Well, I'm back at WCU for another semester. I got everything moved back into good 'ol 242 McCarthy Hall with my craaaazy roomie, Jamie (Love you, Jaim!). Classes the past few days have gone well. I've only had 3 but they've gone well, *knock on wood*.
Things with Jeff are amazing. I miss the kid so much I could cry. Just to hear his voice helps me remember how strong we really are and how we will get through this distance to be together. I don't know when I'll see him again and that bugs the heck out of me but what are you gonna do. It'll happen eventually and it will be sheer bliss. I love him so much, being in love is the best feeling in the world.
I have to go read for my Lit class but I'll update more later. God Bless!

Okay, here's my story.

Thursday night around 6:30 or so, Dad and I headed to Wheeling, West Viriginia to pick up my Jeff.  In the beginning Jeff had said 4 to 4 and a half hours, no problem.  And Dad seemed to be surprisingly okay with it, which amazes me.  So anyway, we stopped at 2 rest areas on the way up and 6 hours later we finally make it to Jeff.  We finally got to him around 10 after 12, Friday morning.  So needless to say, Dad and I didn't talk too much on the way up and not at all on the way home.  Once we finally got to Jeff, we filled up and hit the road again.  Jeff drove all the way home so Dad could sleep.  We stopped a couple of times on the way home to gas up.  Dad would wake up to have a smoke with Jeff and then we'd pile back into the Jeep and Jeff would continue driving and Dad would go back to sleep.  I think I dosed a couple of times on the way home but Jeff was quick to nudge me.  I guess it was better that he kept me awake so I could keep him awake.  We got to West Grove around 5 or so Friday morning and I had a dentist appointment at 9:15 so I only got a couple of hours of sleep before the dentist.  Went to the dentist, no cavities and my wisdom teeth are coming in my no issues yet, which is good news.  Jeff was sound asleep when I went to the dentist and sound asleep when I got home from the dentist so I just went back to sleep as well.  I think we finally got up around 11:30 or so.  Well, Jeff got up around 11:30.  I fell back to sleep on the couch while he watched a movie.  I took him up to his Mom's Friday after so he could spend time with the fam for a bit and go out with Chad for New Years Eve.  I didn't even get to see the ball drop, I was sound asleep by 11 on the couch.  I think I woke up at 2:30 or something to stretch out, sleeping in the recliner kills my back.  Saturday was pretty much uneventful.  I honestly don't even remember what I did Saturday morning and early afternoon.  We ended up going to dinner with Gram and Poppop since they finally got home from their trip to Connecticut.  I'm glad their home, I missed them.  Anyway, after dinner I went up and got Jeff and he spent the night with me.  We started to watch Scary Movie 3, which is incredibly funny but we both started to doze so we just went to sleep.  Actually, I think we talked 'til like 2 but we still got more sleep than we had Friday morning.  We spent Sunday together, watched some more movies, went visiting, and then Dad and I took him up to the Petro Truck Stop in Carlisle, Pa.  Who knows when I'll see him again but just hearing his voice gets me through but the thing is, I haven't talked to him since last night.  I worry to much, I need to work on that.  I promised Jeff that I would.  I'm going to post a pic on here of Jeff and I just because well, I want to.  Just keep in mind and as you're about to see, he's 6' 2" and I'm 4' 11", I still laugh about that.  Until next time, God Bless and goodnight!

 

P.S. Scratch that picture idea, does anyone know how you post pictures on this do-dad?  Let me know! Thanks!

Hey everybody! This is will be a short entry and I apologize. I'll have a longer update tomorrow night on my weekend and such. I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year!


Happy birthday Kirk, Christine and Will!!! Hope you guys all had a great day.


Until tomorrow night, sleep tight and God Bless!

Greetings!

How is everyone on this lovely Thursday afternoon? I am much better now than I was yesterday. Long story. Here's the short version.

Mom and I are driving to Wheeling, West Virginia tonight to get Jeff. He will be coming up here to spend New Year's weekend with us. Earlier this afternoon I didn't think that this was all going to go through but somehow things came together and we're going. We won't get to Jeff until 10pm and then won't get home 'til around 2am but Jeff is driving home so I guess mom and I can sleep but still, this is better than nothing. And then Sunday when he has to go back out on the road we're going to meet his boss in Harrisburg which is way better than Wheeling, West Virginia. Mom and I are leaving the Grove at 6pm and hopefully getting to Jeff by 10 or so. It takes 4 hours both ways. I'm so excited about getting to see him again, I just hope that everything is okay with Mom and Dad. Did I mention that I owe them super big time for this. I can't believe mom and dad are actually game for this, I'm still surprised. It'll be nice to for Jeff to spend some time with the family but the poor kid will have to sleep on the other end of the couch as me. Oh well, it'll just be nice to spend a few days with him. I think we're going to dinner somewhere tomorrow night. It's the place that him and Chad always go to eat. It sound be fun and then I imagine we'll go to Mom #2's and see the brothers or Uncle Don's or Mommom's who knows. I can't wait for my Gram and Poppop to get home. I miss them. Anyway, if anyone gets bored tonight and needs someone to talk to, I'll have my cell on me cause I'm going to WEST VIRIGINIA to get my boy. CALL ME!!!!! God Bless and Happy New Year!!!

Okay everyone that I neglected to tell, this is it, the whole truth and nothing but the truth and some juicy details.

As I'm sure most of you know, I'd been talking to Jeff on the phone for about a month, we had met online right around Thanksgiving. Jeff left to go back on the road I think it was the day after Thanksgiving and didn't get "home" until the last Sunday, the 19th. He drove to Pennysylvania from Texas in a day and a half to surprise his mom for Christmas and to meet me. I was so impressed by that.

So we had planned for him to come down and meet me and the rest of the family on Monday night, which happened to be his birthday. I got kinda nervous Monday night thinking that he wasn't going to show up but he called me around 7pm to say he was on his way but turns out he was like 5 minutes from my house and surprised me by coming earlier. I was so nervous. But I went outside and gave him a hug and he took my breathe away. I definitely wasn't expecting that to happen but it did. And I can't describe the feeling I got when I finally saw him other than that it was almost like he had always been in my heart but it just took me 'til now to find him. It was amazing. I can't really put it into words. So Monday night I got to meet him in person and he got to meet Mom, Dad, and Lex and we just hung out here and got to know each other. It was fun.

We didn't see each other Tuesday but we talked on the phone, and then Wednesday night I went up to see him. I drove up to East Earl, it took me only about 45 minutes and I got to meet his Mom, soon-to-be Step-Dad, and soon-to-be Step-Brother, Chad. They were all very nice. Jeff and I just hung out and watched a movie, it was nice just to be near him. It was just nice to be in his arms. We didn't see each other Thursday but of course we talked on the phone again and then on Friday morning I went back up to East Earl and picked him up and brought him down to West Grove to spend the day with me. We watched another movie, and then he was all into something on TV and then eventually I took him around visiting. He met my grandparents, Aunt Lana and Uncle Earl, and Mom #2 and the brothers. Everyone loved him. I mean I knew that they would but it was just the fact of them finally being able to meet him in person rather than hearing about him through me. He got to drive my jeep back up to East Earl. Ever since I've known Jeff I've known him to not like my jeep but he says that he could used to driving it so I guess that's a good thing. In the beginning he was all game for trading it in to get me a car but he says he can deal with it so I guess we're making progress.

Anyway, my Jeffery left for Texas on Christmas Day. His boss got a new phone so Jeff had no phone to drive back down with which makes me a nervous wreck, it's just no safe. I haven't heard from him yet but hopefully he'll get the chance to call me tonight. I'm hoping he's been sleeping ever since he got there. I miss the kid to death and can't wait to see him again. But I know in my heart that we can get through this and that everything will be okay. I'm hoping he comes home again soon or I'm able to meet him somewhere but until then just the sound of his voice will get me through. I knew he was going to hard once he left after us meeting and all but I didn't realize it was going to be this hard. But like I said, we can do it, I know we can.

Well guys, that's my Jeffery. Any questions, IM me, or email me or something. I can't wait for you guys to meet him. He's amazing.

Where has this year gone? I can't believe it's already December, let alone 10 days from Christmas, it's insane. I have one development final, 1 nutrition final, 1 anatomy & physiology final, and 1 psychology final and I'M DONE!!! I can't wait to just be home and enjoy my family, and our beauitful christmas tree, my dad did a great job on it, as he always does. I think the whole tradition of getting our tree and decorating it is my favorite part of the holidays, well, besides spending so much time with the family. I love seeing everyone and giving them their gifts. I just love christmas.

Anyway, things with a certain someone are going amazing. He comes home in 5 days and I absolutely thrilled. We talk all the time and I silly, ask Jamie. He just makes me smile, like no one else can do. I just can't even explain it. I just can't wait to hug him and spend time with him and have everyone meet him. He just makes me smile for no reason, and I love that feeling.

That's about all for now, I know it's a short entry and I apologize but I'm sure I'll have a long one after christmas. So good luck on finals everyone, Merry Christmas and Happy 2005! Love to you all, and god bless!

First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!  I hope you have a great day!  Sorry I can't be home to celebrate with you, but hey, I'll be home in 2 days, so no worries.  I love you and miss you!

Oh man, 17 days 'til christmas, can you believe it guys?!  It's insane, where has the year gone?  Finals start next weekend, which I completely don't understand considering it feels like the semester started like LAST WEEK, go figure.  But anyway, things here at school are winding down.  Our last day of classes is Monday, and finals start on Tuesday.  I somehow ended up with no finals on Tuesday.  Mine start on Wednesday, although I'd rather have them start on Tuesday than have one on Saturday but what can ya do? 

This is my final schedule:

Wednesday, December 15, 2004: Development Final - 3:30 to 5:30pm

Thursday, December 16, 2004: Nutrition Final - 6 to 8pm

Friday, December 17, 2004: Anatomy & Physiology Final - 8 to 10am

Saturday, December 18, 2004: Psychology Final - 10:30 to 12:30

So yeah, you see that little final on Saturday, someone remind me to never take a MWF 12-12:50 class EVER again, ok?  Anyway, I guess I shouldn't complain because it's only a 2-chapter test.  I got lucky this semester none of my finals are cummulative.  How lucky is that?!  I'm guessing I'll be out of that psychology final by 11:30 at the latest, because you figure it's just like a normal test which we take in a 50 minute class so having 2 hours should be plenty of time.  Anyway, enough about finals...on to stuff at home.

Gram went to the doctor's yesterday and got the rest of her stitches out.  She just had her most recent surgery a week ago monday.  She has no ear lobe left but so what, we still have our Gram and that's all that matters.  I do know one thing, if someone is diagnosed with cancer it not only affects that person but everyone that person knows as well.  Gram has gotten cards and flowers from the town, the fire company, I think almost every church in our town...people have been so kind and generous and really shown their love and support.  Gram has been on prayer chains in New Jersey, in Middletown (at Lauren and Andy's school), and a bunch of other places.  I just hope that her last surgery was her last for awhile and we can just take it easy now and continue to thank god and enjoy life as a family. Let me think, what else is going on at home.  Oh, Aunt Lana's new room is almost done.  It doesn't take much to excite us but it's almost up, hopefully just in time for her Christmas party.  I think everyone else at home is doing well. Dad and mom work all the time, but as long as dad's heart is still in it, that's all that matters.

Things are going great for me, I don't want to say too much as I don't want to curse anything that might be going to happen.  All I'm going to say is this:

Cowboy:  "And though I can't be with you tonight, you know my heart is by your side."  Please be safe and come home soon.  I miss you.

Okay everyone, good luck with finals and have a very safe, and happy holiday season. And God Bless us everyone! 

What exactly is friendship? I mean of course everyone give their definition of friendship, but what is it really? So, I decided to use my resources and I looked it up on dictionary.com:

friendship-
(1.) the quality or condition of being friends

(2.) a friendly relationship

(3.) friendliness; good will

(4.) the state of being friends; friendly relation, or attachment, to a person, or between persons; affection arising from mutual esteem and good will; amity, good will

