#PRAYFORBALTIMORE

            Hi there everyone! Wizzy here! Welcome to my page! You all have probably have seen all over the new the ciaos that has hit my beloved city of Baltimore. If you have been living under a rock let me fill you in. It all started with the death of Freddie Graye. He was in police custody when his neck was snapped and he pasted away a week later. Now I don't know what really happened but I do know that my heart goes out to his family. People started to protest on Saturday for answers. The first half of the protest was very peaceful! They marched to the court house and said speeches. However all hell broke loose when the protest ended. People started to riot. They looted stores. Harassing people. Threw trash at people. Tried breaking into the Oriel game. The destroyed cop cars. So anyway on Sunday it was very quiet nothing to crazy. Monday afternoon high school students started to riot. Throwing rocks and police. Setting fires. Looting. Destroying our beloved city. For what? Not Freddie! Long store short. Military was brought into our city. We now have a curfew and are in a state of emergency. I never thought in a million years this would be us. No not my city. Not Baltimore. For more info please watch the video above. Lets spread the love! No hate! Please pray for us all

Our Valentines Day 2015

                             




          Hello my lovers! Welcome to all the new comers and welcome back to all my turning loves. Belated happy valentines day! I hope everyone single and taken had a great holiday. Charlie and I celebrated our 5th valentines day together. We had a very sweet and romantic valentines day.  Charlie worked during the morning so when he got home we took a nice warm nap together. When I woke up Charlie told me he had a surprise evening all set for us. It was the sweetest! He took my hands and asked me to be his valentine and join him this evening. It was just one of those little sweet things that makes you smile like a school girl. I don't know about every where but Baltimore got hit with a freak out of nowhere blizzard! Unfortunately our car is in the shop and we had to walk in a blizzard to get where we had to go. The walk there wasn't nearly as bad as the walk back. Anyway the surprise was reservations at our favorite restaurant outback! It was perfect. He had the whole night planned. Thank goodness he called a head because the place was packed! We only had to wait 15 minutes for our table. Dinner was perfection! We had our favorite aussie cheese fries. Oh my god if you go to outback you have to try them! I had a burger and Charlie had a steak. The meal was delicious. Then we had to walk back in that blizzard and the winds just started picking up! It was freezing but very memorable! I'm not a huge fan of the cold and snow but I thought it was very romantic.The best part of my whole love day was spending it with my guy. He is so sweet and so romantic that everyday is like valentines day for me. It was so nice to forget about the day to day grind and just celebrate our love for each other. I hope everyone had a very sweet valentines day! I wanna know how your day went! Comment below!

Our first car!!!

OUR FIRST CAR!

This blog is a reaaallly long time coming! I have just been so busy with life that I haven't done much blogging at all lately! :(


WE GOT A CAR! We bought our very first car this past may. We really had no idea what all went into buying a car and we hit a few road blocks along the way. First we had to save up the money. Then we needed to find insurance. Finally we needed to pick and buying a car

Saving for a car

     We saved for a about a year for our car. This part is very hard! Charlie and I mostly support our selves and each other financially. Some people don't know how lucky they are to be given a car as a gift or have help paying for it. It took us a little longer then we wanted to save up because we do have bills and other needs. We managed to save up a little over 3,000 for our car by may. That is usually about how much a down payment will cost so inc we saved up enough for a down payment we started looking into car insurance.

Finding out first car

       We where very smart when looking for our first car. We did A LOT  of research! We spend hours on line searching different websites and looking up all the car facts. We knew right away we wanted a use car with not a lot of miles on it. The less car accidents and issues the better. At first we wanted a kia soul. However after doing some research, watching some youtube videos, and reading some reviews we found out that the kia felt very boxy to drive. So we decided to look into other car types. We finally found our car on carmax.com! A white 2003 oldmobile alero for 7,000. The price was  perfect for us. The car facts looked great. One other owner and it had no past accidents. It only had 81,000 miles on it. We totally fell in love! Now our next step was to find some car insurance that we could afford.

