48/52


 Whew! Last week was a WEEK!! But I made it through and I'm quite happy to be on the other side!

Monday was super busy because it was the day before the recital! 9 lessons, and all the last minute plan for the worst prep. Tuesday dawned COLD and windy and SNOWY. Ugh. It was not ideal weather, but thankfully it didn't get terrible. I snapped this selfie in the parking lot at TSC waiting for Jboz and Bethanne to meet me so we could all carpool together.
 That is one happy and now relaxed teacher!! I was starving by this point! HA! Jboz was my assistant for the 3'rd I think year in a row and once again I don't know what I would do without her!!
 And my sweet sweet Bethanne! She is a senior this year and while I hope and pray this isn't her last year as our photographer, I thought it would be appropriate to do something special to acknowledge her. So Jboz and I put our heads together and did some sneaking around :) We managed to sneak in a bouquet of flowers, in one of my bags, while riding in the same vehicle as B.. Man I was sweating it! I also had a speech prepared, and I had to check about 9 times to make sure I had left it off of B's version of the program notes.  But we pulled it off!!!! And it was one of the best moments of the night!
 We finished up at the recital site and then swung by Bick Creek Pizza to pick up our dinner that I had ordered ahead. We were a little late, but the pizza had cooled down to the perfect temp where we could eat it without burning our mouths!! I had one piece while driving and then took B home, and got myself home, put my slippers on, sat down on my couch and sighed a very relieved and happy sigh while I had some more pizza. See again STARVING from barely eating all day from my nerves.
 Wednesday I could have used a day off. I was tired! But Alas, I had students and an Allergy shot to get, so on went my day. It was definitely a glasses day, the day after the recital!
By Thursday afternoon after going to Bible Study in the morning, I just wanted to be cozy. So I had some hot apple cider in my Christmas mug as I taught.

Friday was AMAZING. I slept 13!!!!! hours and then had nowhere to be, noone to see, ahhh it was wonderful!!

Saturday my parents came by in the afternoon and my Dad was able to clean the part on my furnace that was not working properly. Now my furnace is working great, just in time for more really cold weather.

And that brings us to Sunday! I had to rush out the door to meet someone at church so no picture before church. We had a great service celebrating our two year giving initiative and seeing what God has done with the money that has been given!

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
