxing was seeing the baby (my baby boy). It was as if he was a splitting image of me. It hurt that I didn't have a chance to teach him anything. It hurt that I couldn't be a father to him. It hurt that he didn't get a chance to live. Jaz's mom was there by our side throughout this ordeal. She said the most simplest thing that put this whole situation into perspective. She said, "His time here was done, He served his purpose here, and God wanted him home" My son had taught me to cherish the moments we have on this earth. He taught me that God is in control and the things we have here are not our own. This situation taught me to trust more in God and not my own understanding. Who knows what this life has in store for us? Through pain and heartache, faith, hope, and love endures. Gabriel Melvin Thomas Carter, say hello to everyone up there for me... until next time. Love, Dad

Jazmin: "In 4 weeks, you will find out the sex of the baby." Those were the words that my doctor uttered on my prenatal visit. Demetrius and I were super excited. The baby had a strong heartbeat (150 bpm). I was so excited to know that a life; a life that God had blessed us with would be growing inside of me. I had reached a point of feeling him/her kick. I was starting to "show" and just anticipating August 20th, 2010 when Baby Carter would make its debut. Unfortunately, Baby Carter made his debut March 16, 2010 at 8:20 A.M. @ 18 weeks. Gabriel Melvin Thomas Carter became God's little angel that day. I left the hospital feeling empty, feeling like such a failure (of course none of it was my fault), and not understanding how I went from having a healthy pregnancy to having to bury my sweet baby boy. Longing to hear his cry, longing to see his eyes, longing to know what Gabriel would have become...It hurt me to the core. Many people reached out with comforting words, prayers, and also utter disbelief.

In my time of sorrow, God was continuing to give me strength, continuing to send people my way to let me know that He was still God, and He had not forsaken His children (Demetrius and I). Through prayers and tears, I continued to praise God for who He was to me. Even when I didn't understand, I still gave praises to our Heavenly Father. I began to read and hear other women's stories who had experienced what I had experienced. I felt this was God's way of telling me, "Jazmin, you are not alone." Through His word, God was continually feeding my soul and giving me the strength to eventually face the "world." I was at home for 3 weeks only surrounded by my husband, my tears, my mom, my dad, and encouraging calls, emails, and texts from my "great" girlfriends. My "world" was work, the last place where everyone knew and was excited about my expectant arrival. God gave me that strength and I returned to work very nervous, but very strengthened. I am very thankful for my coworkers; they are a great group of people.

I will say that as I was reminded that each day will get better. Each day has gotten better. I do think about Gabriel...EVERYDAY! He was our first born son (He looked just like Demetrius), but I do hold on to the fact that I know that Gabriel is in heaven and he is watching over his mommy and daddy. I know that God has a purpose for each and everyone of us. Gabriel had a purpose and he served his purpose in those 18 weeks. A very dear friend told me "Jaz, I continue to thank about Gabriel's name and it fits him perfectly...he's here for a short time, but his life leaves such a beautiful mark that changes lives and points others to God." (Oh my sweet Gabriel)

Demetrius and I continue to grow strong as a couple; we continue to trust in our God who loves us and continues to bless us. We are so thankful for the love of family and friends and prayers (The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective James 5:16) An angel that God sent my way told me "A faith unchallenged is a faith unchanged" (So powerful). When we go through trials and tribulations, God wants us to learn something from it and if Demetrius and I came out of this situation unchanged then God would not be pleased, but I feel that Demetrius and I have come out of this stronger, wiser, and better people. I am currently reading "Grieving the Child I Never Knew" by Kathe Wunnenberg and of course the Bible. Demetrius and I continue to have hope that God will bless us with another child, but I remain thankful that God gave me a chance to be a mommy to my sweet baby boy Gabriel. I love and miss you Gabriel, Love Mom

Happy Mother's Day!

Today is Mother's Day and we would like to give thanks to our mother's...

Jazmin: Today is a day that many are celebrating...a day where everyone shows extra appreciation for their mom. I am sooo thankful for my mom...she is my best friend, my prayer partner, my inspiration...an amazing woman. It is not uncommon for us to talk a minimum of twice a day (I repeat a minimum..we talk way a lot throughout the day). It is not uncommon for us to have our "gab fest" (as Demetrius would call it)...we are easily on the phone giggling like little school girls. It is not uncommon for us to talk about God, the Bible, or just encourage one another when this Christian journey gives us bumps along the way. It is not uncommon to find us "just hanging out" like old friends. I am so thankful for the woman that God chose to be my mother. She is a woman of amazing faith and I hope and pray that I will be the mother that she is to me. Love you mom!

