In the midst of having to graduate very soon FRIDAY!!! work, and life and just be chaos and busyness around, it's so nice to just relax and not have to do anything but reflect on life it's so nice to have those days!
I got to sleep in and just reflect have alone time with the Lord. My meeting with Jen Forsthoff just really brought some more of my thoughts to light about what God is working in me and my closest friends and family. I just love to share with those closest to me and know I have accountability. We ran to the gas station and got some drinks I got a slush but it ended up tasting salty I should of stuck with the icee...haha. I got to see baby Charlie for a bit I hadn't seen her in weeks! Such a precious girl! She just makes me smile when I see her little face :D <3
All in all great day!

Blogrimage Challenge Day 10/30 BWW
Hey friends,
So my new friend Paul Silvestri saw my blog on our 30 Day blogrimage friends and co-worker of Micha Webner. He messaged me and decided to set something up that worked with our schedule. We set out to meet at Buffalo Wild Wings in Novi, one of his favorite places.
I learned a lot about Paul and he is a Senior at Eastern Michigan Universtiy studying Technology Management. He works with Micha at Henry Ford Community College. I asked him why he decided to do what he does and he just loves computers and wanted to pursue a career in that. Web developing is no joke. I told him one day when my small business is in order I would need to hire someone who knows what they are doing because it is super hard and complicated to me especially to be customized and get the feel and style I want.
We talked about school, work, church, and family. I was so hungry because I skipped lunch so it was funny because I finished my meal before he did!!! I'm usually a slow eater but I was sooo hungry hahaha. We laughed because he told me story of a girl who had gone out to eat with him and she was upset that he finished before her so yeah funny...
Anyway dinner was great and the sun was still shining. So I was sitting in the booth behind a family who had like four kids and the mom and dad. I was wondering who kept hitting the seat behind me with their feet (I kept hearing a thumping noise). It was a little annoying at first but I didn't let it bother me. Anyway right before we left the kids started to sing Happy Birthday to their dad and I looked back and smiled with the little girls it was great way to end the night I wanted to clap and cheer with them. Hahaha one of their little boys started shouting "Are you 1, are you 2," etc. haha so cute.
It was fun I thanked Paul for my filling meal.

Blogrimage Challenge Day 9/30 iiwii
Okay so Tuesday on March 12th 2013 I did not have a date set. I don't know what you all think but for me it was a good thing.
I realize how much goes into this and it is a lot of work, and can be stressful but because I decided to not make it a priority I'm not gonna kill myself to go on dates. :) I am absolutely trying and I failed already to meet the actual goal but again it's not a big deal.
I am asking my friends from church and school to set me up and if it works out then cool if not then okay too :D "iiwii" It is what it is. I don't really want to control it in the sense that I don't like asking guys out it is uncomfortable and that is where I draw the line.
This is meant to be a fun, crazy, and adventurous blog and I'm just gonna go with the flow. I really like that I have gotten to meet new people, learn something and catch up with old friends.
My Tuesday night ended in the best way any how! I got to hear Dominic and Lindsay Russo speak at Momentum at Cornerstone Church in Highland!!! It's an 18+ God party and am surrounded by awesome people who I love and am glad to serve alongside of.
It was a GREAT message on a relationship series that was ended in February but because of a winter storm was rescheduled. I really learned a lot Dominic talked to the guys 5 things girls look for in a guy and Lindsay to the girls things that we should do be Godly women and if we are with the right guy who will be our husbands ways that we should be as well to honor God and our future spouses.
Follow up for more there are a few dates this week and just am looking for more dates let me know set me up hahaha...

Blogrimage Challenge Day 7/30 Starbucks
Hi again!
So I was able to go out after a busy weekend with my family and meet up with Ben foreman. We met up at Starbucks coffee in Milford. I got to order their new hazelnut specialty drink and Ben ordered an apple cider his usual (says he's not huge coffee buff too many to choose from haha). Let me tell you our guy who took the order had no smile on his face and I tried to be nice but he didn't seem to care. I just laughed.
So we got to talking about our life and how the Lord is just leading us in the place that we need to be now. And for some reason I felt super chatty but Ben was a great listener. (sorry Ben). We talked about me moving on to a new place in Denver, CO!! Thrive Church baby!! hahaha. Just the fight I have been dealing with spiritually, emotionally and physically but God is totally preparing me!
I got to ask him more about him and his family and their relationship. Ben is the youngest of 5 (I hope that's right) well he has a pretty decent family and lots of nieces and nephews. I asked him about what he had been doing besides going to Momentum and he had gone through an internship at another church which is great. (kind of like the IMA).
It was good friend time at Starbucks and my drink was great got to use my lens mug that I got for Christmas!
Sorry again no photo :/ I keep forgetting
Untill next time!

