There are only 7 of us in each group and we have become pretty fast friends. Some days it definitely takes more then one of us to help care for our patients, so we are on big team and work together!! The guy is our med nurse from the second floor, and he was very helpful and also took great concern in finding things he thought we would like to see and do!! Today was my worst day yet and I must say, if it were not for these girls and my instructor Mrs. VanMullen, I do not know how I would have done anything.<br /><br />This picture was taken our second week on the second floor, and the patients here are short-term care. We have now moved to the three floor and these are long-term care patients. The medical needs are greater here and more difficult... <br /><br />We listen to the other groups talk and I must say I do believe we are the best at working as a team and so far have seen really cool things, in comparison to the other 8 groups!!! Our instructor wants us to see everything and try everything there is at our facility, she gets us in there, from row, hands on!!! It is Great!!!Brett&Hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06971361658269757622noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797135493401715849.post-60936493274324451552008-03-12T13:38:00.000-07:002008-03-12T13:43:16.554-07:00He is so precious!!!!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R9g_eHZN1vI/AAAAAAAAAgs/uo1YKAMho2c/s1600-h/030408_11261.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R9g_eHZN1vI/AAAAAAAAAgs/uo1YKAMho2c/s400/030408_11261.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176957558275823346" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R9g_eHZN1wI/AAAAAAAAAg0/vlVQiVvue64/s1600-h/cb+lunch.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R9g_eHZN1wI/AAAAAAAAAg0/vlVQiVvue64/s400/cb+lunch.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176957558275823362" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R9g_eXZN1xI/AAAAAAAAAg8/pGqtigUCRSE/s1600-h/aunt.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R9g_eXZN1xI/AAAAAAAAAg8/pGqtigUCRSE/s400/aunt.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176957562570790674" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R9g_e3ZN1yI/AAAAAAAAAhE/OcYKK-Y7IxI/s1600-h/fish.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R9g_e3ZN1yI/AAAAAAAAAhE/OcYKK-Y7IxI/s400/fish.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176957571160725282" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R9g_fHZN1zI/AAAAAAAAAhM/YdOV_kTKEpo/s1600-h/keaton.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R9g_fHZN1zI/AAAAAAAAAhM/YdOV_kTKEpo/s400/keaton.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176957575455692594" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Keaton is growing so fast, he is on the move now!! It will not be long before he is walking either, he is already getting up to his feet (unsteady), but he is working his way there. Last week Brittany was on Spring Break so she came on Friday and brought Keaton to come have lunch with his Aunt Hillary and Aunt Brittany!!! I do believe he was worn out by the end of the week. Aunt Brittany kept him for Rach, so he was a busy guy hanging out with Aunt Brittany!<br /><br />These are a few pictures of time with Keaton!! One is of me and him at the fish tank, he loves fish!!! There is a video that my dad took of us two and I will try to add it here, it is so cute!!! He really gets excited when the fish swim in front of him!!!Brett&Hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06971361658269757622noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797135493401715849.post-23883090060760958312008-03-12T13:15:00.000-07:002008-03-12T13:35:17.316-07:00Clinicals!!!!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R9g6C3ZN1uI/AAAAAAAAAgk/X2K-5PgwKiM/s1600-h/1st.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R9g6C3ZN1uI/AAAAAAAAAgk/X2K-5PgwKiM/s400/1st.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176951592566249186" /></a><br /><br /><br />Hello!!!! So life has been the busiest I think it could ever possible be!!! I started clinicals three weeks ago and have not stopped yet. Between clinicals ALL of the paperwork that goes along with it and then studying for Fundamentals, Pharmacology, and Dosage (Math for Nursing) and then life, I have had a lot going on. I love clinicals and really like my facility, West Meade Place in Bellevue, an assisted living/ Rehab facility. In my three weeks there I have cared for three patients and must say I have had the best patients for my first time being Nurse! Being “Nurse” is what or instructors call our role! Every morning our instructors come in and say “Good morning Nurses!!”, then we pray as a group for our fellow Nurses that are there with us! It is just some so in encouraging. <br />Each week I have a patients, starting Mondays I go in meet my patient and learn about what is going on with them. What I can do to assist in their daily lives there at WMP! Tuesday and Wednesday are the days that we do all of the care for each patient. There are seven of us in our group and we work closely with one another, so really I get to see six other patients for three days!