Great Labor Day Weekend!




My mom Judy, Sarah, Jayda and Me


I decided it would be nice to take my mom, sister and niece Jayda to Biddie's Coach House for a Vctorian Tea. We went on Saturday August 30th at 11:00am. It was so relaxing and enjoyable. I just love spending time with my family. This was such an awesome way to do it. After our tea we went to a little shop next door. It was so adorable and they sold the most unique things



































































































Go Bucks!














































Cute little store next door.

Long Weekend Part Two

The race was in Brooklyn Michigan, we stayed in the hotel in Ann Arbor. That was kinda painful but we tried not to think about it and remembered that Ann Arbor is a whore. Go Buckeyes! Here is Mark and Chad getting the cooler ready! Woo hoo it's beer thirty all day at the Nascar Race. I really did not know what to expect. This was my first race ever. We had so much fun. Lots of good people watching and nice cold cooler beer.
One thing I did NOT expect to see was an IV pole and some woman getting an infusion prior to the race. Now you know you are a die hard Nascar fan when you come with your IV. Lol!


Here is one of many example of the peeps at the race. I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted. I call this W.T. (White Trash)


We walked around before the race. There was so much to see. There were all kinds of free offers and seeing all the different race trailers was cool.



Mark and Tammie



Chad and Natalie





So many people!







Here I am listening to the pit crew and the drivers talking.






Picture of the track before the race. Empty now but soon to be a full house.









When the cars came by they were so loud. As they go around the turns tire debris gets on your clothes and skin. Just little pieces, kinda like the size of pepper.









My husband Chad listening to the drivers and pit crew.










Michigan sucks!!
OH---IO
Go Bucks!

Our Long Weekend--Part One

We had a nice long weekend which started out with 3 nights at a cottage in Huron OH.We walked across a very rocky path to get to this lighthouse.


The scenery was beautiful.





This was the full moon that Saturday night we were fishing off the dock.









This is what you saw from the deck at the cottage.















Beautiful sunrise the morning we left. Next off to Michigan for the Nascar race! Yipee!







Awwww beautiful. Part two coming soon.









Our House

Finally some construction we want to see! This is the front of the house so far. Still have a ways to go.

Side view of the house. If you are facing the house this is the left side.


This is actually the same side as above. Just more toward the back.

This is the back of the house. Our great room with a vaulted ceiling. I hope they hurry up bacause I am ready to move in! :o)

Victorian Tea for Lunch Today

I had the most awesome lunch today! Me and a few other nurses went to a cute tea house. What a treat for me, I absolutely loved it.
The atmosphere was great!

Started with a bowl of broccoli cheese soup in this darling heart shaped bowl.



All the hot tea you could ever want. I tried the english teatime, it was very good. I just loved all the china, it was beautiful.


Just a picture of the tea pot we had that held the hot water.




This is what our serving tray looked like. The Victorian tea included: Cup of Soup,Four Fruits, Five savory eats, Three desserts, Freshly baked scones with jam & Devonshire CreamPlenty of hot steaming tea






There were so many unique things to look at.





This was in the bathroom. Too cute.









A unique picture in the bathroom. Those are paper dolls on the frame. I will definitely be doing this again. I know my mom would love this. I plan on taking her the next time she is up to visit.

Started a weight loss journey

So since I have been married I have put on at least 30 pounds. How the heck did I let that happen? Happiness will do that to you. Finally I was fed up and refused to go up a size in clothes. Plus I was feeling like such a slug, not wanting to go anywhere, none of my clothes fit right. Weight Watchers here I come. I am so happy today after my first week and weigh in I lost 6 pounds. I know I won't have this much loss every week but what I way to start. I feel so much better. I just want to stick to it and feel better about myself.

Scrapbooking

As I started the packing process for our future move coming up I came across quite a few of my baby pictures. I just could not stand them being in that ziplock bag anymore. I tried two different photoalbums, regular 4x6 and a magnetic album, I was not happy with either one. Then I though maybe I could scrapbook them. There are soo many cute albums and accessories. After work one day I stopped at Michael's and bought some supplies. Here we go so far I am very happy with how it is turning out.
I am not a fancy scrapbooker or a pro at it. But if I'm happy with it then that's all that matters anyway. Much better than a boring photoalbum I must say!













Still have quite a bit left to do but it's a start!
