It has been extremely crazy around here. There is literally no food in my house. The only food is a pizza my dad graciously got for us, because there was no food. We were supposed to fully move today, but the rain, and my sister's headache hindered that. Oh, well.

 

Today we had a graveside service for my cousin's little baby. It is such a tragic story; she was due in two weeks, but the umbilical chord got noted  up and suffocated her. Precious Savannah Joy was so beautiful, and looked just like her mom. Pray for comfort for the parents and the other siblings.

 

Another big day tomorrow, and I need my rest.

~In Loving Memory Of Savannah Joy~

Well, it has been an extremely busy weekend. Yesterday, I went on a hayride to get pumpkins with my boyfriend's family, since his brother was in town. We had a blast picking out the perfect pumpkins, and getting them back to the house. Thankfully, we were right next door to the pumpkin patch. :) I am not the most creative pumpkin carver; I have never really had time, or thought deeply about carving pumpkins, but let me tell you, his family gets into it. His brother who was in town carved the Detroit Tigers 'D' into his pumpkin, and it looks amazing. They also did a Thomas the train pumpkin for his nephews. My pumpkin is a plain looking heart; I am soooo creative. (NOT!)

I'll have to think of something amazing for next year.

 

So yesterday I also had a college function in the evening. We went to another church, and helped out with a teen activity. It was a blast, and I came home with lots of candy and a two-liter of Code Red Mountain Dew, which is by far, the best pop ever. The ride to the activity was quite interesting though...... lets just say, when State fans and Michigan fans ride together in a van, fights may be possible.

 

So I am sooooo excited that my dad and sister are finally home from up north. It is good to have them back, and now we can finish moving into our new house. This week we plan to move in completely, but we will see how everything goes.

 

Today my whole family went to see my boyfriend's brother because he had to leave today. It is really nice to spend some time with him, because we only see him once or twice a year now. :( He is really a great guy, and I can't wait for him to find a special someone who will appreciate how great he is.

 

Be appreciative of all that our military does, and support them. They are fighting daily for the small freedoms and privileges that we take for granted.

Well, mid-terms are over!!!!! I am so happy, it is finally over; I did well on all of my test, and I feel pretty confident about my paper as well. So it has been crazy busy around here with the moving, school, and work.

 

Great news! My boyfriend's brother who is in the army came home from North Carolina today. He really wanted to see the World Series Game, so he, my boyfriend, their brother, and dad are going to the game tomorrow night. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity,and I am so excited for them.

 

Go Tigers!!!!!

I think I am officially over this illness. My nose still runs away from me at times, but I feel tons better. It would help though if I got maybe 24 hours of solid sleep. :)

Last Friday, we found out that a missionary from our church died from malaria. She and her husband just left for Zambia in May of this year. They did a great work there, and everyone called her "mother". She was such a sweet lady, and will be missed greatly; but I know I will see her again someday. Her husband is planning to continue on in Africa to minister to the people after he recovers from malaria also.

I am sooooooooooooooo excited for the World Series!!!! Go Tigers! I really think we have a shot this year. We haven't won the World Series in twenty five years, and this is our year.

Totally unrelated side note, have you ever played "Banana-grams" ? Check it out; it is so amazing. I have played it before, but my amazing boyfriend bought it for me for Sweetest Day, and I am soooo happy.

Well, my day off work, didn't really get me out of work. After I got out of school, and finished my piano lessons, I went to our ACE school to help with some of the book reports. I enjoy English, and I need the practice. Of course, once I got home, my mom put me to work packing. We did fill up the Tahoe and took everything to the new house. One of mom's friends came over and we got everything unpacked and put away.

 

I also got some adorable curtains for my room. :) They are turquoise and sheer, and they are going to match my quilt perfectly. I love decorating so much!!!!! I can't wait to do the rest of the house.

Six years ago today was one of the happiest days of my life. It was the day my amazing boyfriend became my amazing boyfriend. Happy Anniversary sweetheart!

 

Today was pretty relaxing; mom and I did go over to the new house to unpack some more things. We also ate out at a Chinese restaurant which was amazing! I am absolutely in love with won ton soup, so, so much in love. I could eat it every day!

 

On a side note, I don't have to go to work tomorrow night, and I am so excited. Unfortunately, I don't have to go to work, but my mom is putting me to work at the house. YEAH! (not) Oh, well, I'll get over it.

 

Happy Monday!

Happy Sweetest Day!!! I hope everyone had a wonderful day. This morning I got up and worked on my cake for the auction, and started my salad for the pig roast. The cake took a while because I like to freeze it between frosting. It also helps if I make a mistake, it comes off easier.

The pig roast was good, It wasn't to cold, and the fire helped. We had our cake auction, and my boyfriend embarrassed me by buying my cake. I love him for it though, he is the best in the whole world. :)

Our dinner with friends went well also. Mexican food is one of my favorites!! I am about to go get some of my leftovers right now, I am sooo hungry.

Have a great rest of your weekend.
