Again...

...we have more snow. I LOVE THE SNOW! But enough is enough. This is already the second snow this winter. And it's a BIG snow. I really do love it, but it is such an inconvenience for everyone. I took some pics...

What's Been Happening

So, I figure it's time for a picture post. I have been slacking a bit with my blog, but only because I haven't had anything to blog about. The happenings in my life have been... not boring... just not "blog worthy". I have been in a "no picture taking" mood lately and what good is a post without pictures? Honestly, I normally don't read a post if it doesn't involve pictures. Guess I'm more of a visual person...

But, here are some of the happenings in my life lately. Most of them are... rather.... interesting.

We get such WONDERFUL guests at TLC:)
(I have a feeling she's going to kill me.)

According to Psychology

My Psychology class is a VERY fun class. I love it.

My professor is a retired counselor. The first day of class, the first words out of his mouth were, "Okay, let's get out the cookies and let's get started." He brought us cookies:) I knew right off.... I was going to love this class. His wife comes every now and then to "assist". They're the kind of old people who play the role of "Nana and Papa" in everyone's lives. They're awesome!

Since he is a retired counselor, he tells us stories of the various doctors, lawyers, families, etc. he has counseled. He specialized in family counseling, so some of the stories he tells us are really funny and some are extremely sad.

Here's something he always told couple's while in marriage counseling....

Men are like microwaves.

Women are like crockpots.

His example of this analogy.... shopping.
hmph.

Just a thought

My history professor challenged my class to think about something:

Is it great people who make history?

OR

Is it the events in history that make great people?

Something to think about....

Happy Birthday to Cara Denae

Today is Miss Cara Denae Wilkin's 14th birthday!

*singing*Today is your birthday, Happy, Happy Birthday.
Today is you birthday, Happy, Happy Day. Hey!*singing*

Much thanks to Wooten Bassett for that song:)

Cara and I have know each other for a few years and always have a blast when together. She can make me laugh more than anyone else. When together all we do is laugh and get into trouble. She is one crazy girl:)

I miss Cara lots. She needs to come visit more often. Or hmm... maybe I could go visit her. I need to start a donation box;)

Love you Cara! Hope you have a great birthday!!

Best of Friends

A few days ago Miss Audrey came over with my sister, Lindsay. She had a blast hanging out with her Aunt Bitny, Aunt Sisen and Uncle Dano. But, after a while she became bored and a little gripey.

However, everything changed when she found out that cute little Natalia Grace was coming over. Natalia is her best friend and they absolutely love to play together. Audrey kept running around the house screaming "Talia comin! Talia comin!" It was way cute:)

Here are pictures from the night

Partners in Crime:)

Compare this to 80 years from now. lol.

Best friends

They're so adorable when together. Reminds me of when Marissa and I were just little tots:)

One Year Ago Today....

.... was Kevin's car accident.

Wow. Seems like yesterday.
My dad received a call at 4:45am from the police Chaplin. His job was to tell us that Kevin was dead and the hearse was on the way. Talk about freak out mode.

It was only God's mercy and grace that kept Kevin. However, both arms and his left leg was broken. He was in a wheelchair for six weeks and therapy was done at least four hours a day. He had some facial injuries and stitches were required.

Although this was a hard and stressful time, we had many laughs and fun times. Taking Kevin on walks (us walking and him in the wheelchair) was fun because we would freak him out by going too fast. Once Kevin's leg cast was taken off, him and I went on bike rides for him to regain strength. It was always terrible when I got tired before he did. lol. We still talk about the jokes and stories Kevin told us when drugged on his medicine. ha. And I do have to say that I miss the late night walks through the hospital. Watching homeless people fight over couches was priceless.... and sad. I also laugh at the time when we were with Matt and Marissa in the parking garage. We could see our car but could not get to it. (It was a level above us.) So Matt nicely offered his back as a step stool to get over a HUGE cement wall. All the while, we were dying laughing.

Kevin still has complications with his arms due to nerve damage. He still faces many more surgeries, but with God's help, he will make it.

I am so very thankful for God's mercy. It was only Him that kept Kevin alive. I can't be thankful enough. It was definitely an experience to change one's perspective on life and learn to trust in Jesus.
