Christmas is right around the corner and I have some great gift ideas for your friends or family!
My church is partnered with an African mission and women and children over there make jewelry. Keep in mind that just one bracelet that you purchase can feed one child!... wow!
I really like the style and it is affordable! So if you need some gift ideas, search this site
Merry Christmas!

My new pad
1285 kirts blvd # 205, Troy Mi 48084
My new Place! It is starting to fill more and more like home! Although, I do not have any of my furniture yet...sad... so I am sleeping on an air mattress, eating of plastic wear and sitting on the floor to watch TV... but at least I have that! My apartment is in a nice, safe, quiet neighborhood.The unit itself is huge for a one bedroom, one bathroom. So many closets in this space that I actually need more clothes to fill it up:) The complex pays for the heat and water... which is huge! All apartments here in Troy are "older" type places so it is a different feel that I have to get used to.
The weather is getting cooler as we speak. It has snowed off and on, but not for too long. I am still dreading the mornings where i will have to shovel snow off and out from under my tires!... Wonder if I can pay someone to do that?!
I am still going to the church that i have mentioned in earlier post and will usually tag along with people I meet afterwards for lunch, a girls gotta eat!
I have been having to adjust to the limited of things that I can do outside when its 20 and below. Now when its 30 I ... and the rest of Michigan are outside taking advantage of the weather! Way different than Texas and its heat index of 107... ouch! Good bye floating the river with a beer and hello drinking cider by the fire! I feel like this is the life and weather I was made for! Fire, coats, board games and coffee!!
I miss you all! Sholam

10 Hippest spots
I have lived here for a little over a month now, here are some of my personal fav spots!
1. Downtown Royal Oak. I could be here every day, food, art galleries, shops and movies... what more do i need.? Here is a list of all the places you can go
2. Geniuses. This is currently the church I attend.
3. Holiday Market. Discovered this market today. It is just like the central markets we have in Texas and we all know my love for central market!
4. Eastern Market. At this market you can purchase the freshest fruits and veggies for super cheap! It is only open once a week on Saturdays located in mid town Detroit.
5. Somerset mall. This mall is literally one of the best malls that i have been to. True, only rich people shop here... but a girl can dream and window shop... right!? Also, this place is a block away from my new apartment... uh oh, Pops send money ASAP :)
6. Detroit Riverfront. Beautiful here! Baby Jonas and I always try and venture out in the cold to walk along the riverfront
7. The Green Dot. This place is walking distant from our current house. It is a bar/ pub... my kind of place!
8. Astros Coffe. It is a coffee house that is located 2.5 mins away from us, corktown.
9. CiderMill. Michiganders are HUGE on cider and doughnuts around here. There are several cider mills; where they make the cider... pretty cool to watch and taste delicious! On the link you will see several images!
10. Olgas. Amazing food
There you have it !

The place I call home
What a few crazy weeks!
Michigan is wonderful, of course I'm lonely here and there and miss people terribly... But I've been experiencing some kind of thrill being in a new place knowing nothing and no one!
For the past few weeks I've been living with the lee family and it has surprising gone well, am getting extremely close to them, which I know now that it was in Gods plan all along.
However, on November 9th I will have my own apartment! Whooo:)
It is in the town of troy very close to royal oak, Birmingham and Franklin ( where the lees have bought a house)
Troy is an awesome area, has one of the biggest malls in the nation and shops and eats are all up and down the street. I can walk 2 streets up and be on the main st, called big beaver( ridiculous name, i know) it's a 1/1 and has huge living space!
New address is 1285 kirts blvd , troy Mi... Send gifts! Ha!
