Just a place, to sit down and write out my thoughts.

It's a Girl!!

2007-09-05T02:00:00.000-04:00

Time is just flying by. I just started the fall semester at TCC, I am finishing up my pre-requsites for the R.N nursing school. That has been my dream since childhood. I am now working at Starbucks and loving it!! I am so excited to announce the birth of Clara Elizabeth Overholser. My oldest brother Matthew and his wife Melody are the proud parents. She was born on 7-28-07 and I was there 4 days after she was born. She is precious, and I am truly the proud aunt. Life is pretty exciting around here, I am so excited about what God has in store for my life in these next years to come.

Moving Out!

Times really are changing......

I know God has a plan for our family, but at times it is hard trusting and seeing that God is control. On Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007 my parents 23 years of marriage were officially dissolved in the Leon county court house. We all prayed for a miracle, for God to change my Mom's heart in some way, but clearly her mind was made up. Because Florida is a no-fault/no contest divorce state, my Dad had no say in the divorce and it went thru without him signing the divorce papers.

We had to sell our home on 3276 Majestic Prince Trl, and God was gracious enaugh to bring us a buyer who baught it for the asking price. It was on the market less than two weeks! What a blessing, especially this time of year! We continue to see God's hand in this situation, even though our hearts our truly broken for my parents and the loss of their marriage and the unity of our family. I will be living with my Dad for a little longer while I am still in school at Tallahassee Commmunity College.

Our realtor called us after weeks of searching for a house, but to no avail. She said she had found a wonderful house in Killearn Acres (Arbor Hills),and that it was not even on the market yet. We went and looked at it, and absaloutly loved it. It's just what we have been looking for, it's been recently renovated and it's BEAUTIFUL! Even though we would love to stay in the house we are in now, God has provided us with another home to move to. It will be a fresh start, a new leaf to turn over in our lives.

Just wanted to keep ya'll updated on our family, and to thank you all that have been loving, praying, and supporting our family through this extremely difficult time. Your support and prayers, have been felt by us all. We are looking to the future in hopeful anticipation to see what God will contiue to do in and through these times.

Fall 2006

2006-11-06T21:16:00.000-05:00

God is always up to something isin't he? Just when you get comfortable with the way things are in your life, God just up scoot you along.....I had surgery on Monday morning to remove a melanoma spot from my upper back, that I had discovered two weeks ago. I went to see a Dermatalogist and sure enaugh, we had a problem! Thank the Lord though, we discovered the area in enaugh time, and removed it quickly. I've been out of work, and trying to get back on my feet. One of the great perks of working full time is having ENCREDIBLE health insurance, which I am so gratefule for. Things with my parents are about the same, we are waiting to hear back from my Mom's lawyer are far as when the court day will be, but we still pray for God's intervention till then. He will be glorified in this situation, and we will trust in him!!!

Tooo Looonng!

I know people always say this, but it has been months since my last post. A lot has been going on with me. I've been looking for a new job, I finally got some direction in my life and descided to go back to school and finish my associates of science at TCC. I have been working full time as the office manager for Dr. Van Tassel's office, here is a local Chiropractor here in town, and also the physian for the Florida State Seminoles Athletics. Pretty cool, I get to meet all the atheletes.... Cha Ching! I am looking for a part time job, sometime like 25+ hrs a week, just to cover my bills. God has been refining my family thru fire, some of you might not no that my mom is divorcing my Dad. She left our home a couple months ago, we had been trying to talk with her, and to get her to come home but she has recieved some pretty bad counsel down in Tampa, Fl where she is now. Please pray for my family, Florida is a non-contest/no fault state in that my Dad does not have to sign the divorce papers in order for them to go thru. Unless God interviens, my parents will be divorced in a matter of weeks. This was a very hard thing for me to post, but I wanted to be honest and earnestly ask prayer for my family. WE are all seeking God in the midst of the storm, but it has been and will continue to be a challenge. Thank ya'll for your prayers, that are GREATLY appreciated!

Welcome to the world, Matthew James Overholser

I'm An AUNT!!!

