29/52


 Last Monday I woke up earlier than my alarm clock, and before I hopped in the shower i just happened to open the blinds to the backyard and what did i see?
 TWO Raccoons. 

The mystery of what has been getting into my trash bins is now solved.

Sigh..


 That afternoon by some sort of a miracle I was done teaching by 2:30. I had not seen Jboz in what seemed like forever and was in desperate need of girl talk and some Kohen cuddle time.

This picture cracks me up, he looks like Elvis with that little lip curl!!
 It took a LOT of attempts to get this picture. Things like kitchen lights are super fascinating and hard to tear your eyes away from. Also, he looks started and scared, but he isn't. That is just his face. :)
 This was right before he demanded his bottle, and then fell asleep as soon as he started eating. Sweet baby.
 I have been experimenting with my pizza recipes. This time I made a Chicken Tomato Ranch pizza. It was good, but I think I like my ham ranch pizza better.

Thursday I had the opportunity and honor to go celebrate Sarah #1 at the reception celebrating her successful Dissertation Defense!

I posted this on fb:

I love to celebrate my students accomplishments on and off the piano bench. Last week I had the honor of attending a reception after Sarah #1 had her Dissertation Defense. That's right! She is now Dr. Sarah #1!!!!!!!
I cannot put into words how proud I am of this exceptional woman! Sarah has really become a part of not just the Music From the Heart Family, but of my personal family as well, over the years. After I found out that her family was too far away for her to visit at Thanksgiving, she has been a part of our small families Thanksgiving and Easter celebrations for the years that she has been here at Purdue.
I'm not entirely sure what we are going to do this Thanksgiving without Sarah, Her BF, and her cute dog Brady Bartholomew. We will miss her family's special potato recipe, and the laughter and stories that we have shared.
But we are SO SO Proud of her, and we know that she is going to excel at her next adventure in Maryland!
Congrats Dr Sarah #1!!!!!!!!!!


We did not plan our outfits to match, we are just that cool!
Dr Sarah with her board! Their office does a white board for each Doctoral student that has their loves on it and incorporates things from their dissertation. I can't speak to what they drew, BUT when I arrived, she was not back yet. So I got to help out and draw some music related things on her board! 

Sunday was church and a rainy day. We had a great sermon on worship, I took four pages of notes, which tells you how good it was. I spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning organizing and reading!

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