Demetrius: Mother's Day is always a tough time for me. I don't get to enjoy this day like everyone else. On this day every year, I reflect the time I did get to have with my mother. Although she is not in my life the way I would have her be, she is my mother. I hold onto that in my heart. I will always love her unconditionally no matter where our relationship stands. You never forget the one person that brought you into this world. I am thankful for her. Love you Mom.

Our Story...God's plan

Demetrius: A year and half into this teenage love affair, my world was once again rocked. This part of the story gets a little hazy in my mind as I can’t remember who made the decision that I should move back to Mississippi with my father (OH NO - insert sad face here). Needless to say, three and half hours and no transportation, temporarily ended our relationship. Over the next six years, we had sporadic meetings and phone calls. It was more like one escort in the Alpha sponsored Debutante Ball and 1 -3 phone conversations per year. I wanted more, but space had a funny way of getting in between that (until one chance meeting in the summer of 2003).
Once I graduated from undergraduate college, I came back to Little Rock. When I graduated from high school, my dad moved to Little Rock (why this couldn’t have happened 3-4 years earlier?). In the latter part of the summer, Jaz and I rekindled the feelings we once had for each other and learned some new things about each other. Approximately a month into this, marriage became a topic. But alas, an old friend would revisit us. I was off to Howard University to pursue my Master’s degree after that summer. Distance would once again challenge our relationship. Two years pass as we overcome that obstacle, and we were married that December of 2005.
As I look back over my life, I can see GOD’s work. A couple of different circumstances here or there, and this story could never be told. I wouldn’t change anything that happened in my life because I would not have gotten the chance to wake up next to the person I call my heart and soul.

Love you Babe


Jazmin: Our relationship lasted a year and a half. Demetrius had to move back to Mississippi in the middle of our tenth grade yr. (He @Hall; I @Parkview). Long distance for two young people was not a good idea, so our relationship ended. =( We would keep in touch periodically throughout the years. Fall of my freshman year, I was asked to be a Debutante. I needed an escort of course. I thought to ask my cousin, but in the back of my mind I wanted a non-relative escort. =) Soo...Demetrius Carter popped into my head. I worked up the nerve to call (after sweating, practicing what to say, and heart racing). We talked and I finally asked and he gladly accepted (thankfully he did not have a girlfriend at the time). We hung out during his time in Arkansas and it felt like we had never separated. We did talk about having a relationship, but the distance thing was very hard for me to accept. So resumed back to talking periodically.
In 2003, I graduated from college. It was during this time that Demetrius and I had not talked for awhile. I told my mom that I thought it was time to just remove Demetrius' number from my cell phone because I thought our friendship was not there anymore (I would later find out from Demetrius that it was not that he did not want to be my friend, but that it was hard being a friend when he knew he wanted to be more than friends). No sooner than I said those words to my mom; about a week or so later my dad tells me that he ran into Demetrius' cousin and he said that D got accepted into the grad program at Howard Univ. in D.C. I ended up sending him an email congratulating him. He replied back saying that he was actually going to be in Arkansas for the summer before school started and that we should meet up.
We ended up meeting and hanging out like we were two old friends. We ended up having lunch one day and it was there that we talked about everything. We decided that we would give long distance a try, so for 2 years we endured a challenging (long distance) but rewarding relationship.
The Lord had this in His master plan from day one. I tell people all the time the the Lord put us together and I am so happy He did!!!

Our Story...How it began

Demetrius: As most of my wife’s closest friends know, Jaz went to Forest Heights. She always tells me that the reason she first noticed me was because I was in all of her GT (Gifted and Talented) courses, but I had the physical traits of a thug. I had an afro, and I dressed in colored Dickies (pants), white shirts, and Nike sandals with socks (yes socks, lol). She told her mom that I must have been a smart thug. That’s the one thing I can point to in my life that helped me overcome the cards that were dealt to me (my intelligence). I built up the nerve to ask for her number ( I kept that piece of paper for the longest time – 223-4756 is etched into my brain forever). We talked on the phone for long hours at time (you know how kids are). We got really close over a period of time. So close in fact, I started to call her my future wife (my family can attest to this). I always said that she and I would be the first black couple in the White House. A funny caveat to us dating was that her mom used to chaperon us on dates, church visits, eating out, etc. Consequently, her mom and I got really close also. I never did mind her mom being with us because she was such a nice person...



