Always check the screen!

So I am watching my Boyfriends cat, Fred, and his Dog, Angus, while he is in the panhandle for a family reunion this weekend. Everything thing has been going fine until...I decided to open a window for him on the back porch to cool it off last night, needless to say from the title, I didn't check the screen, I just opened the window and left. About 10 minutes later my roommate comes in and asks were Fred was and I said on the porch, he was like oh I couldn't find him... so we went to investigate, and after searching the room high and low and wondering where he could be hiding... I was just saying "well he was here when I opened the window..." and all the sudden the light came on. I pushed on the screen and the whole thing like fell out the window! So in my state of panic, that I had just lost the beloved cat... we rounded up a posy and headed out with flash lights at midnight in search for the lost Fred.

Luckily we found him... with the help of Myah, we successfully got Fred back to safety away from the savage neighborhood dogs, and back to the porch... where I was sure to check all the other window screens before leaving him for the second time.

Talk about getting your blood pumping before one tries to go to sleep! Thankfully everything turned out ok though, and Fred lives to see another day! Stay tuned for more, Lost Fred Adventures... Just kidding lets hope there are no more of those.

Hello again!

So I have come to terms with the fact that I am a very inconsistant blogger... right Grandma! so here so a long over due update on things...

I am living in Curtis NE, now working at the gas station making pizzas as a summer job until school starts back up in June, it is very exciting... lol so besides Church and work that is what I do... I just returned from a quick trip home, ahh sweet North Dakota! I miss everyone already but I will (God Willing) see you all again in June when I am back for Camp. :-D

Myah is proving to be a great little life lesson on parenting...grin, she definitely keeps me on my toes! But what can I say I need her and love her so she is stuck with me! lol The weather has been super nice lately and I can't say that I miss the Mosquito's back home so much... I can sit on my front porch and not have to swat at them every too seconds!!! But on the down side we have rattle snakes here... I can't decide which one I dislike more!

But after a long day of pizza making and two more ahead of me... I am going to turn in, and try to be more on top of my blog... try being the key word in that sentence! :-)

Hockey Game

So it is a little last minute but I get to go to the UND hockey play off's tomorrow night... I am leaving Hay Springs, NE and driving strait through to Grand Fork, ND, it could be a long day... I am just asking for prays of safely and that I am able to make it on time. But I am going to need my sleep for tomorrow so I will keep you all posted. Spring Break has officially begun!!! [Grin]

So I have a funny story to tell everyone but right now I really need to be studying for my nursing test tomorrow... so look for and update soon!! : )

I'm so excited, one of my friends and I were talking about random stuff one night, and she was looking through my pictures and one thing lead to another, and we got on the topic of Bluegrass gospel music, turns out she likes it too! So we spent the rest of the night talking about God and she hasn't gone to church in a while, so I said we should look for a Baptist church in North Platte, cause she lives there on the weekends. I can't wait until Sunday, we talked and it was so good to find someone that I can talk to that actually knows... or cares to hear what I have to say about God, because lets face it down here there isn't a lot of people who go to church on Sunday, as sad as that may be. I have been going to the Methodist church here, but I am really looking forward to finding a church that is firmly founded on the word of God!
We have been sharing and talking so much and it feels like a huge weight has been lifted from my heart! like lately I had been struggle to stay in focus with everything, But I know that finding a good church and fellowship with others will help! I can't wait and I am so thankful that God sent me a friend, and I don't if she needed me, but I know that she has been a real blessing, in so many ways!

Thank you Cassie for being that friend!

More exciting news is there is a bluegrass festival in North Platte every year and we are going to look in to going to it. Wooh!! It has been a great week! Spring Break is coming up here in a week!!! So much to do so little time... well not really I just have to study for my nursing test next Friday.
Did I tell ya'll about when the school took us bowling?? Probably not, due to the fact that I haven't blogged since February... [sheepish grin] But yeah the school took a group of us bowling, really who ever wanted to go, it was alot of fun! Luckily there was no balls rolling backwards, like the last time we went bowling and Darci swung the ball back and it slipped from her hand and rolled the opposite direction of the pins... ha ha it was funny, that and the fact that her feet where so small, or maybe the rental shoes were just sized big, but she got to wear vel-crow shoes, cause those where the only one that fit her! Well anyways it was good fun, and we got free pizza outta the deal.

The crazy people that I had to share the van with... just kidding!

Intramural Volleyball is almost over... my team is doing well, we haven't lost every game but we haven't won them all either, I think we are stuck in the middle. Basketball starts as soon as Volleyball is over, and I got suckered into being on a team... I hope I will get sit the bench... alot, cause I can hold the ball well but some how I seem to dribble it off my foot, and then it goes rolling down the floor and there I go running after it! I volunteer to be the water person!!! pick me, pick me! lol Bridget, Amanda and I had a little sleep over in my room on Saturday, and Myah joined us, it was a nice treat. My baby is growing up so fast! She is such a sweet heart though, and every one knows her around the dorms, she doesn't lack attention when she it here that is for sure; the cleaning lady even knows her, she always asks me how she is doing, and tells me how cute she is! She also got a bath on Sunday, after kennels... hehe!

If God led you to it; he'll lead you through it!

Saturday

So it is just an ordinary Saturday in Curtis NE, the sun is shining, it is really quite nice outside. and I am just hanging out in my room. Myah came up to visit me for a little while this morning, she not supposed, but I snuck her up for old time sake. and then she got a hold of the yarn...

It was really intertaining, but I don't think I will ever be able to get that knot out!!! [Smile]

No Excuses!

I am back... wait I never went anywhere, I mean to be back doesn't require leaving??? haha well I am back to the blogging world, after a long long long absences, and no good reason why, other then I have just neglected my blog! I blame facebook. :-D

Well since I have neglected it so, I missed my blog anniversary... sad, very sad! :(

I am home now, until the 10th, then I am going back to get ready for classes to start again on the 14th. I am a little nervous about my second semester, but looking forward to seeing all the friendly faces that I have missed being so far away! Nothing to exciting has happened over break, well... Michael broke is collar bone in a traumatic skiing accident...okay he just biffed it and landed wrong, so it wasn't traumatic! Although now he wears this lovely brace that makes him look some what hunched backed... he is out of wrestling for the year, and is utilizing the time to go ice fishing.

"Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach him to fish and feed him for life."

On New Years Eve Micki, Mollie, and Traci came over and we were going to watch movies, turns out we spent most of the time talking, (who would have guessed...) but at least this year we didn't miss midnight, like last year... haha. Then of course like always I feel asleep, and left my guest to watch the movie by themselves, I wasn't going to but why break tradition?!?!

Well now I am just hanging out and doing some laundry, really exciting I know!! :)

Hope everyone had a Great Christmas, and many New Year Blessings!

Oh, and more exciting news, I got another dog... I know what you are all thinking, but she needed a good home, and she is really super sweet! Her name is Missy, and she is the last dog i will be getting for a while, mainly because I think if I would bring anymore home I might actually go missing... haha, but seriously!

My New/Old Room

Don't mind the clothes in the basket they are clean I promise! Myah is very comfortable in her spot too... I just have to be careful, once they turned on the heaters and I didn't know and her bed was right up underneath it! oops! [grin] And eventually I have to take my AC out of the window...but I am putting that off as long as possible. The top is always open, if anyone wants to visit. I bet Myah would even let you use her pillow.[smile]The picture on the door are my roommates... well ex-roommate now, she is slowly getting everything moved out. It is really nice, having a place for everything, but sad cause I kinda miss my roommate. But that is okay she only moved next door... so we still practically live together... I am either in her room or she is in mine! But I love having my own room!

Miss Ya Roomie!

Just Chillin'

Well I know I really haven't posted in a while, and I can't really figure out if it is lack of ambition, or a lack of thinks to say, nothing really too out of the ordinary has been happening, homework, study, eat, sleep, and more homework, that is about the sum of college life, for some people you could put partying in there...but we won't get on that topic! Myah is doing, well she is growing so fast, and getting braver everyday! It is such a joy to have her around, she keeps be busy with all sorts of stuff to do! But I don't think I really knew how much like a kid she would be.[smile]

Being apart of the FFA group here in college I get the privilege of helping with the ranch Rodeo next weekend, that I am sure will be fun, and if I remember I will take my camera and post pictures... I have been terrible about taking my camera with me, or I will have it with me and not take pictures! But I will really try to have it with me next weekend and take pictures.

