Tornado Season!!!!

It is Tornado Season once again....my FAVORITE time of year.  Mostly for the excitement and photographic opportunities!  I have a GREAT camera this year, and will be taking lots of photos from storms that roll through Phillipsburg, KS.  I even downloaded the Storm Chaser App on my Android Phone to keep up with the  Mesoscale and Radars when I am away from home.

Home Sweet Home

This weekend, April 8 - 9, 2011, Mike and I will be moving into our temporary residence in Phillipsburg, Ks.  We found a very nice rental for only $300 a month plus utilities.  We got our lawn mower and will be taking care of the lawn as well.  I am considering planting some yellow tulips out front by the red fence.  We will only be renting this place for about a year or so.  We are saving up for 2 things.  My surgery to UNtie my tubes so we can have a baby, and to put a large down payment on a house we found and hope that nobody else gets to it by the time we are ready to buy it!  Pictures of each are below with captions so you know which one is which.  I think this town will be peaceful, and it seems like the folks there are pretty friendly.  Which is a big change from the city I live in now.  A lot of people are pretty selfish in Hays.  Anyway.....I am NOT looking forward to packing up and moving again, but I am looking forward to starting a new chapter in our lives!  GOD thank you!!!

Ciao for now~

The house we are renting is on the RIGHT side with the red fence.

And this is the house we are looking into buying!  Where we will have our family in!  We have lots of plans for this house, and I just get so excited when I see it in my head, how beautiful our future will be! 

Hilarious Video found on Youtube

I just HAD to share this! I'm sure a lot of you have seen the video of the twin boys talking to each other...THIS is a video with translations that are just hilarious! *WARNING ADULT LANGUAGE* (well captioned language) This had me rolling in laughter! 

A Brand New Start

God has been SOOOOOO good to us!!!  My husband, Mike, got a job, a very good paying job in Phillipsburg, Ks.  It's an hour and a half north of where we live now, but we are eager to make the move!  The job has to keep him a minimum of 8 weeks.  If they like him, they will keep him on permanently!!!  He is going to do everything in his power to make sure he gets to keep that job!  It pays $20.45/hr!!!!!

I have found a couple houses we are interested in buying.  One is 35 miles South of Pburg, but it's an amazing house and it's just our style and price!  Mike said he is willing to drive the distance back and forth to have this house.  So we are going to work hard on getting it!  We will be able to buy a nicer car, and afford to have nice things, and drive back and forth to visit my family and our friends!!!  I am so anxious I could just scream!!!

The picture below is of the town of Phillipsburg. It's small, but just right.  And we can drive to Kearney, Nebraska for Wal Mart and other places we need that are bigger!  Nebraska doesn't have food tax, so that will be a good grocery bill for us!!

Okay, so we are moving in 2 weeks!!! I'll keep the blog posted as often as I can!  And definitely will post pictures of the new house!

Ciao,
Mrs. B

Things I create

Other than my photography business, I create pieces of art.  Abstract more or less.  It is a release for me, emotionally.  Sometimes I just need to hide, get away from people, and life, and this is how I do that.  Below are a few pieces I have done over the last week.  They are for sale, sizes up to 16x20 printed on whichever type of paper or canvas you choose.  Prices vary, just leave me a comment with a way to get a hold of you in return and I will give you a list of prices.  Thanks!

 My Bleeding Heart

 Another Break in the Wall

 Art is....

Torn to Pieces 

Strep Throat

Okay, so I am living proof that tonsils CAN grow back after being removed.  However, they weren't fully removed and a piece was left.  Even the SMALLEST piece that is left, is a tissue, and it regenerates.  so BOTH of my tonsils have grown back, after 6 years, and are infected...again.  Another rarity.  In any case...they look gross, and hurt like hell.  Been drinking Decaf Green Tea with honey and lemon and Alkaseltzer of course, all day.  Waiting for the Nurse to call me back in the  morning and let me know what my blood work says.  So they can get the antibiotic in me and get me on my way to recovery, so that I don't have to have surgery again!

This is a picture of my tonsils taken just after midnight on March 3, 2011.  You can see the white bump on the one tonsil, and that is the Strep.  Really painful, and annoying.  Anyway, just gotta keep praying this goes away fast and I don't have problems again.

Date Night!

It's been a while since my Husband and I have had a Date Night!  We had a lot of fun.  Food was so gross, but we made it through with snacks at the movies!  We went out the a Chinese Buffet for dinner, then walked around the Mall and window shopped.  However, we found this GREAT Pea Coat for Mike. I am tellin ya, he has to have it!  It is marked down to $50 from $150.  I mean that's a $100 Discount!  WOW! He looks so fantastic in it.  It's amazing!

Then we went to the Movie Theater, and watched this HILARIOUS movie called "Hall Pass".  If you are a married couple, you HAVE to see this movie! So funny.  From the beginning we were laughing already!  Definitely worth the money to pay to see in Theaters, and then buy when it comes out on DVD.

Now we are home, and getting ready to drink some Green Tea and I am getting a MASSAGE!!!!  Wonderful Date night!  I really love my Husband, and so glad to share my life with him!

Till Next Time,

Mrs. B
