I've Been Tagged!!

Ok...so...I have been tagged by Lorrie!
I've been told to list 5 weird things about myself or my pets. Then, I have to Tag 5 friends and list them. Then, those people need to write on their blogs about 5 weird things, and state the rules, and tag 5 more people.
Ok, here goes:
1. I have been the Best Man in a wedding. Ok ok...so I was called the Best Wo"man". But seriously...I was. No I did not wear a tux, lol I wore a black dress with a wrap that matched the colors of the bridesmaids dresses.
2. I cannot go to bed without checking off that days date off of my calendar. If I forget and remember later on while I am in bed...I will try to fight it off but it will drive me so crazy that I get up and mark it off.
3. I only took one day of ballet classes when I was younger and then I quit. I'm serious! I went in there and saw some stuff that there were doing and I thought it was hard. So I never went back. I don't think I would of been cut out for it anyways.
4. I like gross things that most girls don't. Like blood, and stuff like that. I will watch my stepad skin and gut his deer after hunting or anything like that. Medical shows that show things like that fascinate me. I know this will gross for most of you but I gutted a squirrel once with my bare hands! ha ha I don't hunt either which is wierd. Another wierd thing about it though is that I do not like violent or gory movies. Those seem different to me.

5. When I am eating candy or something and I grab a few pieces...it has to be a even amount. Not 5 or 3 peices...it has to be 2, 4, 6, or 8 pieces! I got something like that from my friend Amanda. The only odd number I like is 13. No I am NOT superstitious about Friday the 13th.

Now...everyone who reads this...consider yourself...TAGGED!!

Now since Lorries is dying to see my puppy pictures...I PROMISE I will post them next time I update.

Much Love,

Christine

Time Flies By

Wow...i cannot believe that it is almost the end of October it's crazy!! My parents are in charge of this years Harvest Festival at church...and it's next tuesday!!!! Ahhh!! We have still some more things to get done in these next couple of days. I know that everything will turn alright. If my parents hadn't volunteered to be in charge I don't think we would of had one this year! Great job parents!! I love them so much!! We really donations for a cake walk is a big thing.

Anyways...so...an update on my mom. She is doing fine. Still recovering a little bit from her surgery. She is still sore...like when she sneezes it hurts her and she is not allowed to lift anything. But other than that she's progressing well. She will be able to go back to driving next week which I'm sure she can't wait for. Our family has been so good about letting her rest...because she really needs it. We don't let her do any chores...my stepdad takes my brother to school...my grandma helps with the cooking....and I help with whatever needs to be done. So y'all just continue to keep her in your prayers because she needs her strength for the Harvest Festival next tuesday.

Other than school that's pretty much all that is going on. We have 3 new baby puppies...2 girls and 1 boy and they are all just adorable!!

Leave me comments!

New Baby Puppies

Guess what?! One of our hunting dogs had her puppies this morning!! They are soooo adorable!! I only had 1 early morning class yesterday...so when I got home she had 3 puppies and we thought she was done. Which we thought was weird. So...we went inside for a while and when my stepdad came back out to check on her a while later...she had, had 2 more!! Except...one of them was still born. It was so sad. I cried my eyes out. Seriously...I did. I felt so sorry for it and I prayed for it even. I know that probably sounds pathetic. So we buried it in the ground at the edge of the woods we have behind our house.

A while later I was sitting there taking pictures of the puppies and watching them drink from their mother when I asked my stepdad, "How many is she supposed to have again?" He said, "She should have four." I asked him if he was sure...and he said yes. I told him, "Well, now there are five." I had then realized that I had sat their and watch that puppy be born. It was very interesting. How the mother dog cuts the umbilical cord with its teeth. It's amazing. I mean...I knew they cut it somehow but I just never really thought about it. So we have 5 brand new baby puppies. They are sooo small and adorable. I can't wait until they can open their eyes completely. I don't think we are going to be giving away any of these because they are pure bred.

In case I did not mention...we also have another one of our hunting dogs who is pregnant and her sac broke yesterday morning also...right around the time that the other dog starting having her puppies. She was actually already pregnant when we got her. But all day long yesterday she hadn't had any of ther puppies yet. Still this morning she hasn't had any so...hopefully when I'll go home today she will have had some. Because I know it's gotta be tourterous for her to be sitting there ready for them but they aren't coming. I know that some of hers we will be giving away because they will not be pure bred. But I told my stepdad that I claim one of them as my own. :-)

Well, I would post pictures because I'm in my school computer lab so I am not able to do that right now. So i will post the pictures of the puppies and proud mother as soon as I can.

Talk to ya later!

God Bless,

Christine

Mom is Doing Fine

I forgot to tell y'all that my mom had surgery yesterday morning. She had a hysterectomy. Do not be alarmed...she is doing just fine. The doctor said the surgery was successful and she is coming home today. Actually she should be home anytime now. I talked to my stepdad earlier and he said the docotor said she could come home after lunch time. So, y'all just keep her in your prayers as she recovers. I think she definately going to sleeeping alot. She was last night when I went to see her at the hospital because of all the medicine she's on. She we want to pray that she recovers quickly and as smoothly as possible with no complications.

