Where did June go?

Well ya'll I'm still here...just slightly busy...promise! First off I have to give honor where horor due...HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to the VERY BEST DADDY in the WORLD! You are the best and I love you you so so so so so much!

School is going great! 4 weeks down and 20 more to go!!! Yee Haw! =) I'm now CPR certified- can't wait for you too see "my man Charles" (my manican)...yeah!...My nose is blackened by text book ink! I've learned so much and am enjoying the learning experience quite nicely. As I said before my teacher has a great personality and an incredible sense of humor, so in the midst of Slab off Math, terminology such as bulbar, miosis, hemangioma, canaliculitis, cataract nigra, anophthalmos, and blennorrhea, I am finding a moment or two to enjoy life and a love for pupillometers. =) lol
Church has been incredible lately. I am so glad to be apart and involved in the Kingdom "for such a time as this". God is breaking down doors and windows are flying open. Even with smoke heavy in the air the light of truth is shining. M242 is pumped for the fall semester and can't wait to be up and hitting classrooms and universities full force. There's a new bus route up and running and kids are going crazy waiting for Sunday to come! The choir is growing and having a great time, esp at our First Annual Rock Church Choir Grammy's(oh however you spell it =-)

And drum roll....to answer many questions, emails, text messages, blog comments and any other rumors....Yes Joey and I hold a barcode, as some call it =), We are an item... after much prayer and council, Joey went to my daddy and pastor and was given permission for him and I to court! =) Its such a different feeling, something I never imagined. Tears just fill my eyes each time I think how blessed I am to have a Godly man in my life, and hopefully will be there forever in my future. He puts God first every morning, and he encourages me to do the same. We laugh everyday as we comment on how we said,"NEVER, Never will I ever date her/him. We are like best friends!" But our happy little friendship grew into something more, soemthing unexpected and yet expected at the same time and its been awesome. We've learned alot about our parents and ourselves. Its a learning experience, a new challenge, but its been fun. Only God and time will reveal what will become of this relationship =)...

Well, you got it all now,... well may not all of it, you know the day to day details of life, like cleaning your bathroom, laundry, and so on and so forth, but you get the gist, Life has been busy! Well, Pray for me and Joey, he has been assigned a new job in Arlinda, or something like that. Its a town about 2 1/2 hours away towards the coast. Its a 3 month project and he'll be leaving every Monday morning and returning late Thursday evenings. =( So we'll get to see each other on the weekends after I get off of work. Its a hard deal, but its good for us. "Distance makes the heart grow fonder" right!? =)
Well, that's all for now folks....take care and God Bless!

Regarding the Silence....

Sorry folks life has been SOOOO crazy busy! Please forgive my absence. But I have a logical (thanks for the word Joey) explanation as to why...... I quit me job the end of May, and my precious lab top cord has seen better days-in other words I can't turn my lap top on....I went on a mini vacation to Coos Bay, OR to visit Karissa and Adam and then started school June 2nd. Between school, Signs of Praise, Sunday School, Childrens Ministry, church, family, weddings, choir, drama, looking for a job, studying for exams and Sunday School I am barely having time to take of myself so once again I apologize for my lack of interest in the blog world.

I am currently studying to be an Optician and will graduate the first week of December! =) In a week I already have learned so much! I didn't know how much math I was getting myself into, but I have a wonderful study partner who is exceptional in math! =) I have an incredible teacher her name is Julie Middleton and she is so funny! Great personality and a beautiful spirit!

Well, there is so much more to tell, but I'll just let pictures do their part....

any questions just email me! =)
