Danielley- thoughts and what not

Life since September

2006-11-21T14:13:00.000-06:00

Hello everyone...or everyone that still reads this.... It's been awhile and stuff has happened so I thought I'd write and update this thingy....

First off, Heather Richard got married back in September, a very beautiful bride although quite a rainy day....
Next was my cousin Cindy's wedding in October, again she also was tres beautiful....congrats Cindy & Steve!!
Well now I'm glad to say that I am feeling much better thank you....If you didn't know already I had been sick for a couple of weeks...bowel not niceness....I'll just leave it at that! And I had been off work for like two whole weeks and getting pretty frustrated and I lost a lot of weight....mainly in my chest...says Shannon...thanks....LOL! Now I weigh less than Nichole for the first time in my life....and I'm not really proud of that...Nichole seems pretty proud...whatever....I hope to gain back about 10 pounds so any tips on how to gain weight would be nice.

During the sickness episode I went and visited Annabeth and her kids....many of you are probably like "YOU WENT TO VISIT KIDS AND YOU WERE SICK????" Yes but I was asymptomatic at the time I went to her house.....I thought I was fine....or else I wouldn't have gone....Well here are a few pics of her cuties!
Apparently Ben and Clara are obsessed with me....thank you very much...I hope to brain wash Emma in the similar fashion...heehee! Honestly Annabeth...it would be a crime if you didn't have a least one more baby...seeing as you make such friigin cute ones!!!! I always love hanging with the Martins....:)

Speaking of cute babies...my blog just wouldn't be my blog if I didn't blubber and yadder on about my Emma!! Robbyn came over one day and we took Emma for a walk to the park to swing on the swing....and for a ride with mommy down the slide....it was cold that day...heehee

Here Emma is reading her favourite book from Grandma...aawwwe...such a big girl...

After our walk we came home and dressed Emma up in a ballerina outfit with a tootto and everything and took pics of her....talk about cuteness!!! I thought she was cute when she was born....she keeps getting cuter!!!!

Speaking of ballerina's.....this weekend I had the opportunity to go watch the future National Ballerina of the World dance this weekend in Belleville....yes you guessed it that would be Shannon....she was the Snow Queen in the The Nutcracker Ballet...And when she came out onto the stage....I was soooo nervous for her that I couldn't wait until she was done dancing....it was too much for me to handle...she was sooooo friggin amazing I cried...I love her.This next pic I'm not a fan of though....hand of boy in tights + Shannon's boob = me beating the crap out of fairy boy in tights.

How am I even related to that talent right there??? look at her......*sigh* Here's some news...Emma now eats pablem....if thats how you spell it...lol......She is the cutest when she eats....she's at the stage where everything goes in her mouth it doesn't matter if it makes her face screw up and her whole body shudder.....it's soo hilarious! Well I think thats all folks...lately I've just been picking up as many shifts as I can and helping pop out babies left right and center....maybe next time I'll write one of my new exciting baby stories but this blog is long enough so you'll have to wait until next time! Andrea is coming home for a bit....so i'm pretty anxious for her to get here....she hasn't been home since Nichole's wedding...it should be good....well I'm off to bed then....I'll keep you updated on my exciting life! ha ha

My Generation- by Starfield
There is something more
Hello, we're going down the hallway to the door,
We know there's something more,
Our soul has got a hole, we know, but what's it waiting for?

Scattered in the streets
Like dreams and gasoline
The things we wanna be are scattered in the streets
And if we're coming clean,we seem to know we're incomplete

How do we feel?
How do we feel?
My genereation is aching for real,
Dying for love,
Crying for truth,
My generation is aching for You!!

A country of our own,
Is all we're asking for,
A place to call our home,
A country of our own,
We know it must be close
Our souls are searching through the cold, the cold, the cold

2006-10-02T13:16:00.000-05:00

Hey all! I figured it was time to write a little blog...it's been awhile...I'm not sure anyone reads this anymore but I felt like writing so here goes.

Is anyone else surprised that it is already Octocber 2??????....What happened???....Where the heck did summer go???....I feel like it didn't even happen....This is the first summer that I actually did nothing but work...literally nothin...I didn't go anywhere....so sorry I don't have any exciting stories about what I did this summer that don't include a labouring woman, an infant or a placenta! (or all of the above) It's been nice paying off my student lone though...so I can't complain!

Oh so here's something new...Robbyn and John moved out! They bought a cute little house right across the river from us....Oh and you all know Nichole has been gone for awhile...newly married...YEAH...and then I haven't seen Andrea since the wedding....not cool...and then Shannon moved back to Belleville....not Yeah....oh and then on the same weekend Bryanne left me for T.O...another not cool (for me anyways)...and then Scott decided to work this year instead of going to school...he works the night shift...so I see him like never ....and now I cry myself to sleep....Last week I had a nasty cold that I got from Clayton's boogs...thanks Clayt....and I actually was soo sick I sat in the dark by myself for hours....by myself....in the dark...hours....my lifes been good...........................................................................

Anyways, on to better things Emma got her first teeth! She is sooooo frigging cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly people....just look at her....she looks like a little bunny rabbit...I love being an Auntie!!! You can never be sad around Emma! She always makes me feel so good...even now I feel better about myself just even writing about her....I actually have something to live for....I'm not all alone after all...*sigh*.....
This is me trying to study for my RN exam...but honestly how can you study when that face is looking at you!!! I will be getting my results back from my exam soon people....just to let you know....scared....just thinking about it makes me have heart palpitations...

Shannon's driving now people!!....look out!....You are never going to live down your first driving expereince with me Shannon...never... "Shannon, slow down....brake Shannon...brake Shannon....Brake....BRAKE BRAAAAAKE!!!!!.....get out of the car...."

Here are some pics from the cornroast this August at Bre's!! Good times... The boys.....

Smile Shannon...then you wouldn't look soo scarey....."I'm still, I'm still, Shannon from the hood, yo!"

Awwwee.....I miss being in those arms......

Awwwwe....I miss being in those arms........

Who's legs are these????

Do I smell corn??...Clayton?

A face only a mother could love.........

"This fall coming to a TV near you....Prisonbreak....season premiere...starring Cameron Zeta Jones."

Scott says "Heeeyy....look at me...."

This is Surprisingly Happy Cam.......

Clayton getting his freak on....."shake it like a polaroid picture."

Laugh Out Loud

2006-08-05T14:03:00.000-05:00

Heeeelllllooooooo again!! To all of you people who I haven't talked to all summer (Jackie, Mel, Mess, Annabeth...etc.) know that I love you and miss you and have been thinking about each of you and how I am such a horribley selfish person right now that I haven't called you and talked to you guys....my apologies. Life....Life has been good actually, stressful at times but mostly good....and when those stressful times come I have to constantly remind myself that I have a good job and that I am happy right now so stop being stressed!
Anyways, I just thought I'd update this thing in case any of you read it. So I am on my own now at work and its very exciting/scarey....mostly scarey....lol...But the nurses I work with have been really good and make me feel like I'm not totally left on my own. I'm learning lots and studying lots too...my exam is in 4 days...WOW...that gets my heart beating a little faster....It should be absolutely brutal...so i've been told...8 hours of shear brutality. And yet I'm sort of looking forward to it....does that make me literally insane? Maybe its just that I am looking forward to actually being done....and oh yeah by the way I am planning on having a HUGE Birthday party....I'm not quite sure what it will entail but I think that I deserve to celebrate big time this year...so I'll keep you posted on the details.
Well I think thats all for now people...I hope all of you have been enjoying your summer...Please don't hate me for not keeping in touch as much as I would like...I will be a better friend soon I promise! On wednesday pray for me that I will do well on my exam!! Okay see ya!!

Once again....

2006-07-10T09:38:00.000-05:00

Wow....so I haven't written on this thing for quite some time and today for some strange reason I feel like writing. So lots has happened since the last time I wrote....most of you know (and are just as shocked as I am) that Nichole got married....to Mike Berkelmans....FINALLY she's out of the house. And yet she keeps coming back.....Anyways here is some nice pics of the special day.