<br /><br />I have had a great experience during my clinicals and have been able to do very interesting procedures! When you first learn something out of a book, it seems just ok, but when you really get to see and do thing up close and personal, WOW!!! I am going to love my job as a Nurse. I know I have sure picked the PERFECT job for me!!! <br /><br />My picture is of my first clinical day at West Meade Place!Brett&Hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06971361658269757622noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797135493401715849.post-66128386243093787662008-02-15T12:47:00.001-08:002008-02-15T12:50:10.334-08:00The Band!!!!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R7X6c4gxBTI/AAAAAAAAAf8/yXp1MOHrOlQ/s1600-h/ccr2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R7X6c4gxBTI/AAAAAAAAAf8/yXp1MOHrOlQ/s400/ccr2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167311521590609202" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R7X6dIgxBUI/AAAAAAAAAgE/kkZADdolt2Y/s1600-h/ccr3.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R7X6dIgxBUI/AAAAAAAAAgE/kkZADdolt2Y/s400/ccr3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167311525885576514" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R7X6dIgxBVI/AAAAAAAAAgM/oSPKQoH3hlE/s1600-h/ccr.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R7X6dIgxBVI/AAAAAAAAAgM/oSPKQoH3hlE/s400/ccr.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167311525885576530" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R7X6dogxBWI/AAAAAAAAAgU/VOO3HRmsLRw/s1600-h/brett.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R7X6dogxBWI/AAAAAAAAAgU/VOO3HRmsLRw/s400/brett.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167311534475511138" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R7X6dogxBXI/AAAAAAAAAgc/uu7J1Khfg1g/s1600-h/jm+and+brittany.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R7X6dogxBXI/AAAAAAAAAgc/uu7J1Khfg1g/s400/jm+and+brittany.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167311534475511154" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />These are picture my sister took of Cross Canadian Ragweed playing!!!

The both put on a great show and Rocked out!!!!<br /><br />I know the pictures look like it was a crazy night and I look like I was gone in a few pictures. Really I was the DD so I did not drink, LOL!!! Man, I sure would hate to see what I would have looked like if I had been drinking.

These are some picture my sister took while we were at my Grandparents the other night for a family dinner. He is 8 months old this month and that boy is on the move!!! A few weeks ago Keaton came over to stay at my parent’s house and boy we were so busy “talking” and laughing, and Poppa working with him to move those legs. He was pulling himself, he had not gotten the idea yet of crawling. Just a few weeks later he is crawling like he has been doing this all a long!! Not to be to bias, but I think he is just one of the cutest little boy’s I have ever seen. Boy Brett and I are blessed with the most handsome nephews one could have!!!! <br /><br />Keaton might be a football player, like his dad. Christopher said he likes to put his head up to his and push really hard against his!!! It was so cute. Let’s just hope he does not learn how to head-butt people. My little sister Bri learned that when she was little at day-care and man she could really hurt you. The other pictures are of Keaton on the move and one with his Lolly. Keaton just loves his Lolly and Poppa so much. <br /><br />Before we know it Keaton will be turn 1….Connor just turn 1 in December and now Keaton. They are just growing, growing, growing. Before long they will be starting school. <br /><br />Well, I hope everyone enjoys the pictures as much as we do!!!Brett&Hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06971361658269757622noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797135493401715849.post-1641901426884392772008-02-06T12:29:00.000-08:002008-02-06T12:56:29.644-08:00Busy little bee!!!Hello!!! It has been awhile since our last post, so I wanted to update. Everything is really busy these days, between school, work and the remaining plans that we have for the Wedding!!! Mostly school is what keeps me busy these days; there is a ton of work and studying to do daily. Most days I lose track of what day of the week it is, and mostly I continue to lose track of the time. There is never enough time in the day to complete everything