I have been a terrible blogger these past few months and I really do enjoy it/ Miss reading everyone's blog.

I promise to be a better blogger starting now :) I've even set it up on my outlook calendar at work so I atleast blog once a week :)

I haven't done one of these in Forever and I forgot how much I enjoy it:)

Head on over to This Kind of Love and link up with Jamie for What I'm Loving Wednesday!

I'm Loving: My new Kindle Fire... So fun. I have been wanting an e-reader forever and the boyfriend  Santa was so greatful to get me one. The problem i'm having is I just bought like 5 new books and I want to read them before putting anything on it hahha!   Please leave comments with any good book recommendations.

I'm Loving: The Show "Once Upon A Time" It just started this year and I have gotten into it. Cannot wait for it to start back up. Also i'm super excited for Pretty Little Liars to be starting up again after the first of the year:)

I'm Loving: In 41 days I will be soaking up the sun in Florida. CAN'T WAIT! I will be Traveling to Florida for 8 days to visit my aunt and her family.

I'm Loving: This awesome new Jewerly rack I recieved from my Mother for Christmas, Now I can actually find stuff and it isn't all tangled up.

This is kind of a crappy picture but its understandable :) And yes that is a towel behind it... drives me crazy how my necklaces bang on the door hahha

Can't wait to See what else everyone is Loving!

Until Next time,

MIA/Lately/home buying

Hello Long lost blogger world! I am still here J and I’ve missed you!!

I know I said I was going to try and be really good and keep up butttt…. I lied SORRY!

But boy have I been busy… I’ve been at my new Job for little over a month now and am finally starting to get the hang of things. I absolutely love it here and I love all the people I work with! But I’m keeping busy that’s for sure starting a new job sure wears you out .. all I want to do is sleep. I’m also starting school back up so that’s been a lot of work as well J and in between all that fun I’m also searching for my dream home. I’ve decided that I no longer want to rent, I’m going to find that perfect house (in my price range hehe), I can’t wait to find something I love, but boy oh boy is it sure stressful!

Anyone have any good tips on first time home buyers?

I have started working with a realtor and this coming week I will be looking at a total of about 10 houses, I’m SO EXCITED! But I keep changing my mind on things I want/love after I look at places… oh well I know that perfect place is out there!

Racing season has began to end for the boy so it’s been a weekends filled with fun stuff together. Including my favorite part about the fall IOWA FOOTBALL J Last weekend we spent Saturday Tailgating early and ending the Day with a Hawkeye victory it was a wonderful day started off a little chilly but ended amazing! We are hoping to get to go to a couple other games this season (fingers crossed)

We had awesome seats at the game

A couple weekends ago Danny Attended the NASCAR at Chicagoland and took my brother Jason with him. They had a wonderful time except… it rained L the race was delayed until Monday Danny still attended but Jason had to watch it from home, from what I heard they had a wonderful time.

Have I said that I LOVE Fall weather, it’s my favorite time of the year I LOVE everything about it. Leaves changing..

Haunted Houses..

Perfect Weather..

Pumpkin EVERYTHING J

Football

Honeycrisp apples

Apple Cider J

Speaking of Apple Cider my mom makes the BEST apple cider I’ve been taking it in place of coffee every morning this week check out the recipe below its wonderful and easy!

 1 container of 100% Cranberry Juice

3/4 Containter of Apple Juice

1 cup of sugar

4 cinnamon sticks

Let cook on stove for about an hour on low

ENJOY

What’s your favorite part about fall?

Well Until time time… hope its not forever again

XOXO

The rest of my day will consit of cleaning and packing my overnight bag to go stay with the boy.

MY  BROTHER will be arriving shortly in IOWA can't wait! I love when they come home. Tonight we are going to go watch Danny race, I've never watched him race before makes me alittle nervous but it'll be fine.. I'll just cover my eyes and tell him I saw it ;)

(Danny racing, they race these little clown cars that are actually really fast, kinda scary haha)

I'm hoping this weekend to go see Friends With Benefits, I usually don't like going to the movie theater but I haven't been to one in awhile and really wanna see this movie!

Life NOT in the fast lane

Okay okay I know i've been an AWFUL blogger lately! But i'm going to try really hard to get back in the swing of things especially now that I have all this free time.
As of right now I am currently unemployed... I had quit my job because it just wasn't working out I was too stressed and feeling sick to my stomach all the time, I'm only 21 and I don't think I should have a job like that, so i'm currently on the look for something new. Also I am finishing up with an online class then taking a break from school until October which is when the new online term starts so I will have some free time on my hands until then.
Some of you are probably thinking "WOW i wish I had that much free time" HAHA well in some ways its not as great as you think! I'm going stir crazy you can only watch The Food Network and re-runs of Sex in the City so much until you wanna die! I've been doing lots of cleaning around the house and trying to find stupid little projects to finish. But being unemployed also has its ups, I do LOVE being able to do whatever i want whenever I want. I've been planning lots of things to do as well as doing lots of fun things...
Last Friday night me and my sister went to the Lady A Concert at the a Local Fair and it was a BLAST until it started pouring... check us out after the concert, so cold we went home and put on sweat pants and sweatshirts to get warm hahah but it was well worth it! :)

Also Next week my brother, sister-in-law and my wonderful Niece will be in town for awhile so I can't wait to spend a few days with her and Give her some lovin...

Some friends of mine have started  buiness here and the Doing a DJ service and a photography service they have been doing really well and asked me and danny if they could shoot some photos of us for their website and we agreed, love helping friends out. Check out the sneak peek she sent me... they are wonderful I love them she does such a good job for someone who JUST started!

I can't wait to see the rest :) Thank you Allison and George!

On a couple of other side notes ( HAHA I have lots to catch everyone up on) On July 11th around 5:15am an awful Wind storm hit my home town we had winds up to 135 mph taking down about 1 in 3 trees here. We were down in the basement for about 20 mins and I just kept praying that our house was still there and thankfully it was! Everyone was safe and not to major of damage just A LOT of small damage to home but probaby the biggest damage was to the place my mother had just retired from she had worked there for 34 years Check out the pictures below :(  not a fun time!

 Trees down in our backyard

 The wind had blown that little garage in the middle of the road

 The Braille School where my mom worked.. the Copper roof completely torn off :( so sad!

 Our front porch

Tree blocking us in the get in the drive way

Things are finally getting cleaned up around town they said about 40% is now cleaned up and thankfully we all have power we were without power for 8 days and had a heat advisory out as well... let me tell you I had to go somewhere else to stay it was WAY to hot!

Well I hope ya'll enjoyed my update and I can't wait to catch up on all my blogs

Until Next time

XOXOX
