HI.
I am alive.
Long time no post.....
Just wanted to share the awesome deal I got on these two J Crew Factory vests.
$49 each! What a steal. Head on over to their site asap, everything is 50% off.
How cute are these mint and red vests. Holiday colors if you will?

Cancer SUCKS

Just learned my grandpa was diagnosed with lung cancer. He had a biopsy done today to find out what stage it is. He has tumors in both lungs, one pushing up against his heart. Wondering how long he has had this pain and his symptoms. Thinking he didn't get it checked out sooner because my step-nana was sick for a while and passed earlier this year.
Prayers please.
Hoping it's not in a late stage, that there are treatment options, and that he stops smoking.

DO NOT EVER SMOKE PEOPLE.

Chicago Trip Re-cap

Would you believe it....I am blogging? Say whattttt?

Hi.

Back in May myself, Andrew, and my parents took a weekend trip to Chicago. It was my first time there and we did lots of touristy things. We stayed outside of the city, rode the L train, did LOTS of walking, shopped, hit lost of main spots, watched a cubs game, a more. 

I would love to go back soon to hit up some stuff we didn't get to do, due to lack of time/things being too busy aka the aquarium, the zoo, architecture tour....to name a few.

I shall now leave you with pictures.

If you haven't been to Chicago before, you definitely need to check it out. 

Have you ever been? What is your favorite thing? 

He is ALIVE!

Found Here



HE is risen, indeed!
Happy Easter! May you be surrounded by his love, your loved ones, and have a great day.

Prayers Please

My Nana is going into hospice today. She is expected to only live a week or two longer. :( Your prayers and positive thoughts are appreciated. Thank you.


p.s. I will be back with a life update soon. I am the worlds worst blogger.

Still Here

What's this you're reading?? Why yes, I am still here. Been busy with nothing too exciting.

Celebrated the holidays with loved ones.
Had bronchitis last month. Boo.
Andrew went to Mexico with out me....for a week. Boo.
He and I finished watching Dexter....I miss it already.
Made a bunch of peanut butter blossom cookies- obsessed with them.
Started to save for my trip to Chicago in May!!
Used some holiday money and gift cards to get a scrap booking bag and Cards Against Humanity.
Tracked down a bottle of the rare Crown Town Ale by Boulevard. It was a limited edition brew. I had to have someone pull a few strings to get me that bottle you see below.
Attended at my work holiday party.
Any recommendations on where to go, what to do, what to eat, and see while in Chicago? Oh and where to stay too!
And now I shall leave you with pictures. Until next time....who knows when that will be. I lead a boring life.

Life Update

Well hello there. Thought I would stop in and share the latest instagram pics and give y'all a little update.
Honestly I suck at this whole blogging thing.

LOVE T Swift's new album. Honestly I was beginning to get tired of her older songs and only signing about the same shit over and over again. This album is refreshing to hear, and catchy. I dig it. :)

Andrew and I out celebrating a friend's birthday. My hair looks pretty awesome if I do say so myself. It never wants to stay that straight usually due to weather. Went to piano bar for the first time, it was a pretty good time. Let's just say I will be getting the fish bowl for myself next time.

SO incase you haven't been to Target in the last few days....TOMS came out with a collection specifically for Target. Bought this cozy blanket. 

A and I recently attended a bonfire hosted by our church. It was crazy warm to stand by, but was really chilly out, so the warmth was very much welcomed. We all stood around the fire eating smores and singing praise songs. It was a good time indeed.

Lately I've just been working and Andrew and I spend most nights watching Dexter on netflix or hanging out with friends/family.

I've recently decided to finish up/return to watching Gilmore Girls, now that it is on netflix...hello easy access. While the show was actually on TV at one point, I lost interest in the show. So I figured I would finish it up. Staring with Season 5 to end. Granted I am only like 3 episodes into season 5 to start playing catch up, but it's a start. Excited to see how it all ended up. 

Christmas list making and shopping are going to need to take place asap. We are doing secret santa at work this year, everyone is excited for it. (My idea, woot.) We drew names today. I need to make up a list for my parents. I learned that if I don't make a list, I will get storage containers....for sewing items. YEAH.....

I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving, the food, family time, the great messages at church. ALSO having the day after Turkey day OFF WORK. A sweet lady has agreed to cover my desk while I take a day off. She is returning a favor to me when I covered for her for 4 days this year while she was on vacation. Gotta start planning the day after. Sleep in, hit up the gym, and some shops. Maybe catch a movie. 

What have you been up to lately? Any special plans for Thanksgiving?
