Help!

allie • January 7, 2012

I’m writing a quick blog to ask for your patience and maybe a little bit of help:)  As of this far I have googled, you tubed, and blindlessly walked my way through creating this blog myself.  I am not 100% happy with the design or layout options, but I realized I cannot read html.  I am limited and I have a whole new appreciation for those computer geniuses:)  Also, I have a blog that I am already putting some time into and don’t want to invest a lot of money at the moment since I am not making any money:)  Or should I say Ryan doesn’t want to invest any money:) But I do understand!

So, the reason for this post is 2 fold.  First, I have had to put restrictions on my comments because I was getting so much spam, and inappropriate at that, that I DO NOT want shown on my site.  Therefore I have to approve the comments before they come.  Well, since I was gone for a bit I realize that I have 11,000 comments to go through, yikes!  I love getting comments and hearing your feedback and questions so I am going to start cleaning up these comments and going through them everyday and hopefully respond to yours and “approve” it so it gets posted.

My second reason is to see if anyone out there knows of a college student, wonderful person, fairly inexpensive that does do work for wordpress blogs.  I am actually looking to change my domain name and my blog over to a different site.  Pretty sure I can’t  do it on my own:)  I would love some new design, a signature, button…some sidebar stuff…does this make any sense to anyone else??  :) :)   If not that’s totally okay, just thought I would throw it out there:)

So, please be patient with me as I am trying to figure out these computer technicalities and try to better my site:)  I also want to say thank you to those of you who do leave comments and encouragements:)  It keeps me going!!

The Oaks final outdoor reveal
By Allie Lundeen August 14, 2025
I pulled off the biggest surprise I've ever done... I can't believe it!! So a little back story - 17 years ago Ryan sold his prized possession, his 1991 Mazda Miata, to help fund a much needed mini van for our baby on the way. After I got pregnant I quit my job and we went from 2 incomes down to 1 income. We knew that a 2 person convertible just wasn't practical and that the finances could be used in a better way. So we sold it... Fast forward 17 years and it all comes back full circle. I put my 17 year old son Tate on the task of finding us a Miata that looked just like dads, and he blew it out of the water. He found the perfect car on Facebook Marketplace In great condition! He drove almost 3 hours to pick it up with a buddy and pulled off the best surprise ever!!! Also to note Tate has never driven through the Twin Cities or Driven a stick shift on any road besides a gravel one close to the cabin. BUT he was confident and crushed the challenge!! We stored it for the night and gave it to him the next day! I think Ryan's reaction says it all (watch the mini vlog below!) Our "19th" anniversary isn't until November but what fun is a convertible if you can't drive it in the summer, so we gave it to him early and are so happy we did! *make sure to read until the end for a good laugh ;)
