Ok so there is a chick who makes geeky shows on youtube, i became a fan a long time ago. Since then her career has exploded! She's been on several TV shows, she writes, produces and acts in her own online shows all of which i have really enjoyed. 
Anyways her latest thing she is doing is a video blog where she does different things like smiting, chain saw stuffig and her latest was a photoshoot for steampunk fashion.


She had a little part in one of her youtube shows that had steampunk in it but i thought it was just something she came up with, i had no idea it was an actual 'thing' or even what it was.... still shady on what it actual is but i'm so digging the fashion!


The fashion is awesome, it's like victorian-modern with a hint of fantasy (or more like a lot).... i don't know but it is really playing with my fantasy loving obsession part of me.



Ok i looked it up, here is what wiki says about it:

Steampunk is a genre which came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s and incorporates elements of science fiction,fantasy, alternate history, horror, and speculative fiction. It involves a setting where steam power is widely used—whether in an alternate history such as Victorian era Britain or "Wild West"-era United States, or in a post-apocalyptic time —that incorporates elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Works of steampunk often feature anachronistic technology, or futuristic innovations as Victorians might have envisioned them, based on a Victorian perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, and art. This technology includes such fictional machines as those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or the contemporary authors Philip Pullman, Scott Westerfeld and China Mieville.

I was looking through some of my stuff on my 'One Note' and found under 'Family' a section i had titled 'Future Goals/Wants'. It was a list of things with check boxes next to them. I felt so blessed as i read through them and was able to check off all of them but one. It was a list of goals and desires of things i hoped one day i would have.


How blessed am i for only after not quite 5 years of marriage God has blessed me with so much!


Here is my list:

• Own our own House (checked off)
• Have a family pet (checked off)
• Have a garage for Bob's workshop (checked off)
• Rooms for each kid (checked off)
• Craft/Office space (checked off)
• Island in Kitchen (checked off)
• Pantry (checked off)
• Actual laundry room (checked off)
• well... it's not an actual room yet but it's worth being checked off
• Big Yard (big enough :D ) (checked off)
• Nice matching décor in my rooms

Thank you God for blessing my family! Giving us everything we need and then a ton more on top of that. You have supplied all our needs, given us an amazing place to call our home where we are making it our own, wonderful church family, and great friends. You always see us through the hard times and amaze me each time when you do it. Not sure how life could get much better. You are the best Daddy ever!

We are making some chicken kabobs with tomato, onion and mushroom and for some side dishes i decided to try these recipes i found:

I love our church Real Life Christian Church. It was such a fun Easter weekend event!

This here is a shot of me and the ladies at the coffee bar on Saturday night. It got a tad crazy but it was a lot of fun! Thanks so much for the awesome ladies that helped out back there with me!

I snagged this pic because this two where wearing costumes i had made, hehe

Oh and this is me getting baptized Saturday night 4/7/12 ^_^ How cool is that yo?

Then we did all again Sunday morning minus me getting baptized lol but 7 others did get baptized that morning. It was such a blast and we had such great help for the whole thing. I think we have an awesome church family, they are great. My mom came down and got to be with us during all this weekend.

After church mom, dad and Jessica came down to spend Easter with us as well. Bob got the shade sail put up and we set up the outdoor carpet and table and bench and spent the evening out there. We grilled steak and burgers and had some great food. We played some lawn darts and horse shoes and laughed laughed. Later that night me and Jess came inside and we played some kinect sports. Later Bob and dad hoped up there and played a little bit and it was sooo funny.

It was nice having my mom and other mom and dad and sister down with us. It was tons of fun!

All in all a great weekend and Easter!