I've had many good friends throughout the years. The West Grove Day Care grew, which I graduated with half of them. We were all the best of friends, I mean come on, we ventured out into the sandbox together. Now that's true friendship. Then as we all entered kindergarten we all hoped that we were all least somewhat together in our classes. We ended up having at least one other person in our classes. As the years went on, we went our seperate ways but to this day I'd still do anything for those guys and they all know that. As the years went on, we all met new friends and entered into different "friend groups" but you always remember you closest friends. Middle School rolled around and Kemblesville and Penn London joined the entering 6th grade class of 2003. Middle school was a big transition for all of us. The whole idea of changing classes and being split up from friends as we were all assigned to teams. It was new for all of us but our friendships are what got us through. We all (well, most of us) made it through middle school and we headed up to the high school. The high school was the place we knew we'd been waiting to me for years. We'd been told all along that these were the best four years of our lives and we were determined to make that statement true. Freshmen year was a whole new ball game, just like 6th grade was. We had to adjust having 6 or 7 new teachers, we had to get used to crowded halls and the SENIORS. Some of us went through marching band, which was a completely new experience. Sports were something that many people were heavily involved and AVON GROVE PRIDE had never been stronger. And we experienced all of this together. We attended our first high school dances and were thrilled to do so. Most of us started dating and realizing what best friends really meant to us. And we finally realized that it was okay to have more than one best friend. Everyone needs more than one best friend. Junior year rolled around, we had the junior ring dance and we realized how close to be seniors we really were. The junior dinner dance was amazing. It was an all in all magical night spent with great friends and looking absolutely stunning. Before we knew it we were SENIORS, we would be the next graduating class, AVON GROVE CLASS OF 2003. Prom was again, absolutely spectacular. Graduation finally rolled around the whole idea of each of us leaving and going to our own respective colleges/universities hit us. Of course we would stay in touch with most of our friends but there would be a few that we would loose contact with. Right now, as a sophomore in college, I'm in contact with more of my class of '03 than i ever was before. I love hearing how they're doing in their schools and what they're majoring in. It's all so exciting for me to see how everyone's lives are turning out. And now here in college, I've found that once you meet a group of friends, things pretty much stay that way, I mean you meet the occasional new friend every once in awhile but we pretty much all stick together. Rachel is back home now, and I miss her. Elisa, Alana, Don, and Justin are all the way across campus and I in a sense miss them. I mean I seem them regularly but it's always nice to be closer to your friends. And Jamie and I are here together in good 'ol 242 McCarthy Hall. We're obviously having our differences right now but we have fun a majority of the time. We have an awesome room, we act goofy, good gosh we do football "hit-its" in the hallway with heather. We're nuts but lovin' it. Jamie, I just hope we can work past our differences for the time being. I know we can stick out 2 more weeks together and then we get a 3 week break from each other, I think it will be good for both of us. It'll give us time to think about what we have and some time to regroup. We are two completely different people trying to live together for the majority of a year, and it's understandable that we'll have differences so I just want to except them and enjoy the time we're spending together and all the memories that we've made together. I hope we can work things out and move on from this whole episode together and still as friends. That's all for now, god bless and stay warm!

Hi all!  Back to the grind today.  Break was awesome but of course way to short but hey only 11 more days of classes before finals start so I really can't complain.  I think thanksgiving and christmas are my two favorite holidays.  I just love spending time with my family.  After thanksgiving dinner busted out the poker chips and pennies and played poker, blackjack and baseball.  Always funs time with my family, trust me.  I think we actually made it through a meal without anyone spilling a drink, which was totally surprising to me.  lol.  and of course we went shopping on black friday.  Old Navy was the best place for deals so we did really good there.  we need some more shopping on saturday and Lex got her picture taken with santa, well, her and mom did, she ddin't want to but the pictures did turn out cute.  anyway, i better start on some anatomy homework, i'll update more later, i promise. god bless.

wow, long time, no update. i apologize. first we'll discuss the school stuff, then family, and then guys.

okay, so first of all, school. i only have a one-day week this week. thanksgiving break starts on wednesday morning at 8am, well techinally tuesday night after night classes are over but since i don't have classes on tuesdays, that makes my break start monday. i'm super exciting. i'm catchin' a ride home with paula tomorrow night so i'm excited to hang out with her for a bit. classes are going. i got a b on my muscle quiz in anatomy lab. go me! my other classes are going well. my favorite class this semester i think is either psychology or nutrition. my nutrition professor is very good, she really loves what she teaches and she's actually given me motivation, so i've really enjoyed that class. oh, news on good 'ol mccarthy hall. poor jamie and i are in a hallway full of mostly freshmen. most of these freshmen feel they have a chip on their shoulder and feel that they are running this hallway, however, there are upperclassmen in this hallway that don't appreciate their attitudes and cockyness. that's all i'm going to say about this situation because i just calmed myself down from an incident that happened earlier that i was involved in so maybe sometime in the near future, i'll be glad to share it with you. anyway, that's about it for the school issue.

