The weather outside is frightful!!

A frightful 4 degrees if you were wondering! 40+mph winds and gusting.. Windchill is -20.. Beautiful day really!! And lucky ol me, I got to go out in it! I had to work today, yes on a Sunday.

Today was winter commencement at Purdue, and we had our Commencement Reception for our CFS Grads. Since I was in charge of it I had to be there. Which wasn't a problem, but boy did I wish it was warmer outside!!!! The reception went well, people stayed and talked for longer than normal I am told. Probably because they didn't want to go out in the cold! I don't blame them!!

After that I went to Katie's to give her the boys Christmas Presents and her present. I got to make her day and that was totally fun. I didn't stay there for long as they looked pretty tired. I figured as long as I was out, shoot, why not go to Walmart and pick up my medicine and a few things I needed. So off to Walmart I went.

I swear that wind is so strong, if I lose anymore weight I am liable to be blown away!! Its crazy!! So I did my final Christmas shopping and came home and made my final presents and now I am DONE with Christmas shopping!! I just have to mail out Kim and Caca's Presents, and wrap the rest of mine when I get home Weds night and I am set! YAHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Speaking of Caca, she is ENGAGED!!! AHHHHHHHH!!! I am sooo excited for her!! She texted me Saturday right after it happened. I was talking on the phone to Katie when I got her text, read it and started screaming!!! Poor Katie couldn't figure out what was going on. lol!! SO that totally made my weekend!

And for some other awesome news, my friends Ben and Janet, FINALLY got their adoption referral for their baby boy in Ethiopia!! They got to see his sweet little face!! They will hopefully have him by March! It is so exciting to see answers to prayer. I have been amazing watching God work in their lives and orchestrate them to be parents of this little boy who needs them. I absolutely cannot wait to see him and see this answer to prayer in person!!

SO there is alot to be thankful for this Christmas!

Personally I am thankful for my wonderful job. I can't imgaine being anywhere else, and wonder how I survived those two years at the temple of doom.... I am so blessed here with an awesome, understanding caring boss, and co workers who actually like me!! and treat me with RESPECT and kindness!! Its like a dream and I never want to wake up from it!

JESUS IS COOL!!

January Recap

  Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window.  BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it.  I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea
