Life has been pretty busy ever since Athens and all that. The following week DJ and I went every night to the Clermont Co. Fair with Kyle and Katelyn and sometimes other friends! That was one of the besst summer memories everr!! Camargo camp was awesome this year and we had Bro. Plank back, whose preaching I enjoy SO much, as well as Bro. Neville. The day after camp I had the extreme pleasure to go riding 4-wheelers with Katelyn, Kyle, Randy, Wesley, Travis and Todd out at the Hutchinson's property...that was like one of the very most funn times I have everr had!!!! Then a few weeks later Katelyn, Tara and I went up to Columbus for the weekend and were able to go to Camp Gilead..It was fun being able to hang out with them! And onto the Hospital lol...I was asked to be an Escort trainer and trained for that so now I am an escort trainer and get to train my first set of trainees in a few weeks. I have quit the going in weekly for the winter due to trying to do school and all that..which I am in my second to the last school year and I am EXTREMELY excited about that!! Well, that's all I can think of for now...sorry I don't have any pictures..I will try to put some on soon,,if you comment lol!! Thanks for reading!! I'm sure my grammar has been HORRIBLE lol!!

SURPRISE!!

2009-01-16T08:22:00.000-08:00

This past Tuesday my Aunt Di, Grammy and I surprised my Mommy for her birthday by taking her to a tea room right across the river called Mrs. Teapots!! It was SOO MUCH FUN!! Now one thing you need to know about my mom is there are like NO secrets with her cause she smells like rats that aren't even rats but yeah so anyways surprises are REALLY hard to do for her cause she ALWAYS finds out!! And another thing is is she is REALLYY STUBBORN!! So Tuesday morning I gave her this card and bold-faced and underlined the emphasizing words that we WERE going to tea and it sounded like it was just the two of us but really my aunt and grandma were going to be there!! Anyways so I didn't know this but my Dad had told her earlier that she was to do EVERYTHING I said for her to do that day and THREATEND her LOL!! So I was good!! But anyways so we went for my lesson then went over there and I saw my Aunts van and they were standing in the window and I was like OH NO!! She is gunna see the van the Indiana plates see them in the window and all but what I didn't remember, which Sherry Wolfe used to tease her about all the time, but, she is VERRYYY oblivious when she is driving!! She doesn't notice ANYTHING so... I was good and then we had to park down a ways and therefore had to walk by her van again but thank GOODNESS my mom was digging in her purse so didn't notice it lol!! So anyways we got up to the door and she like looked back at my with this HUGE smile and went OHHHHH like as she was walking in and started CRYING and gave her mom this hug that lasted for like FIVE minutes and then one that was a LITTLE bit shorter maybe to her sister and it was just reallyy sweet!! AND one more thing about my Mommy is she LOVESSS ANYTHING TEA, PINK or PRETTY!! And like the tea room was all painted pink and was SOO pretty anyways it was SOO much fun and I LOVED doing it for her!! She is the BEST Mommy EVER and I know alot of ppl think their moms are the best and all but guess what?!?! I have news for you!! I don't think my Mommy is the best...I KNOW she is!! And I love her SOO VERRYY much!!

My Mommy hugging her Mommy right after she walked in!!

And my Aunt!!

Talking!!

LOVING EVERY minute of it!!

At the top there on the sides I don't think you can see it verry well but instead of like a circle or whatever its a TEAPOT!!

And again!!

More teapots!!

Talking outside!!

Well that's all that I got on here!! I took like 90 pictures!! Anyways Thank you SOO MUCH Aunt Di and Grammy for puting that all together!!

2008-12-18T07:35:00.000-08:00

I got this in an email and I thought I would share it with y'all! I really like the message in it! Enjoy!

Jesus is Better than Santa

Santa lives at the North Pole.

JESUS is everywhere.

Santa rides in a sleigh.

JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.

Santa comes but once a year

JESUS is an ever- present help.

Santa fills your stockings with goodies

JESUS supplies all your needs.

Santa comes down your chimney uninvited

JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. And then enters your heart.

You have to stand in line to see Santa

JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.

Santa lets you sit on his lap

JESUS lets you rest in His arms.

Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?"

JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too . He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.

JESUS has a heart full of love.

JESUS offers health, help and hope.

Santa says "You better not cry"

JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.

Santa's little helpers make toys

JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions. Santa may make you chuckle but

JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.

While Santa puts gifts under your tree,

JESUS became our gift and died on the tree. It's obvious there is really no comparison. We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about. We need to put Christ back in Christmas.

Jesus is still the reason for the season.

May the Lord Bless and Watch over you and your loved ones this Christmas 2008

And may He prosper and bless the work of your hands in the New Year - 2009

We still aren't "out of the woods yet" but we are close and I know with prayer God will work everything out and we will soon be all better!

