Sigh.


lately my life has been so crazy, but that doesnt mean much because it seems that no matter my situation or level of business, I dont even compare to the rest of the world, which I must say, amazes me!

im going to Toni & Guy which a hair dressing school in Erie. I love it! I love hat i'm doing and the people I am surrounded by, which I have found out that if i dont have those two things, I am not only unhappy but fial misserably. I also feel like God has opened and closed many doors to get me to where i am right now and that is scary and amzing to me. I hate that no matter how sure you think you are about God's will there is always something more or a curve ball that come from no where! That is where I am right now, for now. We will see what happened in this next year, I feel like 2009 is going to be a huge year for me!

Snow, Snow, Snow!

Oh my word, there is just so much snow! The hot tub in my back year has disappeared and our drive is has become narrowed due to the overwhelming snow piling up! Also, tonight Shevel and I went to Ohio to pick up my new car, :) , it took us about two hours to get there then about three and a half to get home, lets just say, when we left it wasn't snowing! So anyways, I am now the owner of a 2002 Silver Ford Taurus!

Jeremiah is coming home for Thanksgiving, He will be home really late Monday night!!! YAY! Oh m it has been over three months since I have seen him, its about time he proves he a real person instead of a voice on the phone!I also start school back up December 2nd. I excited but a little upset I have to wake up in the morning now! but thats all that going on here up in this winter wonderland so far this week!

NEW!

They re are so many new things going on right now! I went to a new position in Wilmar, I work in infants, and I like it so much better than the front end and what I use to do. Also I have made a new discovery, I can fit/wear kids clothes size large, which is so cool, because over the summer I had gained some weight, and over the past month I lost it all plus some so I am very happy about this new discovery!

Also, tonight I went to a bible study and we were just chit-chatting and went off on a different subject than intended and i was very thought provoking. We were talking about why bad things happen to good people. Now the bible does say that all of sinned and fallen short of the glory of God; it also says, that none of us are 'good', not one. So isn't it much easier to look at that question (why do bad things happen good people?)if we ask, why do bad things happen to bad people? Also someone had asked hte question, what if someone dies at a young age, is that a test from God or a punishment? And the Scripture Hebrews 9:27 " Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgement." I believe that scripture doesn't mean that anyone has a "time", or a "specific time" to die, I believe that that verse is just stating that all men will die, you cant avoid it! So, if you go and get drunk, then get behind the wheel, you are making a choice that you are responsible for, so if you die because you were driving drunk, you have to be responsible for that choice. It "wasn't your time", don't blame God for your sin, essentially. Please give me your thought on this one.

College...

I hate college. I know it will be over soon, I think that is the only reason that I am still hangin in there. Anatomy and physiology is very difficuly. The lab that goes with is ok, i do well in there, but this anatomy is kicking my butt. I am also taking statistics which is easy, I am aslo taking Contemporary Social Problems which gives an economic, political and social view on all sociology. I love that class!! And because im talking about it, i just remembered i do have homeowrk due for that class tomorrow. Anywho, I have also had the flu this week, ew. but its ok Im feeling better.

eh

So im not gunna lie, im stressed. My advise to the world, dont go to school for nursing it makes you fat and stressed, which i thinking are going hand and hand...LOL! It has also been raining here for about 3 days straight, ew. and I did get a new hair cut that i do actually like. I usually hate my hair, so this a nice change. Also Jeremiah has been sick for a few days, but he is getting better, praise god. And I puked in anantomy class the other day and got sent home, and its safe to say my car has seen better days. My car has dies, praise god...LOL! I have needed a new one for awhile now and now I dont feel guilty about getting one, ince dont really have one. Also, i burn a hole in my couch down stairs with my hair strightner, so lately im batting 1000. Oh, and my Ststs. teacher i think does drugs. To day in class a girl asked him if he could go over the homework and he said he had no idea what the answers are, then we reviewed and the class correctrf 4 out of 5 problems he did on teh baord, so someone please tell me why he is teaching college stats?? Ok its late and i turned into a pumpkin when my reason for wearing make up moved to Tn. Night!

long time coming

Well for the ones of you reading this blog youre in for a treat...
This is long time coming.....
Im just saying, if it seems like im avoiding you, I probably am! Some people just annoy me. I try yo be kind and polite and whatever else, but they continue to be controling, ignorant and self-centered. For once I would like someone to to be a real, normal person, with problems and aches and pain not a fronted perfect little person. Is that seriously too much to ask? I have found out lately that striving for approval and accemptance only makes me want to be angry. Obviously im am struggling with bitterness right now. Sue me.