that needs to be done. Nursing school is very exciting and I love every bit of it, even being stressed out!! I tell myself; December 2009 you will be a nurse, so just keep on going. School will be getting even more exciting in a few weeks, I start clinicals February 26th!!!!! I will actually have pt's to care for two days out of the week, and help in all of their basic needs!!! And I mean basic needs, baths, oral care, intake of all fluids and food, and much much more that I will not describe for everyone. This is going to be so awesome!!! My clinical facility will be in Bellevue, West Meade Place! This is a Nursing home on the west side of Nashville, but it is close to school. I will only be in this facility a couple of months; we will be going back to our skills lab to learn how to administer medications for the remainder of the semester. <br /><br />Brett is doing wonderful too!!! He is working and working out! Hunting is over for him and baseball has not started yet. In this down time from these two he loves working out and keeping a healthy diet, which I so admire in him!! He is really well balanced and really stays strong to what he plans! We just went after church on Sunday and picked out tuxedos for the Wedding! He made great chooses and I think he is going to look very handsome!!! I do think he is getting excited that it is so close, you know when you can just tell in someone’s tone of voice and expressions, well I see it!!! It makes me get even more excited when I see him get excited about the Wedding!! He is super excited about the Honeymoon too, he just keeps saying, "I can not wait until we get to the beach!!!" He missed going to the beach last year, so he is overly excited to get there this year!! <br /><br />I hope all is well for everyone! Hopefully it will not be to long before the next post, I am trying to get Brett to post a few and add some pictures for me!

I thought what in the world could have caused that, shortly after I refreshed my internet and see Drug-related. I am so disappointed to find this out. I thought he was such a great actor and I never would have seen him as a drug user. Here I am going on like he was my best friend or something. I just had a different picture painted in my mind. What a tragic thing to happen. The really sad part is that he has a two year old daughter. Well, I have gone on and on, but I was total shocked to read about this guy. I just wanted to share my disappointment. That seems to be all Hollywood is about anymore. We never see the good things.Brett&Hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06971361658269757622noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797135493401715849.post-13871066207594322892008-01-02T07:52:00.000-08:002008-01-02T07:54:26.964-08:00Word ScrambleHello!!!

I absolutely adore the Nutcracker and always enjoy going to see it!! Brett got us Orchestra level sets in the middle row and middle section. It was so amazing and I had just the most wonderful time. I got a new Nutcracker doll; new mini Pointe shoes (ornament) and a ballerina in a Piqué turn (also an ornament). I have several Nutcracker dolls and ornaments that I have gotten each year that I attend the ballet and added new ones to my collection.<br /><br />I love ballet; it is my favorite style of dance. I really believe that I will never be able to give this up. I have tried a few times to not take classes, but I just feel like I am going crazy if I don’t. It lets out so much stress and helps me calm down; dance is defiantly my outlet for stress and tension. What will I do when school is back in session and I do not have the time? I for one will have to find a studio that is closer to Brett’s house once we get married and I move to Old Hickory. <br /><br />Our friends Richie and Sara also had tickets and we made it a double date!! We meet and went to eat at the Old Spaghetti Factory and then the ballet. While we were there for intermission we meet up (we had different sets) and were talking. Then the most incredible thing happened to us!! This couple came up and asked if we would take their picture. So Sara took the camera for the pictures. While Sara took the first picture which was very nice he turns and looks at her and is talking and trying to kiss her. She is trying to get him to look at the camera and smile. “I overheard her say what you are doing?” and then all of a sudden he reaches into his coat breast pocket and pulls out her engagement ring. Right there in front of us he asked her to marry him!!!! I was so incredible. Brett, Richie and I figured it out when we saw him reach into his coat, but Sara already knew. He had leaned into her and told her what he was up to. We all just thought he was showing her how to work the camera. She knew so she keep taking pictures of the while thing. It was so awsome and such a treat to see!!!