Yes Scott is wearing a pink tie....heehee! And he looked pretty darn good in it...........he's secure in his manhoodness people....lol...

Anyways, other things have happened as well....like I finally got my temp liscense so I have started working and getting paid....it feels sooooo good. So right now I don't have much of a life....cuz on my off time I have to study for my RN exam which I write on August 9th.....so at least I will be ALL done everything before my birthday....I'm thinking this year I want a big party....I haven't had one in a long time and I think this year I deserve to celebrate a few things. Like for instance I graduated...I'm done people...I'm almost an adult....the turning 23 this year will make it official.
What else has happened that I can tell you all about???....not much other than that...Robbyn and John have just put an offer in for a house so soon I will be the only one left at home.....if I think about it long enough it's quite depressing so lets move on....Emma is as cute as ever....she is 2 months old now and smiling and googling and making bubble spit...shes quite the cutie....
Well that seems to be it people...now I have to go and shower and study...maybe I'll keep this updated a bit more regularly....

The Cutest

2006-05-11T18:13:00.000-05:00

My baby niece is the cutest in the WORLD!!! She is sooo cute...especially when she lets out a great big toot! I thought I was in love with Annabeth's cuties (which I still am) but hokeedina!!!! Emma Grace is soo sweet...and good smelling. I can't stop looking at her! And yes I have already taken well over 100 pictures of her!!! HAHAHA!!! You thought I was bad with taking pictures of Annabeth's cuties...but that just got me cooking people!! And yes if you are going to be reading my blogs for the next little while they are all going to be about Emma, okay!!! I just want to hug her and squeeze her and kiss her all over!! If you find yourself in a bad mood lately people....I highly suggest getting yourself a niece....Actually a niece is good for lots of things...like if your feeling bored....or lonely...or needing to snuggle... or not wanting to clean your Grandma's house....or tired of watching TV, just stare at her face for a couple of hours and you'll be just fine!! Did I mention that my niece is the cutest?????

Emma Grace Klein

2006-05-09T15:25:00.000-05:00

Congratulations John and Robbyn! I love you both!! Especially your new Emma!!! I could look at her cute face and smell her cuteness all day!!

The Story of Lucky

2006-04-26T18:12:00.000-05:00

This is a story about a baby bunny named Lucky.

Today Robbyn awoke and was looking outside the livingroom window only to see three of her kitty cats chasing after something in the cider trees. Wanting to help the poor little critter from being tossed around by her cats, she went outside and rescued what turned out to be a baby bunny. Sooooo cute!! Robbyn thought that this bunny was pretty lucky to have narrowly escaped the claws of her cats and thus the little bunny was named Lucky.

I came home from cleaning to discover Robbyn snuggling on the coach with little Lucky. Soooo cute!!! We both were immediately attched to her but knew that there was no way that 1 little bunny could survive in a house with 8 cats. So we trudged out to the back yard and let it free...only little Lucky came hopping back to us. So we brought her back into the house and fed her grass. Soooo cute! We decided that we were going to find a nice home for Lucky because we could not find her mother or her borrow anywhere. In the meantime the three of us spent the afternoon together!

Lucky loved to snuggle.....

Lucky loved to hop in the grass.....

Lucky loved to play in the cider trees....

Lucky even loved to play on the piano.....

But then Lucky died....(from internal injuries we think)

So we dug a grave, said our goodbyes.......

And placed Lucky in it...

Lucky was not so lucky after all.............. Rest in Peace Lucky.

Well well well!!! Haven't written on this thing for ages!!! And guess what??? Lots has happened!

First off, I am finally done my consolidation....and in the process I got my phlebotomy, IV and NRP certifications!!! My last day at clinical was CRAZY!! I went out with a bang... In the morning we had a vaginal birth...then had a late break at like 10:30...then went in and circulated for a c-section and looked after mom and baby post-op....then we had another late lunch break at like 2:45....then we got assigned to a lady who was labouring but not doing much and then got RE-assigned to circulate in ANOTHER c-section!!!...My last supper break was like 10 minutes and I was sooooo tired and shakey but I had fun!!! I love it!! I love that I am feeling more confident as a labour and delivery nurse and also just as a nurse....I am starting to realize how i want my practice to be and what kind of nurse I want to be.

Anyways....in all the crazyiness of this past month I had an interview for the floor I was working on and guess what?????????????????? I GOT THE JOB!!!!! I'm going to be a labour and delivery nurse!!!! I freaked out completely when I got the call! (Scott knows...thanks for being so patient with me ;) So they hired me on as regular part-time which means that I am guarenteed at least 4 shifts in a pay period!! Crazy eh!!! So I begin very soon actually....thanks for all your prayers people!!!!

On to even more good news...Scott got a job too!!!!! Wow...we are getting to be soo grown up eh! Real jobs and everything! Way to go Scott!! I love you!! You're awesome!!!

The last couple of weeks have been very very busy from Andrea's and my Grandma's birthday brunch...It was nice to hang with Andrea...even if it was short....Shannon came home for that too...then it was my mom b-day on friday!! Happy B-day Mom!!! and then Shannon came home AGAIN because of Easter this weekend.....We pretty much vegged all weekend and I LOVED it!! Its sooooo nice to not have to worry about final papers and exams and what not.....instead I get to do things like read a book because I want to...and sun tan on beautiful days like today!! Good luck to all of you who are in the middle of the exam battlefield...I'll be thinking of you...briefly...heehee....

Well thats all folks...now I am just eagerly counting down the arrival of my new little niece or nephew!!! 6 days to go!!! I'll keep you posted on that one for sure!!! Ciao!!!!!!

Guess who I miss...

2006-03-22T12:36:00.000-06:00

I miss Marley.

Life filled with babies...

2006-03-20T16:57:00.000-06:00

WOW!! I haven't written on here in almost a month!! That just shows you how busy the month of March has been for me! Absolute craziness....and I guess it's not over!

Well I have nothing really to complain about...Shannon came home for her March break and I got to actually hang out with her once....she needs to come back for another week....Andrea comes home tomorrow for a quick visit...so that should be cool to see her...

My life is filled with babies people and I am LOVING it!! I just applied to like 5 different job openings at the Family Birthing Centre and am PRAYING my little heart out that I will get a job there....so please...any of you that want to send your prayers my way I would appreciate it.

There really isn't anything exciting going on with me right now...I love taking people's blood though...I guess thats just another sign that I am in the right profession for me...heehee...

Oh here's something cool...I bumped into one of my patients husband's at school and he was so thankful to me and said that he and his wife appreciated all the help I gave them when she was giving birth. And get this, he sells school rings (thats why he was at Western) and he said to me that if I was wanting a school ring that it was on him!!! CRAZy eh!! I didn't know how I felt about it but both my parents think that I should get the ring because it's a blessing...and that he wanted to bless me....I thought that was pretty cool though....a little encouragment to me that what I am doing is actually something good....

Anyways, thats all folks...hope everything is going well with all of you!!!

Not just a pretty face

2006-02-27T10:55:00.000-06:00

So being the good boyfriend that Scott is, he took me out to dinner on friday....and even got me flowers! Isn't that sweet!....just wait...it gets even better. At dinner, to set the mood, Scott leans over and whispers to me sweetly and softly..."I'd forgotten how good you can look...you know...dressed up."......just let that one sink in.......thats like saying "I'd forgotten that you CAN look good."....The guy tries people....he really tries....

Confessions of an Obessed Mind

2006-02-22T09:00:00.000-06:00

So I have a confession...It may be shocking to some of you...I just feel that I need to get it off my chest. I, Danielle Ellis,...... am addicted...... to Lost. I'm not the only one you know!! Scott is too....I think he is even more addicted than I am....He even admits to having a none romantic crush on Locke (one of the male characters)....Together, we watched the first 24 episodes in about a week...Then we could not wait for the next season to come out on DVD so....Scott has been downloading season 2 episodes onto his computer ever since....It's so addicting. It may even be par with my chocolate addiction...not quite but close.
Well there you have it folks....don't jugde me people...just go out and rent the first season over at Movie Gallery and you will see for yourselves...

