singing.

So I normally share an office with Nicole, however she is sick today.

It also FYI has been a crazy busy day with tons of kids, families, and people all over the place.

So right now as I am sitting at my desk for maybe the only quiet moment I will get all day, guess what song came on the radio....

An oldie but goodie...Whitney Houston, And I Will Always Love You

So what could I do, well I quietly shut the door to my office, stood up and sang like I was Whitney singing on stage to a million people.

I was quite impressive if I do say so myself, I am a pretty good lip syncer :O)

That is your view into my world for today.

Did you have a fun moment today, even though you probably had a crazy busy day?

Also I prayed for rain today, at lunch, when I was blessing the taco bell food that rachel and I were eating and I get back to my office and it is raining.

I love how God takes care of us :o)

ya know a few more things :o)

These pics are mostly from the 4th of July..we had fun :O) We went to a Hawaiian Luau!

So that's a few pics to show off recent events in my life. Have you all been having a good summer?

I got

A new journal last night. I can't wait to see what I will fill it up with. It even has a pocket in the back for random things.

I know I have not been blogging much lately, but mostly that is because I am so stinking busy with my new job. Also because the things that run through my head or the stories I want to share for one I can't because of confidentiality and two because they are not exactly positive uplifting stories.

It is like saying, Hi my name is Katie and I work for the IRS, however my stories are more like I am being Debbie Downer at the party. Kinda a party foul to share why a 4 year old has been sexually abused.

So I have so many thoughts running through my head, mostly how messed up people are in this world. I think I got calloused when I was working in the law enforcement field, but I have kinda been out of the world of being in direct chaos with people and helping them walk through trauma. Well now I am head in full of helping people deal with the most shocking/terrifying news but I really do love it. I love hanging with kiddos and families and making them smile even if it is only for a brief moment.

I also love working with women who share my passion of helping people who are in the midst of trauma. That's all for now it has been a long day with really tough/hard/devastating/discusting cases and I am going to go have a drink tonight and have dinner with my good friend Cathy.

Have to find normalcy in the midst of chaos.