2006-05-12T22:39:00.000-04:00

I know I have not posted in like forever. I guess sometimes it is just easier to facebook or myspace. :) Well a lot has gone on since I last posted. I am getting ready to start a new job on Monday. I will be working full time now for another Chiropractor in town. However, I will be the office manager now instead of working with the patients as a Chiropractic Assitant. The pay and benfits are great! I had been praying for a while about the Lord providing some $$$$ to be able to purchase a car. He is my prayers in the form of a beautiful silver VOLVO, given to me just a few weeks ago. It has been such a blessing already, and I am so grateful to be able to have reliable transportation. Two weeks ago, I recieved a call on my cell phone about 2:30am, and I was thinking who could that be??? Well, it was my brother informing me that I has just become an aunt. My brother and his wife Melody of 4 yrs were expecting a little boy on may 7th. God had other plans for that little man, and he made his entrance a few weeks early. Well I literally fell out of bed in excitement, and asked them when I could come and see him. That was on Thurs, and by Friday afternoon I was on my way down to Orlando, were they are living now. I made it to the hospital in record time, and got to see and hold little matthew james. It was truly an amazing thing seeing him, he was so small but perfect. The gift of life is truly a miracle, and how people look at children and say there is no God, is beyond my comprehension. Anyways. Since then I have been down there for a week, and got to spend some good times with my neph. That's pretty much all for now. I will continue to update more often and will post some more pictures soon. Peace!

2006-01-06T22:39:00.000-05:00

Trent and Jamee...Yes, he's a a wright

Overholser's Christmas Day 2005

2006-01-06T22:24:00.000-05:00

Once again, I am a little behind on the times as far as posting. I just have the hardest time making myself sit down and post stuff. Guess it does not really excite me like it used it.....he he he :) Well here is our Christmas in a nutshell, we were all together this year all accept Matthew and Melody. Jonathan and Jennifer spent their 1st Christmas with us as newlyweds. Stephen came over from his house over off of mission road, and Sarah drove over from her home in JAX, FL for the week. Trent and Jamee still live in Tallahassee, and were able to come over Christmas day as well. It was a full house, but a joy for all of us to be together. :)
We watched the ultrasound video of our 1st grandbaby, who we found out is a boy!!! The 3-D pictures were amazing and we could actually see his little face. Life, what a blessing it is to see in it's beginning form. Little Jr. O will be arriving some time around the 1st week of May, if God see's to it that the DOCS were right in estimating time of birth. HA!!!
I will close for now, great to be 20 now. I had a birthday on January 1st, which is always a fun way to ring in the new year. I pray God's blessing on ya'll live's in this special year of 2006!!!

At night it has been getting down to the 30's, and in the day time we've been hitting around the 60's or so. NICE!!! I don't know about ya'll, but this is my absaloute favorite time of the year. Sadly enaugh we will be heading back to Tally here in the next couple of hours. Gotta get back, ya know since I have 2 papers, 1 test and one midterm on Tuesday!!!!!!! CRAZYYYY!

2005-10-08T00:09:00.000-04:00

Good evening, or I guess good morning is more in order since it is already 12:10am. I am sitting here trying to burn time with my brother jonathan and his fiance Jennifer get here. I am so excited! They are on their way now from Atlanta, Ga to hang with us for the weekend. Stephen got us the amjor hook up through one of his friends, and we got 40 yard line tickets to today's game vs. Wake Forest. I have a family that I baby-sitt for so they can go to the game, and I was able to get off this time so I could actually go to the game instead of watching it on tv. It will be fun though, just hope it will be good weather. I can't believe how fast this semester has gone by. It seems like just the other day we were starting school, and now a lot of us are taking midterms......Crazy! In a super good way though, because it means that Thanksgiving & Christmas are coming soon! In preparation for Jonathan and Jennifer's arrival, I was busy doing stuff around the house. I got down all my thanksgiving/halloween things and were placing them all around the house. It really got me in the mood for some nice cool weather. Which hopefully we will be getting some soon. I am so pumped to report that I made my 1st 100% on my math quiz on Thursday. I WAS TOTALLY FLIPPING OUT! Needless to say, that was a much needed boost in my favor. :)~ Well while things are quite I might actually catch up on some scrap booking. After all, weekends are good for that kind of thing. Hope everybody is well, a shout out to my awesome PCBS girls, you know who you are....he he he j/k Later!

Congrats Guys, I love you both!

2005-09-06T23:35:00.000-04:00

We're Getting Married!!!

2005-09-06T23:14:00.000-04:00

I was so encouraged tonight and I was reading James McDonald's book, "Lord, Change My Attitude (Before It's Too Late". It has been really thought prevoking for me. I am in chapter six which talks about replacing a critical attitude with.....an attitude of love. WOW! ! 1 Corinthians 13:1-8 a. " If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude,it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in good. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails....