How it all began...

2006-02-14T13:26:00.000-06:00

*Our first picture together*

Happy Valentine's day everyone!!!! Valentine's day is extra special to me because exactly 3 years ago today Scott and I started our "MSN buddies" relationship. lol. It was actually quite sad because I was home by myself studying for an exam I had to write the next day and Scott was home waiting for his other single guy friends to go out to the movies together....Which of us was more pathetic? lol....Well Valentine's Day is where it all began people. *Theme song* "Love is in the air"...

Well last night I did my first 12 hour night shift at St.Joes....it went well....considering that on the way in the roads became so slippery that I spun out of control and went into a ditch and two random and helpful guys had to come and rock my car out and back onto the road......That was mt first experience with actually losing all control of my car....I'm okay though and I actually made it into work with like 2 minutes to spare...I did however realize that I had left my CAA card in my wallet back at home and my cell phone...What good is having a CAA card or a cell phone if at that times that you need them both you don't have them.....silly me!

Well thats about all people...I hope all of you eat lots of Valentine's chocolate even if you don't have anyone to share them with....just know that I won't be sharing them either...kisses for you!!!!

And I love him

2006-02-09T12:40:00.000-06:00

Heeellloooooo!! It's been awhile! And boy have I been busy!! I have way too many baby stories to tell you all and quite framkly I'm too tired to even type one of them....I just finished a stretch of three 12 hour days...and it actually didn't kill!!!! But I think the only reason I stayed sane was because Scott came and visited me every night!!!! Thanks baby I love you!! He even bought me chocolate last week when I was really stressed and tired and crying my balls-- eye balls that is -- out! For some girls its flowers...for me its chocolate...:)...but Scott if you're reading this that doesn't mean you don't have to buy me flowers for Valentines Day.....LOL!!!
Well..I also just wanted to let you all know that Bethany is evil! Yes...I know thats a shocker...but she may look all cute and innocent but she is evil to the CORE!!! Today she phoned me up and asked if I would go work out with her at curves....you know making it seem like she was being nice and all...but then when we went and started working out sure enough there just happened to be an ab work out session going on with Shelly. You may be thinking to yourselves.."That doesn't sound so bad!" Well...you say that because you have never been to one of Shelly's ab classes....and let me tell you!!!! Bethany knew....she tried to deny it....but she knew...and the torture people.....I actually thought that my intestines would puncture through my abdomen wall and spill all over the exercise ball....it hurt people....it hurt bad.

Well thats enough complaining for me....if you want to hear about my many baby stories just let me know and I'll tell you....or if you don't have time to talk to me...just comment and maybe next time I'll write you all a juicy/ heart warming/ bloody/ cute little story.
Peace out!...PS I have the best boyfriend in the universe and I love him.

Don't be jealous!

2006-01-31T13:44:00.000-06:00

So yesterday was quite eventful!! I was supposed to work a 12 hour shift and so I went to work and my nurse was assigned to Triage. Which was cool because then I got to see the role of those nurses. So the day was going well until I heard that one of the expectant mothers tested positive for influenza virus....And guess who hasn't had her flu shot???....thats right ME!!! I kept post-poning and post-poning getting it done because I keep hearing weird and bad things happening to people (close to me) who get the flu shot. So I tried to keep my mouth shut as people asked around who hasn't got their flu shot and then finally my nurse turned to me and asked "Do you have your flu shot?" Nope! Crap! I had to be sent home...along with a number of other staff. So today I am going to Doctor Wahby's to get Tamaflu...a pill you take for like 14 days...so then I can go back to work!! Drama drama!
Oh yeah...my mom joined Curves last night and we went together!! And tonight Bre and I work out when she gets home from work...we are work out QUEENS!!!!! So next time you see me try not to be jealous....its all curves baby....all curves....

Life is good

2006-01-27T06:50:00.000-06:00

Hey All!! I've got some more baby stories!!!!! So I just finished two days of my first 12 hour shift at the Family Birthing Centre....and it was a couple of tiring days! So the first day I was pretty excited and not really as nervous, come to think of it, as I thought I would be. I was just a little unsure of what i was supposed to be doing.
So the first woman we got was already in labour when we got there and her contractions were getting really strong and closer and closer together....she wanted an epidural so my nurse got the ball rolling to get the anaesthetist in. So then I got to listen to the baby's heart rate and feel the contractions....I even got to do my very first vaginal exam!!!! Pretty cool, I know! (She couldn't feel it though because she had the epidural)...then I got to put in my very first female catheter. I've put in male catheters...which is WAY easier...but not feamle ones...so that was a first. To make a long story short she ended up having complications which led the doctors to agree that she needed a cesarean section. So then I got to be the circulating nurse...which means I circulate around the room making sure everything is going well....we have to tie up the doctors and nurse gowns...that the woman is fine....doing counts of the equipment....drawing up umbilical cord blood...I actually got to do that...very cool!!!... We also do a LOT of charting and then we follow the parents all the way through to recovery and do the baby assessments and stuff. By the end of my first shift I was beyond exhausted and my shoulder was hurting so bad that I couldn't even use that arm to drive.
Day 2 was better for me though....I wasn't as tired and the nurse let me gradually do more and more things. In that day we followed two woman through cesarean sections and then to the recovery room. Everything is pretty overwhelming but I am the kind of person that likes routines of things. Everyday is different and yet you have an order of what you have to do with each woman. So its oderly chaos sometimes...lol...and I am beginning to think that I am REALLY going to love working there!....Oh yeah...yesterday when I was in surgery with one of the women we had to call and ask for blodd gases and coombs to be done on the blood we had drawn up from the cord. Then there was a knock on the dorr and the nurse said "Oh thats probably your blood labels" so I answered the door and guess who it was?????? Becky Bennett!!!! I was like "HEY!!!" Of course I was dressed in mask and hair net thingy! lol! It was cool to see a familier face though!
Well thats all the stories I have for you so far....I work lots next week so I'll keep you all updated!
Oh yes and another thing...yesterday it was Robbyn's 26th birthday! Happy Birthday Robbyn!!! AND....Shannon and Andrea come home this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well thats all folks.....ciao!

A Baby Story

2006-01-24T14:27:00.000-06:00

Hey everyone!! Today was an AWESOME day!...why, you ask?....Because I got to witness my very first birth!!!! It was a cesarean section of a Vietnemese woman. It was SOOOOOOOO amazing! Everything was going so fast....and I looked away for like a second and they has ruptured her water so it was gushing all over the place and us three nursing students stood back and it was a good thing we did because sure enough some of her water sprayed high into the air and landed right where we were standing...LOL! And then within seconds the doctors had the baby out!!!! Of course you all know me and you know what I did next! Yes, I cried. Not a lot....but I cried. I could cry right now just thinking about it. A beautiful baby boy named Jacob. 5 lbs, 9 onces. And sooo soo sooo sooo cute!!! Every little part of him was so amazing. We got to do the baby assessment on him, as the typical proud Asian father took pictures and video of our every move with him! Sooo cute! We even worked right through our lunch and I didn't even know it! I think that I am REALLY going to enjoy myself working there. The rest of our day was learning how to scrub into a cesarean section and set up all of the equipment and stuff....well I work the next two days 12 hours so I'm sure that I will have plenty more baby stories to share with you...Until then...keep thinking of me....up to my elbows in placenta!!! LOL!!!ciao!

Some new news?....Well Bre and I decided to join Curves!!! Yes...that means that I will be working out! As crazy as that might seem! It was actually really fun!...the new place is bigger and better!.....What else can I tell you?? Not a whole lot....I'm just excited/scared about starting my new placement...I start on Wednesday...7 am-7 pm! Back to the 12 hour shift work....lets all pray that I don't lose 7 pounds again!!! I worked so hard to gain some of that back over the Christmas holidays! hahaha! Lets just say that my cupeth does not overfloweth anymore--eth....lol...

