CRAZY

I am working at my Aunts Motel this weekend because she wanted to go visit my Grandma in the hospital. It was supposed to be easy and uneventful. Well let's just say that it has been the most crazy hours of my life.

(first let me say that I was not supposed to do anything with the UHall part of it at all, we were just not going to rent out trailers because it is to hard to try to teach people how to do.)

(Also we are booked for both Friday and Saturday night because there is a horse and Gun show in town.)

Here are the events of the Day SO FAR:

1. A Lady comes to the front office to inform me that she is not leaving her hotel room, because her sister passed away, and she was told by my aunt that there would be room for her. Well I guess my Aunt must have forgot that we were already booked up for the weekend. She started crying telling me that there was no other place for her to go.

2. A UHall truck comes in. In my head I am thinking Oh S**** what am I going to do know. Well they then tell me that there truck is not working right. The back end wont open so they cant get any of the stuff out of the back end. Well being as smart as I am I give them the 1-800 number of UHall repairs. Then they come in and tell me that they want me to give them a day free because they are not going to be able to have the truck back in the time that it was due back because they had to get it fixed. I then gave them another 1-800 number to the main UHall branch so that they could talk to them. So hopefully the get a extra day so I don't have to deal with that till tomorrow.

3. Last night the Police department brought in a lady to stay at the motel. Well I think that her husband was hitting her so she took off in her truck with her dog. Well she got pulled over because of the way that she was driving. It turns out that her licenses was suspended. Instead of giving her a ticket they brought her to the motel to stay so that she could be a way from her husband. Well she left the next morning with out paying. About two hours later she shows back up at the motel with her dog. She has crippling arthritis, so she has to walk with a cane. Not to mention the fact that her dog is pulling her. She asked to use are phone because she needs to get a ride. About an hour later her HUSBAND show up to get her. She comes to give me a hug and to thank me for my help. She then tells me if he hits her to call the police. I ask her if is safe for her to go with him, I told her that we could get her another rife to wherever she wants to go. She tells me that she will be alright because she has her pepper spray. Then gets in the truck and they drove off.

4. Then another UHall truck comes. In but this time I have to check them in so I call another 1-800 number and ask them if they can talk me through. I was able to do it with there help and everything was ok.

Hopefully nothing else crazy happens today. We have no more rooms to rent out so the Door Bell should not ring to much more! :)

I love My Grandma!!! :)

Just wanted to say thank you to anyone who was praying for my Grandma. Her surgery went good and right now she is in recovery. Hopefully I will get a chance to go see her. Thanks again to anyone who waws praying for her it really means a lot. :)

Rain

I love rain! :) Except when it causes water to come into by basement. Then I really don't like it that much at all. We have a plumber coming tomorrow so hopefully everything will work out. I had a great day today, I was able to hang out with the Potters, and then my cousin Shelby. But the best part of the day was hanging out with Cole. I have missed spending time with her so it was great to hang out hopefully we can make Wednesday nights and Cole and Kirsten night.

My Grandma is having her surgery tomorrow morning (Thursday) at 5:00am. I said earlier that I wasn't nervous but well now I am. I guess today I was just thinking about her not being around and I started to cry. She is the rock of our family the one that holds the rest of us together. When ever there is a fight with family members, she gets the peace back. We also all talk to her about everything. I don't think that there is anything that she doesn't know about me. So please pray that everything goes great.

Weekend

This weekend was great!!! I was able to go to my sisters Thursday-Monday and spend time with her my brother-in-law and best of all my niece. I post some pictures later. She really has developed a great personality; I can really see both Casey and Keith in her. She loves animals and reading books, I must have spent at least two hours each day just reading books to her. Some of them I read over and over and over.

I have a prayer request my Grandma is going to have open heat surgery to repair two of her valves in her heart. The reason that her valves are blocked is because about two years ago she had radiation for her breast cancer. It's funny how something that is done to help one thing can cause harm with another thing. I am not that nervous though because my grandma is not nervous at all she is so excited to have this surgery. She is happy because after she has healed completely from this surgery she should have a lot more energy. The surgery is Thursday morning at 5:00am. So for the next few days I will be helping my Aunt out at the Motel because my grandparents won’t be there. Wish me luck!!!

