Con te partirò su navi per mari.


Well, I guess I’m not a blogasaurus. Oh well. Let me pick up where I left off. 

Jacqueline left the Tuesday before last and I was a mess.  I booed to the hooed. It’s crazy how I had never met her or talked to her on the phone and I instantly had a connection with her.  We have so much in common…everything from music, shoes, shopping, foods, views on relationships and even our bad habits. Sadly, I didn’t keep up with what we did on which days but I know we did a lot of shopping and talking.  It was a little hard to communicate at first.  Thank God, my mom was there to translate.  We used my German tutor app and dict.cc quite a bit too. She’s really amazing and I can’t wait to see her again.  She has plans to revisit and spend a year with us. =) Here's an abridged run-down of the activities.

Spent time with our beautiful Oma!
She watched me make my first marshmallow fondant cake.


Went to the river and...
visited the ducks & geese.

Shopped on a weekday before school let out. WIN.
Had some Chinese food.

We went to the lake

Got ice cream!

Played at the Rifle Range!


Yummy Hibachi with the fam!

Waited and waited at Olive Garden.
Acted crazy and ate Lach Gummis - SOOO GOOD.




Headed back to the airport. Tearful day.
She got us friendship necklaces! I'm the owl. :')
Until next time. :'(

Aside from that, I’ve been working…a lot! It’s been carrying over at home.  I don’t feel so good about that.  My dreams for the future are bright but what I have to do until then can weigh on me. But I’ve got to make the best of right now.  Ya know?

I’ve got some “new to me” internet obsessions.
Pinterest – Holy guacamole. Genius. You can follow me if you wanna.  I’m silverspeak7.
This tumblr – Go curvy girl!
Polyvore – I really dig creating a collage of fashion pieces. I’m not the best dressed by any means but its fun creating my style especially since I’m all for updating my wardrobe. Tis fun!

Ok, ok…I bid you adieu. Have a wonderful weekend!

Well, the in-laws left yesterday morning and we had so much fun with them while they were here.  Eli is wild and hilariously fun.  It was a big adjustment having a two year old in our house for a week.  Our home isn't really child-proof and we are used to making plans, coming and going, without having to worry about attitudes and nap times.  It was interesting to say the least.  I love that kid.  He's so sweet in nature.  When he hugged me bye this morning, he just staying in my arms for a lil longer than your average hug.  I almost teared up and it was nice to just hold him.  His mom and dad are doing a great job raising him.  I'm looking forward to our next visit. OH! My sweet sister in law made me these rings! She's so talented. :) I hope you all had a wonderful Independence Day!!! Do you have any favorite moments from the weekend? One of my favorite moments was my family sitting at the dinner table singing Queen and humming the Star Wars Theme Song.

Well, hello! Notice something different? Yup! I got a shnazzy new layout.  All thanks and love goes to Amy .  She's is so sweet to have taken the time out to do this for me.  I was blown away with the transition.  She has so many talents, including photography. If you don't know Amy, you're missing out so... Check her out ! Aside from drooling over my freshly designed blog, I've been preparing the house for our guests. They'll be here tomorrow!!!! I can't wait.  I'll also be cooking for them but NOT experimenting. Hahaha! I'm only using Jon as my guinea pig (btw, had a random dream last night that I owned a guinea pig. Random.).  Anyway, he doesn't seem to mind. I started asking him to grade it from 1-10 and so far I haven't been under 7. Woot! What I cook is easy to make and it's usually quick.  I would share them but the crappy part is, I don't measure the ingredients.  I don't like to. I just estimate. UNLESS I'm baking. Th

The Door

The Door , a photo by silverspeak7 on Flickr. I snapped this pic yesterday at an abandoned house near my work. Jon loved it so much and when he found out where I took it, he suggested we look around some day. It's so run down but really beautiful. There's another home, plantation style, I'd love to look at but I found out that it's not abandoned and a recluse lives there. There's no electricity or anything. It's hard for me to imagine living like that. That house is HUGE. I always imagine some horror story. Anyway that's all for today. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! :)