Blogrimage Challenge Day 6/30 Brotherly Sisterly Love
Hey friends,
I hung out with some of the most important guys in my life my DAD and my younger BROTHER Andrew! He just turned 20 and I wanted to surprise him with a cake and I also had to be in town for a child dedication friend of the family (very important to be there :))
It was a quick trip. I went home Saturday afternoon. I arrived home to see my dad working on his car with one of his best freinds Barney. I gave him a big hug and went inside. My brother Andrew came down and said hi and hugged me too!! :D xoxox lil bro! I took my brother to get him lunch (he and his cousin had work) Andrew payed for it, his little ceasars pizza (yuck...hahaha). I dropped him off for work and went home to bake a family favorite cake just for him. My dad and I got to spend time together went to the store and also to get his haircut! (I didn't realize his hair got so long till he buzzed most of it off). My dad likes his hair short.
I got to baking and watching some ABCFamily movies while my dad rested, he had worked most of the day too. I got the cake ready took a few hours cause it had to cool before I put the cool whip on it. I told my dad I had to go pick up Andrew and my cousin JR from work to have the candles lit when we pulled in. Needless to say he wasn't quite ready when we walked in (only about 10 more candles needed lighting) So as my brother Andrew saw his cake I'm glad he smiled and waited to blow out his 20 birthday candles! I told him his birthday present will come in the mail! I made his favorite pasta alfredo with chicken for a late dinner.
We went to church Sunday morning and my dad made me french toast for breakfast! It was great few hours I got to spend! I love them so much! Best date ever!

Blogrimage Challenge Day 5/30 MJR
Alright let me start off by saying that I made the plan to go see a movie becuase Jessica and Jack Kerr invited me along with Sarah Lukacs :D
So through various text and hearing about my blog Ellie Nickerson told me she had a date for me. It was her brother Drew Nickerson. It was not set at all untill just Thursday night. It was a bit of a close call.
We went with a group to see The Great and Powerful Oz starring James Franco. Just came out March 8th.
So I got in contact with Drew and we set the plans (good thing I had an idea of what I wanted to do hahaha). We met up at the Highland liquor store to carpool to the MJR theatre in Waterford. So he introduced himself to me with a handshake as we left to MJR. On the way he asked me how I met his sister and family, about school, and talked a little bit about cars. Of course I asked him about how his day was and where he worked. I might have to go to the chinese restaurant he works at as a server! I love chinese and I told him I loved my old serving job.
We thought it might be packed so we left around 5:45pm the movie started at 6:45pm. (he was just getting back from getting his tire fixed and oil change which is totally fine he called right away to say he would be late). I killed the time by cleaning and vacumming my car out at the Citgo gas staion next door hahaha.
We got to the theatre there were probably about 5 people actually standing in line to wait hahaha not as popular as I thought. He bought the tickets and got our 3D glasses and we waited for the Kerr Family and Sarah to meet us. We got to talk a bit more waiting for the doors to open and find our seats.
We got along great and the theatre ended up being packed and we had great seats. The movie I personally was good, family funny and friendly. Got to finding out during the previews Robert Downing Jr. is one of his favorite actors (man crush...hahaha...he said it :) But he is a good actor!
So by the end Sarah had gotten Drew to agree to be a part of her blog too if she would let her slap him in the face. He agreed and so did Jack's grandpa!!! You guys need to watch it on Sarah's video blog! We made a story plot where Drew was talking to me and Sarah taps him on the shoulder and just slaps him! And Jacks grandpa was totally funny he was holding his wife's purse while she went to the bathroom and Sarah slaps him and he yelled out something like hey you can't do that what did I do? He was kidding hahaha and we didn't realize he was holding his wifes purse untill after so the nhe said oh I guess I do look like the bad guy....hahaha, Jack, Jess, Sarah, Drew and I had a great laugh!
Well Drew dropped me back off at my car and glad he could make it last minute . He was actually debating to not go because one it was blind date and two it was a movie (double negative hahaha I joked with him) But Ellie convinced him and then it was funny because he actually had seen me at Kroger earlier this week too so he tried to remember who I was. It was a a fun time with friends.
It was a good Friday