School...

The next 20 months of my life are going to be the most bust, dramatic, stressful, fun and just annoying 20 months ever! Nursing school start in about 5 days, Im ready to be done and I havent started, is that bad?!?! LOL. Other than that, Jeremiah is down in Cleveland TN, he goes to to LEE University, and seems to like it fine, which is great because I think I would be a lot more unhappy if I knew he was unhappy. I miss him, but we're fine! We'll see what happending these next 20 months!

My throat hurt too bad to swallow so I have been drinking hot tea and downing couch drops as well as blowing my nose ever other minute. So what else can you do in the middle of the night when you cant sleep....BLOG! LOL. goodness, tomorrow, well today i guess, im going over to Jeremiahs for a movie day since he just had his wosdon teeth taken out, all 4 of them. so I guess now were going to just be 2 pilesof patheticness watching movies and eating soft things! haha... were perfect for each other!im hoping to be able to see my doctor today, since i work at my doctors office that shouldnt be too tasking, but you never know. Any ways, im hoping to see one of the doctors this morning before they start seeing patients. Also, Im sneezing all of the time which is mainly why i cant seem to sleep at all. Its kinda weirs because I rarely sneezy, well, I do sneeze randomly like a normal person but never sneezing like every 5 minutes... any who thanks for reading my 4 in the morning rant.

MaroonMaiden (1:00:52 AM): hahah
JussAwesome (1:01:40 AM): lol. get some sleep.

I just though I would share with all of you the Instant Messaging conversation that my sister Rachel and I had about 20 seconds after I posted the previous blog, which was bout 3 mins. ago, but this was too cute and true to not use as my disclaimer!

ahh.

Well, all I can say is that is it 12:46 am. and I am blogging! I have missed the blogging world terribly! I know I had said that i would be better about blogging but this time I do infact, ahve a very good excuse. My sister Casey who is 15 had emergency surgery last Tuesday, he she she her appendix removed. She had never had any problems or sign until the night before she went it. My mothers appendix ruptured when she was 14, so ever since I was a wee one my mom has been uber careful with all of her kids when ever we are sick, well that was a good thing last week. Casey's appendix was so bad that the doctor said even waiting 8 more house could have been too much nad it might have ruptured, scary i know. But... she is well! She was a high risk case so she was in the hospital for 3 days but she is homenow healing very well!

Also my best friend Pookie (Nicole) is up here in North East visiting from allen town, which is about 8 hours away from here. She is here for 2 weeks! Goodness, were having so much fun! ...and taking lots of pictures... so i will post them when its not 1:00 am.

my apoligies...

so obviously i havent blogged in a while, and Im am so sorry! I have been outrageously busy! Goodness, I'll try to update yins from the past 2 months...

Well I graduated from High School, which was a huge relief and success! Although I am kinda nervious for Nursing School in the fall. Jeremiah and I are both busy with both of our families... If i could ask for some prayer for the both of us, Jeremiah and I, we just need some direction! I have recently stopped working as many hours as I was at the Dr.'s office, because it was jsut way too overwhelming!

My bubba ( great aunt who was pretty much my grama ) passed away a couple days before fathers day, so that was sad, although I miss her so much, she was an amazing woman of God and shes where she belongs. She had suffered from Lymphoma for many before she passed.

Now coming up... I will be traveling to SanAntonio Tx with my drama team the first week in July to compete nationally with 2 of our drmams that we took first with in our state compititions. That is really all I can think of for now... hopefully, it wont be 2 months before i get on here again...

