I Actually Won!

I can’t believe it, but I actually won the Best of Blogs award for Best Pet Blog! Check it out here.

Thank you to everyone who voted for me…and a big thank you to my mom, who not only obsessed about voting for me every day, but who I also hear sent out emails to everyone she knows soliciting votes for me….so, um, thanks mom….you did it!

To anyone who may be reading my blog for the first time, welcome! This blog is mostly about my two orange kitties, Pancake and Henry, planning my wedding (less than four months away!), weird stuff about living in Michigan, and about random happenings in my life. So, I hope you enjoy it. Here’s a little teaser about future blogs to come: Jon and I registering for wedding gifts, crazy Michigan weather, my obsession with Sports Night, and of course some Pancake and Henry action thrown in there somewhere.

For now, I’ll leave you with one of Jon’s favorite pictures from our recent engagement photo shoot courtesy of Loon Lake Photography.

I thought summer mornings would be slow and easy…and sometimes they are…but not when you have to get three kids to summer camp by 9am! That’s why I love @go_caribou Drivers who refinance through Caribou save an average of over $100 per month on their car payment…which means extra money to spend on all of our summer fun ☀️