New news... I have my one room now, I don't remember if I told ya'll that... i guess i could post pics of my room now that I rearranged everything, it looks way different, and I love the new closet space!!! [grin]

My Little Girl

Myah

She is always getting into something
Unless she is sleeping... she does a lot of that too!

The cutest thing today, she was playing with a water bottle, but her mouth was too small to get it all the way around it, so she would just keep pushing it around... it was so cute! The pictures of her sleeping are in my room even though she in not supposed to be in here... she has spent her fair share of time in my room. Here and in the car, the day after I went home for Fall Break, it was so nice to be home and to not have to drive! She loved the farm, and my family loved her too! I think my mom was a little disappointed when we were able to fit her kennel in the explorer, cause she was hopping that Myah would get to stay with them for a while... but not to worry she will be back for Thanksgiving! I had a great weekend! It was wonderful to get to see my family! I miss you all already! But Myah is a great company keeper, she is always giving me something to do!

Nothing Better to Do...

As I was sitting here, thinking of doing my homework for Animal Care, or thinking of what I could do instead of my animal care... [smile] I realized that I haven't blogged since last week! But that brought about a whole new problem... what to blog about? My boring college life... it is really just homework, sleeping, eating, more home work, and the occasional trip to North Platte, usually to go to Wal-Mart, we are poor college kids and Wal-Mart, is cheap! [grin]

OH! for some excellent news... my roommate was offered the R.A. position, it's not set in stone yet, but if she gets it, she would be moving out of my room... I know this is sad but I have already been dreaming about the extra closet space, and how to rearrange my room!! [smile] I will let you know for sure, what happens, hopefully by the end of this week! It is not so bad having her as a roommate, we get along... but her boyfriend is ALWAYS here, I get alone with him, but they sit on my bed and "watch movies" I am not quite sure why they can't climb up to her bed, she is the one who picked the top bunk in the first place! but it will all work out, if she doesn't get the R.A. job and move out... i will just pile every book I own on my bed every time I leave the room! [wink] Or I could just have a little cheat with her explaining that it really bugs me when they are on my bed... but the book thing sounds much more fun... plus I think that would send a very clear message don't you? [smile]

Well that is all I have for now, I should really make my bed, clean my room, wash my dishes, do some laundry, and maybe get do to doing my homework... "just kidding" ! I will do my homework first, besides I washed my clothes on Saturday, made my bed this morning, and only have one bowl to wash from lunch.

Seward

Happy (late) birthday to both of you!

Steven plays better, by ear, one handed with a splint on one finger, then I do with a book in front of me, and both hands! ha ha

How much for the bag of lace?

yard sale anyone?

Charissa was trying her hardest to call China... if only the phone had a battery! [smile] Smiles
It was my privilege to meat, their cousin Micah this weekend, he was also kind enough to be the Manichean for the yard sale on Saturday! [smile]
And then there is Fred!

And no weekend would be complete with out a concert! Josiah was even back so he join in on a few songs! It was nice to get to see him this time. On Saturday night we went to a hot dog cookout, near where the Wissmann's used to live, when they lived in the country. We did a little barn swinging, that was so much fun but Bethany has all of those pictures... it was so much fun, I felt like a kid again!

4 Days til Seward

Since it has been awhile I figured that I would throw a post out, just to let you all now that I still alive! [grin]
It was a fairly busy weekend, they have a Fall festival here in Curtis, and that consisted of a parade, that I was supposed to be in but... we ran out of dogs to walk, oh well it was fun just watching, the Methodist church had a quilt show... WOW, There was a lot of beautiful quilts! It consisted of a fairly full, day. On Sunday, they had a very nice church service in the park, even with the showers we had that morning, the Lord provided and brought the sun out, for the perfect weather for an outdoor service.

Yesterday I had my first big college test, I think it went well, but that is only the beginning i have two more tests this week. But it is all good, cause this weekend I am looking forward to spending the weekend in Seward, it is going to be really nice to get away!

A merry heart does good like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.

Don't ask!
Ready for church


On the way to North Platte to go to lunch after church.
We have a band... haha Kurtis, he is from Canada, and actually sings quite well, she lives just down the hall, Kylee.

Good News: I tested out of the chapter in Math... so now I don't have to go to math class until they move on to something else!
