It's me, Charity

This post may only be interesting to me, but hey! It's my Blog! I can be boring if I want to! (Started writing this post May 25, finished May 31st. Whoops) So here's a little back story. Starting in September of 14' I was sick all fall and winter long. Constantly on antibiotics and completely miserable. After several different tests, it was finally discovered that I have crazy insane allergies. That with the constant inflammation was giving me a sinus and ear infection and non stop low grade fever. In late Feb/March I started doing Allergy testing. And started Allergy shots in Early March. Immediately I could tell a huge difference! I have not been on antibiotics since, and even though I am still having symptoms they are nowhere as severe as they were. And I can actually have a box of Tissues and not go through them in a week or less. Unfortunately I have discovered that my allergy to grass is real and terrible. It's heightened with pollen season. So after mo...

 (I really wish we'd had Supper this day and then I could have titled this blog as The Last Supper. ) Last Wednesday was our final Wednesdays with Addie lunch before her Momma heads back to work. I feel like her maternity leave went by SO quickly! Not gonna lie, I am pretty bummed to not get to see and snuggle my Addie girl every other Wednesday :( As per the usual, Addie slept thru our lunch. In her almost 12 weeks of life I have barely seen her awake. But she does look pretty adorable sleeping, and I DO love cuddling with her, so I am ok with that!  We ignored the let sleeping babies lie, and got her out of her swing about 45 mins before i needed to leave, so we could get some snugglies in. She was a little upset but I was able to calm her down with her puppy/wubbie and...  The Patented Auntie Charity Squat/Rock/Bounce. Works like a charm, every single time. I am going to have really toned legs by the time all of these babies turn 1 year old.  ...

I have a confession. I love the Duggars. Their show has become my favorite show to watch, and I feel like I know them. So much that Audra and I are always texting/emailing eachother to share the latest Duggar news, like they are our actual friends IRL. "Jill finally had her baby! He is so cute!"  " Did you see Jessa's wedding dress? SO beautiful! I want to wear that!"  We cry and I mean CRY at the wedding episodes, (Jessa+Ben's wedding was our fave) and just really enjoy watching them. It's nice to have a show that I can watch and not have to worry about stuff I don't want to see. And honestly, it is kind of encouraging television! The Duggar's have given me some ideas on different ways to serve and have even convicted me at times. So yes, I am a Duggar Fan.  And Proud of it! So when I was at Jboz's baby shower a few weeks ago Bethy informed me that Josh Duggar was coming to Purdue to speak at a banquet, I knew I was going ev...

 Well it's Mother's Day today so what better day to blog about my trip to meet my newest nephew and celebrate Easter! Brace yourself for a LOT of pictures. And these are just the ones from my camera. I have phone and tablet pics as well! It was a LONG drive, and I get giddy when I start seeing roads named after John Deere. JD country means we are close to my brother's!  Speaking of JD and my big bro, here I am going over the bridge with the building where he used to work right next to it!  And by right next to it i mean RIGHT next to it. If memory serves me correctly I got a tour of this building many moons ago.  No trip to Iowa is complete without a stop at the Happiest Place on earth. Whitey's Ice cream. I am thankful that my Dad shares my love of Whitey's and Ice Cream, otherwise I have a feeling he would not let me stop for it! We were rather excited to be here!  I always get their Cherry smoothie, and it is SO SO SOOO GOOD!!  Fin...