I know I know, how many times have we heard that before. But, I want to challenge you to go beyond the surface of the feely good stuff and really dig deep into what God is saying. This is a love that is not just for friends or family, but also for aquaintances, & enemies and those that get on our nerves. :)~ How many times did Jesus love in the midst of being persacuted??? I have nowere near come close to this unconditional (agape) love, but how awesome it is for us to have a the truest example of what true love should be like.

Fall Semester 2005!

2005-08-29T11:20:00.000-04:00

Man I can't believe that fall semester has come up so fast. It seems like just the other day that we were getting out for summer. (Sigh) We must press on though, school will EVENTUALLY be a thing of the past for us. YEA!! *I am definetly seeing a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel*
As of now, I am taking 9 hours which is actually okay for me. I was hoping to pick up one more class, but it's not looking too good right now.
I am excited about starting a new semester, as far as meeting new people and getting involed in some college groups. (Hey Jenna and Calyn, let me know how crusade goes on Tuesday night, K)

I had a super great weekend. I was off Friday from work which was nice. Friday night I had my Mary Kay debut which I thought turned out GREAT! I was so glad to have Calyn, Jenna and Katie Greenwell there. Ya'll are the bomb!
Then Jenna and Calyn spent the night with me which was fun. I was house sitting for my boss for the weekend so it was nice being able to do whatever we wanted and just chill.
Saturday was the more relaxing day ever. I spent the day watching movies and laying out by the pool.
Man it does not get any better than that.

Now I have to face reality and wake up bright and early and start school. Oh the joys!!
But I do need to go since I am still at work.
Hope you all are doing great! Have a great semester!!!

Wow, I think this truly must be the longest I have put off posting on my blog. I don't know why it seems to be such a difficult thing, I guess it is just making the time to sit down for a while and write about the things that have been going on in your corner of the world. Things with me have been going well, I have continued to work steadily at Dr.Miller's and have been enjoying it very much. July 18th-23rd, I was given the awesome honor and priveledge to be able to accompany my dear friend Karen on an awesome week long vaca to DISNEY WORLD!!! It was my 1st time and it was truly a magical experience.We did all 4 parks, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, MGM Studios, and las but not least Epcot. We took about a roll a day and now will have to pay for that, but we are doing some major scrap booking at the church on Friday night @ 6:00pm, *hope to see ya'll there* Then I came home, worked for a week and then headed back out of town. This time to the cowboy boot state of Dallas Texas. Since becoming a Mary Kay beauty consultant, I have been looking forward to this confrence for a couple months. It only comes once a year, and it's a time were all the ladies in Mary Kay get together and have training times and banquets and you get prizes and jewerly for all your accomplishments during the year. My mom and my didter jamee went, along with my awesome brother in law Trent. Flying was an experience for sure, and I was glad to get off the plane.
My sister just won the awesomely beautiful 2006 PINK Cadillac which will be arriving in the next 2 months. We had a lot to celebrate, that's for sure.
So now all the exciting stuff is gone, I am back to working....YEEEHAW! It has been nice to be back on a schedule though, I like to know what to expect and stuff.
It's been a pretty slow morning here around the office, so I am trying to get some little dippy stuff done. :)
Stephen my bro has a friend down from Virginia staying with us for the week, and we have been having a good time hanging out with him.
We went out and got Ice Cream last night and then rented "Hitch". I had already seem that movie, but it was just as good the 2nd time. Will Smith did an awesome job in that movie. he he he

I wanted to ask ya'll to keep me accountable because I have set a large goal to attain by the end of December. Because I WILL be working my Mary Kay buisness, my goal is to earn the use of awesome 2006 Pontiac Vibe. It is a big goal, but I know I can do it. Don't let me wimp out.

Well things are picking up around here so I am going to have to close for now. I will post some pics soon from Disney and my trip to Dallas. Hope ya'll had an awesome summer too, sorry it is so quickly coming to an end.

Love you Guys!!