Blogrimage Challenge Day 4/30 BWWs
Hello
So for my Thurday evening "date" I got to hang out with Eric Kelley. We went out to Buffalo Wild Wings. Had the chicken wrap and was very filling! I actually decided to play a little dumb and ask my waitress if they had BEEF WINGS!!?? What? She said "We have chicken wings, I don't think those exist" Hahahaha I just did it for a laugh and see what she would say, she was a nice lady. I actually didn't think about leaving a tip... (I wasn't the one paying).
On the way to dinner Eric and I talked about life and where The Lord is leading us in our journey's ahead... We carried the conversation over through dinner and on the way home. He also asked me a short version of my testimony... which I don't get very often so I was glad to share it with new purpose in what God has put on my heart in the last year.
He actually asked what I expected out of this and if there were any "special" someones, who I wanted to "date". But in all reality no I didn't expect anything out of this, or anyone specific. I really love just getting to know new people and talk about life and have a good laugh; like a meet and greet is how I explained :)
It was a good chill time at BWW and got to know a little more about who Eric is and how he got into the whole tech, lights, media department. We talked, about life, family, and my big family hahaha... (it's cause my grandma had 7 kids and my great grandma had like 11 or 14 kids, and that's just my moms side) It's always fun to share good ole family stories (made me miss them a lot though!!!!)
He asked what is one of the craziest things I've ever done? If you really want to know I'll tell you in person ;) Eric said his was driving down Ford Rd 140mph a little while back... I thought woah wow that is pretty extreme (he kind of stated it wasn't his proudest moment).
Eric was a great gentlemen open the door and all but it was great getting to know another friend from church and to listen to him talk about what God is doing in his life. Keep it up Eric I'll be praying for you.
Oh and I totally forgot to take a picture ( just to focused on converstaion... and getting to Debbie B. for girls night hahaha jk)
Live, Laugh, Love

Blogrimage Challenge Day 3/30 Crust
Early bird special this morning Rick Lundskow took me to a quaint little pastry shop called Crust they have been in business for a little over 1 year! It was a great place: 104 W Caroline St, Fenton, MI 48430 This place is legit! Ladies I highly recommend it for breakfast or an awesome dessert night with a special someone or if you just love sweets they have a great variety. (it was hard to pick!)
We decided to meet up at 8am! I'm glad I got a good nights sleep... I actually was there at 8:02am and I apologized to Rick but luckily he said it's fine two minutes is not late 20 minutes is late... I thought all is good :)
Neither of us had been there so I asked the lady what sold best? They had a great cinnamon pecan roll of some sort. (I wasn't feeling it) From the moment we walked in I spotted the Shamrock Mint Chocolate Cupcake...I thought it came in a mini chocolate bowl :( but it was just a paper for decoration (I was disappointed... haha) But it tasted great! I believe our cashier said that time is short so why not have a cupcake for breakfast. I thought it's March and green is my favorite color why not? Haha it was a good choice either way. Rick had a raspberry scone. We both had some tea I had a Rainforest spice flavor and his was an African tea flavor.
I just have to say one thing as I got to the place Rick came up to my car door and as soon as I opened the door I thought I am so glad he wasn't standing any closer I wasn't looking and I would have hit him with the door (just a funny thought that ran through my head) it would have been funny just sayin!
Anyway we had a great conversation and talked about our stories how we got to the good ole state of Michigan! We talked a little bit about our phones, family memories/stories.
Ladies Rick loves to cook and I asked him about why/how he got into cooking it's great started off as mom only cooking dinners (that meant making own lunch) but then a family tradition with thanksgiving that meant staying up 24hours to help their mom in the morning and eventually in college he had to cook for himself.
I already new a few things going in because he works at Cornerstone Church in Highland for media/video department. I got to learn a few new things about his story. Very talented and loves what he does and it's for the Lord.
All in all a good way to start off my day and he was a gentlemen opened the door and all.
Okay keep following for more photo and story updates everyday!
