W-2?

2009-04-06T14:55:00.002-04:00

This is a glimpse of my day:

This is me on the phone with the IRS...I got this crazy W-2 from a company I've never heard of...turns out. I worked there...for reals.

Company changed names. At the point in which this pic was taken I was frustrated because I didn't know what was going on.

P.S. my bangs don't actually look like that. I don't know what's going on.

I love this PostSecret

2009-03-23T21:50:00.005-04:00

I definitely don't read PostSecret as much as I have in the past but when I read this one this week I definitely felt like I could relate.

I love my friends. I started a new lifegroup with some girls that I became close with on the Mexico spring break trip and now I'm so excited about them! Can't wait to dig into the bible more with them :)

I created a list of 25 random things about me...it was a good list...and when I went to post it didn't work...it's gone...I am sad and angry. I will get over it. Just give me 5 minutes.

I'm a wife

2009-01-25T18:20:00.002-05:00

Hi everyone! Sorry it's been so long...we just got the internets and we were on our honeymoon and I just haven't been able to update.

So, I'm married! It rocks! I like it :)

I'm learning how to cook better and that's a lot of fun. We're getting our place all put together and whatnot so we've been busy with that.

For a wedding gift our wedding party chipped in and bought us a Wii and we love it...actually we had some extra gift card money for target so we bought guitar hero world tour as well. It's awesome!

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon and it was a lot of fun! About half way through I got really sick and was sort of in bed for about half of the trip. It was a total bummer but that's okay because we still had a blast! I'll post pictures soon.

p.s. just because we're married doesn't mean we don't wanna hang out with people anymore...I would love to hang with people...call me and I'll call you!

Our First Dance

2008-12-30T07:38:00.002-05:00

Troy and I decided last night what song we're dancing to for our first dance at the wedding...this FRIDAY!

This song is a tad big cheesy but the words are great and it will be totally fun to dance to!

Marriage Apartment

2008-12-29T08:45:00.002-05:00

Hey Guys!

Wow! I've been super busy! On Saturday Troy and I started moving everything into our new apartment. Troy's already living there and I'm in the process of slowly taking things over there and settling in. This week is totally nuts! I can't wait to be done.

I get to go to Hawaii next week. I'm so excited. The only time I've ever been able to leave here when it's cold to go somewhere warm is on the Florida Spring Break trips...but, even then it's not bitter cold in Michigan. I seriously cannot wait. I'll post pictures later!

Oh more info about our new apartment...it's smells like poopy! It's pretty bad and we have to do a lot of cleaning still. Get the stink out of our carpets and stuff. Please pray for us as we're doing that...we will need it.

Thank you to all of the people that helped us move in on Saturday...you guys rocked!

I'm out!

Christmas rocked this year

2008-12-26T07:36:00.000-05:00

I'm so thankful for my Christmas this year. On Christmas Eve we (Troy and I) went to Midland to hang out with his family. At first it was just the immediate family opening gifts together. I loved it. We had a good time...then some of the grandparents came over for dinner and more gifts. I had such a good time with the Wallace family. I also noticed an ornament on the tree with my name on it. His parents got it from Frankenmuth this year and put it on their tree. It was so sweet and made me feel so good. I loved it.

Christmas morning we woke up at Troy's parents house and we exchanged gifts between us and his parents and his mom made the most delicious breakfast ever. Eggs benedict and hash brown type things.

We spent most of Christmas day in Holt with my family. Opening gifts and playing games. Sam and Holly came over to play games last night and we had a lot of fun.

Christmas rocked this year and I am thankful for my family and this time to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

Wow! This year was totally better than last year

+I got to go to Frankenmuth
+I'm the proud owner of white converse all stars with black and silver accents