How about them canes...??? Hurricanes that is

2005-07-08T22:05:00.000-04:00

I can't believe that it has almost been a whole year since those 3 disatrous hurricanes hit Florida. So much devistation they caused, and loss of many lives. As we approach this hurricane season I have really been burdoned to pray for those that will potentially be in the eye of the storm. I have been staying busy working, and trying to do a little Mary Kay on the side. It has been great to have my brother Jonathan and his girlfriend Jennifer here for the week visiting us from Atlanta. They are great people, and it's always fun to have extra people in the house. I am looking forward to a nice layed back weekend. This week was pretty crazy, Dr. Miller's office was closed on Monday so we were double booked on Tuesday and the rest of the week since we were closed. I am really getting excited about my trip to Disney with Karen!!! We are going to have such a blast. We are leaving Sunday the 17th, and will be returning sometime on Thursday the 21st. It will be so nice to have some time off since I have been working full time this summer without any time off. I am so grateful to have good steady work though, it's a blessing! I am excited about the prospect of buying a new car. I've been talking to my financial planner (aka my dad) and he is going to work with me and in helping me get a loan. HOW EXCITITING!! MY 1st car. So, I'm praying for a good deal and that the Lord would bring a long thje right kind of car for me. Hmmm, it's been a while since I have blogged and I was trying to think of what has been going on with me since the last time I blogged. Oh yea, Congrats to my beatiful sister Jamee who is now the proud owner of a brand new 2006 PINK Cadillac Devile. She is a director with Mary Kay and has earned the use of this free car for selling $300,000 in one year. GO JAMEE! Last Saturday Jamee and I threw a huge shebang for my brother is law Trent, who had his big 30! Everything turned out great, in fact it was rather crazy. We had over 35 people come. I am going to batten down the hatches around my house, no telling what foul weather might come our way. Hope you guys all stay safe and dry!

2005-06-28T20:36:00.000-04:00

Good old family time

To my family!

2005-06-28T20:32:00.000-04:00

This is just a little note to all my family to let them know how grateful I am to have them in my life. Having 5 older brothers and sisters has always been fun, accpet when they try to tell me what to do. ha ha ha I have learned a lot from each one of them, and I am so glad that we have all remained friends as some have gotten married and moved away. So, here's to my family. Who loves me enaugh to encourage and support me, in good times and bad. I love ya'll!

Where my heart is.....

2005-06-21T17:08:00.000-04:00

Sometimes there is just so much going on in my heart, that I don't even know were to begin in getting my feelings out. This week has been a challenge for me, I have really been struggling with some things, and I have yet to overcome them. My dad approached me about it last night and we had a long heart to heart talk. Boy, those sure aren't easy. I know it is important to communicate, but it just stinks sometimes. I feel like I have been saved for a while now, and I feel like I should be way farther down the road of life by now. I have the desire to grow and walk in my relationship with the Lord, but I feel I don't know how to do that. I know everybody says, "just pray and read your bible, and everything will be okay". Sometimes it just dosen't seem that way. It just seems like there should be this magic token that you get to put into the door to get to the next level in your christian walk. I'm struggling, but I want to do the right thing. *Lord please help me to seek you for the direction in my life that you would have me go*

I Heart Mondays!

2005-06-13T13:40:00.000-04:00

The sun will come out tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow.....
And yes that day is finally here, after like 2 whole weeks of too much rain I am so happy to see the sun coming out. The rain is not really my friend anymore, especially since my van I am driving for now leaks everytime it rains. It's not just a little drip either, it's like niagara falls!!! So anyways. My weekend was good, hung out with my sister and bro in-law on Friday and Sat, then Sunday Rebekah and I made our way down to Jacksonville...or alteast that is were we thought we were going. 2 1/2 later we stopped for directions after seeing a sign for Disney. The guy was like it's another 3 hrs in the opposite way. ha ha ha We were dying laughing. It took this guy forever to tell us though, he barely had any teeth...I guess that's what we got for stopping in some one horse town (literally) I am at work so I will have to finish this up later. My trip was awesome and ya'll got hear the whole story. Later!

It's About Time!