Bishop Shope our state CE director gave us the 'ok' for our drama team to take not jsut one but both or our dramas to General Assembly, so that is really exciting, here are some picture of when we were st our state compition.

Finally...















Ok, I have finally found some time to blog. I have been so busy lately! I was in Lancaster for the past week for FCCLA (Family Career and Community Leaders of America). I was the annual State Leadership Confrence. I was so amazing! We had the keynote spears R5 Productions, http://www.r5online.com/default.htm , They were amazing! Basically theyre 3 guys in theier 20's who are truely blessed the ability to talk to youth about relevant issues and them actually listen and get it. You should really check them out! Also at the confrence was Jason Westerheide the 2008 FCCLA National President, he was great! Jason is a wonderful friends and I was proud to have served my term of office in FCCLA with him! On Thursday night we had a banquet honoring the State exectuve coucil and here are som pictures of us!...














Also, On friday my family and I headed over to New York City for the weekend. I had never been to the city before but is was so fun, I love travelingnad experiencing new things and different cultures. I know its weird to think about a place in the same country about 400 miles away can have a totally different culture, but is was really neat. But is was good to come home, After the 7th day I was tired of living out of a suit case!... LOL!







Also, My birthday was on Sunday and I got a pretty amazing gift. Well I did get many gift and thankyou to all that sent my gifts I loved them all, but I think you would agree that this one... it just kinda beat all the other....



Yes, that would be my promise ring from Jeremiah... its wonderful!

CAKE!

As most of you know, I work at a Doctors office. Well, wokring at a Doctors office has its perks, free/dicounted health care, good insurance, experience, ect. Well, Doctors offices usually, if there are between 25-35 empolyees, drug reps. will bring lunceveryday for the office, basically buying hte doctors time to sell their drug. Make sense? Well, while the Doctor meets with hte drug rep ever luch, the nurses eat luch too! So, yesterday a rep brough in 'O'Charley's' and it was wonderful, as luch usually is. But it was different yesterday..... We usually get dessert, cookies, maybe a cake, you know... reasonable dessert. Well, yesterday we had the most amazing chocolate cake. It was already sliced into slices the size of my face! It was amazing!!!! I took some pitures, after I had some of it.. LOL!...






See, comparatively, its huge!


fudgey goodness




All I have to say is delicious!



The fugde on the top was so heavy it kept falling off!



Well, I know I know, why post soley on a giant piece of chocolate cake? Well, its was a big part of my life,! ( at the time... LOL J/K!) Anywho, I love reading blogs of my friends kids and whats going on in thier lives, as well as my family checking mine to see what going on up here in almost-Canada. Just some light heartedness to help you on your way!

Fine Day


SO today, school was, well, school. I think am close to fully embody the term 'senioritis' right now. so inorder to keep up with my lack of will to do anything close to even resembling school work I picked up my favorite past time... Coke Zero!!!!!!... all I have to say is DELICIOUS! I dont love soda too much, and I dont drink it hardly at all.. but moms out of town and that means... the house is a mess and I can drink soda till my hearts content!
I do want my mom to come home, I miss her and Casey!

Monday, March 10, 2008

So We are, being- Hannah, Casey, Jeremiah, Eliz, and maybe mom & dad, and mom & dad Martin... not too sure the final count, are going to see Horton Hears a Who! Everyone should go, Dr. Seuss was known for writing about democracy, in this movie the Pro-Life message is basically screaming...please go support this movie! If you want to check more out about the Pro-Life movement- http://www.prolife.org.uk/index.... check it out.

(and I know this post #2 in one day... but it was needed!)



Reasoning......

Ok, Obviously, Blogging ... is well necessary. Hannah just "got" a new one and Mandi has a fabulous one soI felt left out. Now I dont have children, so I cant post pictures or silly stories of Air vent trash cans or baby news. But... college is soon and I sure this is nice way to keep people updated on my life rather than cheesey post cards or just not knowing. So thanks to Mandi and Hannah, im joining the club.

Also, God is really do awesome things in my life as well as my family and the people around me and I hope that sharing the things that he is doing will encourage all of you.
