Happy Birthday Mom!





So today was my mom's birthday and we all got together to have dinner and cake and ice cream. My sister and nephews made the cake and it was great, that is after we lit it on fire with all those candles! After eating we played on the Wii and had a good time chatting.
Happy Birthday mom! Thanks for all you do for me!

My New Hobby

In the past few months I have started making beaded lanyards. Since I work for a health care facility and we are SUPPOSED to wear our badges I thought it would be nice to have something cute to have it on so people don't focus on my picture. :) JK. But seriously they have been a big hit and I've started selling them for $10 each. I was using elastic but I decided I didn't like it anymore and now I've changed to a "hybrid" wire that I'm really liking.

Time For An Update!

So what's been going on with me? Well, currently I am going to the DACT to get my CNA. I started at the end of August and will be done by early November. Still working at Orchard Cove as a receptionist but I'll be starting as a NA probably next week. Which I'm excited for cause it will give me alot of insight before I even take my test. I'm going to start getting my pre-recs for nursing at SLCC in the spring semester and once I have that done I'll probably go back to the DATC for my actual LPN and RN. Other then that there is a little romance brewing. :) There is a boy I work with that I kind of have a thing for, his name is Ben. We've gone out once and are going to go out again. And you all should be totally proud of me cause I'M the one who asked both times. So we shall see how that progresses. I REALLY like him, and honestly I can see myself married to him. So cross your fingers for me.
Morph
I just wish boys didn't make it so freaking HARD! Seriously, what do I look like a mind reader! Help me out here!
Well thats it really. I lead a boring life, what can I say. Bored

Boating Trip

Today my family went to Pine View Reservoir and took our boat out. This was a great outing for us cause EVERYBODY was able to go, and thats weird for us. It was tons of fun, but I'm freaking toasted. As white as I was before I'm now red instead. All of us seemed to have gotten burnt even though we put on tons of sun screen.
That's Josh swimming in the lake. That kid is a freaking fish!Jaxon driving the boat and picking his nose. For some reason almost every time I tried to take this picture his finger went straight for the nose. Weird.However he did give me one big smile. :) Little monster!This is Josh riding in the tube. 4 years old and braver then me, I would never let myself be pulled behind a boat!Thats our boat, and it has been fun having it although I haven't really been out on it all that much. Today was probably the first time in two years. So even though I have a wicked bad sun burn, and by the way I DID use sun screen many times, it was totally worth it. Hopefully I'll be able to go out one more time before the season is over. With my new schedule that just might be possible. I think I spent more time with my family this weekend then I have in the last three months, and it was great. I highly reccomend it!

John Edward

Today my parents and I went to see John Edward at Capitol Theatre. For those of you who have never heard of him, John Edward is a psychic who can communicate with the dead. Crazy I know but when you see him at one of these shows its hard not to believe that it's all true and honestly feels better to believe in it. If you ever get a chance to see one of his shows or read one of his books you should.

Rockers Reunion 2008

On August 2nd my family held their annual family reunion. This year was my moms sides turn to hold it, and my family decided to do a 50's theme.


I was freaking out being up on those chairs! I hate heights, even standing on a chair freaks me out.
We got to the hall at about 7:45 that morning to begin setting up for the afternoon. We started by setting up the tables and chairs and then we began hangging records and streamers from the ceiling. By the time we were done it looked great!


With as many kids as there always are you have to have games to keep them occupied. We had a balloon dart board, ring toss, musical chairs, a tug of war, and a water balloon fight (it was freaking HOT!).

"May all the days of all the years that God has still in store be filled with every joy and grace to bless you more and more; May hope of heart and peace of mind beside you ever stay, and that's the golden wish I have for you, this Reunion Day!"- A Reunion Blessing

After games it was time for food. We had hamburgers and hotdogs, and of course with it being so hot out we had ice cream delivered by our lovely "waitresses", my cousins, aren't they CUTE! :)

Uncle's Jim, Matt, and Jerry. Three of my moms brothers. Missing is Andy, he was there just didn't get a picture.
Uncle Marlin, married to my Aunt Joan my mom's oldest sibling, and cousin Stacie. Dylan off to the side.
Cousins Jessie, Garrett (his mom married my Uncle Matt), and Chad. Chad married Stacie in March. Congrats you two!
Papa Ray! My moms dad.
The part I love the best is being able to see all my family! I don't get this kind of oppurtunity very often and I was thrilled to have been able to make it back for this reunion. I have 16 first cousins and about 20 second cousins, and I can finally name all my first cousins! Their kids are going to take some time, there are just too many of them!

Unimportant Things About Me!

Okay here are the rules:
1. You link back to the person who tagged you
2. Post these rules on your blog
3. Share six unimportant things about yourself
4. Tag six random people at the end of your entry
5. Let the tagged people know by leaving a comment on their blogs
6. Enjoy the results!


Ok six unimportant things about me.....

1. I have to be at least 15 minutes early for anything; work, school, anything.

2. I have a natural inability to say "no" to people. Even if I don't want to do what they ask me to do I'll still say "yes". Really a pain in the butt sometimes.

3. I have to have all my DVD's alphabatized. If I had it my way all the books in our computer room would be alphabatized as well, but mom won that battle:(.

4. I have to have all my clothes folded a certain way. My mom has folded my laundry for me and I unfolded all of it and re-folded it my way.

5. If I'm sitting somewhere out in public, a baseball game, resturant, swimming pool, ect., I sit and watch people. I just like to observe people and see what they do in different situations. It's really fun actually.

6. I'm a little OCD, I have to have things in the right place. For those of you who know me from work, it comes down to the coke machine. I could spend hours takeing things out of it and putting them back in the correct spot. I hate it when something is in the wrong spot!


Well thats all I can think of. I don't have six people to tag but I tag Amber, Krista, and Caria. They are the only ones who haven't been tagged that I know that have blogs. :)