now for the family. my poor gram has another spot of cancer that has to be removed on december 1st. gram is just not herself anymore. before surgery gram was very well loud, and i wouldn't have had her any other way, that's just how gram was and now she has a little tiny voice and it's just not the old gram. she says she feels okay, besides the tightness in her face so i guess as long as she feels okay, and her spirits are high, that's all that matters. i just wish that she could get a report from one of the doctors saying that they're 100% sure that they've gotten it all. that's the kind of news we need to hear. that's the kind of news we want to hear. for now though, our main goal is to keep her happy and keep her determination high. she has testing all day tomorrow so hopefully she'll end up with the results all of us want to hear. and as for lex, that's the other part of this family stuff. lex is now 17 months old and such a beautiful little girl. however, things are not working our fin avor, or wait, they never have been. as of right now, we've been told that lex will be back with her biological mother by the end of this year or the beginning of next and i don't know how this is happening. they're going to put her back into the environment in which she was taken from. it makes no sense what so ever. i just can't believe that no one is doing anything on lex's behalf. so please just pray that things go okay with this whole transitiion period or something happens in our favor and lex is able to stay with us forever.

oh man, and now the guy section. so i decided to try out this yahoo personals stuff (and a few other online matching systems) just to see the kind of people i could meet and i've met some nice guys and some not so nice guys. but i guess such is life. recently, i've been talking to a certain guy that is very different from the rest of them. his name is james, and he's 25. he has a son that's 3 but that doesn't bother me. he sounds like a great dad and he's so sweet. he said that i was beautiful, and my response was oh my god, there are nice guys out there. he claims that he's going to call me tomorrow night so we'll have to wait and see if things work out and he actually calls me, i'll be sure to keep everyone updated.

well, everyone, i'm exhausted, why, i have no idea but i think i'm gonna watch tv and then hit the sheets. sleep tight everyone and god bless!

Hey Everyone:

This might be kind of a long entry but I have to do this for one of my classes and just figured I'd put it in my LJ, hence, this entry. The assignment is to define who are you by your accomplishments, who you hang around with, your preference in music, your major in college, so on and so forth so here, it is.

Who am I?

That sounds like a dumb question. I am me, I am Jessica Lynn Shaub. Yeah, we all know that, but who is Jessica Lynn Shaub. I am a girl, I am a country girl at that, I am a friend, a best friend, a roommate, a classmate, a sister, a niece, a cousin, a daughter, a granddaughter, a 2003 graduate of Avon Grove High School, I am unique, I'm a second year nursing major at West Chester University, I am a sagittarius, I'm a fan of NASCAR, I am a confidant, I am a listener, I am a talker, I make people laugh, I love kids...but what does all this mean, they're just describing words to describe my existence.

Answering this question is tougher than you think. Not tougher, it just makes you think more. I often times wonder what other people think of me, that in itself is a tough question to answer. I mean seriously it's like you can go up to someone and blantly ask them what they think of you, cause they'd surely think you were crazy. But anyway, I think I'm a pretty good person. If I wasn't me, I'd be my friend, and if I was a guy, I'd date me. That may sound conceited but ya know what, I don't care because someone out there there has to be a guy that will love me for who I am and love me unconditionally.

So maybe this whole defining myself is harder than I think. Do me a favor guys and leave me comments what your feelings on me as person, I'm havin' some trouble with this. And please be honest. Thanks a bunch everyone. God Bless!

I had such an awesome weekend. I got to see some of the family that I hadn't seen in a couple weeks so it was nice. I've also realized how much I'm ready for Thanksgiving break, I'm ready to just be home for a couple of days and sleep in my own bed, just spend time with the family. I want to be able to spend my days with Lex and sing "AB's" over and over and over. I miss the little squirt.

Anyway, bad news on the homefront. My Gram just had a pretty major surgery not too long ago to get some cancer removed from her ear and to get some lymph nodes taken out. She's just now finally feeling back to normal. She still has a long road ahead of her but everyday she's feeling better. However, the road to recovery has taken a u-turn and we're back to where we started. Gram had another spot on her ear and she ended up having to get that one taken off and sent away. This one is cancer too. Cancer is such a discouraging word. You can only fight for so long so hard before you get burnt out. She's beginning to feel so discouraged, and she's questioning if this is how she's going to live the rest of her life, getting spots removed and recovering and then everything starting all over again. Please just keep her in your prayers and pray for her strength and determination to go on and fight this deadly disease and pray that she becomes a cancer SURVIVOR!!