2005-06-10T19:05:00.000-04:00

Boy am I super glad that it is finally Friday, what a long week. Tues, Thurs, and Fri of this week I have been baby-sitting for this family that I have been caring for like 7 years now. Their Mom is out of the country for a week so I am picking there two girls up at 3:00 and 3:30 from their camps and then spending the rest of the evening with the, making dinner getting baths and bed time. Whew, it has been a good week but having kids is sure a lot of work. Makes me really appreciate all the Mom's out there who do this for like 19+ years, that's Momma power for ya. The kids are watching a movie so I thought I would post real quick. I did want to do something fun this weekend but I guess that stupid hurricane is going to bring all kinds of BEAUTIFUL weather....NOOOOTTT! Oh well. I am so excited though, Rebekah and I will be going over to visit Sarah in Jacosonville on Sunday which will be a lot of fun. This will be Bekah's and I's 1st road trip together, so who knows what kind o fcrazy memories we will create on this trip. My parents are out of town for the weekend for their 35th anniversary, man I can't amagine being married that long. What a Godly heritage, and proof what the Lord can do in blessing your marriage and helping it to last. They took my car which totally sucks, because it leaves me with my Mom's van which has no air and on top of all that....the winshield wipers are borken...yea, perfect for this weather too. Believe me, I was praying for my life as I was going down Thomasville road trying to see through the rain. Not Cool....hope I don't get pulled over. Besides that, life has been pretty uneventful. My mom did wini her 1st car with Mary Kay Cosmetics, which is totally awesome. They are giving her a brand new 2005 Red Pontiac Vibe for two whole years, FREEE! Now that is what I am talking about. So now I can have my car back. Life's all good, for now atleast. Peace Out!

Hey Everybody! Hope you guys all had a super Memorial Day weekend. I know I sure did. My weekend was so full of friends, family and the best part....ST. GEORGE ISLAND! I can't ever get enaugh of the beach, it's great. The weather was pretty poopy on Monday so we cam home early, but it was nice just to enjoy my day off. This week has sure gone by fast, I love skipping Mondays cause it helps the week go by so fast. I don't really have any plans for the weekend, I might baby-sitt on Saturday but that is pretty much it. I still can't believe that I am finally graduated from high school, how exciting!!!! WEll I am going to close for now, hope you guys all have a great weekend. Love u all!!

Graduation Day!

2005-05-28T08:25:00.000-04:00

I just can't believe that today is finally May 28th, 2005!!! I have been waiting for this day for a very long time and now that it's here, I am kinda nervous to say the least. Yesterday at the beach with Sarah was great, we did everything under the sun, plus some. I went home last night and spent some time with my family. My Grandmother came in last night around 6pm and she will be staying with us for the weekend. Then Matthew and Melody came in a little later and we all sat in the living room till like 2pm and just talked and had a good time cutting up. I am not really sure what I am doing till 3:00pm, but I was talking to Melody and we were going to maybe head off to a day spa and get some treaments done. Maybe a nice cucumber facial would work, ahhhh! Well that is pretty much what is going on right now. I'm just going to chill out here till I need to get ready and then head to gradution. Jamee and Trent are having a little get together at their house after the graduation which will be fun. Then we are heading BACK to St. George to stay at the beach house we rented for Mon and Tues. Congrats again to all those who will and have already graduated!

2005-05-26T16:28:00.000-04:00

I just can't tell you guys how excited I am about this weekend. We are having a huge family get together for my graduation on Saturday. Then on Sunday we rented a beach house down at St. George Island to stay for the night. It will be the first time we have all been together for a long time, I think actually since November was the last time all our families were together. Now that we have extended our family to 12, it's a lot more work to get everybody together. Let me see, what has been going on since the last time I blogged??? I have been getting some really nice cards and $$$$ from the graduation invitations I sent out a couple weeks ago. I think it is so neat that you send out invitations and then money just starts rolling in. God Bless You Guys For Donating To The Needy Child Fun! Ha ha ha j/k I am staying really busy at Dr. Miller office which I am enjoying greatly. I've been struggling with this guy who will not get the picture that I am not interested in him. So finally after a lot of talking to, he kinda backed off. Thankfully he won't be coming back for another two weeks. I am sorry to say, but he was just very unkooth and his remakrs to me were very inappropriate. Here's something exciting, I opened up this card that Dr. Mike and Mrs. Julie gave me and GUESS WHAT FELL OUT?? A check for $100 for my graduation!!! I WAS FREAKING OUT. I am very grateful for there generous gift. It sure has been nice having Sarah back for a couple of weeks. Sarah, Calyn and I were able to spend a lot of good times together this week which has been a blessing to me. Calyn and I are still working through our Henry Blackaby study and I am working hard to try to apply all the things I have learned to my life. Congratulations to all the senior for the class of 2005, all your hard work has payed off. I will close with these last remarks for my dear friends. Calyn, I don't even know were to begin to express my gratefulness to you for your encouragment in my life. I know you don't think so but your always happy nature just lights the room and puts a smile on my face. Thanx, I love u! Sarah, It has been so great having you back. I am glad that we were able to hang out. Thank you for teaching me a lot about the meaning of a true friend, sticking by eachother's side when the going got ruff. These past 12 years have been great, we have enaugh memories to last a life time and I am grateful for each one of them. I am extremely proud of you for the Godly woman you are. Keep loving JEEESSSUUSS! *ASk your dad would say so well* I'll love you forever. Rebekah, I am so grateful for the times we have been able to hang out especially a lot more this year. I always enjoy your company and it was so much fun having you drop by when you were "susposed to be at Mrs. Nicole's". he he he "Lost" was the best show this year, glad you liked it too. Sure beats "Will and Grace". Sorry just had to say it. I love you turtle tounge, keep your head up. I'm on your team.