Jazmin : It was 9th grade and my last year at FH. By then most everyone in the 9th grade had been there since 7th grade. I was in gifted and talented classes, so I pretty much had all of my classes with the same people. That year, there was new guy in all of my classes except one. He had an afro, wore heavily starched khaki pants, and white t-shirts. I immediately passed judgement on him. "He must be a very smart thug" That was fascinating to me for some reason b/c I never met a thug who was smart. (My thinking is VERY mature now :) I went home and told my mom about this thug that was in all of my classes and how I thought that was neat. Months into the school year, I really started to "notice" this new guy. I thought he was very cute and I liked him. I was embarrassed because I had to go back to my mom and tell her that the guy I had labeled as a smart thug was someone that I had become fond of. I told my friend Karen about my little secret. I don't remember our exact conversation, but Karen would be the one to tell Demetrius that I liked him (of course when I wasn't around). Karen and Demetrius had a class together so that was the best time to tell him. Of course I was hoping that he liked me back because this was the first time I had vocally expressed my liking for a boy! Karen did report back that Demetrius did like me as well (Yes! Karen was our liaison)... so who approached who first? About a week went by and Demetrius finally asked for my number in art class. Demetrius said he thought it was hilarious because I wrote my first and last name on the paper (Ha! this was definitely my first experience with exchanging phone numbers with a boy) We finally became a couple! This was an exciting time for me. We were pretty much inseparable. We spent a lot of time on the phone and with my mom! (Yes!) I wasn't allowed to date until I was 16, so no unchaperoned events. Having a boyfriend was pretty neat and getting sweet love letters everyday was cool! ( I still have some of those letters). Ninth grade would end and we would go to high school, but it would happen that we were assigned to different high schools...

Our Story...Where it Began

Demetrius and I have an interesting story as to how we became "Mr and Mrs. Carter". Some of you may know it, some may know bits and pieces and some may not know it all. So for the next few days we would like to share with you how the Lord put the two of us together.



Demetrius: It’s funny that my father said he was going to have my cousin write a book about our love story. He has as much to do with this story than I do. A couple of major life events had to happen for this story to even be a story. First off, I am from Greenwood, Mississippi. I always talk about my childhood with my wife. I didn’t necessarily have the best childhood as far as those things go. My parents divorced when I was 9, and I ended up staying with my mother after the separation. After 3 years of witnessing poverty and drug abuse first hand, my life took a drastic turn. My mother decided to move to Texas without me. I packed what little clothes I had and walked to my grandmother’s house. For whatever reason, this story doesn’t involve me moving in with my father at this point. I really can’t remember the details of that mishap.
The first major event that served as a catalyst to this story was my grandmother succumbing to the effects of diabetes. The second event was the decision for me to move to Little Rock after my granmother’s death. At that point, I felt alone as I had lost the only person that I thought cared about me. I had had enough of the Mississippi experiment. I had felt my life slipping down a slippery slope. I was hanging out with the wrong people and partaking in things that I shouldn’t have. I felt this was a great opportunity to start over. That summer(1995), my life was relocated to Arkansas. Arkansas always had this mysterious cleanliness to it (I use to visit every summer). It felt like a foreign country (a stark contrast to where I grew up). The cleanliness became the metaphor for my new start. That summer, my aunt and cousin took up the task of figuring out where I would be attending junior high school. It was between Forest Heights, Horace Mann, and Dunbar. Needless to say, I ended up at Forest Heights. Now you see where this story is going...



Jazmin: I was born and raised in Little Rock, AR. My parents divorced when I was 12. A lot of people did not know my parents divorced unless I told them because the remained very good friends. My childhood was pretty good. I loved spending time with family, reading, and school (I am somewhat of a nerd). I also had a huge infatuation with Usher. Between church activities and school; my life stayed pleasantly busy. It was only natural that when I would enter Jr. High school that I would attend the school where my dad taught. It was at Forest Heights that I would meet the man that God chose to be my husband...

Let the Blogging Begin!!

So we (I) decided to start a blog. =) I have wanted to do a blog for quite some time, but was too scared or didn't know what I would write about. Someone sent me a link to their blog and I thought it was so neat that I felt this is something that I must and should do. I then thought I really don't want this to be my own little project, but I wanted my better half to join in on the fun. I approached my hubby with the idea that we were going to do a blog. =) The first thing he said was "What will we talk about?" I told him that I had no earthly idea. We both laughed. We got excited though because this would be a good way for us to share with our friends and family and allow them to be apart of our life. Weeks had gone by and we still didn't have our first official blog to post. On my way to work at the wee hours of the morning it came to me that we should possibly talk about "our story", but I kind of put it in the back of my mind. Later that week Demetrius called me at work and said "I have our first blog post; We should tell our story" I told him that I had thought the same thing. It then became a matter of getting it written.
As you can see I have written our official first blog post, but it is not our story...it is a start though =) Demetrius and I are looking forward to sharing with you our faith, our hope, and our love. We hope that you enjoy this as much as we do!
