Apes and Cherry's Great Adventure Roadtrip!!

Friday after work Apes and I loaded up in her car and made our way to Peoria, IL!! Here we are at the beginning of our trip!!

Peoria Bound!!! I have to say it was the easiest straight forward trip I have ever taken to Iowa!

There was an amazing Sunset in the sky, it was absolutely gorgeous!

Apes was just driving along and I DJ'd for our ride!

More pretty sky!

Monday, my brother brought me from Iowa back to Peoria and I had the chance to meet up with my dear friend Joy and her daughter Delaney! We've been great friends, but only online! For the past 8+ years! I was so excited to finally get to meet her! Emboz was super jealous as they are buds as well! And glorious day the GREAT GARRY came and surprised me and I nearly fell off my seat!! It was wonderful fun!

Here we are getting ready to head back to Lafayette! Notice my hair was struggling by this point but Apes looks beautiful!! Look at those bright blue eyes!!

We made a quick stop in Leroy, IL, which was just hilarious to us! We have a big joke with the name Leroy and ol Leroy Gonzalez, so of course we HAD to stop there!!

Right after Leroy comes the Farmland Rest Area! And of course we had to stop there as well, because who could resist a photo op like that??! Not me! When we were pulling out the worker there who had seen us taking pictures, was in a vehicle pulled to the side and was clapping and dancing and singing to us. It was odd but funny. We attract all kinds!

Don't ask me why my Farmland sign is orange. I have no clue! We hada great time roadtripping and I had an even greater time with my precious snugglemuffin! Stay tuned for more tales!

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
