The Shutdown is over!

I'm back and to be honest I have had to restrain from posting while being on shutdown with the government. By the way I hope every single person that reads this post in AMERICA votes for a someone new the next election. Every single idiot in the House and the Senate needs to be REPLACED. America has got to step it up. We are letting fools let big corporations buy their votes make our choices and I'm really tired of it. I really don't want to be bitter in 30 years and telling my kids/grand kids not to worry that, "Jesus is coming back soon to save us all!" like my family does.

My entire family feels the need to use that thought as a way to cope with our shitty government. I'm all for Jesus coming back but I don't say it out loud to people and I most certainly do not live my life like he will. I make plans, I work hard, and I enjoy life.


Now, in review VOTE for someone NEW next time.


No more politics on this blog.



More Housewives.

Blog. Shut. Down.

I'm officially going on shut down while our stupid government is shut down. I can't focus on blogging because I'm too busy telling everyone on Facebook they are crazy and trying to explain what is going on to people who don't even know the difference between "Obamacare" and the "Affordable Care Act."



If I hear, "It's going to be so bad! Just you wait and see!" one more time I'm going to pull my hair out!


If you don't know about what's going on with the government shutdown then take a few minuets and read this easy explanation from Buzzfeed.

Pike Place and Pizza

Last week my father came to town on a business trip and we got to spend a few days together. Of course that means a trip to Pike Place and lots of food. We actually got to spend a good amount of time together just talking and watching movies but one afternoon I got off from work early and we took him downtown to Seattle. We showed him all the typical sights and made our way to the famous Pike Place Market. 

After wondering the shops and trying to figure out what we wanted to eat we finally all agreed to try a new pizza place that I had heard about on Facebook. Okay, I didn't really hear a lot but I saw pictures...and these pictures were of huge pizzas. I knew I had to go and with my husband and father in tow I knew I wouldn't have to eat it all alone. Italian Family Pizza is a newer joint right in the heart of Seattle. In October they will celebrate their 1 year anniversary and I hope many more. They make the dough fresh daily and the pizzas HUGE. We went at an off time on a Wednesday afternoon so the place was empty but I'm assuming they are busier most days. Or at least I hope they are. The one bad thing was no straws. I'm a straw snob...what do you mean you don't have straws? I'm sorry... that's like not having a fork to me. I need a straw. 

Waiting for the pie to arrive. 

I think their faces say it all. 

It was really good! The pizza was the size of the table, wider than my shoulders, and hotter than hell. I think Dad burnt his tongue off and I almost dropped mine in my lap trying to put a slice on my plate. If you're in the area I highly suggest a visit. They only have a few choices pizza wise but they are the classics done well. The sauce was sweet and the cheese was stretchy there were no complaints at our table and we are planning another visit in the future. The pizza was a little pricey $25.00 for a 1 topping pie but it was HUGE so, I'm okay with it. 

I had a really good time with my Dad on his trip and I'm hoping he will have to come back again soon. It always make me a little homesick when we have friends or family come visit and then they leave but the good news is our next visitors are coming in December for my birthday! Chad's sisters Apryle and Hollye will be here for an entire week and I can't wait for them to arrive! We are so blessed with all of our family and friends. I don't think we tell you guys enough how much we love you but we do!