Well....I had my first day of orientation today and let me tell you!!!!!!!! So I get to do a lot of cool things....I'm not meaning to brag but I do.....cool things like be with the mother during her labour and give her comfort through drugs and support...also I get to give catheters when needed.....I get to scrub in when my patient is going to have a C-section.....I get to be that nurse that you always see in the delivery room on the "Baby Story" shows that wipe down the baby and hand him/her to the mother or father......I get to do LOTS of baby assessments which means I get to hold a LOT of babies....I get to draw up umbilical cord blood....very cool....AND I get to learn how to put in IVs and take blood from the mother....WOW!!! I'm going to be such a pro when it comes to Robbyn's baby....hopefully....The only problem is I need to know SOOOOOOO much....and you know me....I can get a little stressed. However, I have been praying every day for God's peace and that I will learn and retain all the information that I need to know............*sigh*......so far so good.

Other than that...I'm feeling quite needy right now....a combination of needy and tired....so as early as it may be....I think its time for bed!!! Cya!

2006-01-03T11:06:00.000-06:00

I thought I was well over due for writing another blog!
Well this Christmas has been great! Lots of friends, family, and fun times!!! I am going to miss Shannon when she goes back on sunday!! :( I've gotten used to her being here again!
My consolidation orientation starts on the 11th. I went to pick up my orientation "booklet" which turned out to be a HUGE binder plus 15 spiral bound booklets. And I have to read it ALL by next wednesday! I admit that I already started to freak out a bit!....okay maybe more than a bit.....but I'm doing better....heehee....

Well I thought I download some pics onto here to show you all the fun I have been having this Christmas! Enjoy!

Freedom feels funny

2005-12-19T17:01:00.000-06:00

So yesterday was my last exam....for this year...only one more to go... The BIGGY....my RN exam next June 7th. That should be fun studying for! Well yesterday's exam went horribly...well I didn't do as much studying as I had hoped...but come on...the week dragged ooooonnnn soooo loooooooonggg. Well at least it is done!!!!

Robbyn and John moved in this week and you know what that means!!!!! EIGHT CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They aren't liking eachother very much right now....but hopefully soon they will feel more comfortable. It already smells like Robbyn's house downstairs....too cute.

So now that I am finished with school....I need to do some last minute Christmas shopping, clean my grandparent's house, clean Lance's house, bake lots and lots of cookies, and then???????? wait for it................................................................PICK SHANNON UP FROM THE TRAIN STATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH! Shannon is finally coming home for---2weeks! It will be nice having all the girls back home again. We all haven't been togehter since we visited Shannon at Quinte in the summer....good times......

Well I can tell you right now that I am in dyer need of some Scott time. Feeling lonely. It's weird how when your single you fill your time with lots of things....but then when you get a boyfriend all those "lots of things" could be "lots of things with Scott"....LOL....anyways...I miss you Scott.

Well this Christmas I want to spend LOTS of time with ALL my friends and have LOTS of good fun. I know in my last blog I stated that I was needy for friends, family and Scott....well I still am....so bring it on biatches!!! lol! Thats about all folks..........xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Needy for the holidays!

2005-12-12T17:01:00.000-06:00

So most of you already know but I just thought I'd tell you all that I finally found out where I am consolidating new semester!!! THE FAMILY BIRTHING CENTRE!!!! at St. Joes. That was my first choice! So I am really excited!!! I prayed and prayed and prayed that I'd get it, I wanted it so badly!.....now I am a little scared cuz I need to know what I'm talking about!!! eeeeeeee!!

Robbyn and John are moving in this weekend.....YEAH!! That is fun!!!

I have already written 2 exams....one to go...NEXT MONDAY!!! Argh! I reall am not wanting to study AT ALL!

I think that Christmas holidays couldn't have come at a better time....I am feeling needy for friend time....family time....and fun time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And of course lots of Scott time...;)

Bored...so bored....soo soo bored

2005-12-08T16:31:00.000-06:00

I'm feeling really ansey right now...I don't even know if thats how you spell ansey??? Oui...non? I think it may be because I have been studying all week.....and I just don't want to study anymore!!!!!!.....but I have to. Have you ever seen that bank commercial with the bank people having their hands in your pockets....people walking around with other people's hands in their pockets....I like that commercial...don't know why...maybe because I like the song..."Hands in my pocket, hands in my pocket, hands in my pocket." LOL!

My Addie has been a snotty girl this week...its because she has fleas and they have bitten her all over so she has little scabs all over her fluffy body. Poor littel Addie.....

So I am done classes....FOREVER...FOR-EV-ER....FOR--EV--ER........YEAH!!!! But turns out that I needed to book an appointment to get my grad photos done awhile ago so now I won't be in the big class picture thingy....ooops...

Okay well thats all....just wanted to let you know that I am bored...so bored...soo soo bored.

We wish you a Merry Christmaas, We wish you a Merry Christams, We wish you a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!!! lol!! I've been playing them over and over and over and over and ovr again...just to annoy Nichole...funny, it seems to be working!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Well things are going well with me....finished and handed in my last nursing scholarly paper!!!!!!!!!!! Now all I have to do is my reflective summary journal, my individual assignment, finish up clinical, have my final evaluation, do my group presentation and study and write my exams......*breathe*

I can not wait until Christmas....I even have another idea for gifts this year that is inexpensive and personal!! :) Its just a matter of trying to find the time to do it! Anyways...you know who I had a dream about? Kristy! Where the heck are you??.....My parents went to visit Shannon last weekend and it made me miss Shannon even more because I wasn't able to go....but she had a good weekend with her friends and mom and dad and andrea and rick! Miss you Shannon!! Almost done people....almost done!!!!!!!

Be still

2005-11-14T15:14:00.000-06:00

Here's a little update....I worked two 12 hour shifts this weekend....which actually went ok...surprisingly...then it was Scott's Birthday!!! Happy 23rd Birthday Baby! I love you! Robbyn brought two of her cats over just to let them get used to being at our house....its going to be crazy having 8 cats all at once when they move in. A cat in every corner. Robbyn is getting a bigger belly...so cute...I have a paper I need to get cracking on...blah...I was listening to a song this morning and I was kinda worrying about this stupid paper and also thinking about how self-centered I can be and how I get so caught up in how life is affecting me and how I am feeling about things and I was just asking myself Why do I get like this? And then I realized that I take matters into my own hands way too often. The song that I was listening to at that time was saying "I will be still and know You are God." So often life gets so crazy and hectic and we lose the simplicity of taking all of our cares and asking God to help us and then just sit back, be still and know that God will help if you ask Him to. Anyways those were just my thoughts....I miss Shannon...well I guess thats not new news....Thats about it I guess...Nothing too exciting...just the usual. I am excited for Christmas....I can not wait to decorate and stuff...its a great time of year. Anyways....hope life is going well for all of you!

Nothing like a good cry

2005-11-07T20:02:00.000-06:00

So another weekend goes by....It was a pretty good one too. On friday night Scott took me out for dinner...I was a complete emotional wreck...but had a good cry and the rest of the night was very nice. I should have had a cry BEFORE I went on the date and then I would not have had to hold back for so long and then burst into explosive tears and sobs. Don't get me wrong...Scott tried his very hardest to be the best boyfriend being patient, sweet, sensitive and loving but when a girl needs to cry a girl needs to cry.