Oh right, here is my time to rant and rave about some issue that is bothering me. Tonight Jamie and I are sitting in our room, she was updating her xanga and I was just sitting at my computer (like every other college student does) and we were listening to music. And the next thing I know, some guy is standing in our room, like in our doorway and he's talking to us. It look me a second to realize what was happneing and turn around to hear what he was saying. He was like in plain clothes, no uniform or badge or anything so we don't think he was a public safety official, we think he was someone's dad and this is what the sucker said to us: "Your music is WAY too loud, I could hear it across the street, I know it's not quiet hours but you need to turn it down, it needs to be quieter." So Jamie and I just hit here staring at him and then I finally say after he left, Jamie, did he just tell us to keep it down? So Jamie and I went on and on ranting about what a jerk he was and so on and so forth. When I called home, I was telling my mom and dad and my dad suggested that Jamie and I go down and give the RA a heads up so that's exactly what we did. And she said that if he ever happened again to ask him who he's with and then tell him if he has a complaint to speak with her or a public safety official. Why does this weird crap always happen to Jaim and I? I'm so confused.

Alrighty, my loves, I'm off to hang out with Jaim before bedtime. God Bless!

Hello everyone:

What a beautiful day it is today! I love my best friend, I love my roommate, I love my friends, I just am so happy. Today is just a good day. The longer that I've been at college, the more I'm learning about my family, friends and about myself. First of all, my friends are what keep me sane, they keep me laughing, they keep me thinking, they keep me positive. I miss my family so much but I know even when they're at home, work, or school that they're always proud of me and supporting me 100%. I love that feeling. My family is the funniest group of people I have ever met in my entire life. My dad a.k.a THE CASHEW STEALER works so hard, and I can't tell him how proud of him I am and how thankful I am for doing what he does. Okay, so get this, this past weekend, I decided to buy some of that Planter's trail mix, it's very yummy if you ask me but yeah, my dad got ahold of it and decided to eat his fair share, well, really it was more than his fair share and then left me with the crappy stuff in the bottom of the bag. So this morning I decided to eat some, do you think there were any cashews left, nope...well, okay 2 but I could definitely tell that he had be picking them out. He's good for that sorta stuff and then trying to blame it on my mom. So I call him at work and he blames it on my mom like I knew that he would, and then Miss Dee takes his side on it...she was just sucking up to him though, I could so tell. lol. See, fun times with the familia. OH JAMIE...I LOVE THAT SONG BY WHAT'S HER FACE...thank god you finally downloaded it. lol...love you roomie! Paula, hun, why is it you that always has the toughest decisions to make? I made a pros and cons list to you living at home next year...I seriously did, no laughing. I figured that's how I could help ya. Love you sweetheart! Well, it's almost time for me to head to work but that's okay...I love the ladies at work. Have an awesome day everyone and GOD BLESS!

Hello Everyone:

Just some random stuff, ENJOY!

"Someone out there is meant to be the love of your life, your best friend, your soulmate, the one you can tell your dreams to. He'll laugh at you when you tell him but he'll never laugh at your heart. He'll brush the hair out of your eyes and send you flowers when you least expect it. He'll call you to tell you goodnight before you get into bed or just because he is thinking about you. He'll be bursting to talk to you each morning just to hear the sound of your voice. He'll look into your eyes and tell you that you are the most beautiful girl he has ever seen and for the first time in your life...you'll believe it."
- Dawson's Creek

"So everybody whistle dixie. When they lay me in the ground. When that cold wind comes to get me. I don't want nobody standin' 'round. Sheddin' tears and feelin' sorry. 'Cause I'm gone to see my God. Everybody whistle dixie. Let 'em lay me 'neath the sod."
- Darryl Worley

"I love this crazy, tragic, sometimes almost magic, awful, beautiful life."
- Darryl Worley

"I'd like to take the time I lost and give it back to you. But you just smile and take my hand, You've been there, you understand. It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true."
- Rascal Flatts

Oh...new email address thanks to Kirk, it is: itsgottabeadeere@gmail.com (do ya get it? *wink wink*)

I miss Uncle David...I sit here looking at the program from his mass and just feel so lost, like "What has just happened?" I'm still so confused, so shocked. The very first song during mass, "Here I am Lord" broke my heart, I broke down, I didn't even know I could cry that much. "Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord? I have heard you calling in the night. I will go Lord, if you leave me. I will hold your people in my heart." What a powerful and emotional song. I just love and miss him and hope he's where he deserves to be!

Enough for tonight, I'm tired and confused...God Bless and love to you all!

