Working Late




Well, here I sit at work and it's 3:30am. I don't mind working at night, it really is fun. You can watch TV, (although nothing but infomercals are on), I don't really have to interact with the residents, (that really stinks because I love the residents), I can go on the computer and get things done. So all in all I guess the late shift isn't bad. I do get tired around 1 am. If I can make it past 1 then I should be fine the rest of the time. I have 2 more late shifts this week. Thursday and friday. I am excited because it is with a resident that I love! I don't know how I got both nights with her but I am excited!



I tried to upload a picture of my Aunt karen and Grandma but it didn't go through. I will try again before I finish this blog. I took the picture at Josh and Chelsea's wedding. Looking back I will be married for 16 years this September. WOW that's a long time. You know I still feel like it was maybe a year ago when we got married. Funny how time goes by. I am taking Mike to Ohio for our anniversary. Yup, he finally gets to go to Longaberger land! Not sure he will enjoy it as much as I do. Atleast he will get to see where I go every year! Speaking of Longaberger Land, I am running a bus trip there in March 2010. The theme will be USS TriJoRox... aka The Longaberger Love Boat. Complete with Captain Stubing, Julie and Doc. I am excited and have lots to plan. Let me know if you think you can go on the trip. Price will be aroound $375.00. Lots of fun, baskets, shopping and relaxation! A girls weekend to be sure.



Ok, let's talk about what is going on at home. Ryan is back from his vacation with his mom. He seems to of had a great time. He keeps singing Boom, Boom, Boom,... It is funny how excited he gets. He is doing fine now heath wise. he was sick for a while. He couldn't shake whatever it was but he seems to be doing much better. Becca is in Texas now. not really sure if she is coming back. She says she is but you never know. Sarah is doing well. She is ready for school. Shopping has been done and she got those black half boots. (I used to wear them in my 20's) I should have kept my 80's clothes because thats what is in now. She can't wait for school to start. Harmonium is the class she is in, they will learn through music, singing, playing an instrument. She is looking foward to performing through out the year. I can't wait to see her blossom.


Noah is doing good. He finally finished his books he had to read. He is now the big kid in elementary school. 5th grade! wow. He wants Mr. Snyder as his teacher. I just pray about each teacher he gets every year. I don't want to request. God knows who Moah should have and I trust him. I am sure he is where he needs to be. We haven't heard yet who he has. I think we will hear on friday. School starts on Wednesday. He looks in the mail box everyday now. I am getting anxious as well.


Mike has been geting a few job leads. Jobs that would require us to move. I don't mind so much having to move but I really don't want to go too far from my family. I will go where God plants us but I pray it will be near family. There have been a few jobs around us as well. So things are starting to pick up which is great. We are all praying that God will put us where he needs us.


I am still working at Kirkland. I still love it! Even though one of my residents left, and I miss her dearly. I will be keeping in touch with her! She is a very sweet lady who will be happy with her boys. I still have a few that I love to work with. I really can't say that I have any I don't like. They are all sweet in thier different ways. It is amazing what you can learn if you sit back and just listen. I am learning greek. One of the Ladies here is greek and loves to teach me greek. I can say good morning, good evening, good night, house, Lord have Mercy. That's it for now. who knew I would learn greek! She is funny. whenever she sees me she asks me what I know. I am happy to tell her.


Well, I am going to sign off for now. Thanks for reading. keeping up with the Evans family from PA. (atleast for now)


Love you, me

Letters from the Heart

How do I say goodbye to my mom. How can I do that and not hurt? Memories keep coming to me and I laugh or I cry mostly I cry. I cry because I didn’t write down that favorite recipe she always made when we came home. I cry because I should have had more patience with her. I cry because I won’t be able to sit and have tea with her. Ever. Never again. I cry for myself. I cry for my brothers. I cry for my children and their children. How do I make this hurt any less than it does? How do I make the tears stop flowing? Is there a way to make them stop? Maybe laughter. Maybe that is the way. Remember the good times. Remember hotdog soup. Remember frying pans knocking someone out. Remember the car rides to grandmas house. Remember the summer trips. Laughing helps but not for long. Family around me will be sure to help. Getting together and celebrating her. That will help. I now know that nothing will help. I think this hurt will last the rest of my life. I don’t want this. I want my mom....

Letters from Mom

I was starting a new project today and came across a plastic filing cabinet that was not unpacked.  I had seen it for a while now but didn't really think much of it.  I am not sure what got me to unpack it today.  The first thing I did was cut the wrapping off and on the top of it was a letter.  I didn't think much of it until I saw the handwriting.  It was my moms'.  It was a letter written to me dated May 20, 2002.  I don't remember the letter and have no clue what was going on in my life at that time.  I don't remember the conversation Mom was talking about in the letter. I can say that I am glad I held onto the letter.  To be honest I tend to hold on the all letters written to me. I have a bunch from Mike and Grandma too. I am sure I have more from others as well.  Its funny how you don't think to keep things for later years. I am glad I am sentimental.  So in this letter, Mom tells me she is proud of me.  Right before I le...

it all started with gummy worms.

February 2, 2019 another day that will be hard for me to forget. My mother, went home to be with her Lord and Savior. 4:00 in the afternoon. It has only been 5 months but it seems like yesterday. Why when sad, or crappy things happen do we tend to remember everything. Mom was in rehab for her leg. She fell down the basement steps on Ryan’s Birthday. Just the last two steps. She misjudged and thought she was on the last step but actually had 2 more to walk down. She broke her leg. Her tibia was split by her femur. We called 911 and had her taken to the hospital via ambulance. Mom remembered the women who arrived to take her to the hospital. She remembered the firemen that helped to carry her upstairs to the waiting in gurney. She remembered the emergency room. And the doctors she met there. She was transferred to the third floor to await surgery to fix the leg. She didn’t really remember that. She remembered the people who helped her but not being on the floor. She didn’t...
