I love Boys!

Well if you have been paying attention to my twitter feed, you will know that today I found out that I am going to be an Auntie to a precious little baby boy!! I am SO excited to know who is coming now! Now I will start a countdown to the birth!! :) 4 more months!!

I'm really happy for my brother, Kevin and my SIL Liz. They will be fabulous parents and I can't wait to watch this new season of life that my big bro is entering into! I started thinking about how weird it was going to be to have a new little member of the family, since its really just us 6 (Mom &Dad, K&L and me and Grams) but then I realized I always thought it would be weird to have a sister in law and my brother be married (seriously, when did we become old enough to get married and have kids??!!) but when K&L got married it really was like finding a missing member of the family! Liz completes our family and now we are going to add a baby to it, the best of K&L and I'm really excited.

Honestly I am a bit nervous. I was hoping for a girl, just because Katie has boys and I wanted some variety, and foofo stuff! :) But I am somewhat relieved to find out that its going to be a boy! I've been seriously worrying about how to be a good, Godly Aunt. I don't really have extended family. Well.. I have them, but I don't have them if you know what I mean. And I've never had an example of a Godly Aunt so I'm somewhat lost as to what exactly I'm supposed to do and what is called of me. The knowledge that this child is going to grow up and will look to me for advice and as a role model seriously scares the ever lovin tarnation out of me!! So at least being an Aunt to a boy who won't be modeling my behavior as much as a girl will maybe ease me into this Aunthood.

I will even admit that I have googled how to be a Godly Aunt and I haven't gotten very far so if anyone has any advice or tips, PLEASE leave them for me!!!

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
