Here in Troy, Michigan is a new sushi restaurant. It's really cool because its set up like a traditional Japanese restaurant. The pricing is great for the amount of food you get and a wide variety of sushi, made to order. The food comes out on a conveyor belt, which you can pick the food up from there as it floats by you. There are other food items like ramen, rice, soups and desserts on the menu that can be special ordered. They even give you prizes once you've consumed a certain number of plates, which was a surprising treat!! We had a blast. Check out my YouTube video above to see how we liked it at Kura Revolving Sushi Bar. 

I love church and I love singing, My pastor asked me to sing during service so I decided to sing, "I can only imagine". Check it out!

A very special Christmas!! So my beloved boyfriend decided to surprise me with the ultimate Christmas gift on December 25, 2020.  My mother and I joined his family for Christmas dinner. We all prayed and ate the holiday meal together as we shared laughs and funny stories. Then we decided to take a few family photos. We took about 4 pictures on his sister's phone. The camera on the cellular phone counted down from 10 to 1 each time. During the last photo, we all posed and smiled as the camera counted down. By the time the camera got to 4, my boyfriend Omari jumped out of his spot. Everyone stared at him, yelling and asking him why did he move. Then he dropped to his knee and asked me to marry him. We all screamed in awe of his random act of love! We were all shocked and very excited to say the very least. Check out everyone's reaction in the photo below....                                ...

  So, while I was in California back in September 2020 I purchased  some turtles! They were only 2 weeks old when I first got them and they are growing pretty fast! So far they are very sweet. Check out this video to see some turtle action!! Oh and don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel ;-)

I decided to host a Halloween party this year. We had pizza, cupcake, cider and candy. We took pictures, had a costume contest and did a few hustles. We even had a disco light and music. It was loads of fun and a great way for my family and my boyfriend's family to get to know each other better. I can't wait until next Halloween!

https://creationmuseum.org/ I decided to take a quick day trip to Petersburg, Kentucky to visit the Creation Museum. This museum is not the average museum by any means! They have a café with vegetarian/vegan options, a 3D theatre, lecture hall, interactive exhibits and a petting zoo. They even have zip lining and camel back riding! I went for the first time in 2013 with my grandmother and a campus Bible study group. This time around was a great reminder of how cool this place actually is. It's a Christian museum that focuses on the teachings of creation in Genesis. So if you're a new Christian who wants to learn or an experienced Christian that wants a deeper understanding of the Bible, I highly recommend this museum for a fun, interactive, biblical adventure!!

https://www.frankenmuth.org/ Frankenmuth, also known as Michigan's little Bavaria, is so underrated. There's so much to do here! Us Michiganders should totally take advantage of the wonders of our great lake state! I've visited Frankenmuth more times than I can count but this time around I visited the cheese Haus where we saw a puppet show and purchased some strawberry cream cheese and blueberry cream cheese. We also went to a wine tasting and a coffee shop called the Kaffee Haus. We saw a live band playing classic American "oldies but goodies" songs at the farmer's market and we even visited the Michigan Heroes Museum which has many displays honoring military veterans from Michigan. I also got some collector's charms for my bracelet at the Pandora store. What a cool local day trip! It's only a two hour drive from Detroit.😁
