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

Alot has happened in the last two months. First let me start with Sarah and her DEBUT singing. She is in a class where they learn from music and they put show on. She loves singing (I have no idea where she got that just kidding). I knew she could sing but I didn't really know she could really sing. I was sitting in the audience that first night of the show all proud but when she got up to sing the last song of the night I was BLOWN AWAY! She had me speechless. I hope she makes you speechless as well. This class is really a nice class. She has alot of friends in the class. I have been given glances into the woman Sarah is becoming and it takes my breath away. Wow is all I can say! It doesn't look like the video is going to work tonight so I will have to do it tom. after I get home from work. Wish it would save! I was going to put up one of Noah as well but I guess I will have to do it tom as well. He got to sing at Church with the Adult choir. He sang Away in a Manger verses 1 ...

How can my heart hurt anymore? What do I have to learn to stop the heart ache?

How can we say goodbye to someone that means the world to you? How do you let them go? The pain and hurt that we feel is so unreal. Grandma left this earth November 17, 2019. 9 months, and 15 days after Mom left.  Two women that helped to mold me into who I am today, left me.  They are no longer here to ask questions of, or laugh with, learn of the past from. They left. The pain of losing them will never leave me.  How could it?! They taught me to be the women I am today.  Grandma was someone who always excepted me. Always showed me how to love others. Listen to others.  Care for others.  Really, just to be there for others when I am needed.  The pain I feel is indescribable.  I have never had my heart broken like this before.  Never had to face anything so hard.  You see, I was so Blessed when it came to losing people I loved.  The first person I loved, that I remember losing, was my Grandfather, George. G randad was someone ...

Happy 4th of July!

Okay so today is the 4th of July and I was looking for a cool picture of a flag to put on my blog. I really didn't see on I liked. But I found this picture of the sky I took when we went to Maryland to visit Aunt Betty a few years ago. I think the sky may have looked like this on that morning Francis Scott Key wrote the National Anthem. Today is a great day for this country. I am very proud of the service men and women that have served our country. Willingly giving up a part of their lives for us. Sometimes giving up their lives for freedom. So Thank you one and all. Sometimes saying thank you just doesn't seem enough. Sometimes it is more than enough. So if you see someone in uniform just say thanks. You might just be surprised by the reaction of the service man/woman. I remember riding by the Armory a few years ago and their was a group of protesters on front of the armory. They were screaming at the men in uniform. I was angry and I could tell Mike was as well. He wanted to ...
