New Years in Iowa/Longest picture post EVER!

So I realized I blogged about Benjamin but not about our overall trip to Iowa! So here is how we spent our New Years, better late than never right?! We headed out early Friday morning. Here is our packed truck. FYI the presents in that box all hit me in the head when Dad had to skam on the breaks. Youch.

My little spot!

Ahahah this picture cracks me up! I was SO tired, my eyes are like half open!!! hahaha

We drove through some crazy thunderstorms untill about an hour away from Kev's and tehn it got very foggy. It was pretty though, fog on farmland..

When the roads start to be named John Deere, you are very close! :)

The Pavillion has TONS of cool JD stuff but its pretty expensive. :(

WELCOME TO IOWA!!! YAYS!! I was SOOOO excited at this point!! But not so excited to be on that gnrarly bridge. I HATE that bridge!

K&L with Benjamins outfit from Auntie Katie!

Mom makes baby blankets for people we love, here is Benjamins! I thought it was adorable! I keep telling her she needs to sell them on Etsy!

Daddy played with Benjamin's Stuffed Snoopy, Blankie and lotion.. Poor B..

The little family! Before I snatched the baby away again :)

He is only in his bassinet because we had to eat. Doesn't he look like an Angel?

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo! My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable. My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size! Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!! That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...

Blue Monday!

Today's Festive Blue Monday outfit! I wore my tried and true trouser jeans, a short sleeved beaded top I got on clearance at Macy's of all places for 6 bucks!! And my awesome new jeweled flats! Sooo comfy and cute! Since it was in the 60's today I was able to get away with this warmer weather outfit! Beading on the top, I love it! Shoes, so ugly they are cute!!

Book Review: The Last Dance you Saved by LJ Evans

Buckle Up Buttercup, because Sadie Hatley is finally getting her story!!!! And it did not disappoint at all! The only thing I didn't like about this book is that it ended. I could have kept reading for 1000 more pages. L.J. Evans is a Masterclass in how to write Romantic Suspense (that's not so scary you can't sleep at night) with witty banter, heroines who kick butt (figuratively and literally). Her books are full of real people with real problems. And I think that's one of the things I appreciate the most about her writing. Yes, her books are an escape for me, but they also show that whatever you're going through in life, everyone else is also going through something. In the case of Sadie and Rafe alot of those issues they contained to themselves and kept the hurt and pain inside of them, in order to be strong for others and what they thought they needed to be. But L.J. shows us that not only is it okay to let people in, but the beauty and redemption that come...

It's me, Charity
