Happy 2026! 🪩🎇🎆🎊🥳🎈🎉🍾🥂 I am grateful for the blessings in my life, the adventures, the people I love, those who love me, new friends, my new niece, losing over 30 pounds (still more to go), and my strength in overcoming pain. I’m proud of myself for taking a leap outside of my comfort zone to move across the U.S. and try something new. I’m trying to remain hopeful for the year ahead. There are a lot of uncertainties in life, but one certainty is that I have so many reasons for joy, and so much to be thankful for. I’m going to keep focusing on those. Let’s see what 2026 has in store for me. ♥️ #newyearsamemebutwiser #stilllearning #newyear #2026 #gratitude

One of my favorite Reels I put together somehow was glitched and won’t play so I’m reposting it. Originally posted June 2023. I have since bought Cadillac floor mats: “I spent hours detail-cleaning my Cadillac today. She’s giving luxury vibes.✨ She looks almost brand new inside. Eventually, I would like to get Cadillac floor mats. I love this damn car.” 😎🖤 #1979 #cadillac #coupedeville #obsessed #classiccars #classiccadillac #mycaddy #caddy #1979cadillaccoupedeville #diycarwash #detailcleaning #paintitblack #rollingstones

Ladies and Gentlemen: After a tow from Oakland, CA, a new battery & starter fluid, a rebuilt carburetor, a busted window replacement, new bumper fillers, back-paying unpaid registration, new exterior upholstery, new Cadillac logo floor mats, dent removal, tail light frame replacement, a complete tuneup, new power-steering hose, tire rotation, new breaks, a cut & polish, and an entire year of waiting, I give you my 1979 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. 🖤😎 I'm slightly obsessed. I said I was going to restore her, and I did (with the help of many talented people) almost exactly a year from the day I got her. Next I will post a Reel of before and after photos. I'm proud. 🤩 #1979cadillaccoupedeville #cadillac #coupe #deville #classiccars #restore #classiccadillac #1979 #shesgorgeous #nowtonameher #blackonblack #rarebeauty #projectcar

This is one of the cutest things I think I’ve ever seen. Have you ever seen a 4-year-old vibing so hard?! That’s a boy after my own heart. 🥹♥️🎶 🌅 Song Credit: “Golden Hour” by JVKE #inthemoment #vibing #fouryearsoldandhegetsit #mood #musiclover #goldenhour #jvke #goldenhourbyjvke #1979cadillaccoupedeville

I finally took the time to put together this Reel documenting what I’ve done/had done to my Cadillac (with voiceover explanation along with photos and video) to get her in the best shape I possibly can. I don’t know if I’ll ever see the day when I’m finished working on her (which I’ve heard is every classic car owner’s lament), but I’m happy, grateful, and proud of how far she’s come in a year. This Reel may be more interesting to car enthusiasts like me, but even if I just did it for myself, I’m okay with that. I haven’t found the perfect name for her yet, so I just keep calling her “The Caddy”, but as you can see, I love this car. 🖤😎✨ Below is a list of those who have helped me, thus far: @ebay - I was able to find the parts I needed that I purchased and installed or had installed: bumper filler parts, tail light frame, glass for quarter-window @tony_deluca_05 - tow @industrialmisfit - storage, carburetor work, misc. Blackstone Collision Center Fresno - bumper fillers Kirk’s Upholstery - vinyl top replacement @allamericanglassinc - glass installation Blackstone Brake - tune-up, brakes, tire rotation, misc. Dent Tech - fender dent removal Pablo’s Detailing - 1st cut & polish @oxoticfresno - engine cleaning and cut & polish Thank you to all listed above. 🖤 #cadillac #cadillaccoupedeville #1979 #1979cadillaccoupedeville #classiccars #projectcar #mycaddy #thecaddy #pimpmobile #gangstercar #gangsta #grateful #ilovemycadillac

I had a great time at Servpro Headquarters in Gallatin, Tennessee. I learned a lot and met amazing people. I got to see the core of our organization. Mainly, it just confirmed for me that Servpro is a company that operates with integrity. We care, we do what is right, and heart is at the center of what we do. 🧡💚 #servpro #servproheadquarters #gallatintennessee #servproofclovis #servproofvisalia #servproofnortheastfresno #servproofredding #servproofshaverlake #restoration #mitigation #reconstruction #biohazardcleanup #fire #water #mold #biohazard #crimescenecleanup #boardups #likeitneverevenhappened #weareservpro

Work trip to our company headquarters (work stuff in a separate post) so we took advantage while in Tennesse to see as much of Nashville as we could fit in! We went to The Country Music Hall of Fame, RCA Studio B, The Grand Ole Opry (including a back stage tour and stage access), the Ryman Auditorium, Johnny Cash Museum, and bounced around all over Broadway to check out all the live music and famous bars. I loved Nashville. I would move there in a heartbeat. So much history, so much music, such a beautiful city, and southern hospitality. ♥️ #nashvilletennessee #thegrandoleopry #rymanauditorium #rcastudiob #countrymusichalloffame #thejohnnycashmuseum #broadwaystreetnashville

Exactly one year ago, TODAY (the day after Thanksgiving last year), I had my 1979 Cadillac Coupe DeVille towed from Oakland, CA to Madera, CA, to begin the process of restoring her to as close to her original beauty as I was able to. In this Reel you can see the progression, starting with the state she was in the day I got her, to the goal I had set for myself (showed a car in a showroom the same make/model/year/color as mine, in mint condition, as my goal) and lastly, what mine looks like today. I set out to restore her and did it in less than a year. She’s a beauty. “You gon see me comin’ in a big black Cadillac!” - Elvis Presley 😎🖤 #cadillac #coupe #deville #cadillaccoupedeville #1979cadillaccoupedeville #santaclauseisbackintown #elvispresley #elvispresleysongquote #thedayafterthanksgiving #oneyearago #oneyearagotoday #thanksgiving #thankful #imthankfulformycadillac #projectcar #restoration #vehiclerestoration #classiccars #showcar #cadillacrestoration #headturner #showstopper #mybigblackcadillac #1979 #toktok