Gilmore Girls

I love Gilmore Girls, especially because I get to watch it every Tuesday night with my roommate and good friend Hillary. We are both so into the show that it is crazy, we have even both entered a contest to win a trip for two to the set. We promised that if either of us won we would take each other. So if you want you can pray that one of us wins!!! Just kidding but sending a little luck our way would be nice.

OK I have decided that I want to Marry a Luke as in Luke Gains from Gilmore what a perfect man. Affectionate, Funny and an outdoors man. Not to mention that he is Laid back, but at the same time he is set in his ways. He remembers the little things. A lot like my Dad.

More of New Orleans

Here Are some more pictures of New Orleans!!!! These pictures are from the swamp tour that we went on it was awesome!

Take my breath away

I was raised to love sports, and for those of you that have had the pleasure of going to a MSU sporting event with me know that at time I can get a little involved in the games. I have been know to get loud (louder than I normally Am) , today was no exception, while watching the football game MSU v.s. Notre Dame is was all over the place. On the Picnic Tables, pacing in circles and in the last drive I was on the floor. In the end MSU came through with the win.

New Orleans

OK so for all of you that don't know I went to New Orleans earlier this summer. So I thought that I would post some pictures of the New Orleans that I will always remember. It was an awesome vacation, that I will never forget. So here they are!!!

Ok I think I have the pic thing figured out!!!!

More pics

She is thinking about eating the sand

Lyndsey loves water!!!!

Having her first ride on a motercyle!!

I told her to kiss the camara

She decided that the sand looked good enough to eat

OK I hope this works

Lyndsey found a catapiller she was in aww!!

Trying to get back

I am trying to get back into this whole blog thing. Even if no one reads it I just like being able to write things down for me. But for all of you that do read it, it's for you to. Now if I could just figure out how to get pics up that would be great.

I love my Niece Lyndsey!!! She makes me laugh! :)

Long Time

I have been gone from this for a long time. This summer has been so busy that I am surprised that I even survived. I really haven't seen anyone this summer but hopefully with school starting and my schedule getting less busy, I will be able to see people more.

Today will be busy though I have to help my Aunt with My cousins, they need to be taken and picked up from sports. Since my Grandma and Grandpa are down in Ohio today she need help. So I offered. I love my cousins so it really wont be bad at all. Well it is getting close to that time where the picking up and dropping off begins so I got to get going.

Summer

ok I have been gone from this for a long time. But I have been busy. I am so glad that summer is finally here. Even though it is 90 degrees in my duplex because of the lack of air conditioning. It is much better than it being cold. So many great things are coming up this month. From bachlorette parties to weddings to vacations. It is going to be a great month. OK this is all I have time for now.

Weddings

Well the Summer of Weddings is soon beginning. It is so exciting!!! I don’t think that I have even had this many weddings to go to in the time span of one year. All the mail that I have received at my new Duplex has either been for a bachelorette party, Bridal Shower, or a Wedding. My roommates have been laughing at me over all the weddings that I have this summer. It feels like every single weekend I either have a wedding to go to or a bridal shower or a bachelorette party. This leaves me with very busy weekends which can be a good or a bad thing. The best thing though, is that fact that the one week that I have a vacation planed there is no wedding stuff that I have to go to at all that week. It actually turned out really well. Also the fact that some of the weddings are for me and a guest and well since I am not dating anyone I have to try to find someone to bring. The last wedding I went to my cousin came with me as my guest. We did have a lot of fun together so it wasn’t too bad after all.