A few weekends ago he got his first deer ever and it was a doe. She had a lot of meat on her and was a great size. This buck was his second deer for the season and it was a really good size buck. As you can tell it is an 8 point buck and had a great form. Brett shot this buck from about 200 yards away with a 30-06 rifle. He took it that afternoon to have the head mounted. Brett cuts up all of his meat himself and I must say it is a long process. Though it is long and time consuming he really enjoys cutting his own deer so he can get the meat his way. Brett is really, really enjoying his new sport and that is all he seems to be able to talk about. That same weekend Brett went to Arkansas with one of his best friends Marshall and his father Tommy Fuson to their duck lease. The weather was to nice so they did not get any ducks. How funny is that, the weather was too nice which means that it was to warm for the duck and they did not get any. I am sure they will be making another trip soon to get ducks. Brett has no preferences on what he hunts; just that he gets to hunt altogether!!! His freezer is packed full with deer meat and that seems to be all he eats these days. He is always on the look for a new recipe on how to cook deer meat, along with always on the look out for a great place to hunt. I also should tell you, Brett is really enjoying his hunting for more reasons then just the kill. He is such an outdoors man, so he is really enjoying the nature and its beauty that surrounds him while he is out there. He takes so many pictures of the wildlife and the forest that surrounds him. One exciting animal that he has seen are bald eagles and their nest. Which I think is so cool. Hunting has really relaxed Brett and is very calming for him. After a hard week at work it is very soothing for him to be out there and taking all there is to see in.<br /><br />More post will come along after Brett’s next kill. And for those of you wondering, we are still discussing where his new deer head will be mounted in the house!!!! I will let you know of the outcome….Brett&Hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06971361658269757622noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797135493401715849.post-69537928601815395482007-12-15T20:40:00.000-08:002007-12-15T22:13:32.465-08:00Our Pumpkin carving!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R2Ss_N3WCmI/AAAAAAAAAZk/meUE9d7IqGs/s1600-h/Hillary%27s+cam+220.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R2Ss_N3WCmI/AAAAAAAAAZk/meUE9d7IqGs/s400/Hillary%27s+cam+220.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144426876417477218" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R2Ss_d3WCnI/AAAAAAAAAZs/OWrSNBrfCCs/s1600-h/Hillary%27s+cam+216.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R2Ss_d3WCnI/AAAAAAAAAZs/OWrSNBrfCCs/s400/Hillary%27s+cam+216.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144426880712444530" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R2Ss_t3WCoI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/ls5vuwL1u2Y/s1600-h/Hillary%27s+cam+222.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R2Ss_t3WCoI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/ls5vuwL1u2Y/s400/Hillary%27s+cam+222.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144426885007411842" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />These are the pumpkins we carved for Halloween!!

I have always loved this prayer and wanted to share it!!<br /><br /><br /> <blockquote> <blockquote> <em><strong> May the Lord bless you and keep you.<br /> May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious onto you.<br /> May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace. Amen.</strong></em></blockquote></blockquote><br /><br /><br />After youth was over we would circle up and across your right arm over your left arm and hold the hands of the people next to you in the circle. After we said our praises and prayers we would said our benediction. After we finished we would still hold hands and the whole circle would turn to the right and as a whole circle we would turn all the way around and still be holding hands and face the outside. Ready for a new week!!! <br /><br />Oh how much I loved youth group and going. I have been hearing many people saying "May God Bless you and keep you" lately and it just keeps reminding me of Youth and I just wanted to share!!<br /><blockquote></blockquote>Brett&Hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06971361658269757622noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797135493401715849.post-3144096402948274992007-12-13T08:20:00.000-08:002007-12-13T08:32:09.617-08:00This is so nice!!My Aunt sent me this in an email the other day. I just got around to opening the email and this is what I found!!! A link that connects you to Xerox online and you can send tons of <em><strong>FREE</strong></em> cards to the troops everywhere!!!! All of the cards are made my school children and then there are pre-written messages or you can write your own!!! I just thought this was so nice and very thoughtful... You can also read messages left from soldiers who have received the cards. You can not pick a name or a place, so it makes it even better to make sure almost everyone will get snail mail (love snail mail) when their away from home, especially during this hard time.