CAR INSURANCE

       Car insurance was a huge pain for us. Most people are ages are on their parents insurance or have been driving long enough to get a cheap rate. Charlie is a new driver and I still just have my learners so insurance was ridiculously high for us. We went to a bunch of places such as Allstate, state farm, etc and the rate for full cover was way more then we could manage right now. At first we only wanted to put a down payment on the car but to do that we would need full coverage. We decided we would have to pay a car in full to be able to afford insurance. It was very depressing and super bummed us out. It took us so long to get to the point where we had enough money saved up to put a down payment of a car. We where so excited and ready to start the car buying process. Then we hit this huge rode block it was heart breaking! We needed a car and we needed a plan. We talked through many plans with our families. Hope was not lost! We finally came up with a plan that worked for us! We would pay for our down and get help from Charlie's dad and step mom. We of course would pay them back as soon as we had the money! This was such a blessing! We are so thankful to them for helping us out! We really could have done it with out them! Once we had a plan we decided to get liability car insurance from geico.

Buying our car!!

         Now that we had the car insurance taken care of there was just one thing left to do!!! Finally going to buy our first car. We went to carmax in white marsh Maryland. It is about 20 min from where we live. It was really surprisingly a easy and smooth process. Charlie was super nervous about the test drive so he let his dad drive the car but he rode along for the test drive. They where out for a test drive roughly 30 min. The car ran great. The next step was payment and a whole lot a paper work. The whole process took about 2 hours. After everything was signed and paid for they handed us the keys! An amazing feeling! We finally had our own car that we worked really hard for. We had freedom and a whole lot of adventures ahead of us. Charlie's dad had to show us how all the buttons and such worked. Then we where off with a car of our very own!

Our advice to first car buyers!

          Our advice for you is to  first save save SAVE! If you are looking to buy a car and you aren't getting any help from your parents the first step is to at least save up for a down payment on a car. That means at least saving $3,000. Save as much as you can anywhere you can save it. Then once you have enough in the bank for a down payment time to crack open Google and do as much research as you can! Find out what car works for you then get as much background on that car as you can. Look up the car facts, read reviews, and watch reviews. After you have done you research find a car insurance plan that works for you. If something doesn't work out the first try don't get discouraged. Just come up with another plan. Remember a car is a lot of responsibility! Be smart behind the wheel! A text message can wait and never get behind the wheel if you have been drinking. Never drive faster then your angel can fly. Thanks for reading! I hope you found this helpful! Good luck!

Being Wizzy

Birth!

       On a beautiful Sunday morning in May I was born! May 5 1991 to be exact. I was born to my mother Laura Ann Lang and my father Willaim Wayne Lang. I was there first born. I'm the special one! I was conceived about three month after my parents got married and was born just short of their wedding anniversary. The pregnancy wasn't a easy one for my mother. Due to issues at home my father made her pregnacy nearly unbearable. He was a horrible man which you will learn more about in this segment. One night he hit her so bad he threw my mother into labor. I was only a week early my due date was suppose to me Mother's Day.  She always tells me how the hospital send her home at first and she did EVERYTHING to get me out! From walking around the block to eating hot foods. She never let me live it down that she was in 36 hours of labor. During labor there where some complications. The cord got wrapped around my neck. My heart beat was dropping fast! So they rushed my mother in for a c-section. I was more at 6:50 pm. The time I was born is very special and cool because my mother was born at 6:50 am. I was a super tiny little thing. I weighted 5ib 8oz and was 17 1/4 long. I was born at John Hopkins hospital in Baltimore Maryland. Bryan irye was the doctor who delivered me into this world.  Mom says I was a super happy baby. WIZZY is just my nickname and I go by Lizz now but I was born Elizabeth Ann Lang. Elizabeth and Ann are both really popular names in my family my mother's middle name is Ann, my grandmother's middle name is Elizabeth, and my great grandmother's name is Elizabeth Ann. So that is how I was born. That is the beginning of being wizzy. I wanna know your beginnings! Comment below how you came into the world!
