I went to a local flower show (having issues uploading the pics)with my bestest friend. Then we went up to visit her mom and their dogs, Rocky, Sammy & Missy.

V-Day Surprise

My honey surprised me this Valentine's Day. We normally don't exchange gifts as our love is a gift (gag me with a spoon, LOL) Anyway, he came home with a gift bag which had a cute stuffed pig that had a heart with the saying Hogs and Kisses (since I work at Hatfield Meats, and a tea cup warmer for my work and the kind of tea I like at Starbucks. It brought tears to my eyes. I love David so much! Sometimes I think I don't deserve him but I thank God that he is in my life....

5 Weird Habits

I need to keep up with Tricia....so here we go. My 5 weird habits are as follows:

1. I sleep with a teddy bear (no not my husband)
2. Syrup cannot touch my breakfast meat (but I love maple flavored sausage)
3. My hysterical laugh (only few have witnessed)
4. The fact I need to pick the opposite of everyone else (ex. Seahawks...)
5. May not be a habit, but the fact that after the many years of my daughter being a cheerleader and countless times people try to explain the game of football. I just don't get it....nor do I want to!

There, now this is done! Whewwww......Next is the timeline....but I need time :)

Where has January gone?

My last post was New Year's Day and now it is almost the end of January. I feel like January was a blur. On January 2nd, my Sarah's 13th birthday, I took David to the ER for severe pain in his left side (where his colon surgery was) Long story short, it was his appendix. He spent 5 days in ICU and another 5 days in the telemetry unit (heart) He was a very sick man. Throughout this whole ordeal, I always found something I could praise God for in this situation. I am so thankful I had my bestest friend Tricia with me and helping me during this time. I don't know what I would have done without her. He is home and back to work and still getting back to 100%. Myself, after he came home I got a cold and have felt like crap up to and including today. Still don't feel 100%....and it is almost the end of January. Wow time can fly even if you are not having fun!

Happy New Year!

On New Year's Eve our Church's teen group got together for a game night. I was not looking forward to it, but it turns out I had a lot of fun, plus I spent the night with my bestest friend too! Danielle wasn't there, I wish she was, but she worked and slept over her friends house. This was my second sober New Year's Eve...Praises! Welcome to a New Year. My baby will be a teenager tomorrow :) And starting January 3rd, I joined the gym at work....so I will start getting fit!

First week accomplished!

Well I finished my first week at my new job! What a difference!!! Hatfield Meats has such a pleasant, Christian atmosphere and my co-workers are wonderful. I picked up the work easily which has really impressed my supervisor Wendy and the controller, Steve, is a Dale Jr. fan too! Everyone is happy that I am there and so am I. It feels almost too good to be true....what a far cry from what I weathered for the past seven years. Praise God for this job :)

Art Museum Trip

I went to the Art Museum today after Church with our youth group. I haven't been there since I was 12 years old. I really enjoyed it. My favorite exhibit was the armour and the asian artifacts. Tonight we have David's Christmas party at work and tomorrow I start my new job! Til then...

Rupert

This is my puppy Rupert! He is a year old black lab/pit bull mix. I took Rupy today to get his picture with "Santa Paws" and what a time we had! My poor Rupert is afraid of Santa. Yes, I said afraid. It took all of us a while to get him to get somewhat close to Santa then he took hold of Rupert and they snapped the picture. I think I just traumatized my poor pooch :(

Last day in this chapter...

Friday was my last day at United Electric. I've worked there for seven years. After moving to Hatfield, the commute has been so long and have felt unchallenged among other things. I start a new job at Hatfield Meats on Monday. My last day was emotional, I felt bad leaving but know that I will start a new chapter in my life now. I was sent flowers from a co-worker Michael who I would occasionally give rides to, the other flowers are from another co-worker "Chrissy" who was a really good pal at work and I shall miss him, he would always make me smile or laugh, plus we both dislike Jeff Gordon. I will miss several people there but won't miss the other stuff that contributed me to leave... 

Hello

I thought I would start my own blog since my bestest friend has one too! Soooo....here we go!
