Connecticut I've arrived!

Saturday morning two of my friends and I, drove down to Connecticut to meet up with our other friends and went and watched the Yale (smart people school) verses Princeton Football game.

It was awesome but let me tell ya it was freezing!! It felt like I had no pants on and that I was wearing flip flops. It wasn't snowing or anything it was just in the negative degrees (shiver), didn't help that we were sitting in the shade either (not smart). Both teams had a marching band which was really good, one team pulled their pants down (unnecessary).

There were also cheerleaders. I only saw them do one lift, then the girl at the top fell off and that was the end of them doing that (I may have laughed) and they just went back shaking their Pom Poms. There was also a chick that twirled a pole (don't know what that's called maybe pole twirler?) anyway she was absolutely amazing like she threw this pole so high and then would catch it (incredibubble). 

We decided to leave in the 3rd quarter as we were frozen! We went to our friends house where we were staying. She is an Aupair aswell but she has her own cottage next to the family she works for, and she lives on the waterfront (amazing)! We got warm, had dinner, then had a singalong to really old school music (loved it) yes we did get S club 7 out! 

Later that night we went and cruised into the city and had a dance (such fun)! 

Sunday morning we had a cooked breakfast then headed off home. 

Was a great weekend! So cool that I can just head over to another state only half an hour away!

First Halloweeeeeennn

I know Halloween seems like it was ages ago (two weekends ago), but I've been slack on doing new posts every week and thought now would be the best time to tell you about my Halloween. 

Leading up to Halloween has been awesome! All the houses in the neighborhood are done up with skeletons, creepy flying things (pretty scary at night), pumpkins and many more. My kids and I carved our own pumpkins which was disgusting at first because you chop the bottom off, then you have to take out all the insides with YOUR hands. Now I can take guts out of fish with my hands, but this really grossed me out. Mostly because the inside was cold and it was just WEIRD. I felt like I was touching the insides of a person. Like I kept saying to the kids 'oh I've got the liver', ' there's the Lungs' (they didn't appreciate that). I think that also made it worse for me, so I had to get the gloves out (oh yes, smart move).

Once I got carving it was really fun! This is my pumpkin..

It is a volts-wagon. I'm pretty proud of myself, my first carving and it came out perfect (oh happy days)! 

On the actual day of Halloween there were 10 kids over after school and they were all getting ready to go trick or treating (was a madhouse!). When they all left I got ready into my outfit which I was so excited to get all dressed up (I love dress up party's). My 16year old did my makeup, she is an incredible artist!

Then I put my outfit on and I was ready! 

I am Black Swan if you couldn't figure it out. I felt like a ballerina! We were at a party in the city and Hip Hop music would come on and I would try and do ballet to it (don't worry I only did this once), you need to act the part some of the time. Someone actually asked if I could go on pointe (haha no no!). 

And that was the end of my Halloween experience it was fun but wish I could of worn my costume longer. 

The next day I went to Brooklyn with friends from church (Brooklyn is my new obsession). It was freezing that day! We get our nails done which was the worst manicure I've ever had (struggle is real), then we went and got food because I am always hungry. 

I also serve with these girls at church they are amazing! 

Church was great! Me and some of my host team got stuck in a room while Carl Lentz was getting interviewed by ABC tv. We tried getting out but got shushed and told to go back into the room. We were in that room for like two hours so we decided let's take a whole lotta photos. 

These are of course only a few of them but these are my peoples! I love serving with them every Sunday, we also have group chat so during the week we will text encouragements or people text prayer requests and praise reports. We don't just serve together on a Sunday we keep in contact and this makes me feel like they are FAMILY! 

Love y'all to the moon and back