My poor dog, Roscoe is moping around here because my mom is not here. Poor lil' fella. It's gonna be a real trip when my mom gets home. He's gonna want to jump all over her but...he can't. So, we'll see how that turns out.
I got my essay grade back from school yesterday about my view on pre-marital sex. I got a B-. I mean it's ok...but I'm kind of upset, because I've gotten all A+'s on my essays so far. What upsets me the most was that I made a bunch of dumb gramatical errors. The paper itself was fine. She wrote a comment that I had some good points and they were all backed up by facts. Oh well, I will DEFINATELY learn from my gramatical mistakes this time and not do it again in my next essay.

Well, I still do not have my cellphone. I had to have it sent it to be fixed because it was being sooo stupid. I haven't had it for almost 3 weeks I think. Hopefully, it will be fixed and I'll have no more problems. But, if I end up having to get a whole new one...I'm not getting the same model...I'm gonna get a new one because there is a certain ringtone of Taylor Hicks singing that I want and I can't get it on the phone that I have now so...we'll see.

I guess that's about it!

Much Love,

Christine

In honor of my Taylor Hicks ringtone that I so desire I have decided to post a picture I took before the concert. Awaiting my turn for him to autograph my CD!


<< adorable isn't he?

Crazy Kids and Loving God

Last night I went to church with my dad. It was my week to help with the little kids in the back. I believe I was with the 3 and 4 year olds if I'm no mistaken. I may have had some 5 year olds too. I can't remember. But it was...CRAZY!! Ahhh!! I know these kids are usually active but never this wide open!! I was soo excited by the end of the night. They were talking so much during the story that I couldn't get even 1 sentence out during the story time. They were pushing each other and...some hitting and running around. Wow...I was sooo exhasusted...I was actually ready to pull my hair out. Don't get me wrong. They are adorable. But last night was pretty much a nightmare. Ha ha.

Anyways, I went to church today with my family which was really good today. I sang with the worship team and worship time was really awesome today. I really felt God's presence like never before. The sermon was good but I didn't get to hear all of it because of something...but that is resolved so I'm not really going there in this blog. After church mom, stepdad, and I went to lunch together while my brother and grandma went to my cousin's birthday party.

Well, I'll end this blog with a picture I saw here locally after Tropical Storm Ernesto I thought was funny! Also...thanks to Lorrie for the help with my blog banner!!

Much Love,

Christine

I *heart* Fridays!!

I am so very glad that today is Friday. The last day of school for the weekend! Thanks goodness!! I already took my Bio 101 test and I think it went alot better than I thought it would. Now I'm taking up my time here in our Academic Computer Lab before I have Bio lab class later. Which I think is going to be interesting today because we are going to be experimenting with photosynthesis.

Last night the Ladies of our church did a surprise dinner at a restaurant for our Pastor for Pastor Appreciation and his wife for her 80th birthday. It was alot of fun. It was great to get together with friends and talk about memories and just to have fellowship and celebrate having such a wonderful pastor and his wife, who I know will be blessed for MANY more years to come. Her life is definately in God's hands.

Also, I found out last night that, a lady at our church who is having twins said she talked to her midwife and doctor and they said it would be ok for me to be at the delivery. I am so excited. I think I was only joking at first when I told her and her husband I wanted to be there...but I guess they took it seriously. Which, I'm kind of glad they did. I loved the Labor & Delivery rotation when we did it in nursing school. So, I'm pretty happy that is allowing me to be there for the delivery of her twins. I'm only going if it's not a middle of the nighter. Hopefully, it will be at a time when I'm not at school. Because I haven't seen twins born yet so I'm excited and hoping I will be there to witness the beautiful birth of twin boys.

Well, I guess that's about all for now. I'll stop here and talk to y'all later! Leave me comments ok?!

Much Love,

Christine

Another Week *sigh*

Well, so starts another week of school. *sigh* The weekends go by WAY TOO fast!! At least...for me they do. It seems like you don't get that big of a break from school because you usually have homework that you have to do over the weekend. In my opinion...it sucks. But in all fairness...I am VERY thankful that I do get my weekend breaks. Because I know once I start working as a nurse in a hospital somewhere or some kind of medical facility...I won't get much of that (unless I work in a doctors office).

Anyways, my weekend went pretty well. Saturday is rained all day long off and on. It was kind of depressing...but I was home all alone in the peace and quiet so I LOVED that part of it. Um...let's see...yesterday was Sunday. Sunday was a pretty good day. It was Pastor Appreciation Sunday where we celebrated and honored our pastor. He's been the pastor for 31 years at our church. He is such an awesome pastor and I could ever ask for a better one [except for Freddy of course ;-)] We had a luncheon afterwards for the occasion and it was good. We had fried chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes!! It was awesome.

After that my grandma and I went over to my aunt house and helped her clean out one of the sheds to see what we could put in the yardsale and what was going to be kept. We found one of my mom's old record players that she had when she was young and tons of records that were grandpas...it was really neat.

