Fraud and marriage

As I was getting ready to go to the wedding reception I received a text..

I assumed it was a spam text. One that would ask for my banking info and all that. So, I ignored it.
I kept thinking.. Yeah OKAY.. spending $30 wouldn’t concern my bank. I’m sure they know my shopaholic ways.
15 minutes later I receive an automated call. It asked if I was “Amanda Ship” (no one says the “E”.. gr.)
Then asked if I could answer security questions. I hung up thinking I was such an idiot for even answering.
It’s clearly just an annoying company trying to get my bank account information. No thanks.
But, then I started wondering.. MAYBE it was chase. I’m in the middle of painting my nails and I decide I’ll check.
My checking account is at THIRTEEN CENTS. I look and see all of these charges..


I don’t think that I even thought about anything. Next thing I know I’m on the phone with Chase.
THANK GOD they’re sending me a new card and refunding my money…
Fandango.com stole $400 from me! Here’s the thing, I never gave them access to my bank account.
I had the Fandango app but, never once did I buy anything. Never. Ever. Go screw yourself Fandango.com.

After that, the night was fab. I had a real good time at the wedding.

Something about a Photo Booth & props made me the happiest girl ever!

Plus, Lucas made me slow dance with him and I love when we do. Even though it’s so awkward.
The entire time we just talk about how we don’t know how to slow dance.
I kept making him see how other couples were doing it to see if we were doing it right.
But, after about a minute of me feeling awkward he said, “I don’t think you can slow dance wrong.”
Maybe he’s right. So we just did our thing. But, I was mad when he wouldn’t come cupid shuffle with me.
It’s weird because if you watch The Voice did you see when cupid was singing before his audition?
Well Luke’s old band’s singer was the guy in the background playing guitar.

Everyone at that wedding would ask me how I knew the Bride & Groom.
And I would said, “I don’t. My boyfriend does”.. then they’d ask who he was.
Then someone would thankfully answer for me, “Lucas! The drummer!”


New by Lucas Zell

Yeah, my boyfriend when he was a little baby.
But, everyone at the wedding knew him from way back when I was just a fan girl. Haha.

The wedding was gorgeous! The bride and groom are such a beautiful couple!

Don’t mind the eyes, my dumb phone was being super fab.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!! I hope Monday isn’t too hard on you!!!

  5. Eeep! I can't believe an APP would scam money from your bank! Like how did they even get access? I'd contact the bank just to see how it happened on their end... Shouldnt they be secure?!

    Least you got a refund though! Scary!

    Love the photos too!
    Super cute hun!

    XOXO

Now or never... (QUICK UPDATE)

I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to get back into blogging. However, life took multiple turns and I've been too busy to sit down at my computer and produce a decent blog post. It can't hurt to fill in anyone that still reads my blogs, but might not closely follow me on social media. After TWO years of being single and not being into the idea of dating anyone, I'm actually in a relationship. I know at the beginning of a relationship it's expected to be in the state that you feel like you've never been happier. The difference is, I've known my boyfriend for 11 years. When we were young, we'd always act like a couple. We never had a "title" back then no matter how many times we reconnected. Seven months ago, he finally moved back home. I was so excited to have him back in my life. Then I realized that I wasn't okay with just being his friend. After about 5 months of blowing him off and him giving up trying to hang out, I finally ex...

Sleepy Momma

I did plan on posting this previous week and the week before.. however, I've been so incredibly exhausted and busy. I guess that's a great way of putting, welcome to mom life! To be completely honest, I'm so happy with where I'm at in life right now. Yes, there are things that are difficult to deal with and I know some of those things will always be hard. For a while I wished that I could go back well over a year ago and made a different decision. I don't wish that now because I've grown so much and gained things I could never give up. My strength, my motivation and my happiness is at an all time high. It feels amazing. In other news...  I finally got a kitten! She's such a sassy girl, but she can be the most loving thing at times! When she wakes up and I'm next to her or when I pick her up, she grabs my cheeks and kisses me.  The bottom left photo is a result of a playful kitty that needs her nails trimmed. If you foll...

Thoughts from an ex-blogger..

My desire to get back to writing has been so strong lately. I can't seem to figure out if I want to blog again. At the same time, I REALLY want to blog again. I've found comfort in my privacy. This comfort has made me uncomfortable with openly sharing details of my life. However, blogging always was there to provide me with an outlet to express my thoughts, feelings and emotions. The people I was able to connect with through blogging was always an incredible bonus. I didn't want to blog when I realized that people that I don't want to be part of my life were reading my blog posts. During this time I also stopped being active on Twitter and Instagram. I felt that it was unfair to me that specific people were able to catch up on my life via social media. There are many issue I face with returning to my blog. I need to allow myself to step outside of my comfort zone of keeping my life private. I need to be okay with the fact that some people, that shouldn't be ...