<br /><br />I just wanted to share this with everyone and give out the link so if anyone else would enjoy sending a card they could!!<br /><br /><br />Here is the link if you want to vist:<br /><a href="http://www.letssaythanks.com">http://www.letssaythanks.com</a>Brett&Hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06971361658269757622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797135493401715849.post-9379855483598251862007-12-11T10:17:00.000-08:002007-12-11T10:20:52.529-08:00Hello All!!!!<em><strong>Hello All!!!</strong></em> I know it has been a long time since our last blog and I am sorry about that. Life in all of its wonders and adventures has kept me very busy and left me little time to do ALL of the things I enjoy... Lacy I will try to get my Bumble bee outfit on from Halloween if I can. I had it on my camera and have no clue as to how, but I erased all of my 300 something pictures off. So, I hope that I have loaded them all on to Brett's computer before I did that, but I have not checked yet. What a nice surprise it will be if I did get them on his computer. I hope so because I really liked my Bee outfit and a couple of the kids that came trick-or-treating did too!!!!<br /><br /><br />Well, all is very well with us!! Just busy, busy, busy....School will be starting soon and I could not be more excited about that. I am so ready to get back to classes. For anyone who does not know, I have had to set out this semester because I have no other classes to take. I drug my feet about applying to Nursing school that I took all of my classes and then some, so no more classes. I think that could be nice but I love school and hated sitting out. <br /><br />Needless to say I am so looking forward to school, not only because I am ready for more learning, but I will be learning about NURSING!!!!!! That is the most exciting part possible, LOL!!!!<br /><br />The wedding plans are coming along wonderfully. I have picked everything but a Florist and I find that to be the hardest part yet. Now that school is starting I am handing all of the planning over to my mom and wedding coordinator Sarah!!! They know what I like and what I want so they are going to finish making the arrangements for me!!! Now, how great is that going to be? I am so excited for this day to come; it could not be anymore perfect. No matter what does or does not happen I know this is going to be the best day of my life so far!!!<br /><br /><em>I hope all are well and are having Wonderful Holidays with your families and loved ones!!! All are in my thoughts and prayers over these next couple of weeks and I pray everyone has safe travels!!!</em><br /><br /><br /><em><strong>God Bless!</strong></em>Brett&Hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06971361658269757622noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797135493401715849.post-80844550181167683972007-12-11T09:27:00.000-08:002007-12-11T09:58:47.433-08:00Sunday School Christmas Party!!!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R17Jqs8whhI/AAAAAAAAAYk/c1oG1B-eCmg/s1600-h/Picture+016.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R17Jqs8whhI/AAAAAAAAAYk/c1oG1B-eCmg/s400/Picture+016.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142769559961372178" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R17JrM8whiI/AAAAAAAAAYs/4MHDRA2BrzQ/s1600-h/Picture+015.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R17JrM8whiI/AAAAAAAAAYs/4MHDRA2BrzQ/s400/Picture+015.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142769568551306786" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R17Jrc8whjI/AAAAAAAAAY0/1Jx1mD5uOd8/s1600-h/Picture+017.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R17Jrc8whjI/AAAAAAAAAY0/1Jx1mD5uOd8/s400/Picture+017.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142769572846274098" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R17Jr88whkI/AAAAAAAAAY8/9LSlgy7Nqss/s1600-h/Picture+019.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R17Jr88whkI/AAAAAAAAAY8/9LSlgy7Nqss/s400/Picture+019.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142769581436208706" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R17JsM8whlI/AAAAAAAAAZE/4TdSsX_DgQ0/s1600-h/Picture+018.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/R17JsM8whlI/AAAAAAAAAZE/4TdSsX_DgQ0/s400/Picture+018.