2005-05-17T18:34:00.000-04:00

There is no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard
And no song that I could sing but I can try for your heart
And our dreams and they are made out of real things
Like a shoebox of photographs with sepia-tones loving
Love is the answer at least for most of the questions in my heart
Why are we here? And were do we go? And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and sometimes life can be decieving
I'll tell you one thing, it's alwats better when were're together

It's always better when we're together
We'll look back at the stars when we're together
It's always better when we're together
It's always better when we're together

And all of these moments just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they'll be gone when the morning light sings
Or brings new things for tomorrow night you see
That they'll be gone too, too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impresssion I was somwere in between
With only two, just me and you, not so manyh things we got to do
Or places we got to be wel'll sit beneath the mango tree now

It's always bettter when we're together
WE're sopmewere in between together
It's always better when we're together
It's always better when we're together

I belive in memories they look so pretty when I sleep
And when I wake up you look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enaugh time
And there is no song I could
And there is no combination of workds I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We're better together..........................

Beaching!! YEA!

2005-05-15T09:52:00.000-04:00

WE are off to St. George for the day. My dad is painting a huge house down at the coast, and so my Mom and I are driving over there to hang out with my family. Hey, any execuse to go the the beach is fine with me. Yesterday was like the most boring day ever. I totally cleaned out my car, wash/vacumed/waxed the whole thing!!!!!! IT TOOK FOREVER. Then I went to Premier and layed out for a couple of hours, and boy am I loving my membership now that I can just chill by the pool. I guess for $50 a month I should be enjoying, right? Oh gosh, I don't want to go back to work on Monday. This guy has kinda been hitting on me, and on Friday he asked for my number and I freaked out and make a fake one up. Yes, I know that was lying but it's not like everyday that I get random people asking for my number. Sad day man, I hate lying about stuff like that. Hope you guys all are having a great day, probably at church worshiping this morning. We are heading out so I will catch up with ya'll later. Peace Out!

I'm Posting!!

2005-05-11T21:17:00.000-04:00

Whew, today was a whirlwind! Thank God everyday is a new day, because we would all be hurting if we had to live the day same over and over again. Wait, diden't they made a movie about that? Something about this dude waking up and living the same day over and over again, and he was not sure how to get to a new day. WIERD!! I'm telling you movies these days are going wayyyyyy dddooooowwwwwnnnn hiiilllll! :( Work is going good. I am learning so much about the body, and it's a great way to meet new people. Too bad it's against company policy to date any of our patients, whew dog I'd be out on a date right now if I could.....he he he j/k "Lost" on ABC was awesome tonight, did anybody watch it? I try so hard not to get too hooked on TV shows, but this one really got me good. Thank God is almost friday! Hope you guys will all make it to the crop at Northwoods on Friday night @ 6pm. We are going to have a blast. Life just got pretty exciting for me. I went to pick up my cap and gown from school the other day, that was SOOOO COOL! It was totally like a major reality check for me, I AM GRADUATING MAY 28TH!!! I am pretty worn out so I am going to keep this short for tonight. Night Night!

Whew, and it's only Tuesday!

