Christmas time is the most wonderful time of the year in my book! I love all the wonderful traditions between family and friends. This year I enjoyed a new tradition – Ugly Sweater Party! Thank you NicciJames for opening up your home so we could enjoy this crazy holiday tradition!
I’m not sure why this made me laugh so much but it did! Enjoy!
So here’s my story.
November 16th was a great day for me and my family. Around 11:30am my family got a phone call that my brother and sister-in-law would be making their way to the hospital and we should join them for the arrival of my niece! We were very excited to say the least.
I decided to drive separately from my parents so we could have an extra car if necessary. Because I was excited to get to OKC before my niece was born – I decided to set my cruise control so I wouldn’t get pulled over for speeding. Everything was going great.
The sky was clear. The highway was deserted. All was well. Or so I thought.
About an hour into my journey I noticed a police car pull off the shoulder and merge onto the highway. I looked to make sure my cruise was set just in case. He pulled behind me and followed for a few miles. Then I thought “maybe he wants the fast lane to himself so I’ll pull over to the right.” I did everything a good driver should do. I signaled well in advance and kindly switched lanes. Hmmm – the officer switched lanes too. What on earth was going on?
Next thing I know his lights were flashing. I pulled onto the shoulder and awaited my fate.
The officer was very kind and asked me to join him in his police car. He asked if I knew why he pulled me over and honestly I had no clue. Long story short…apparently my cruise control reads 5mph UNDER the speed limit. He gave me a written warning and stated that “If I want to drive slower than the speed limit than I should stay in the right lane.” Really?! I was trying not to get pulled over for speeding and here I am in the officers car because I was going too slow! That’s never happened before! Nevertheless – the officer was very kind and congratulated me on becoming a first-time aunt.
At least I’ll have a comical story to tell my niece one day!
It’s finally here! Friday night was the first night I got to spend in my own home! I am so very excited about being a homeowner and establishing my own life! The house is looking great but there is still so much more to do as far as cleaning and unpacking! I promise I will be posting before and after pics soon!
I know that it’s been a while since I’ve posted an update on my journey to home ownership! So here we go…
I have received the official time and date for my closing! I will close on my house tomorrow afternoon at 1pm! I am so excited and ready to take this next step in my adult life! I will be posting pictures and keeping everyone updated on all the changes that will be happening with my house. There’s a lot of work to do before I move in but it’s going to be fun to say the least!
This has been a long and interesting 60 days but it’s finally time to get the keys to my new home! Thank you Jesus!
I don’t know why, but this makes me laugh hysterically every time! The two ladies at the end are the best!!!
The quality is not so great but it’s still funny! Enjoy!
Last night I had the amazing opportunity to partake in an indescribably powerful worship experience. Hillsong United performed at the Spirit Bank Center here in Tulsa and my friends and I scored some awesome seats!
I don’t have the words to express what took place last night, so the pictures will have to do for now…
I can’t begin to describe my elation for the upcoming Hillsong United concert here in Tulsa, OK on August 26th at the Spirit Bank Center!!! My co-workers and I were able to take advantage of the “pre-sale” today and tickets go onsale to the general public tomorrow morning. I’m not going to lie – we got some pretty amazing seats at a great price!
This will be my first time to see Hillsong United live and I can’t tell you how long I’ve been waiting for this. This is going to be the experience of a lifetime!!! Be sure to get your tickets here!!!
