happy thanksgiving

I JUST WANTED TO WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

So today eat lots of turkey, love on family or friends who whoever is near, and just relax.

I am thankful for you :o)

no internet ;o(

hey folks just wanted to let everyone know that the reason I have not been updating is due to the fact that I have had no internet at home for over two weeks now. The company that has been providing internet no one can get a hold of and when you call their number it just stops ringing so we think they left town. Not even the office can get a hold of them.

So I am saying this because I will get internet soon but that is why I am shy on my blog posts. I am sneaking this blog in at work shhhh.... don't tell.

Love you all!!

my mignight adventure

This is my midnight adventure... read with pleasure

I had to work until 830 last night and then did not fall asleep until like 1130.
So then at about 1:22 am I was woken up abruptly by the sound of a light bulb being broken, which sounded very close since it did wake me up. I looked out my window and noticed that my porch light was not on and I knew I had left it on cause I like safety like that I mean come on I am the Crime Prevention Coordinator right????

So I am thinking holy crap someone is on my front porch. So I sit at my window for awhile just peeking out to see if anyone is there or if I can hear anything. I don't hear or see anything.

So I get up enough gumption to walk out of my bedroom and walk by the front door, mind you it is quiet and Katie is nervously walking down the hall.

So I slowly creep around the corner of the hallway and just stand there in anticipation to see if someone really is on my porch... there wasn't and I stood there for awhile and did not hear anything. I also felt the light switch in the off position. I walked back to my room, thinking all the while what would I have done anyways in just my t shirt and nothing else. Just say hi :)

So then being so nervous and worked up I didn't fall asleep again until about 5 this morning.

Got up at 630 to go to work. Peeled myself out of bed and got ready and Rachel told me she turned the porch light off last night and I walked out onto my porch and my porch light bulb was still in tact, and it did not look like anything suspicious.

So moral of the story->->-> I can't really think of one I mean come on I got like three hours of sleep last night :O)

Hope you all got more sleep then I did.

watch this

A friend sent me this video today at work and it just really struck a chord in me. I have been planning this huge event called the pre deployment fair with other agencies here in town for the military and it has just got me thinking about their lives and all that they the soldiers and their families have to go through.

It really is amazing at what our military sacrifices and I unfortunately forget about it because I am on the other side of the world and it does not affect me every moment of my life. But today watch this video and just send up a prayer for our soldiers and their families. And be thankful for your freedom as cliche as it sounds. You don't have a soldier from a foreign country standing outside your house when you walk to get your mail do you?

old and new friends

Two of my high school friends have recently moved to Denver and we have been hanging out and I have to tell you it has been great. When I moved out here I didn't really keep in touch with a lot of people from home so it has been a pleasure getting to know them again. It has been fun just having people out here who know me from back when. It really surprised me at how alike we all are still. I mean we have all changed but really all in the same direction. We all have the similar issues on social issues and our faith. It has been great.

This weekend my old good friend from high school willy visited shannon and so we all went up to ft. collins to tour the new belgium brewery and it was so much fun. So there are some pictures from our little escapade up to the brewery. It was fun chatting with old friends and new ones over beer.

The brewery is cool cause all their seats are made out of bike parts. I sat on a stool in which the cushion was a bike seat. It hurt my hoo ha, but it was fun ;o)