Busy

I have been busy!!!!!! And by busy I mean busy really busy. I feel like I have been running a million miles a minute. From working, to trying to get my duplex in order, it is starting to drive me crazy. I am so ready for a stress free week. I not sure why but the last couple of weeks have been extremely stressful. I have started my week off good though. Sunday I went to a Chris Tomlin, Casting Crowns and Steven Curtis Chapman concert with my two cousins and a friend. The Concert was great and really relaxing just what I needed. The Last night was 24 which is always a relaxing time. I was able just to sit down for a while and just relax. There was no one opening the front door every 5 minuets, no one yelling for the channel to be changed or for the volume to be turned up or down. It was just mellow which was exactly what I needed. I also got a really good night sleep and I am at the potters right now Mallory and Marah are eating breakfast and Macy and Meah are sleeping and last but not least Micah is at school. Then I work at the Twist tonight. I so glad that I have small group tonight I feel bad because I have missed like the past three weeks but I am going tonight hopefully before small group I can go for a walk with Bethany we are trying to start walking together hopefully at least four or five times a week. On a even happier not I only had to pay 8 dollars of my own money to fill up my gas tank because my cousin got me a $25 gas card for my birthday so a full tank of gas and I only personally paid $8 I think that is great. Ok well I have to get them started on school work.


I hope that everyone who reads this has a stress free week as well.

Spring Break

Well according to the computer it is 70 degrees outside. Which is a good and a bad thing. It is great because I love the worm weather but it is a bad thing because Mason has a half day of school today and there are only two of u s working tonight at the Twist which means that we will be really busy and I wont get out of there till late tonight. My aunt and cousins and grandparents are leaving on Thursday fro Florida which means I will be holding the fort down at the twist most likely I will be there from open till close most of the next week. It stinks because I will b e working all day long on my birthday. Not the best way to spend a birthday but I guess it will have to do. I have to look on the bright side and realize that I will have tons of great dessert fro my birthday!!! Not that I can’t have it everyday that I work. I can't really take advantage of it because I have too many wedding that I am going to this summer and one wedding that I am in. So as much as I would love to eat it everyday I can’t. So if you get bored at all this week you know where to find me and hopefully it will be nice and worn out the rest of the week. If it snows again I think that I am going to have to move to Hawaii. Which by the way my sister and brother-in-law are going on Vacation for 10 days. I was supposed to be going with them but that didn’t work out. Instead I get to help my parents watch my niece Lyndsey.

Well the sun is out and the birds are singing. It finally feels like we may have a chance for some warm weather. I realized yesterday as I was sitting on my front porch with Hillary how much I enjoy the Sun. I don’t think that I would be happy living somewhere where the sun didn't shine that much. We were sitting outside out front door just laying there enjoying the sun shining on our faces. It felt so good; we started talking about all our great plans for our house this summer. And all the stuff that we need to get done before the summer really starts.

1. Re paint the front door

2. Re seed the front lawn (the people who lived there before us had two great Danes and well needless to say the dog kind of wrecked havoc on the front lawn.)

3. Get a new mail box; I think that the mail man would appreciate one that was not old and rusty.

4. Get new address numbers for the outside of the house so that you can actually see our address from street.

5. Plant a flower garden. Right now the one that is there has some flowers starting to poke through the ground but it also has a lot of weeds.

6. Re-stain the back porch.

7. Clean up the underneath of the porch. (The last people to live there left a lot of crap)

8. Get a picnic table

9. Buy a grill

We plan on having a lot of barbeques this summer, so we need a grill to cook with and something to sit on.



OK and that is just the outside of the house there is another huge list for the inside but only one thing at a time. At least that is what I keep telling myself.

If anyone knows anyone who is selling a washer and/or a dryer please let me know.

Happy Easter

Today instead of going to Church at Riverview I went to the Church that I grew up in with my family. Today my cousin Blake was baptized. I was really proud of him because he was so nervous. It made me remember when I got baptized like Blake I was baptized on Easter Sunday, my and my other Cousin Rick were baptized on the same day. We wanted to get baptized at the early service so that there would not be as many people in church. Looking back on that now I find it really funny. I was so happy for Blake because the whole family was there. All his Aunts and Uncles and cousins from our side of the family were there, I think that is the first time in like 10 years since we have all been there at one time. That in itself in a answer to pray.

Ok so today both guys and girls MSU Basketball play so lets cheer on our teams today!!!
GO GREEN!!!!! GO WHITE!!!!!

oh and really good news me and Shelby might be able to be camp counselors together this summer how exciting!!!
