So for our anniversary
Bryan got a hotel room-
an Executive Suite.
It was awesome.
Living room, eat-in area,
small kitchen, king sized bed,
ginormous bathroom...
It had a shower, two sinks
and a jacuzzi!
It was great.
Yesterday, Keith came over
and helped Bryan with our white car.
It has been sitting in the parking lot
since November.
It needed work done on it but we
could only afford what had to be done
immediately.
The rest had to wait until we could
afford for it to be done.
About $300 worth.
Since we had let it sit for so long
the battery was dead,
the gas was bad
and something else wasn't looking so hot.
So yesterday they worked on the car
and two hours and $30 later it was fixed.
Imagine that.
However, Bryan didn't walk away without
getting bit by a hornet.
Twice.
There was a hornets nest behind
the drivers side mirror.
I saw two-
Then warned.
Bryan swatted-
Then ran.
The hornet attacked-
then bit... hard.
Poor Bryan.
Last night we had a meeting for
the discussion of VBS.
It went really well and I'm now
excited for next years!
So far...
I have lost eighteen pounds.
So on Saturday I got to go shopping
because my clothes are getting to big!
Wahoo!!

What a week!!!
Wow.
This week was nuts.
Monday-Friday we had VBS and I
was Professor Clutz the crafting scientist.
Although it was a little crazy, stressful and hectic
at times,
it was a lot of fun.
Last night was the craziest of the complete
three weeks.
I had to go in at 3:30 to
get all of the crafts set up for collection,
clean up from the previous night,
finish any crafts that were left unfinished
due to lack of time,
and set up for the nights crafts.
Bryan and I didn't get there til 4:00,
then Bryan only got to help for so long because
Keith needed help picking up a root beer keg.
So I was on my own.
I got some extra help from Miss Ashleigh
(she helped me a lot this week. Thanks Ash).
We had just beat the clock and made it in time.
During the first craft I had to use a hot glue gun
and I burnt myself.
On the tip of my middle finger.
It seriously hurt for three hours.
Throbbing, burning pain all the way
up my arm.
I had to keep my finger
dipped in ice water.
A ton of people helped me out
and took good care of me.
I now have a giant blister
and my finger is numb.
It'll heal.
After it was all said and done
we cleaned the whole church.
So many people helped out and pitched in
it got done in about an hour.
And the place was spic and span.
Afterwards, when everyone had gone home,
we went to leave and
found an anniversary card
on our windshield.
It was a beautifully handmade
and signed by a lot of wonderful people.
Bryan and I are still really touched
by the beautiful sentiment.
We feel truly blessed
having such wonderful people in our lives.
So all in all
Bryan and I had a wonderful week
at VBS
and a wonderful third anniversary.

It's really been a while...
12
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.
16-infinity
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.