Happy Memorial Day!!

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day!! I hope you had a very good day and enjoyed the long weekend that some of y'all had!! We went to the parade and service in Loveland this morning, which was verryy nicely done, and then this afternoon we were invited to go out to Hutchinsons property out in Pleasant Plain!! We had a grill-out and got everything grilled and were just ready to eat and it started to rain so, we had to go inside!! But, the rain stopped after a while and it turned beautiful again!! YAY!! So anyways Kaitlyn and Katrina and I played phase 10 (and it has been FOREVER since I have played that, so I had to re-learn LOL!!) and they also took me for rides on the four wheeler which was a LOT of fun!! Thanks guys!! And that was my Memorial Day!! So real quick before I sign off I would like to be a lil patriotic!! I am SOOO VERRYY thankful for all the men who have died to keep us free here!! All the many heroes that were never properly recognized I thank you!! And just all of the men who have proudly worn our U.S. Military uniforms!! And then I am thankful for a day set aside to remember!! I am verryy much at fault here, but we take our freedoms sooo much for granted here and I really don't think to much about it, and so I am thankful we have a whole day to remember and honor those that fought for it!! Thank you!! Now here are just some random pics I have found on the Internet that I thought were neat!!

I thought that this was a neat pic!!

This one is SoOoO sad!!

This is neat with all the more recent wars!!

And this one just beautiful!!

Bring your child to work day!!

2008-04-26T14:22:00.000-07:00

Well Thursday was bring your child to work day at B-North. Benji went with me because I was supposed to be a group leader!! Well, long story short, it was pretty disorganized and my group was taken over and I didn't get to be a group leader but, that's ok with me!! There ended up being like 20 some kids in each group!! Well Benji's group was lead by my "boss" Teresa Lock and her daughter!! Her daughter brought her two boys, and, it was really nice to get to meet them!! I had to go do surgery schedules since I was not needed there so she so willing agreed to take pictures for me!! Their group was the last group to leave and ended up having only ten kids!! So here are some pictures from the day!!

Benji and I ready for a day of adventure through the hospital!!

Got your smile ready?? Benji does!!

This lady was our guest speaker and she was talking to

us about protecting our spine!!

Here is Benji making his candy spine!!

The finished product!!

Our first stop on the tour; The nursury!!

Then to the E.R. Where Dr. Hooker gave all the

kids fake cast on their arm!!

Benji getting his!!

Dr. Erlanger getting Benji's cast all finished up!!

All done!!

Now here he is getting ready for surgery!!

All ready to operate!!

Watching them take "blood" out of a fake arm!!

Inspecting his "blood" - only to find out its not real!!

What a dissapointment!!

I got some "blood" - you want it?!?!

Checking out the machine in the lab that separates the real blood!!

Looking through the microscope!!

Fun, fun times!!

Easter

2008-03-25T12:31:00.000-07:00

Well I hope y'all had a Happy Easter celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!! I sure did!! I got to go into the hospital and everything!! My favorite receptionist Charlotte was working, and it is always fun to be with her!! I met a couple other Juniors that were working and the one that was working from 4-7 just happened to attend the same orientation as I did!! He is a senior and is going to go to Rice University in Houston Texas for the same degree as I would like to get, but, I'm not telling what that is!! So that was very interesting!! Well here are a couple pictures of my Easter!! One picture is of Benji and I, and the other is of my corsage that my Dad got for me!! Enjoy!!

Have a WoNdErFuL day!!

My little mission field!!

2008-03-15T14:25:00.000-07:00

Well I had been on Sis. Tumbleson's blog and I saw on there the picture of her work and how she was talking about it being her mission field. And ever since then I have looked at my work at the hospital differently!! This is a picture of Bethesda North, the hospital I volunteer at!! I go in whenever they need me, and its usually in the morning or afternoon!! I have often thought while walking in the halls and seeing people everywhere (and doing my work of course LOL!!) the phrase my mommy has often said, "You may be the only Jesus they ever see." So I have tried to always have a smile on my face and a Christ like attitude even when I go back in the A.T.C. where people are receiving their chemo treatments. I absolutely LoVe working there and the only scheduled day that I have currently is next Sunday!! So that will be fun!! So just don't come in to be admitted I really don't want to admit anyone on Easter so yeah just come in to visit if you want lol!! Well see you next post!!

First post and Abby!!

2008-03-13T15:30:00.000-07:00

Well since I have started this again (cause my other blog kinda got neglected) and Abby has started blogging, I thought that I would put a couple of my favorite pics of her and I on here!! She is absolutely adorable and definitely one of my best friends!! I love you Abby!!