Anyways, Scott still loves me. Then on Saturday I worked 1-7 and hung out with Bre. We giggled and laughed and ate and talked and found a mouse in her basement ceiling. Overall it was a nice evening ;)

On Sunday we had my Mom's side of the family over. I haven't seen them since I got my bottom braces on!!!!! That's insane!!!! Thats way too long. It was a good day though of eating and talking and watching Fraggle Rock! Yes as in the Muppet show! My sister Robbyn found the first season of Fraggle Rock on DVD at Best Buy!!! AMAZING!! It brings back such good memories. "Down in the Fraggle Rock!" (clapp clapp)

After that Scott came and studied at my house while I watched TV. This morning my mom could not find the romote for our TV and my sister automatically assumed that Scott accidentally took it home with him. She said that he is the one who left East Side Marios with his drinking cup in his hand and didn't realize it until driving in the car!! LOL! So of course after looking high and low for it my family came to the conclusion that Scott was the culprit. So I called Scott and he looked high and low for it only to say that no he didn't have it. Although because we accused him of it he was second guessing himself huge!!! Then my sister decided to have some pop-corn. So she goes to the cupboard and finds the "Smart Choice" Pop-corn bag and when she picks it up she thinks "Man this bag is heavy!" Sure enough when she looks inside, there is our remote!!!!! LOL! Its a stupid but funny story so laugh okay!!!!! Sorry Scott for jumping to conclusions and blaming you!!! heehee!!

Anyways, thats about all folks, I am trying my hardest not to stress out right now because I have a LOT of homework due this month! "Be anxious for nothing, but in EVERYTHING by prayer and supplication, let your requests be made known to God, and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will gaurd your hearts and your minds through Christ Jesus." Phil 4:6

Shot out of a Cannon

2005-11-03T11:07:00.000-06:00

I feel like I just got shot out of a cannon!! The beginning of this week consisted of skipping out on my classes and staying home to study for my exam on Wednesday. After I got that exam done, last night I became a maniac and got lots of pressing homework done. And it feels sooo goood. Isn't that lyrics from a song or something? "And it feels sooo goood."?? LOL.....Anyways, back to the firing me out of a cannon....Now I am like non stop thinking about this I have to do and that and get this done and call that person and write up this and get organized and crap.
I think I have to apologize though.....Sorry Scott for being such a nut job.....I love you. period.

Yes I admit that I am a head case. I knows it, Scott definitely knows it, Bre knows it, Bree knows it, my family sure as heck knows it. But you ALL LOVE ME!!!! :)

So I have some exciting yet weird and funny news. Robbyn and John have decided to move into out basement for a couple months. So they can save the rent money for a bigger down payment on a house here in Dodge!!!! Can you believe it!!! I'm happy about it though. Poor Robbyn is probably tired of being lonely in her 1 bed room apartment, on the 15th floor way the heck out in London. So yes that is right....we will have 8 cats in our small little house. Yes EIGHT! as in more cats in the house than people.....LOL! We are going to need LOADS of air freshner....so nyone wanting to donate some would be fine by me! I am glad they are moving here though because then I get to see Robbyn's pregnancy EVERYDAY!!! :)

Well I think thats about it folks.....This month is going ot be insanely busy for me so if you see me twitching or what not just pray for me. LOL! BYES!!!!!

My so called Life

2005-10-31T13:41:00.000-06:00

Helllooooo everyone!!! Well this weekend was a good one.....busy but good....On Thursday my Dad got his wisdom teeth out and then my mom went away for a couple of days so I was in charge of being his nurse. And man was he bossy! lol! And he wouldn't listen! I had to clean that day for Lance so i told Nichole "Make sure you keep an eye on him and don't let him do anything but rest!" What do you think I found when I came home?? My Dad in work clothes painting the upstairs bathroom!!! And then the next day he put in new flooring in the bathroom!! I was like "DAD YOU NEED REST!" Sure enough when Mom gets home hes all tired and listens to her!! lol! All I kept thinking was that Dad was sooo much like my mischeivious Grandpa!!!

I ended up working with Carly on friday for the first time in awhile. When she went to bed Robbyn came over and then ended up sleeping over all weekend! LOL! Silly Robbyn wants to live in Dorchester sooooo badly. We went to a couple of open houses around Dorchester but they were all to pricey and really really old houses!

At church we played another new song. All for Love. I have to give props to Chris, Clayt, Cammo and Nichole for being able to play it even though we only just practiced it in the morning for like 15 mins!!! You guys are awesome....and according to Robbyn, Clayton makes the band.....lol....I know he's a good little drummer boy!

What else can I tell you.....Sunday night we had our first Young adults Bible study and it actually was good I thought. We are studying Ephesians. Very cool.....then Scott and I finally got to hang out for a couple of hours....which was nice considering that my competition is pretty fierce...cough*Cam*cough....just kidding!!!!

Well I think that is all that is going on in my life right now....still missing Shannon...oh yeah Andrea didn't show up this weekend like she was supposed to ....that sucked but what can you do....so I guess I am still missing Andrea too....and Bre cause I didn't get to see her this weekend...but I think she was at Acquire the Fire come to think of it....and Bree....of course...can't wait for our date in Novemeber....

Well talk to all of you laterz!!!

Something real

2005-10-26T19:28:00.000-05:00

Do you ever feel like all you want is to hear someone say something real or have just a real deep conversation with someone? For some strange reason I feel like that right now....I don't know why....
Lately I have been feeling really small, no not small as in small chested Bre! I mean small as in like how could God, who is so powerful, so big, really see me and care about my day to day life? Ever think that? Then I opened my Bible to Ephesians 1:4..."Long before He laid down the earth's foundations, He had us (Me) in mind, had settled us (Me) as the focus of His love." Now thats deep. My mom this week said to me "I knew before you were born." And I was "Okay mom!" thinking that she was getting all "super spiritual" on me but then she said that what she meant was that she knew me in her womb so technically yes, my mom did know me before I was born. I have always wondered about the scripture that said "I knew you before you were even born". I felt that this was kind of a cool analogy. Where that thought came from who knows!! LOL

This is the chorus from a song by Nichole Nordman's new CD called What if, I bought it on Monday:
What if you're wrong?
What if there's more?
What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for
What if you jump?
And just close your eyes?
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?
What if He's more than enough?
What if it's love?

Okay enough of my seriousness!!!! BLAH! Other stuff thats going on is Andrea comes home this weekend yeah!
I had a good time this weekend too. I got to hang with Bre and spend lots and lots and lots and lots of money that I don't have!!!! Gotta love it! I am enjoying my new clothes though...heehee...Bre you are such a bad influence!!!! My dad gets his wisdom teeth out tomorrow morning...awwwe poor Dad...he hates, absolutely hates going to the dentist. I am actually quite surprised that he is actually getting them out....and my mom is going to be gone this weekend so I get to be his nurse!

This sunday we tried a new song at church! that was a little nerve racking for me. But sure enough, the worship band rocked it!! People keep coming up to me and saying "Danielle good job on worship!" But all I keep thinking is that no way could I lead if I didn't have awesome musicians behind me! Yes that is a compliment to you Clayt and Cammo!! You definitely rock hard! "SO I LOOK TO YOU!!!" LOL!

Anyways...hope to see all of you in the near future...

2005-10-19T17:03:00.000-05:00

Does anyone else need to just have some fun?????? Yesterday I went to a Job Fair at my school and it got me thinking. I'm going to be a nurse very very soon.........Thats kind of scarey. I'm going to be an actual grown up...with a real big girl job....making more money than I spend....
Anyways...I just was feeling like I want to lighten things up a bit...school is so blah right now with midterms, papers, journals etc. I feel like I'm too focused on my own crap and I need to focus on others crap more often....lol... I'll give you an example....I am finding out that I don't know things about people that I'm close to that I should know about....(maybe if you guys wrote more often in your blog I would know!;)
Other than that I really have nothing exciting going on in my life...I skipped out on all my calsses today...it felt great....I miss Shannon, Robbyn is getting a bigger belly, Nichole is always wedding planning and Scott and I are...well...great!
I realize that this is a really boring blog...so this is the end. "Beef and cheddar, curly fries, Beef and cheddar, curly fries, Beef and cheddar curly fries, only for $3.99." I hate that commercial.

