So last night my best friend and I decided to go shopping at midnight on thanksgiving... ahhhh! We drove to Michigan City and got some deals but it was crazy! We got back to south bend around three in the morning and shopped until eight...

Shout Out...

this is a shout out to aaron bradshaw

...and to the "jagged edges of death"

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart and lean not on your OWN understanding;

in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your path.

Jeremiah 29:11-13

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord,

"plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.

Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with ALL your heart."

So we went to Josh's wedding this weekend and totally forget that I brought my camera... whoops! This is the only picture we took the ENTIRE night.

I am so blessed...

Hello everyone.. things have been sooooo crazy in my life these past few weeks. I spent a weekend in Indy with my family and then a weekend in Chicago with Car. Fun Fun!!!! October was a great month. I hit all of my favorites... IKEA, O'HARE, & Ruby Tuesday!!! I am so blessed. I was also able to get my heated seats fixed in my jeep, now my life is complete :) (I am so LAME!) Along with these many blessings came some scary times... This past month I have started a new job {STRESS}. Last Thursday my family had to go to court over my grandparents, my uncle broke his neck and my best friend was in a car accident. Everything is great now, it was just kind of CRAZY for awhile there. Thank you EVERYONE for your prayers. In the middle of all of this I've decided to get my securities license {ahhhhh!!!} I am such a dork! Anyway, this is so random, i've been thinking lately about how truly blessed I am!! I have no reason not to wake up happy!! So when I start complaining about the little things smack me upside the head ;)

Chicago

So I went to Chicago last weekend and spent sometime with Car and Mo...

Car and I spent Christmas at Ikea...

We spent a lot of time in her apartment putting everything together...

Lets be honest... I didn't help at all ;)

So last week I had to travel to Milwaukee for business and I decided that I would have my company pay for me to fly instead of driving the 4 hour drive. BIG MISTAKE!!!! My flight was supposed to leave South Bend at 6:30 on Monday night... we didn't fly out until 9:30. So I missed my connection in Chicago, and my 2 hour lay-over in O'Hare ;( I had to fly standby to Milwaukee and finally got there at 2:00AM Oh yeah, I got there at 2 but my luggage didn't arrive for another 12 hours. So I was there all day Tuesday and I was supposed to fly out at 7:30 Wednesday night. That didn't happen.

Needless to say, drive... don't fly.