Well, I am at school now taking a break. Just got finshed eating Chinese Sweet & Sour Chicken for lunch. It was yummy!! I guess I better stop here. Got class soon! Talk to you later!

Much Love,

Christine

This ones for you Lorrie...

You Are 20% Obsessive

You're less prone to obsessive thoughts than the rest of the world... While you do get hung up from time to time, you're excellent at clearing your mind.

How Obsessive Are You?

Rainy Day Saturday

Rain...rain...go away...come again some other day...

Man...this weather is bleh! All this rain...but...maybe we needed it. Who knows? But still it's kind of depressing. Not to me though...I'm at home by myself right now and it's great...peace and quiet. *sighs* Jim is out of town hunting...my brother is at my uncles...and mom is at a scrapbooking event. I love a quiet house all to myself...its fabulous.

But anyways...I had to treck out into puddles up my ankles earlier today. Because one of our hunting dogs got loose...which I didn't know...and a girl from down the street brought him home to us in the rain. Which was very nice of her. So since at the time it wasn't raining hard...it had calmed down...I HAD to take the dog back and lock it up in the cage. Ugh...I had to take my shoes off to walk through the puddles in the backyard. That's how deep it was. It was nasty. I was all soaked so I had to change when I got back in.

I'm fine now but geeze...anyways...that's about all I have to say right now. See ya!

God Bless,

Christine

Busch Gardens

I never posted the some of the pictures I took at Busch Gardens when I went on Labor Day with my aunt, uncle, and friend so I've decided to show you some of them. Some of those are good and some are not. Also, some of them are just random throughout the park because I was bored...





The rest are not worth posting so that's it for now. I had oneI was trying to upload but it wouldn't work so I'll show you that one later...it's a funy one. Talk to you later! Leave me comments!

God Bless,

Christine

Pennsylvania School Shootings

I'm sure you all have heard of the Pennsylvania School Shootings that occured yesterday. This is a very very upsetting and sad thing to hear. What would possess this man to do something like this to innocent school girls? Something that happened to him 20 years ago? There's no need to take it out on young innocent school kids.

I think we definately need to keep that Amish community in our prayers and the families of the little girls who were killed. Also for the family of the man who did this and then killed himself. I hear there are finding out some things about his past that are just not very appealing.

My friend (Kellie) and I are going to be praying for the safetly of not only that school but every school around the country at 9 pm each night. Because this is a really big issue and we just need to pray God's protection over each and every kid and their safety as they walk into school each day. They are just there to get an education...they should have to worry about whether they are going to get shot that day or anything like that. So if you would join us in keep them in our prayers then pray for them tonight at 9 pm.

It says in God's word...where two or three are gathered together there He is in the midst of it. So I belive if we all join in prayer on this matter that these kids will be protected and there will be angels surrounding our schools.

God Bless,

Christine

You Are a Peacemaker Soul

You strive to please others and compromise anyway you can. War or conflict bothers you, and you would do anything to keep the peace. You are a good mediator and a true negotiator. Sometimes you do too much, trying so hard to make people happy. While you keep the peace, you tend to be secretly judgmental. You lose respect for people who don't like to both give and take. On the flip side, you've got a graet sense of humor and wit. You're always dimplomatic and able to give good advice. Souls you are most compatible with: Warrior Soul, Hunter Soul and Visionary Soul

What Kind of Soul Are You?

How Wierd Is That?

Yesterday morning I woke up with this really bad headache and when I took my shower I got this nauseated feeling...to the point where I couldn't stand up...so I had to speed up my shower like really fast and get out and dry off so I could sit down on the toilet (with the sit down duh!). It was the wierdest feeling I had ever had in my life and it was very scary. I continued to get dressed and went out and told my dad how I was feeling and he began to pray for me. After that I got read the best I could having to sit down and rest every now and then. After a little bit the nauseated feeling was gone and I still had the headache. Thank God for taking that part of it away.

Then I went to a Powerpoint work day thing at church to work on some stuff for our upcoming Harvest Festival because my parents are in charge of it. So..I still had the headache and go some tylenol from someone at the chuch and that temporarily took it away but then I began to have it again around lunch time. Somebody then asked me if I had any caffeine lately. I told them no because I didn't have any at all on Friday. They told me that was probably my problem...that I needed some caffeine that I am used to having and that I probably needed something to eat. Sure enough, after each lunch at Pizza Hut and drinking some Dr. Pepper I was just fine.

Having already graduated from nursing school you would of though I knew something like that. But in all honest...I never knew that not having caffeine like you are used to could affect you like that. I guess that's how it is with drug addicts and stuff. Wierd...well, I guess I'll end here for now.

God Bless,

Christine

You Are Vanilla Ice Cream

Your personality is anything but "vanilla" You're a risk taker, who's up for anything new. You go well with anyone and fit into any situation. You are most compatible with rocky road ice cream.

What Flavor Ice Cream Are You?