Good Boy

2005-10-17T10:22:00.000-05:00

Soooo...I have a really good boyfriend. Last week and this whole weekend, it has been kinda stressful. I worked Tues 7am-7pm, Fri 7am-7pm, Sat/Sun 12-7, plus school on the inbetween days, cleaning my grandmas, and working for Lance. By last night I was a complete mess. I tried to be all happy and positive I really did...and for the most part everything went well...thanks to praying a lot! But for some strange reason with Scott I always crumble! I couldn't keep it together last night...crying and blubbering! BLAH! And I was mean to him when he didn't deserve it and everything! I felt like crap. But being the good boyfriend that he is, he surprised me by coming over to hang with me...was really sweet and rubbed my sore back...let me cry on his shoulder and even brought me TWO chocolate bars!!! :) This morning I was really thinking a lot about him and how he puts up with my insane emotional whirlwinds and he still loves me. (He's crazy) In fact he says that that is one of the things he loves about me, how I am such a girl! (He's crazy) I was listening to music at the time and the song was talking about 1 Cor. 13:7 " Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything without weakening." (Amplified Version) I love you Scott. Thank you for "enduring everything" and buying me chocolate! :)

Chocolate Pleeeease!

2005-10-11T19:54:00.000-05:00

Sooooo freaking busy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! argh argh argh argh argh! Needing lots of chocolate! LLLOOOOTTTSSSS!!!!!!

2005-10-03T18:11:00.000-05:00

Auntie Danielle? Aunt Dee? Auntie Dee? Aunt Dino? lol...anyways I am SUPER excited!!
What else is new? Um...this weekend I led worship again and that was fun...we had a band practice and are learning some new sonsg so thats good! Other than that I have been extremely busy with homework! Its "the never ending stooooooory!" Yesterday was sooo busy that when I finally laid down to rest my eyes alittle I fell into another one of those drool all over yourself sleeping fests! When I finally woke up I felt like I was 200 pounds!!!! Argh...then I made myself get up and went to the Drovers house to watch a chick flick with Danielle D, Nichole and Katie....Nichole picked out the movie and all I have to say is that she really showed her age when she picked this movie! Its called "Beaches"...no not the one with Leonardo in it...the one with Bet Midler!!! LOL!!! It was like a 1980's movie that Nichole claims to have been a good one in its time! LOL!! But anyways! While we watch the movie the boys played Ping Pong for like 2 1/2 to 3 hours!!!!! OF PING PONG!!! LOL!
Well I guess thats all folks....this week is going to be a busy one with an Oral Case study, my Political Action Project Presentation, my Psyche exam and a WEDDING!!!!Oh yeah and Shannon is coming home on Friday for THANKSGIVING!!!!! So keep in touch! BYES!!

"Peeing Problems"

2005-09-28T18:52:00.000-05:00

Sooooo...I decided that I am going on strike tonight...I'm on strike against "HMK"!! I have done WAY too much homework in the passed couple of days that I need a break! So....then I thought to myself that I needed to do something fun! Rollerblading? I don't have any blades....jogging? don't have a jogging partner and I only jog in the dark....the movies? don't have any friends to go with me....Rent a movie? solo is never as fun.... Shopping? I'd love to but don't have any money...Hang with Robbyn?...well she's not answering her phone...so that left a good old fun night of writing another blog entry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!
So now you all get to hear about my exciting day in class learning about incontinence...for those of you who don't know what that means, "peeing your panties". Well, I didn't know that there were so many names for peeing problems. Stress incontinence, retention, frequency, urgency, dribbling....Apparently a lot of people have peeing problems. So you don't have to feel badly about yourself Cam! Your not a loner! You just need diapers..huggies perhaps?
Well I forgot to mention something new AND exciting that has happened in my life! I inserted my very FIRST catheter in a real live man...well he slept through it all...which I was glad for...but it wasn't so terrifying as I thought. I mean I have dealt with condom catheters before...the name is self explanitory...but never have I had to actually insert one. Got to love being a nurse!
Anyways...I'm out!

Optimistic

So...Life is busy! From going to class...to working for the VON...to cleaning my Grandparents house...to clinical...to having somewhat of a social life...to readings...to homework....*sigh*...However, I have realized that I should be more happy. I mean I have a good life...even though I stress myself out! I am feeling pretty good right now. Last night I was feeling pretty good too. Scott came over and decided to hang with me!!!! There is nothing that I love more than when Scott comes over and just chills with me and my family! (Well maybe getting flowers unexpectedly...j/k heehee) I LOVE it!
So Shannon was home for the weekend and I got to see her about a total of what 5 hours..? I still miss her and love her...Although it's nice hanging with you Katie...your just not Shannon...so don't even try!! :) I'm just teasing! It was nice to actually chat/eavesdrop with Katie! She is far more put together at 15 then I ever was!!!! Definitely a good catch...;)
So now its off to cleaning my Grandparents house! Fun Fun! Ciao!

Parkwood Hospital Experience

2005-09-23T09:14:00.000-05:00

So yesterday I had my very first 12 hour shift at Parkwood hopsital. I am on the Veterans floor. My nurse's name is Elise and she seems pretty nice...to me. So I got there and we had report...yada yada yada...then I "shadowed" her doing medications...yada yada yada...then helped her with one guy...then went to a meeting...then went on break....then came back and talked over our schedule...then did some blood sugars..then went on luch and so. It was a bit of a slow day...I think I will enjoy working with the patients though. In my time there I got to introduce myself to some of them and they are so adorable. I wanted to be positive about my experience there and for the most part it was a good day. HOWEVER, I think I am going to have some issues with how my nurse and others interact with the patients. My nurse tends to be a little impatient with them...okay maybe a lot impatient with them and snaps at them and rolls her eyes and what not. I don't know if this is because she has been working there for too long (I think this is why) or what. I just feel like saying these are people! VETERANS for crying out loud! They should be treated like royalty! Anyways it kind of bummed me out...I don't want to let that attitude rub off on me. If I ever speak to a patient like that I need to leave the nursing profession. In my eyes its just not acceptable. I just keep imagining them as my Grandpa.....and it infuriates me to think that someone would think they could speak to him that way. ARGH!

Anyways...I am going to keep being me...and keep trying to make small connections with the patients and say kind words and just be kind in general.
Anyways yesterday was my 2 and 1/2 years with Scott! TWO and A HALF YEARS!! Craziness

God knows EVERYTHING!

2005-09-20T09:32:00.000-05:00

So last night I went with Bre to a youth service called the Embassy. Its in Kitchener and on the way there we were both talking how we were tired, emotional, overwhelmed etc. So I guess we were just beings girls! Anyways, so we get to the place and its pretty cool. Lots of young people college aged. And the worship was great too! Then when the youth pastor came up to talk his whole thing was on being overwhelmed in this life with things that stress you out and gave the scripture in Matt 14 about how John the baptist (Jesus' cousin) got his head chopped because of an exotic dancer and when Jesus heard he went away to be alone. The pastor was saying that Jesus gave us a perfect example of what to do when we are feeling overwhelmed. To take a minute to be alone and think and pray. But after that the "great multitude" of people followed him and Jesus felt compassion for them and started healing their sicknesses and then he did the miracle of feeding 5ooo people with a few loaves and fishes!! So Jesus also gave us a good example of what we should do when overwhelmed, keep going on and help those who need it. It was pretty cool that the youth pastor was talking about everything that Bre and I were just talking about in the car on the way up. He than said that sometimes when things are going bad in our lives we tend to think "Oh maybe this is not what I'm supposed to be doing" or "Maybe I'm not on the right path right now". What the pastor was saying is that we should take those "rough times" and know that God is just wanting to shape our character through them and wants us to learn to look to Him in those times in of need.
Anyways it was a really good service and I think we should all go down together sometime! It would be fun I think!