I'm stealing this from Ashley (Miss you, my Chub!) who stole it from her friend, Erin so yeah...but read on, this is exciting!

RULES: Write 10 statements intended for 10 different people.
NEVER TELL which one is for who.

Comment as you wish.....


(1.) Can I just say that I miss you! I guess you aren't that far away but if sure does feel like it. We always have so much fun together, I miss those times. I'm glad we got to see each other at the beach even if it was just for like a half hour on the night before you went home. We'll have to plan better for next year. I hope classes are going well for you and everything at home is going well also...Just know, that I MISS YOU and LOVE YOU!

(2.) What can I say besides, GANGSTA! Ha, I love you girl, you know that. Fun times...Yeah, Jorge Bush, you rock my socks! Ha! Stupid white board finally is staying up and now watch it'll fall off soon, KNOCK ON WOOD! lol. I'm havin' a blast with you in our 5 by 5...it's special! Is anyone up for a slurpee, cause I am or maybe some "hit-its", they're always fun too, they kinda hurt but make me laugh!

(3.) HEART & SOUL, you my friend are the queen of studying and I congratulate you! So yeah, Josh Groban is hot but we all knew that, he gives me chills. If you ever need help rearranging your room again, you know where I sleep. Oh and I love your blue squeezy pillow, it's awesome, just like you!

(4.) Hey BRO! YOU'RE AWESOME! I love your shiny black shoes...they're awesome, just like you! ha! And you mister, are the king of studying and I also congratulate you! Oh and by the way, I don't care...not one bone in my body cares about "that"...you know what I'm talking about because you're awesome like that.

(5.) You truly are my best friend, I can't thank you enough for everything. I will ALWAYS be here if you need anything and I mean anything at all. I love you but I think and hope you know that. Thanks for letting me become a part of the family, it really means a lot to me. I'll always be right there by your side, no matter what, I'll be there for as long as you need me. Thanks for always making me laugh and showing me what a true best friend is.

(6.) Hey Biznatch, how those buckers doin'? I'm just messin' don't start with me, you effin' beaver, lol. Oh sorry, "she" doesn't like to hear us say that...sorry! I think we should send FL out to see on a boat with no oars and he can find all the toothless girls he wants. What a loserface!

(7.) HEY ROMEO, let's go down to Mexico. We, my friend are the Lyric Queens and I am proud to uphold that name. CHANGING, don't look or you'll go blind, believe me, it's still the same, and I still miss you. You're doing the right thing, he's just stupid!

(8.) Where have you gone, country boy? Have I lost you? Was I not perfect enough for you? I can change, I'll figure it out. I hope everything is okay, I miss you!

(9.) Love you baby girl, Mommy, Daddy, and Gecca and I will always love you and be here for you, no matter what.

(10.) I had to cram you 2 ladies together. My Eastern U. girls, I LOVE YOU BOTH very much. I promise sometime this school year, I'm coming up to see you. Don't know how to get there or where I'm going but I'll get up there. I miss you both!

That's it, I'm excited, I hope you enough!

Where to begin? The last few days have been pretty rough. Not only for me but for my best friend and her entire family. I feel like such a bad best friend. I wish I knew exactly what to say to make everyone feel even the slightest bit better. To wish I had something spiritual and touching to share, that makes people smile and reflect on the one we've lost but I don't, I have nothing. I wish I could say I did. At this point, all I have is a hug, a conversation, a phone call, another hug, a listening ear, an open heart, a walk down memory lane...that's ALL I have to offer. Not sure how much of a best friend I've been the last few days but I'm trying my best, sometimes all I wanna do is cry, is it okay to cry 'til I can't cry anymore? But I can't cry, I need to strong, I need to be strong for those who need me...I may not know the answers or have something majestic and consoling to say but I will surely do what it takes to be a best friend.

Aaron...have you guys heard about him yet? Gosh, I feel like a hoochie Momma (oh gosh, Jamie, you're right...me a hoochie momma, what's this world coming to?!) talking about all these guys and then nothing ever really happening. Aaron is my latest "crush", yeah, I think it's safe to say that. He's a good 'ol country boy, dare I say, he's perfect. I haven't talked to Aaron since Sunday and I miss the kid like crazy! I absolutely love his personality and sense of humor. Enough about Aaron, my dear, I don't want to jinx anything that might be something.

