Movin' On Up

Well the time is approaching ever so quickly for me to move into my new townhouse. A little quicker than I had anticipated as last week I got a call from the complex wanting to know if I could move in sooner than my anticipated July 27'th moving date. So now I am getting my keys on JUNE 29'th and having the great move the following day, June 30'th.

I am excited to be in my place quicker, (especially since I woke up at 4 am to the smell of Sewage coming from my shower) but my planner control freak inside of me is FREAKING OUT!!! at the loss of a month to plan and pack.

Not to mention I am really wanting to get some new furniture, especially a new Queen Sized bed, so I'm slightly scrambling to look at my budget again and figure out when I can buy things for my new place. 

The top three items are 1.Queen Bed, 2. Armoire Entertainment Center and 3. Dark wood Coffee Table. OH! And I can't forget a Washer and Dryer! ACK!

My parents are giving me end tables they have in their attic that apparently my dad's parents had made for them when they got married. I'm HOPING to steal their living room couch and love seat as I am deeply in love with them, and my Mom wants a new set.  

So the furniture hunt is officially on and I am almost officially freaking out at moving in two months. I am SO not looking forward to carrying everything down two flights of stairs. BUT I will be ever so thrilled to not have to schlep groceries and other items UP two flights of stairs. Really someone should have slapped some sense into me when I moved up to the third floor.


I also have to get used to living on a complete opposite end of town than I have ever lived! I have always lived on the South Side of town for the past 9 years I have been here. Now I will live on the North/East side. It will be nice to live alot closer to the interstate, it will make going home to the farm so much easier, and easier for my parents to visit me while they are in town. But I am mourning having to switch Payless stores and pharmacies. I know, I know. Crazy. But when you've went to the same one for years on end one gets a little attached.

Have you looked into any 'Buy/Sell/Trade' groups on Facebook in your area? There three just in my small area, and people are ALWAYS posting cheep things on there...beds, furniture, appliaces, and clothes.

Also, I highly recommend frecycle.org! I have scored a few things from there. Good luck!

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...

Book Review: The moments you were mine by LJ Evans

  Once again I was lucky enough to be on the ARC team for another book by LJ Evans. Since I have discovered LJ she has become one of my top 5 must read authors. LJ’s books are like Christmas Day. Or your birthday if you’re like me and obnoxiously celebrate both. :) You count down the days until it happens with great expectation and excitement and then it gets there and you almost don’t want it to be there because then it will be over and you have to wait another 364 days for the magic to come by again. Thankfully for all of us LJ writes more than one book a year so we are all #blessed in that aspect. I’m always super excited to get and read her books, but it’s a mixed feeling of not wanting to start reading it because then it will be over, and I can’t wait to read it and see what happens. Oh the struggle of being a book lover! I had some FEELINGS over Parker and Fallon. I felt like they were real people and at several points I wished they were real people so I could take t...

Life in Phone Pics

 Can I just say how much I appreciate the fact that my new phone takes so much better pictures than my old one?! I have been using my phone for almost all of my pics! And bonus, no purple hair! Above is a new dessert I made. A Smores Cookie Bar. It was yummy. I had some and then realized I would eat the entire thing if I kept it. So I gave 90% of it away to my students. This just cracked me up. Last weekend when I was elevating my feet I obviously had the lights off and yet my toes were so neon pink that you could still see them in the darkness!  My toes weren't the only thing pink on my body. My sunburn was of an epic proportion. now it has started to peel. Everywhere. Even my arms. yuck. I'll spare you from that! Oh well, at least my hair looked cute here!  Yes, I am really showing you a picture of my cabinet. Last night I decided to totally move all but one of my cabinets. Erm. or rather the insides of them. My dishes and glasses used to be in th...
