Festively Fabulous Fourth!!

Pastor Shettler would be so proud of my alliteration skills!! :) Happy Fourth of July!! We started off our day by going to my parents church where PJ preached an excellent service on Freedom and obeying God and those who govern us. Romans 13:1-7 if you're interested!!

As soon as I got back to my parents I ditched my church clothes and threw on my new suit Mom gave me!! Its actually cute, but not cute enough for you to see it on here! When you're not exactly skinny bathing suits can be hideous but I actually liked this one! Anyways, I thew my suit on and spent the next hour and 45 mins floating, swimming and tanning in our pool!!

I can't even tell you how relaxing it was!! I wanted to stay out longer but my parents said I looked really red :( and after the sermon this morning obedience was on my mind :) so I got out! It was so fun though and brought back all of the memories from my childhood. when I was a kid I spent allllll day outside in the pool and running around with my brother. It was fun to remember those times :)

Speaking of my brother, notice the black and pink floatie. I laid on that in the pool. Untill it started deflating. And then I had to get off blow it back up. Lay on it for about 30 mins. get off blow it back up.. It reminded me of when Kev had his first apt in IA the first year he interned. Mom and Dad stayed in a hotel and I got to stay at his apt and sleep on the living room floor. He had a blow up mattress for me that kept deflating ALL NIGHT LONG!! I was up at least once an hour trying to blow it back up. Worst night of sleep I think I've ever got. anyways as I was laying on the float in the pool and it kept deflating i was reminded of that oh so precious memory. To this day I won't sleep on a blow up mattress. Especially at my brothers!!

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

It's me, Charity
