I'm Back!!!!

Well I can't lie the real reason i have been gone for so long is becasue I, well I, Well I would rather not say :0)

I am going to do my best to never stay gone this long again. I now know that the internet has because essential to my existance. I thought that it would be no big deal to not have it for a while and just go back to the way I use to do things. Man was I wrong. I hated not having the internet. I did everything on here. Including paying my bills. Has anyone become attached to the easy access and quickness of paying your bills online and then have to go back to paying your bills the old way checks and over the phone. It takes so long and time consumming the old way. oh and don't get me started on online banking. I never want to go without that again. I think I messed up my bank account at least 20 times in the last 2 months because I had to try and remember how to balance my check book without my online access..

Its my vow to never give up my internet again.

Potatoes with Salsa...

OK all,

New food adventure. I was hungry so I tried something new. I cut up potatoes into pieces. I seasoned them with Garlic Salt, Lawry's Salt, and Butter. Don't be skimpy. Then I dumped a 1/2 a can of salsa on top. I covered the pan with foil, and baked it in the oven for 1 hour at 450 degrees. You know what it was so so so so good. Man I keep surprising myself with new things.

Have Fun....

My trip to Cincinatti

Well, I took 18 teens and young adults to a huge conferance called Winterfest this last March. This conferance is put together through the Church of God, and there was over 5,000 teens and young adults that attended. I had so much fun. It was challenging as the leader, and I learned a lot, but it was so much fun. I put some pictures up for you all to see. Now these are only 4 of the 150 some pictures we took, but at least you get the idea.

Me at the aquarium...

My Favorite Fish...

This is my YOUTH GROUP (FUEL Ministries)....

It was so much fun but very tiring...

I COOKED :0)

OK I AM NOTORIOUS FOR NOT COOKING AND IF I DO NOT ALWAYS DOING VERY WELL. TONIGHT THAT CHANGES. I MADE TACO'S AND AM REALLY PROUD OF MYSELF. I ADDED A LOT OF GOODIES INTO THE MIX AND IT TURNED OUT REALLY GOOD. I DON'T REALLY THINK OF MYSELF AS A COOKER BUT TONIGHT IT FELT GOOD TO COOK DARN GOOD, YUMMY IN THE TUMMY, LICKED GOOD TACOS.

THEY ROCKED :0)

Busy, Busy, and Busy....

WOW...

I have been so busy. Working on new developments for my youth group FUEL. Completing the process to become a foster parent. My husband starting a new job. All of this on top of my normal schedule..... ARG

Although it has been a lot I am very excited about all the changes that are coming. I feel that God has really been teaching me about what kind of legacy I want to leave in the world, my community, my Church, my work, and my family. So I am making some changes to be more effective in my personal life and in my network.

I am most excited about completing my foster care license. I cannot waite to start taking foster children and the adventure Dalo and I will take. It is a different feeling. I am nervous, worried, excited, and anxous all in one. Can we do it. Will we be good at it. When will our first one come, I hope it doesn't take a long time for out first placement. I hope that we will be effective in doing a good job as parents. Not having any children of our own, we will be learning as we go, and that scares me a little. I know that it is something that we as a family are supose to do, but like always new journeys always have mix of emotions.

I'm a metal mouth now...

Well, I got my braces on. I am thinking that I am crazy and what have I gotten myself into. My mouth hurts all day long. I can't eat anything but soup unless I smash it up to mush.

Everyone tells me that it will get better, but I am not so sure. I am afraid I won't be able to do this for 2 YEARS....

I will say that I better loose some weight now that I can't eat anything. That will be a good plus.

My new Pic....

This is my best friend and I....

I love her greatly. We have been friends for 9 years and she has always been there for me. She is a great support and I can always count on her.

I hope she is as great a friend to you as she has been to me...

My Teeth Hurt.....

Well, I have decided to go on a little adventure and get braces. I am not sure I am ready for this step, as everyone is telling me scary stories, but I am hoping that it will be worth it in the end. Whats the saying beauty is pain.

One thing I found dunny about my first appointment today was the Doctor told me that I should get different colored rubber bands. I told her don't you think I am a little old for that, and she said come on it is fun...

So the question is should adults wearing braces get colored rubber bands in their mouth?

Meet my puppy....

She is naughty but adorable!!

She is a little loca but funny!!

Her name is Jessie and she is 8 months old. She is a dovermin, german shepard, lab mix.

If anyone knows how to get a dog to stop chasing its tale I am all ears?

Jessie is so crazy for her tale. To the point that she is loosing her hair on the tale.

One thing already tried was buying her Toys ask JOY!!! It did not work.

I took this photo out because I don't like it... I am working on a new one!!!

I don't know what to say.....

Being that this is my first time using this site, I really don't know what to say. I only know one person on here, and while I am looking to make many new friends I am not sure many will read this. Well heres to the future journey if anyone is willing.....
