I finished class. I'm now done until fall. Summer finally began at 2:00pm that day. I got an A- in the class and an A in my human bio.
School starts back up again Aug.21. This is my final semester. I'm very excited.
12-15
We went down to Grama and Grampa's.
After having left at 7:30pm, due to unfortunate work reasons, we didn't arrive at our destination until midnight. We were both really tired and ready for be, however, the car refuses to drive itself. Stubborn thing.
We had a really fun weekend. Played yahtzee, hung out with everyone. It was a good time.
Grampa is having surgery again at the end of August. Keep him in your prayers. Grama is retiring on the 17. She's really excited.

JoAnna and I have been working on our parts for VBS.
Note* There are many other people working very hard on their own part as well.
Almost everyday JoAnna and I have been at the church painting banners for the walls. It's a space theme and so there is a lot of black and silver. It's good fun but a lot of time.
JoAnna is the director, the main woman in charge, so she has a lot of stuff to do to get ready for this coming Monday. Because of all of that, I'm very grateful that I'm not the only one painting.
I'm in charge of the crafts. I'm very excited. I've been collecting all of the material for each activity and putting a prototype together. It's some good fun.
For the week, I get to be a gooby scientist. I'm deciding between crazy, absent-minded, "blind", or whatever else I can think of before VBS week starts.
Week four.
Yesterday was the start of the fourth week. The second week of the second phase of the Makers Diet.
I know I probably mentioned it before but I had exercised for eight weeks without any results before we did this. And because of the thyroid condition plus my anxiety medicine, I can't loose weight. However, in the first 10 days of the Makers Diet I had lost 10 pounds. I am gradually losing a little bit more each day.
Not only have both Bryan and I lost 10+ pounds each, we both feel so much better, more refreshed and more awake. I have also had a lot of redness in my face for the past 10 years that I couldn't get rid of. But since we started this it has faded. This makes me very happy so I don't have to wear make-up.
It's very lovely.
In other news:
Bryan and I are looking for another place to reside within. We need more room, and a dining room, or even a large kitchen with room for a table, would be nice. We would also like to have three bedrooms. This way we can have company and their only option wouldn't have to be the couch.
We still can't find our not cheap camera. Pray that we will.

In recent news...
So lately...
hm...
let's see...
My grampa had his surgery and is doing better. He had kidney failure because of the anestesia. I guess that happened last time and so when it happened this time my grama new what was going on and said something but the doctors didn't listen and ended up having them come back in when the pill didn't work for a catheter. So that's a nice bill for two e-room visits. He's doing better now and just needs to rest up. He will be having another surgery for another problem here in a month (I think).
What else...?
Last Thursday I got my second test back from Human Bio and I received a 99%. That would be an A+ but my school doesn't recognize the plus with the A's. That makes the A sad and lonely.
I also have two papers due on Monday that are 3-5 pages in length. Both, of which, are research papers. It wouldn't be so bad if I had the weekend to work on them as well but we are going down to my grandparents on Thursday so I will have to have everything together so I can work on typing it. If I can manage that then it won't be so bad.
Hm...
We also had Shawn Fest on June 2. Asaph's Apprentice was by far the best. However, I may be bias but they did bring the house down.
Joanna, Michael and Miss Hannah came to watch. Hannah (who is almost 4) and I head banged. Joanna and I got wet. Michael was definately having a good time rocking the casbah. It was very impressive.
There is also a benefit concert coming up on June 30 called Legacy. If you are going to be anywhere around you should come. It will be awesome.
Oh yes...
Yesterday we had a BBQ after church and surprisingly a lot of people showed. We sat around chatting and getting to know people better. Aquaintances have turned into friends. And friends have turned into better friends. It was a who-ha of a good time.
I made cake and there was none left to bring home. That was fine by me however delicious it was. If it came home we would have devoured it. That wouldn't be good.
After we had all eaten Bryan suggested frisbee so I said I would play. I didn't expect but maybe one or two people to play with us but we had a truck load of people come and play for over an hour. It was a huge circle and a whole lot of fun. Except Michael who was a frisbee thief. I think he was just showing off for the lovely Joanna. But that should be the case.
Anything else...
Bryan and I are going on The Makers Diet on Monday (not today but the next). We have to wait for the oils, aromatherapy and vitamins to come in. I'm really excited.
If you know me then you probably know that I have a thyroid condition that made me gain weight and makes it really hard to lose it. I have been working out and eating right for eight weeks now and I haven't lost a pound. So to do this in a healthy way we are starting the Makers Diet.
The guy who wrote the book had a lot of health conditions and incurable diseases. He didn't think he was going to make it to see his 21st birthday. After studying the Bible and following the original diet that God had set up he is now healthy, married and has a kid!
Now that I feel like I'm trying to sell this I'm really just talking about it cause I'm so dang excited. My thyroid condition is a lifetime thing but the book talks about how this diet is meant to make everything work the way God intended it. Now I'm not getting my hopes up by expecting a change but I think it would be awesome for my body to work the way it was meant to!
So, come Monday I will maintain the diary I started to keep track and let everyone know how it goes. This certainly is no man-made fad with pills and laxatives to get you down to a size triple 0 but God's way to get and keep you healthy. So I do expect it to work.
I will let you know.

Put grampa back together again
Today my grampa is going into surgery for his knee. Pray that it goes well and for the surgeon's hands. They're not replacing it but putting some new "cartilage" where the natural has deteriorated. I wish we could be down there with
my grama and grampa.
We love love love them.

We would have called him Pete.
I got my Human Bio test back today.
A-
Yippee!
I can't tell you how relieved I am.
She put the average on the bored
and it was a C+
so here I am thinking,
"oh no. Please don't let me have
less than a B."
But lo and behold.
A minus ladies and gentlemen.
-More good news-
Recently Bryan's employers have been
talking about giving him a raise
for all the amazing work he's been doing.
They're so impressed that they gave him a bonus
PLUS a raise!!
I'm so proud of him.
It's totally a God thing because we
are in need of some extra cash flow
ever since the government took us to the cleaners.
Both of our cars need a special touch,
we have school bills,
medical bills
and miscellaneous things that just seem to
get placed on the back burner.
Not to mention that we want to save
some money for a house
and my wedding dress STILL needs cleaned.
Can you imagine? three years later??
God is good.
Bryan and I saw a dog last night.
We were leaving wal-mart and this man
was standing at the end of the parking lot
with a dog who was laying on the grass
trying to stay cool.
He had a little vest on the read, "Adopt Me."
We so wanted to.
Honestly if we could have large dogs
and the money to buy all the things needed
and Chloe wouldn't disown us
we would have taken him in a heart beat.
But, alas, we couldn't.
I hope he goes to a good home.
Poor Pete.
Someday.

Four hard days of labor later...
Two very sore legs from butt to toes.
Three giant bruises.
Five cracks to the shins from a shovel.
Eleventy billion bonks to the head.
Tired.
Achy.
Hot
and
Grumpy.
Cold, windy, rainy.
Blistering heat.
Lots of water and sunblock.
Many redoes
from thousands of nuts and bolts on a swirly slide
to large upright 4×4×8.
The playground is finally finished.
And it was all worth it.
...Now to see their tiny happy faces on their new playstation.
