Cleaning Lady


I got a job! I am the custodian for my hall at school. I have to work 12 hours a week-2 hours a day, 6 days a week-its perfect! I was really starting to worry about finding a job and this one just sorta happened- God works in great ways! I move in on Sunday-two days!!!!!

P.S. Bentley is doing fine- he had surgery and they found a corn cob! He is now recovering and should come home shortly-praise the Lord!

Bentley and Me


So this week is my family's annual end-of-the-summer camping trip and I think this is the most interesting one we have ever taken. Yesterday started out normal enough with a bunch of running around trying to get everything ready-nobody really noticed that Bentley was showing signs that he wasn't feeling to well. So an hour and a half later than we wanted to leave we left and not 15 minutes later we were back at home cleaning the dog and his kennel because the curves were to much for him. After a good hour of cleaning we hit the road again-and everyone was fine- right up till Bentley threw up again in Woodburn. So after some more cleaning we got back on the road only this time it was back home- to Lebanon Animal Hospital. Once there, we waited an hour for the vet to arrive and then another 45 minutes for the vet to figure out what to do-they decided to keep him overnight. So finally we left for Astoria and 3 and a half hours later we made it- 6 hours late! I had a great time sitting in front of the camp fire and goofing off with Andrew. Then we went in to play a game of Rook- that is when I started to get really hot and my stomach started to hurt and we didn't play two hands before I ran out and let it all loose in the bushes. It was miserable! I have decided that throwing up is the second worst thing in the world, the first being torture(of any kind)! That was my interesting day yesterday, today Bentley is not doing any better and will most likely have to go into surgery because something is stuck inside him. Oh and thats not all today we came back home to go to a memorial service and tomorrow we go back to Astoria to finish our camping experience-what a vacation!

for all to enjoy

I've found it-a movie that is excedingly good for everyone. It's called Stealth and it is still in theaters. It has action, adventure and just enough romance so that the people who need that part are able to enjoy it. Although I have to admit that some may not like it-like the person I saw it with-because it is set in the future and some things that happen are a little unbelieveable-but isn't that true for all movies these days. I walked out of the Theater and I wanted to see it again and when that happens I know that it was a good one. So call up a friend, smuggle in some candy and enjoy the show.

The Fantastic Four


So the goodbyes have started. Although I might see Annabecca before Christmas, the four of us won't be together till then and that is just depressing. Then last night was the going away party for 4 other people-tear! I am looking forward to going to the beach with Geron, so I am looking to the future instead of living in the past!

If Only

If only life were as simple as it was for seven brothers when they went out to capture their seven brides. They knew exactly what they wanted and, after a motivating pep talk from thier brother Adam, they went and got it. I have come to the conclusion that when life is not as simple as that, which it usually never is, the best option is to go to the park with a friend, swing, and then go watch old musicals-like Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. These three things-together or apart-always seem to make life better.
