Another trip round the sun.....

at 03/21/09 9:42AM

"Hear 'em singing Happy Birthday
Better think about the wish I made
This year gone by ain't been a piece of cake
Every day's a revolution
Pull it together and it comes undone
Just one more candle and a trip around the sun

I'm just hanging on while this old world keeps spinning
And it's good to know it's out of my control
If there's one thing that I've learned from all this living
Is that it wouldn't change a thing if I let go

No, you never see it coming
Always wind up wondering where it went
Only time will tell if it was time well spent
It's another revelation
Celebrating what I should have done
With these souvenirs of my trip around the sun

Yes, I'll make a resolution
That I'll never make another one
Just enjoy this ride on my trip around the sun
Just enjoy this ride ...
Until it's done"

I'm a quarter of a century old today...YIKES!!!!

Happy B'day! That makes me feel old, since I had you in the high school class at C.V.!

Beautiful picture, Ellen! No value can be put on "family", huh? So glad you were all able to be together! It was good to see you the other night at Lost River although it was short...Much love to you!

by lala at 11/15/08 4:24PM
SOOOOOOO HOT! Smells, I miss you SO much. :( I thought I was going to have to stop in BG to drop off Ben's bro and sis but the plans fell through. No BG for me...YET! I really want to try and get there SOON.

by mandymara at 11/15/08 6:38PM
You look beautiful!! I want your dress!!!! Mom was telling me she saw a picture of you I guess the last time Megan was out in Cali with Derek? She said they're spending Thanksgiving Day with Megan and Derek while they're in town.

by lolo at 11/15/08 8:01PM

Well, I haven't posted since August thats quite a while. This is what I've been up to:

1) WORK

Ok thats it. I feel like all I really do: eat, sleep and work. I actually have started to love my job. I love the people I work with and my boss, I actually don't dread going in anymore. My patients test my patience but they crack me up every sinle night and for the most part they are very sweet. The only thing I wish for is more sleep!

I am excited about 4 things:
1) I'm going on 12 hr shifts!!! I have been going five 8hr shifts 11pm-7am, and now I get to do three 12s 7p-7a!!!

2) I was asked by the HR department at the hospital to be the recruiter for new nurses!!! I will be going to the different classes at WKU and other colleges around to talk about what we offer and our new nurse orientation. I am so excited about this opportunity and other doors it might open for me.

3) I GET TO GO HOME FOR THANKSGIVING!!!! Never in a million years did I think this would happen but I'm off wednesday and thrusday thanksgiving week, so i get to go home! YAY!

4)Megans wedding is just around the corner and I'm so excited to be her maid of honor, woohoo!!

Well, hopefully I wont wait 2 months to update again, we'll see how it goes. Have a good one! Let your light shine!

"In a world that keeps on turning
and moving so fast
When you can't hold on to nothin
And nothing seems to last
Its so good to know that love still remains
Ain't ya glad, some things NEVER change :)"

I'm SO glad you updated! Glad things are going well - I miss you like C R A Z Y!

by mandymara at 10/17/08 9:56PM
You are one busy girl - seems like we haven't seen you in forever. Plus that guy you've got around I'm sure takes up some of your time too. =) He's sweet. I didn't know you were in Megan's wedding. Please take lots of pictures for me. I want to see them. It's funny the connections you make with people. For example Megan and Derek....I lived in an apartment right after FC with Derek's sister, Randi and then Kyle dated Megan for a little while. Just kinda crazy. Thanks for letting me share and take up so much space on your page. Can you tell it's been a day with not much adult conversation???? HAHAHAHAHA!

by lala at 10/17/08 10:03PM
I am so glad everything is going so well for ya girl!
And I hope you have a blessed holiday with
your family & a good time at the wedding..
Will we be seeing some photos??
Hope to see ya some time.. Love ya!

by Gods_Country_Girl at 10/18/08 10:35AM
I'm not surprised at your success or your blessings! People recognize good, hard work. And God rewards your efforts. Have a great Thanksgiving!

by missysnapp at 10/19/08 6:56PM
