sick day

Today I have never been so sick before in my life.... or that I can remember

Last night(Sunday) my brother Jason, Sarah and I wanted to grill out some fish...So Jay and I ran down to the only supermarket in Oscoda call Gleans. Their meat counter was closed so we picked up some frozen fish and took them back to the house...

Grilled them out and had a great time at dinner...Well that night I did not sleep well so I left to drive home a little earlier then I was going to and about 1/2 way home there I was pulling over to the side of the road...I feel bad for people that was driving down I75 because it was not pretty.... Not long after that Jason and Sarah were also sick....Can you say food poisoning.......

well it is now 1am on Tuesday and I'm able to eat some crackers and drink some Vernor's and its not come back up :)

Can I just say I hate being sick


Till Next Time....

Garden Gate Cafe

Garden Gate Cafe

"Where the food is great and the fun never ends".

After a great afternoon of shopping in the streets of Shipshewana and seeing everything by {Erin Marie Designs} @ Annalea's Boutique Sarah and I were ready to eat.
 
Now one thing I love Love LOVE about little towns are great cafes. I love meeting the people that own and work at them. They are always all about their guest that are coming their Cafes. Well a few months back my mom and I came to Shipshewana for a girl weekend and we found just that place.
 
We were in a shop that was selling antiques and it also had a candy shop. The owner of the candy shop was telling us about her Cafe that was just a few doors down. So my mom and I had to go and check it out....WELL can you say cup cakes. The cup cake that my mom wanted was at the candy shop so the owner walked back to the candy shop just to get her the cup cake..How amazing is that...
 
So when Sarah and I came down I told her we had to go to the Garden Gate Cafe for lunch
 



When you walk into Garden Gate Cafe its full of pink, flowers, cool vintage chairs...girl all over, all you can do is look around. For me I feel at home I love anything bright and colorful...

As I said before Cup Cakes.....And they are so good. Oh but lets get back to lunch before the dessert.

The menu is full of great Salads, Wraps, Panini's and Quiches. Sarah ordered a salad and I ordered the Quiche of the day... It was a chess and asparagus Quiche with fresh fruit and a rhubarb muffin and It was SO SO GOOD



Now on for the dessert

 

Because it has this great vintage vibe there are old cake displays filled with homemade cupcakes and cookies

I had to get a cupcake...You cant go to the Garden Gate Cafe and not get a cupcake. I got the Dark Chocolate with raspberry filling....

 

It was so good.....

 

If you are ever in Shipshewana stop into the Garden Gate Cafe "Where the food is great and the fun never ends". Try the Quiche of the day mine was great.... http://www.gardengatecupcakes.com/

This is a Maxi that I made Sarah try on and she looks soooo good in it. She ended up getting this great top from Scrapbook Originals. Its a super hot top and it shows off her ink.... I bought a great pair of sunglasses and a super cute pair of earrings.

The owners name is Leanna Martin. She is so cute I just love her. She has such a great spirit about her

When I asked her if I could take a photo with her for my blog she told me " I take such bad photos tell everyone that I'm sick or something" lol but I think she is so beautiful and I love her Boutique is had a great relax vintage feel to it. You feel like your at home when you are in there.

Well a lot has happened in the last few months. I'm no long a Youth Pastor. (still called to ministry) I left my church it has been hard but I know its what God was telling me to do. Now I'm sitting pretty just loving the new church we are going to and waiting to see what God has in store for us.

I got my etsy shop back up and filled with great stuff...I also did my first whole sale, sale to a great little shop in Shipshewana,IN (I will tell you more about that tomorrow)

I'm still going strong at Ulta...I have hit some bumps but turning things around and looking for ways to leave my mark and make something great out of what we have.

All in All life is going good. I just wanted to say HHHHIIIII and I'm excited to tell you about everything that is going on