Me + Oragnization = Stress

2005-09-17T17:45:00.000-05:00

Oooooooooookay! So lately I have been stressing about school....and it has only been week 1!!!!! So I thought that to make myself not so stressed I would write down on my calender ALL the things that are due in the next coming months....BAD IDEA!!! So I just figured out why I am a procrastinator! As soon as I realized all the crap that I had due with in the next months I started to feel a constriction in my chest! WOW! Feeling it again! So I now realize that it is better for me to be in my laid back, worry free, only think about whats due a week before its due kind of person! It's just not cool for me to see the big picture because than I freak out about how I'm going to get there and all the work I need to do! *deep beathe*

Anyways so that was my ranting and raving and I need to stop or else I will have another attack! So last night Scott and I started our "couselling" sessions with Val and Steve....what can I say...great food, great company, and some great talks...I think I will enjoy this little "counselling" session every friday night. After that I went home and realized that I needed to send in my top 6 choices for my consolidation rotation next semester. (procrastinator) So then I went into a frantic of where I wanted to go and this is what I came up with: (1) Maternity/Family birthing centre (if I don't get this one I WILL cry) (2) Paediatric Emergency (3) General Surgery (4) Adult Emergency (5) General Medicine (6) Rehabilitation- complex continuing care/spinal cord injuries/ brain injuries.
So those are my options and I definitely need to start my praying about this issue that God's will will be done because I really want to have the opportunity to go to Maternity but if thats not where I am supposed to be than I don't want to go...but really I do want to go.........

Anyways, bottom line is I miss Shannon, Bre, and Bree and if all of you could just move back home it would make my life a little bit easy...so stop being so selfish and start thinking about how you guys are making me feel, being the big loner that I am......Thank goodness I still have my Addie!

Emotional Amusement Park

2005-09-14T22:08:00.000-05:00

Have you ever felt exhaustion, sheer bordem, loneliness, anxiousness, muscle soreness, wide awakeness, and wanting to run around the house-ness...all at one time? I have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel it now! I'm so tired...yet my eyes will not close...they are like taped wide open right now...I'm bored of watching Candian idol and yet I can't tear myself away...I keep going back....All my mucsles are sore from wandering around campus...yes BY MYSELF....and yet I want to run around the block or go nutso on our elyptical thingy! And I feel anxious because of all the crap I have due coming up already! So beat that emotional amusement park! ??? I don't know....this is what happens when you go to school all day and come home to....that would be no one...well at least not Shannon...or Bre...or Bree...or Scott....Anyways.....blah! I feel happy about myself too though...just I feel honestly like I have been taking crazy pills......CRAZY PILLS!!!!!
You all must be wondering about this picture! LOL! When I was searching for a pic to put up I found this one and I thought you guys would enjoy it...especially you Clayton!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!

First day back!

2005-09-12T18:32:00.000-05:00

Well today was my first day back to school and am I ever a LONER!!!! Today in my second class we had to decide what groups of 6 we were going to be in and everyone turned to everyone else in class and I just sat there twiddling my thumbs. Lucky for me my good friend Kirsten decided to take me under her wing and let me be in her group thingy. Needless to say I was really missing my nursing girls Mel and Jackie! Looks like its going to be another year of not seeing them AT ALL!!! And another year of me wandering the campus...anyways. So ya I finally know where I am going for my clinical placement...Parkwood Hospital Veterans Ward. So no I didn't get Maternity, Peds or ER like I wanted to. Parkwood was like my 9th choice or something. But I am determined to be positive! I trusted in God with this decision making process and let go of it and said wherever I am supposed to be I'll be. So I am going to take this opportunity as God's "path" for me right now. I know in previous blogs I have stated that it would be nice to know the ending while you wait for things to unfold in your life but thats just not how God works. I realize more than ever now that I REALLY need to put my full trust in God in EVERY aspect of my life. I feel almost a satisfaction about that too. Because I could wollow in self pity that I didn't get even close to what I wanted for a clinical placemect or I could have the assurance that God is in control and that as I trust in Him He is leading me the way that I should go. I feel that it is WAY more healthy for my mind and spirit to think of this situation like that.
Something else that is new in my life is that for the first time in forever i lead worship at church. Talk about a scarey situation. I knew that I could not in myself even come close to being good enough to lead worship well. So I decided that whatever happened I had to keep my focus on God. What I really desired was to just simply worship Him with all that I have. Even though that may not be much the worship was awesome!!! I haven't felt that kind of worship in a long time. And its awesome to know that it had nothing to do with me but everything to do with the Holy Spirit showing up in a big way. I just simply opened my heart to him and didn't think about anyone else there and to tell you the truth I hardly even remember singing. It's seems all a blurr to me. Anyways I hope to expereince that kind of worship over and over and over again!
Well I guess that is it for me...I hope all of my thoughts didn't go way over your head. I know that I can ramble on and on and I feel like I'm making sense but to others not so much. Anyways, hope all of you are enjoying being back to school...miss you Bre! Until next time!

Keep breathing

2005-09-06T00:17:00.000-05:00

Well, so yesterday was quite a day!!!! From having to say goodbye to Shannon (tear), it still hasn't hit me yet, to driving Bre with Kristy to Kitchener to say goodbye to Bre, we had quite the chat the three of us, to coming home and being alone...missing Shannon, missing Bre, missing life in general. Then I got a call from my Grandma saying that my Grandpa just went into the hospital by ambulance. So my self pity party turned into a thank God I was home for my Grandma. I ended up driving her to the hopsital at 10 pm and staying with her until 1 am. My Grandpa ended up being able to come home but I felt soooo terrible for my poor Grandma...she is completely stressing over my Grandpa's health so much so that her health is deteriorating!
What a week! I can not believe I am still standing. Well that's not true I know how I am still standing and that is because of God's word, lots of prayer and awesome friends to give great hugs and listen! Sometimes I wonder how I would ever be able to cope without being able to go to God with all my problems! I also wonder how God still hasn't gotten fed up with me! Thank goodness He has ten times ten times ten etc. the amount of patience that our small minds can think of. I like this song from the United Live CD and I thought I'd share it! It's called All for Love:

All for love a Father gave,
For only love could make a way,
All for love the heavens cried,
For love was crucified.

How many times have I broken Your heart,
But still you forgive,
If only I ask,
And how many times have you heard me pray,
Draw near to me.

Everything I need is You,
My beginning my forever,
Everything I need is You.

Let me sing all for love,
I will join the angels song,
Ever Holy id the Lord,
King of glory,
King of all.

Everything I need is You,
My beginning my forever,
Everyting I need is You, is You.

All for love a Saviour prayed,
Abba Father have Your way,
Though they know no what they do,
Let the cross draw man to You.

by Mia Fields/ Hillsong

Too many thoughts

2005-09-03T11:04:00.000-05:00

Well I thought I'd write a little something...My head is completely crammed with too many thoughts.
For starters Shannon is leaving and I don't think I have really processed what that really means for me! So I'm not going to talk about it b/c I don't want to face that right now. Secondly, school is starting up next week. I thought I was excited and I guess I am but sort of nervous and scared that this is my last year and then I'll actually be a nurse. Just breathe. Then Scott is starting school. I am so happy for him! I know that he needed some change in his life.
Well thats just a few of the many many thoughts that are going through my head but the rest are too personal for a public sharing. Lately what I have had to keep saying to myself is trust in God, trust in God, trust in God. Wow, that shouldn't be so hard but I am struggling. Today I drove by a church with a sign out front that read "God's invisible hand at work." And I was like hey I would like that hand to be visible please!!! Anyways, I feel like I need a really good shake or a long massage or a relaxing bath...or maybe all three. AAhhh! Why must I be such a girl at times like these!! I feel like I need to laugh a LOT or I'm just going to sit here and cry all day long! I honestly think I probably could do that. So to those of you who are reading this your prayers would be awesome!!! Later....

Just discovered HELLO!

