I did it. YEAH!!! My next accomplishment will have to be to get a back drop behind it or to set it up as a scrapbook page. Melissa, I might need your help with that one....
This past Monday, friend's of ours had their second baby girl; Ava Grace. Friday night, I skipped John's game and made a scrapbook for Ava that walks through her first year. It was so cute. Every month had it's own page with stickers and decorations. I was so excited to give it to Kristen. We went over to their place Saturday and held Ava. They loved the book! I was thrilled!
After visiting, we went out to eat and then to the Hershey Bears Ice Hockey Game. Wow, there was tons of fighting, which I guess I should have expected, but still.... We had a lot of fun. It was nice to just go out with John for a change and not with all our friends. It kind of felt like we were dating all over again.... I liked it.

1 1/2 hours later...
Ok, so yesterday there was a huge accident on 283W. I left for work at 4, but was not scheduled until 445, so I figured I had plenty of time. Well, a 15 minute drive took me an hour and a half! It was horrible.
Anyway, I got to work and here, a sophomore from E-Town College jumped off a bridge onto 283 committing suicide. I have been trying to watch the news all I can, but nothing is being said about it. Apparently, a mack-truck hit her. I just can't image finally being at the point in my life where I decide to end it. I will keep you updated if I hear anything else.

Ok, so that previous blog didn't work out so hot.
This week as been great. Sunday, I carved pumpkins with the Hahn children. I took some really great pictures and I will post them if I learn how soon. Monday night we had our 1st life group meeting. It was awesome! John and I love everyone who comes. He hit it off right away with all of them. (It might have helped a little that the one boy is a senior football kicker for Millersville University) Anyway, we can't wait to go back next week. Classes have been going great and I can't wait to finish.

con`grat`u`la`tion`s
Wow, what a great day I had. My day started off bright and early at 5:30. On my way to school, I saw my first EVER shooting star and of course had to make a wish. I took a test on the cardiovascular system, and did fine. This was not the test I was worried about. I was worried about the one at 3:30.... The big one... The one that my entire future depended upon....
3:30 came and I had to take a 10 question math test. I had 1 hour to pass it and needed to obtain 100%. Well, by 3:45, I had done it.... I passed with flying colors and was offically accepted to the RN nursing program. I am extadic! My dreams can actually start to happen now. I am ready.
And to think, it all started because of a shooting star and my faith that God knew all my plans.
Tonight is also our first life group meeting at 7:30. I'm excited where as I think John is nervous. He is comfortable in the Manheim setting with people he knows. I want to branch out and meet new people. Can't wait.

Great Weekend
I had an awesome weekend!
Church on Sunday was so moving. I felt myself at times wanting to cry with the songs we were singing and everything that was going on around us. The sermon was all about giving the 10% tides to the Lord and also about how we can bring others into our "life boats." At the very end of the service, we all recevied a ball in which we were instructed to write the name(s) of someone who we wanted to help see the Lord, come to church, etc... We brought our balls up on stage one at a time and dropped them into a lifeboat. It really impacted me to see how many people that we as a congregation could help. All my Power Hour boys brought balls up also. It was so cute to see.
Saturday, I got a call from a lady @ church inviting John and myself to join her life group on Monday evenings. John and I as as couple have been struggling to find a group that suites both of our needs both individually and as a a couple. I think that this group may be it. Christy is married and has two children. Everyone else in the group is dating/engaged with no children. Some are in school, have jobs, and are at different stages in their lives as are John and I. So anyway, next Monday we are going to their home for a life group study. I hope it all works out and they like us and we like them. I am just really excited that someone would take the time to reach out to us as we contiune to struggle to find a right fit.

911--What's your emergency?
How, what an awesome day! Today, I rode with the Lancaster Ambulance for the morning. Our day started off at 7:30 with the first call....
82 year old woman with difficulty breathing
4 heart surgeries, pace maker, etc...
5 leg surgeries, most recent in July
Great, we get there and she has all her meds written down, husband there with all insurance information, blah, blah, blah. We manage to get her into the ambulance and off we go to LGH. I'm in the back with Debbie, while Brandon is driving. We're trying to start an IV with fluids, but with the great smooth roadways, we fudge our way through.
We hit a bump
The IV's in
Blood is shooting like a fountain everywhere
Ok, we have our gloves
Did it get in our mouths?, our eyes?
Ok, we're good and things are stable
Ugh! We finally make it to LGH and all is well. Most likely, our patient had a pulmonary embolism from her recent leg surgery. (a PE is a blood clot that has traveled through your body and lodged itself in your lungs).
Next case. We picked up a lady from the nursing home to take her to Ephrata to get her chemotherapy treatment. We have to wait there until she is finished!? (this took about 2 hours... need I say more) Anyway, while we were there, numerous calls are coming in...
Shooting in Lancaster outside the Belvedere
Accident in Lancaster City
23 year old with upper abdomen pain, vomitting
Why couldn't we go to those case, huh? Oh well, over all I had a great day.
You would honestly be surprised though to find out how many people do not pull over when an ambulance is passing with lights and syrines. FRUSTRATION SETS IN.
Ok, tonight is yet another football game against Ephrata. Wish us luck!

Ok, it was me...
Help! I totally need a blogspert! I am so bad at this stuff. As you can see in the previous entry, I completely messed everything up. I just don't get it!
Ahhh, the Shipe's had their baby on Friday about 1:00ish. They had a little girl named Ellison. How cute. They tell us she is adorable, of course, but I can't wait to see pictures real soon. The Enck's are expecting here any day also. Babies are everywhere!
I am feeling a little nervous about my upcoming math test. I get so stressed out about these things. I just feel like my future depends upon if I get into school or not. I really want this, but at the same time, I want my life to continue on and move to the next step. I guess we'll have to see what happens. Wish me luck!
FARMSHOW WEEK! FUNNEL CAKES! MILKSHAKES! BABY PIGS! I'm lovin it all!