2005-05-03T12:49:00.000-04:00

Wow, it seems like forever since I have posted so, needless to say I am overdue. A lot has been going down lately. As of Monday, I am workin full time for Dr. Millers which has been fun but really crazy. I get to wear scrubs now which is pretty cool, they are super comfortable and I just get up and don't even have to think about what I am going to wear. How Nice! I am really excited about this new bible study Calyn and I are studying together. It's by Henry Blackaby, studying the life of Abram and how God used him in the lives of others, and how he can do the same in us. Amagine that, quite a concept....God using US?? :) He can and he will, we (I) just need to say "Yes, Lord". It's Tuesday night again and I have my regular Mary Kay Success event at Jamee's house tonight, which is were I am right now actually. I am working for her on the side also when I am not at Dr. Miller's. I am really looking forward to this weekend, not only do I not have to work on Friday, but I have family coming in to for Mother's Day. Matthew and Melody (whom I haven't seen in forever) are coming down from Orlando, and Sarah is also coming on Saturday from Jacksonville, PLUS my Grandmother from Ft. Walton Beach is coming too. We are going to have a blast, just hanging out. As of now, I don't really have any plans for this summer. Working full time won't really allow that, but I am hoping to be able to save some $$$$ and also spend some....YEA!! The one thing I am looking forward to is spending a week with Karen at Disney. For my birthday/graduation/Christmas present Karen gave me a 5 day pass to Disney with her. IT"S GOING TO BE GREAT! This is my first time to Disney and I am already planning a disney scrap book. Out of control...I KNOW! So atleast I will get a week off for a summer break. I am really blessed though, because this has been a great job for me and plus, I will be earning my certification as a certified chiropractic assitant which will be great for my medical resum`e. I would appreciate ya'lls continued prayers support of me. I am really struggling with some pretty major right now, and I am not proud to say that I have not handled this situation the best I could have. Please just pray for me. ummmm, I think that is all for now. I gotta get back to work. See ya'll later!

Crazyyyy Day!!

2005-04-28T22:43:00.000-04:00

Well I woke up yesterday morning with a bunch of junk in my throat and a massive headahce. I am still feeling really yucky, I guess there is some kind of virus going around. Not cool man, I went to work at Dr. Miller's till 12:30 and then I worked for Jamee after that. Never Again, today was the longest day of my life plus feeling really bad on top of all that. I can't believe that school is finally over with, I went to school and picked up my portfolio for my photo class, and was super pleased to see that I made a B+ as my final grade for the class. YEA!! Thankfully I won't be taking classes until the fall, hey I did my summer school last year and that was enaugh for me. I am really excited though, Dr. Miller (Chiropractic physician) has offered me a full time postion as the office manager at his office and I accepted. I have been there for almost a year now and I LOVE IT! I started off as only part time so it will be nice to have a real full time job that I can count on to pay my bills. It's a pretty small office and it has given me a chance to get to know new people and learn more things about the body and how it works. Plus Dr. Miller is a super GREAT, EASY GOING boss and I love that. This weekend is going to be pretty layed back, I have 2 baby-sitting jobs lines up for this weekend which will be good, and I am spending the night with Jamee tomorrow night which is always great. I love having a cool big sister, I look up to her a lot and we always have a great time together. Kristin left of Wednesday, she made it home safe which was good. We had a really good time and now I am kinda ready to get back into the swing of things since I took a lot of time off while she was here. Things are going well in my buisness, I have made a lot of contacts and will hopefully be able to win my car soon. Since I was in this last accident my insurance has been outragious and I just think it is so great that once you earn your car, Mary Kay pays for EVERYTHING ON YOUR CAR. Insurace, car payment, maintenance. You name it, they do it. Plus driving around a cute little RED 2005 Pontiac Vibe won't be too bad....I think I could manage with that. HA HA! I am getting pretty bushed so I will close this post for now. I hope you all have a great weekend, I want to encourageyou guys with a little thought to take a minute and pray....I was really convicted today about how much I truly have. Stephen and I were on our way to Wal-Mart on Thomasville road and we passed a fatal accident. A small car and been broadsided by en explorer and there was no way the person in the car had lived. The police were already there, spray painting the road were the body had been. Bad....We never know when our time will come and my prayer is that God will use me as a vessel to share with others his love for them. We are so lucky to have God in our lives, don't others deserve the same?

Time Fly's!!!