2005-08-30T18:45:00.000-05:00

So yeah Bre and me were just sending pics to eachother through this program called Hello! And it is pretty cool! I feel like a total computer geek right now! I might even go on a chat room or play one of those medival computer geek games where you get to fight dragons and wizards and what not!! LOL! Of course I have Bre to thank for this new found computer geek me!!! Anyways....Today I went and got my criminal background check....hopefully all things check out clear there....Then I went to the Christian book store and spent way too much money! That happens sometimes though..especially to me. So yeah I bought the new Hillsong Church Live worship DVD..it has a pretty cool documentary on a guitar workshop they had. I don't really understand half of what they are talking about but I'm sure if I played a guitar it would be pretty cool! And then I bought the #2 book to a series I'm reading about WWII...very interesting! And then I bought the music book with all the piano/guitar/words to the songs on the United CD! Very cool! I think I will start playing piano again! I think my cool factor would go up maybe one point if I played the piano still...what do you think? lol...People who play instruments always seem to be way cooler than me....I used to be able to say "Yeah I play the piano...and the clarinet!" (as if the clarinet was pretty cool) Now I just say...."well I used to be cool!"...lol...Anyways thats enough, as Bre calls it "jibberish" for one night. Peace out! Oh and Cam if your reading this hurry up and get a blog!

Wedding Day!

2005-08-29T11:56:00.000-05:00

Saturday August the 27th at 1:30, Todd Duckworth and Jasmine Pedde got married!!! It's still hard to believe that a few little words like "I do" can change your life so drastically. Even though it was a rainy day it honestly didn't really matter. Jasmine and Todd were going to have a good time regardless. And we all did. It was really a beautiful wedding. It's awesome to know that Todd and Jasmine truly deserved eachother.
Breanna was forced to say that Scott was going to steal the show b/c he looked so darn good in his tux...and well I'll let all of you decide that for yourselves. Here are a few pics from the wonderful day! Congrats Todd and Jasmine!

2005-08-26T10:59:00.000-05:00

So this morning I got up and got ready to go hang out with Carrie like I always do on fridays but when I got to her house her mom looked at me and said "We don't need you today, we're going on vacation!" oops! That was okay with me though! So I went home and was just thinking about a lot of things and was listening to my new United Live CD (a youth worship team in Australia, very awesome!) And I was thinking how I want to write songs too. So I just started writing things down and the product of my scibblings is this sort of poem about the things I love about God. Call me cheesey but I really enjoyed just writing things down and really thinking about why I love God. So here is my answer...

How I love You- August 26, 2005

I love how you whisper my name,
I love how you pick me up when I have fallen,
I love how you are always there when I need you,
I love how no one else's love will do.

I love your still small voice,
I love how you embrace me,
I love how your arms are always open,
I love how you've always loved me, even when I was broken.

I love how you've never lied to me,
I love how you listen to my every plea,
I love how you always know what to do,
I love how I can fully trust in you.

I love how you want more of my heart,
I love how you know my every inner part,
I love how you created the heavens above,
I love how you draw me deeper into your love.

I love how I will love you all of my days,
I love how you are thinking of me always,
I love how your love for me has no boundary,
But most of all, I love how you laid down your life and died just for me.

2005-08-25T12:57:00.000-05:00

Not very popular!
I've come to realize that my blog is not very popular. I have a feeling no one reads it but maybe Bre...lol...Am I supposed to care?
Anyways, Jasmine's wedding is coming up very very soon and I am sure she is busy busy busy. Todd, Jasmine, Scott and I were supposed to go on a double date not too long ago but now it seems that time has quickly run out! I was thinking about how Jasmine's life is going to change so much very soon, from her name to her address to her responsibilities. Then I was thinking about how many people my age I know that are either engaged or married. Too many to count. This part of our lives I feel has just crept up on me. I used to always wish to remain 16. Sweet 16. I didn't want to get any older. I thought that life would be so much better at that age. So naive. lol. I was reading in a book yesturday that said "What God has done is rightly done." When I think back on my life I had it pretty easy. I have made some mistakes along the way but as I grow older I realize those darker times in my life are what brought me to the place I am in today. I used to ask why did I have to go through those things, heartache, disappointment, failure, regret. It makes sense to me know that what God has done IS rightly done. There never is anything that we go through that God doesn't already know the ending to if we only trust in him. Anyways, thats just what I've been thinking about lately.
Praying for you Jasmine and Todd!!!

2005-08-24T23:01:00.000-05:00

Spending time with Bre!
The past two days I have spent more time with Bre than I have since the beginning of the summer and it was GREAT!! We had our very first sleep over on monday night and talked and talked and talked and talked. I found out things about Breanna that you just don't know about someone until you've had a sleep over with them...like...she wear's a mouth gard to bed...lol...pretty cute...she always wears a bra...even to bed! (bizarre) And she farts in her sleep...just kidding!! LOL So because I had so much fun with Bre I thought I'd dedicate this blog to her by posting some pictures of her! Enjoy!

2005-08-22T14:16:00.000-05:00

Today I thought I'd post a few funny pictures...a little embarassing but if you can't make fun of yourself then you have no right making fun of others and I do that a lot! LOL! Anyways so here are a few! Enjoy! Next time you just might see yourself!!

2005-08-21T23:47:00.000-05:00

Today was a good day. People came over for another bday party for moi...and we ate good food. Then I had a really really good nap. One of those ones where when you wake up you are sooo disoriented and you have drool all down your face. lol. Well that was me! After that we all (Cam, Clayt, Katie, Shannon, Mike, Nichole, Becky and me) went mini putting at East Park. And it was a lot of fun b/c I didn't even care whether or not I did well....actually I was acting like a complete idiot...too much oxygen maybe...but what i really think is that it's Clayton. Whenever I hang with him I morph into his own retardedness. Giggling and making weird random noises and such.
Hey you know what else I was thinking about is when Scott and I went on our date on saturday we went to Williams and sat near two "geeky" looking guys. Now when we were eavsdropping on their convo...they were talking about one of their computer worlds and where talking about Vince and alternate worlds and such. And Scott said that he could totally relate to them but felt that he wasn't fully a geek anymore that he was only half geek now. And I thought what made him change? Getting a girlfriend perhaps?...growing up perhaps?...Scott says no. And he tried to get me in on the male mind and computer worlds. And we came to the conclusion that geeks and there fantasy computer world games have much in common with me and my love for reading books.LOL! So there you have it. From now on think twice about making judgements about those geeky guys in the comic book store or the cyber cafe or the computer game store in whiteoaks mall b/c they really aren't that much different than those of you who like to read. So I guess that excludes Breanna but....she really is a class on her own.
Another thing that I was thinking about is retainers...Okay so i have braces on my bottom teeth b/c we all know about my one crazy tooth that just kept on growing higher and higher until when i smiled it looked like I only had one tooth on my bottom teeth...anyways, my bottom teeth are now getting straighter only b/c of the shift in my bite my top teeth are now separating. What i mean is I am geeting a huge GAP in my two front teeth!!!! Yes a gap!...And it keeps getting bigger...I'm a little worried.....so now I have gone back to wearing my awesome retainer...
Another thought is that I still feel weird that I have a blog...am I doing all of this stuff right? Are you all really that interested in hearing about my less than interesting life? No?....well it's past my bed time peace out.

2005-08-20T16:48:00.000-05:00

Today is Saturday....and you know what that means!!! Well you probably don't and it probably doesn't mean the same to you as it does to me but anyways....it means Scott and I are going on a date....to celebrate my birthday and his finishing his torturous pre-calculas class!!! I don't have anything interesting to say except maybe to ask this question....why do I smell like cheese? think about it.

2005-08-19T16:05:00.000-05:00

Okay...so this is a little weird for me. I don't view myself as a techno-computer-nerdo geek but if Bre can do it so can I!!! I feel kind of weird that I should have a blog cuz really what sort of interesting insightfuls things do I really have to say! But then I read Bre's and again if she can do it so can I!!! I though it would be interesting if I copied Bre and had my first blog as a survey...because I am bored and have been for the last two says so pretend like it interests you! So here it is!! Enjoy!
