Weekend Wrap-Up

So I am a little late to the whole weekend wrap up post, and it's not because I was busy today! On the contrary I have been up since 9:30 am, cooked two meals, cleaned the final boxes out of my spare room closet-more on that later, and watched way too much Sister Wives. Ok so maybe I was legitimately busy, except for the last item.

On to it!

 I had a great weekend! Friday at her lesson Taya told me about the huge garage sale that was going on at her church the next day. She had been working there all week, helping get set up, ect. They were raising money for a future missions trip for the teens and I could not pass that up! So I got up way early for a Saturday and I was so happy that I did! Taya carried around all of my books, bless her heart, I got 11 books and they were up to her eyeballs literally!!! I also got the super cute basket she's holding-to give to my Mom. I also got the red tulips and a cute vase as well! And I only paid 4.00 for all of it! I am holding a second bag of books in my other hand that you can't see. Some of them were brand new and some of my fave authors! Soooo well worth getting up early! I had such fun and was so happy that Taya had invited me!

After that I ran some more errands and finally mailed off a Wedding Present from May. yes, I struggle.

Saturday after all that I needed a short nap, and then I was recharged to work some more on my spare room! It's really coming along! Still have no clue what I am going to use it for, but dangit if that closet isn't going to be clean and organized!!
 Sunday was Church and thankfully I was feeling well enough to go. With my stomach issues I am not always able to attend church and I hate that. So I very much appreciate when I am able to go and Worship. It was wonderful! We had such a powerful joyful service. I was singing to God with all my might, I felt like I couldn't get my voice to be loud enough to Praise him!

I haven't posted much about it here but my Grams has been dealing with Metastatic Ovarian Cancer and it has been horrible. Many times we did not think she would survive. About a week and a half ago after her normal cat scan we found out that she is currently Cancer Free! No more chemo! She had over 6 weeks left and the Dr told her they do not treat what is not there! 

When my Mom called and gave me the news I was so shocked. I still am. After I got off the phone with her I was so overcome and didn't know what to do. I immediately thought, I have to pray! Praying on my couch wasn't going to cut it, so I literally dropped to my knees in my living room (and was also thankful my carpet had just been cleaned!) and attempted to pray. But the only words I could get out as I cried happy happy tears, were Thank You Jesus, Thank You Jesus. I think he understood. :) 


So Church was amazing.

I could tell you about my Target trip after church and the entire book I read that afternoon but I think I'll leave it at that.

So thankful to God for his hand holding us, all the time.

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