2005-04-26T08:23:00.000-04:00

I can't belive that it's already Tuesday and April is almost done!! It seems like it was only January the other day and I was starting my first days at TCC. Now this semester is over and I am not going back till August, YEA!! It is so sad, Kristin will be leaving tomorrow. Her time here went by so fast. We drove up to Thomasville, GA yesterday and had a blast walking around all the little shops up there. Man once you cross the GA line, it seems like a different country. People talk in there own language (Hick) and they sure have there own country outfits. he he he :) Just for future reference, if any of ya'll want to stop at the Big Lots up there....PLEASE, I am begging you resist the urge to stop in there and go to Wal-Mart, a much friendlier clean environment. Whew, that is kinda a scary place. Today is going to be a pretty layed back day. Hannah was susposed to come hang out with me and Kristin today, but her mom just called and she said is sick so we are going on with plan B. I have my very first Mary Kay meeting tonight at Jamee's house, which I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT! Kristin is going with me as my model for the skin care class. I finally got all my inventory last week, I can't believe that I made my order on Tuesday and the order came on Thursday, go pink mary kay!! I ordered $3, 600 worth of product and now I have to find a place to keep in all somewere in my room. How Exciting!! Alright I am going to get ready to go, I to find something fun for me and kristin to do today. Hope ya'lls exam week went great!!

Kristin's Here!!!

2005-04-22T08:45:00.000-04:00

This week has been flying by. My good friend Kristin from New York is here for the week, and we are having a blast together. She has never been to Florida, so Wednesday Jamee and I took her down to St. George Island for the day. She was like freaking out, they don't even really have beaches up north so everything was new for her. My last day of classes was yesterday. I had a huge portfolio due for my basic photography class, and then I had my last exam on Tuesday. I went last night to pick up my results from my teacher and the wait was agonizing!!!! sp? Finally she told me that I made an 86% on the exam and I WAS FREAKING OUT!! There were only like 36 questions on there, so in order to pass with a 70% you could only miss 10 which is not very much. Whew! That was a major answer to prayer. Today Kristin and I are going down town to have lunch at the top of the capital building. She hasen't been down town yet so I thought she might enjoy seeing the capital and stuff. We did a really fun thing last night. We stopped by Sally's Beauty Supply on the way home from school last night and picked up a highlighting cap and some hair color to dye eachother's hair with. Kristin picked a nice auburn red, and I did a nice dark brown. My hair is just darker, with a nice redish tone to it. Kristin did heavy chunking highlights in hers, and it looks pretty good. Oh my gosh, I have got from crazy news for ya'll. As of Tuesday afternoon, I am officially a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant!!! Yea I know, I know. I always said I would never do it, but I realzed after much thought and prayer that this could be a great buisness oppertunity for me. So far so good. I already got my 1st facial lines up for next week. :) Pray for me about this because it is a lot of stepping out of your confort zone to share the Mary Kay products with other people. I am going to close for now, we have a a fun day a head!!! See ya'll later!

BURNED!!!

2005-04-17T15:08:00.000-04:00

Oh my Gosh, yesterday was so much fun. We went tubing on the Ochlochnee river yesterday, and tubed, knee boarded, and skim boarded. It was pretty chilly actually, but we had a wet suit which helped us not totally freeze our butts off. We packed a lunch and were out until 5:00pm. since the wind was blowing so much, I did not realize that I was getting burned. And I mean BURNED. Like crisp cracker, red man burned. So, needless to say Aloe and I have been really close since last night. I diden't make it to church this morning, I felt really tired after getting so much sun and I actually felt like feverish so I descided to sleep in. I still have to do the nursery @ 11:15am which went good, we only had 2 kids so that was kinda boring. Sarah is going back to school today, we have had a pretty good time. My good friend Kristin is coming in from NY on Tuesday, I AM SO EXCITED!! I have not seen her since last August. She's gonna be here for days, and we are going to party it out. Not really, but I just feel cool saying that. he he he I have my 1st exam on Tuesday so I'm going to close for now and getting some studying done. See ya'll later.

2005-04-16T09:33:00.000-04:00

Hey Everybody! Hope you all are doing well. My blog has been such a mess lately because I coulden't for the longest time figure out how to post stuff. YEA! I am finally in the 21st century. It is such a beautiful day outside. I am heading out with Stephen today, we are taking his friends boat out on the water today. FUN FUN!! Sarah came home for the weekend which has been interesting. It sure changes things when your siblings move out and then come back. Last night Sarah and I watched a really wierd movie. It was called "The Secret Window", it had Johnny Depp in it and it was a strange movie let me tell you what. I will close for now, we are getting ready to leave. I'll do better about posting more, so bear with me till I figure out how to do this thing. Have a great weekend everybody!
