Catch up with life.....

It's been much too long since I have blogged. But I have an honest reason..... I don't have Internet so I have to go to my mom and dad's to get online. Well things have been very good for us. Joshua is working hard and I'm trying to!! Most all of you reading I'm sure know that we are going to have a baby in Jan. I'm 3 and half months pregnant and feeling much much better since morning sickness is over. We are very excited! Well even though it's been a long time I really don't have much to say. Hope life is good for all of you!!

The big move!!

Joshua and I have finally made it to Salem!! We got to my parents house on sat afternoon. We are hoping to move into our apartment on Wednesday. For the time being I'm taking a break from the packing and unpacking and spending sometime with my family. I have to admit I really don't care much for living out of boxes!! Well I'll keep you all posted about life!!

Packin fun!!!

There comes that point in packing when you honestly don't have a clue what else to put into a box and I'm so at that point. I have almost everything packed but I have almost 2 weeks left so I'm taking a break!!!

Time for change.....

We have all had those times in life when we know that it is time for something to change. We realize that the way things are now is not longer working. Well that is how it has been for Joshua and I. So after much thought and pray, as well as hours apartment and job searching, we have decided it time for us to move. In April we are going to move back to Salem IL. My nursing class will be transferred to Kaskaskia College and I will be finishing my RN there. Joshua has several jobs he is looking into but nothing is nailed down quit yet. So for the Salem people here we come and the Cincinnati folks, it's been fun!! If anyone get the urge to pack........ :-)

Wonderful days!!

I realize it's been such a long time since I blogged but I guess life needs to slow down if I'm to get any blogging done!! This actually is my day to sleep in but I woke up and so I'm laying here looking out the window, listening to the rain fall, and wasting time on here. School has been so very busy but I only have 4 weeks left till summer break and I honestly can't wait! It seems that ever waking moment I have school on mind, a test that needs studying for, a quiz that need finished, a paper that needs written... how wonderful a break sounds!! Well pharmacology is calling..... Have a great day!!

Crazy guy!

You know those days when no matter what you wear, you just feel blah. Well apparently this was one of those days for Josh!!

Frustrating thought

I know I'm probably going to step on a few toes but there has been something really bothering me. It seems that over the last week, since we have gotten a new president, I hear "Christians", people that aim to be like Christ, talking very badly about our Nations leader. The man that deserves our respect, even if we don't agree with everything he does, is only getting support from the selfish, self centered, un-Christlike people of this world. And us Christians standing on our stubborn believe that he is going to be bad for our believes are doing nothing. We took it upon our self to pray and support President Bush but we seem to forget and belittle the president we have now. What happened to respecting those in authority over us! Obama is the man God put over us so I think we need to start supporting and praying for him!!

quick catch up!!

It seems I have once again fallen behind. But I have an honest reason.... I've been busy:-) Lots has happened but I will make it short and sweet! I'm sure most all of you know about Josh's scare. On Jan 6 I was as school when my teacher called me aside and told me my husband was in the ER. That was a heart sinking feeling!! But when I got to the ER and saw that he was in one piece, no blood, or broken bones I felt some what better. Until the doctor told us they were going to ship him to Dayton to put him in a hyperbaric champer. While he was a work power washing he got Carbon monoxide poisoning. They told me the ok CO level in the body of a very heavy smoker would be 10 and for someone like Josh who doesn't smoke it should be around 2 or 3. Well his levels were 26. But by the time we made it by ambulance to Dayton the face mask O2 had lowered it enough that they decided not to put him in the chamber. So we are thankful everything turned out ok with that dilemma!
I started back to Nursing at Christ College of Nursing and Health Sciences. It's going good but I'm not yet into the swing of the homework thing. But it will come and before you know it I may be taking care of one of you... don't be too scared:-)
Yesterday was my brother-in-laws wedding. Brady White and Michelle Wilhelm got married in Frankfort IN. It was so very very cold but perfect. I'm so very happy for them!! (sorry it's so dark)



Until time........

Happy Seasons!!

Tis the season to be happy and joyful and excited and jolly and busy and and and well you get the point!! I love this time of the year. Seeing family, going shopping, eating good food, putting up decor, setting up the tree, wrapping gifts, and the list goes on and on. So I have been having fun doing all of those things. We put the tree up this past Monday. How exciting Our First Christmas Tree!!

Well more next time!!

short update

I just realized it has been forever since I had let you know how life is going for us. Well we went to Josh's parents house for this past weekend. All four White guys went hunting while the girls went out to eat and took naps!! It was all great fun even though we came back without a deer and a few extra pounds.
Now I'm home with a laundry to fold and a house to clean. So I should get to work. More to come later.

oh life.......... I just have to laugh!!

I know I have already blog today but I just had to tell you about supper tonight!! Well let me first explain that my oven is SO old. I have to relight it every time I use it. So tonight I decided I was going to fix baked chicken, mashed potatoes, and broccoli. One more small detail I should mention it was the first meal I had ever made for my father-in-law. Well like I said the oven is very old and sometimes decides to just cook slower. Well the chicken was done 25 min late, than when I opened the microwave the bowel of broccoli fell out and all over the floor right in front of Josh and his father. Well we finally got to the supper table and all was good. We just had green beans so we still got our color. Just a memory made!!

cold hot cold hot:-(

This has to be the hardest and most annoying time of the year. It's freezing cold in the morning and I can't think of anything but to somehow get my feet warm. By afternoon I have the windows open and the air conditioner fan on. It tough on the throat, hard on the ears, but I'm sure it's going to be a wonderful winter!! Well its 141 days, 14 days, 45 min till spring!!!

Shop shop shop!!!!

Today me and my dear Friend, Christy decided to go shopping. Of course we went to all second hand stores and Walmart. To make to very long story much shorter, we were very lucky. You see my kitchen is decorated with bird houses but since I had been unable to find any bird houses my kitchen was simply plain!! That is till today, we were about to leave when I noticed one place that I had not been, and that is when I hit the gold mine!! I found 4 bird houses for $2.50 total (sorry for the details I just love good deals). They all needed re-painting but everyone knows that is fun!!

Well now they are all dry and ready to hang and I'm so very happy about that!!!

Oct 15

Today is Wednesday..... We are going to Mode retreat on Friday..... I'm already almost finished packing..... I think I'm just alittle excited!!!!!

busy mind!!

Tonight I sat at a stop light and began to think. I was about 15 min from home yet I could have taken any of the other 3 routes and ended up at home. If I had turned right I would have ended up taking the busy interstate. If I would have gone straight I would have gone through town, with many stop lights through a rough area of town. And if I would have gone left I wound have to take the curve road through the trees than follow it along the river. Non of these were "right of wrong" it simply was different. Well that made me think about life and the many choices we have to make. When I have to choose which way to go to reach my final destination. One way may end up very busy, fast pass, never stopping like the interstate. Another may lead through risky roads that I would have to trust nothing jumped into my path, Any yet another could lead through rough times and have many stops. Non right of wrong just different. But we will never know what the route is going to hold until we take it. I had to stop and wonder which route I had/was choosing. No one else in at the same place so we each must choose for our self.

Sorry to ramble I was just thinking and decided to blog:-) And for you all who need the end of the store I chose to turn left!!
