April's Wedding- Time to go Home!!

After we left the Reception Katie and I headed to McDonalds to change our clothes. We did not get the Frozen Strawberry Lemonade and I was a little sad about that because apparently thats only sold in Michigan right now. :( Sadness. Here we are fixin to get on the road! I think this might be our second best picture! We were really workin it that day!!
We passed a John Deere place so of course I had to take a picture for my brother and Dad. Long live JD!!

INDIANA!!!! Indiana never looked so good!!


OK funny story. Well two actually. As we were getting close to the toll road Katie told me to look at the ticket and see how much it would cost. So I look and find out its 1.60 a reasonable price. But I am immediately SHOCKED and HORRIFIED by the price to go to Portage!! Stinkin 4.70!!! I immediately said HEY!! Thats Highwa.. hahahaah HIGHWAY ROBBERY!!!!!! I got the humor right as it was coming out of my mouth. We laughed for a solid two miles. Possibly more. Tears were coming out of my eyes and I was gasping for breath so I really wasn't paying attention to where we were. Sadly this type of thing happens all the time. My brain and mouth aren't exactly connected!!
After that hilarity we came up to the toll booth, we were listening to one of my FAMOUS mix cd's and ol 50 cent was singing about his birthday. Katie looks at me and says, should we bump it? Its an old guy!! I said hey its your mini van, go for it!!
So we rolled up to the toll booth, 50 Cent bumpin it from her Mini Van Speakers and the look on that old guys face=PRICELESS!!




The final semi interesting thing that happened on the way home was passing where WNDU broadcasts from. My parents live North enough that they get South Bend TV, so I have grown up watching WNDU 16! Too bad we couldn't stop and chat with Maureen McFadden and Rick Mecklinberger! :(


I Just have to say that Katie Marie is a great Chauffer and a fun road trip buddy! We laughed SO HARD on the way home that we should have had 6 pack abs the next day from all the muscles used! She was a great sport to go with me and put up with my nefarious craziness!!

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