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142769585731176018" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />These are pictures from our Sunday school party this past weekend!!! We went Ice Skating and then to dinner at Kobe's Japanese restaurant!!! It was so wonderful and so much fun... Brett and I love our Sunday school class and love getting together with everyone... Actually we just started this class only a couple of months ago. There were classes but not anything for our ago group. Everyone is always welcome in all of the other Sunday school classes of course, but nothing for our ago group. So a few months ago we formed a class and here we are…<br /><br />I did not get pictures of everyone and I am so sorry about that. I was trying to get pictures and trying to Ice Skate, which was very hard... I am not the best, but I did get off of the wall and I did skate a little bit fast with Brett (he was holding my hand so I would not fall), LOL!!! It was very sweet of him for helping me!!!<br /><br />In the pictures are, Brett and I, Charlie Dean our teacher and Brett, Megan and Brian Hutto, Me and Laura, and Charlie and Jennifer Dean.<br /><br />There are many more people in our class and many more that came. I just did not get all of the pictures. Next outing we are on I will get more of everyone!!!Brett&Hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06971361658269757622noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797135493401715849.post-59402681732301725412007-11-03T20:18:00.001-07:002007-11-03T20:48:29.751-07:00Indiana Jones<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/Ry0-FywqfOI/AAAAAAAAAXU/ObbD-63W5bw/s1600-h/Hillary%27s+cam+197.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/Ry0-FywqfOI/AAAAAAAAAXU/ObbD-63W5bw/s400/Hillary%27s+cam+197.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5128823819891014882" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/Ry0-GiwqfPI/AAAAAAAAAXc/u-V9YPthsZQ/s1600-h/Hillary%27s+cam+198.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/Ry0-GiwqfPI/AAAAAAAAAXc/u-V9YPthsZQ/s400/Hillary%27s+cam+198.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5128823832775916786" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/Ry0-HSwqfQI/AAAAAAAAAXk/r6-_6KH0RTE/s1600-h/Hillary%27s+cam+200.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/Ry0-HSwqfQI/AAAAAAAAAXk/r6-_6KH0RTE/s400/Hillary%27s+cam+200.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5128823845660818690" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/Ry0-HiwqfRI/AAAAAAAAAXs/zPjFMGYq1z0/s1600-h/Hillary%27s+cam+203.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/Ry0-HiwqfRI/AAAAAAAAAXs/zPjFMGYq1z0/s400/Hillary%27s+cam+203.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5128823849955786002" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/Ry0-ISwqfSI/AAAAAAAAAX0/cruJ3xQHWUI/s1600-h/Hillary%27s+cam+204.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/Ry0-ISwqfSI/AAAAAAAAAX0/cruJ3xQHWUI/s400/Hillary%27s+cam+204.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5128823862840687906" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Look it is Indiana Jones to save the day!!!!Brett&Hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06971361658269757622noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797135493401715849.post-69079730219641723342007-11-03T19:52:00.000-07:002007-12-11T09:59:37.032-08:00Rockwood First United Methodist Church Youth Reunion!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/Ry00ZCwqfMI/AAAAAAAAAXE/WBLdFrg2p4o/s1600-h/Hillary%27s+cam+167.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/Ry00ZCwqfMI/AAAAAAAAAXE/WBLdFrg2p4o/s400/Hillary%27s+cam+167.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5128813155487218882" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/Ry00ZiwqfNI/AAAAAAAAAXM/hK2-or93K-k/s1600-h/Hillary%27s+cam+168.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SY2D9-rRrsg/Ry00ZiwqfNI/AAAAAAAAAXM/hK2-or93K-k/s400/Hillary%27s+cam+168.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5128813164077153490" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br> A few weekends back the chrch were Brett grew-up had it's Homecoming!!

Well, anyways we had a great time visiting and I got to meet new people that were instrumental to Brett and his childhood! We rode up to Rockwood with Brett's mom and dad and I also got to meet some of thier old friends that they do not get to see as much now that they live here in Lebanon. <br /><br />After the morning service we had a wonderful pot-luck lunch provided by all of the members and a great gathering to sit and talk with everyone. After lunch several of the Youth members from when Brett was in youth meet in thier old youth class room and had a reminisce session on wonderful memories everyone had from their youth days!!<br /><br />It was so great to see everyone and visit, it was also great to go to the church Brett grew-up in.Brett&Hillaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06971361658269757622noreply@blogger.com1