What else has happened, let me think. Nothing too exciting has happened this week. I went home yesterday to (1.) Vote, (2.) Go to Uncle David's services and (3.) go to the other "home"! I got to go Middletown and see the GRM side of the family. I hadn't seen them in a couple of weeks, I missed them terribly. I didn't get to go on any deliveries but I got to help dad work on a piece of equipment, see my big guy, OH and I got to see BOBBY ~sigh!~, can I just say I haven't seen this guy in like FOREVER...I'm so glad he's feeling better. It was just nice to get a "bobby hug" again and just catch up with him. I got to see Mr.Larry the pipe guy for like all of 5 minutes but he seemed good. He had to come help out because dad was out on the road and what not...busy, busy, busy. My dad is SUCH a hard worker. And I LOVE MY DAD!

This weekend...any big plans? LOL...me and big plans don't belong in the same sentence. Friday night I can't think of anything that's going on. Maybe Lex and I will go visit the adopted side of the family (The Reynolds'), or do dinner or something, try and help them get their minds off of what's going on. Saturday Becca has her last football game. And it starts at 2:30, who has a football game that starts at 2:30, apparently Avon Grove, not surprising. Anyway, then Saturday night, PARTAY IN MIDDLETOWN...well, a party consisting of me, a 6-year-old, a 7-year-old, a 9-year-old, 2 15-year-olds and then a 16-year-old. Aunt Sharon's class reunion is this weekend so her and Uncle Trent will be out on the town Saturday night. And that means I have the children and the doggies, and Joker the cat, and the lizards, oh man, fun times to come. I get to drive the brand new 2004 Suburban (What's a suburban, hey, Rach, I'll let ya know for sure after I drive one!, lol!), hopefully the "driving" won't consist of any parallel parking or anything. We're going to see "Shark Tales", the kiddies are all excited so it should be fun. It looks like a cute movie. And then Sunday, I can FINALLY get adjusted again. My back needs cracked, crap, I mean adjusted so bad...it's so tight. I knew having a chiropractor in the family would come in handy! lol!

I think that's about all for now...take care and God Bless y'all! <3!

So yeah, what's up everyone? I haven't written in about a 2 weeks or so but I'm here to fill you in now. Fall Break was awesome! Short but sweet...I had a blast. Monday I went to Applebee's and then to see Ladder 49 with Allison and Rachel. Ladder 49 is now my favorite movie of all times. The whole time I was watching the movie, Michael, Cardell and Matt were in the back of my head. I'm so proud of them for what they're doing. They're amazing guys! I thank them and feel completely safe having them watching out for our town. After seeing that movie, it makes me want to go out and marry a firefighter even more, lol. Anyway, that was Monday, Tuesday I went down to Middletown. It was rainy and muddy and I got filthy but still had a blast. I got to go on a delivery with Jimmy, always fun times in the BIG MACK! It was just like old times, riddin' around, him makin' me laugh, me talkin' his ear off, gettin' dirty, I forgot how much hard work that stuff takes to do. I was exhausted. Oh, but get this, Bob (one of the guys that works next door to my dad, he's a nice guy but Jamie makes me sound horrible when he really isn't!), wants me to ride around with him next time I'm down there. It'll probably be fun. It'll give Jimmy a break and I'll get to ride around in someone else's BIG MACK! I think I'll end up riding around with him next Tuesday, I have to go home to vote anyway so I might as well go down and spend the day with them. Anyway, last week was only a 3 day week but definitely seemed like it lasted forever. I'm just glad it's over with.
This past weekend was fun. I finally got to go to one of Greggy's soccer games. They won, which was good and it was good to see the little man again, I miss that kid. It's almost Tuesday already so I can't complain and I don't have any classes until Wednesday so I can't complain about that either. Today I signed up for yahoo personals. I think it might have been a good move on my part. I met Brian today. He's from Quarryville which is like 30-45 minutes from me, which is good and he just seems like a really good guy. He's got a great sense of humor and is quite the charmer. I'm glad that I'm meeting new people even if we just turn out to be friends, it's nice to meet new people...ya know! This coming weekend is packed full of stuff at home. Friday is Uncle Don's birthday so I'm sure we'll go and visit him. Saturday is Aunt Lana's halloween party and then Sunday night is trick-or-treat in our town. It should be fun with having Lex. She's gonna be a giraffe for Aunt Lana. I know she's gonna look adorable. I'll have to take some pics and eventually get them posted on here somehow. Anyway, enough of me rambling, comments are always welcome! God Bless!
