From pilates, to second jobs, to a wedding, to my first trip bymyself!

Whew!!!! what a few busy weeks!!!!!!

Pilates! yep, I started doing pilates! well, I wanted to find something I could do, that was active, not too expensive, and close. Well, I found it, about 3 blocks from my house, $ 40, and alot of stretching, and toning! and I had my first class 2 weeks ago, and boy did I feel like a pretzel! lol! but it felt good, I was hoping to take the yoga class, but I missed the deadline, so I took pilates, very glad I did! We skipped last weeks class b/c the teacher wasnt going to be here, and extended the class another week! yay!

So yes, I wanted to get a second job, wasnt sure what I was looking for, and didnt know whether I wanted to start a new job(for my second job), I really wanted to go back to Krieders part-time, but didnt really feel like smelling like a french-fryer! hahaha! dont get me wrong, I loved working at Kreider's the interaction with people, and making food, 2 of my favorite things, lol, and my boss was GREAT!, but I hated smelling like fried foods, and even feeling like I had been drenched in oil! so, I asked my current boss if I could work some more hours, which she has, because she is AWESOME!, and my coworker asked if I wanted to do some housecleaning for her friend for some extra cash, and I said yes, so this is my second job, not a big comitment, I can pretty much say when I want to work, which is nice, since I ve been working some extra hours! so I ve been busy!

Plus this past weekend was James and Kayla Pettit's wedding, in which, Jerry sang "Together" and I played the piano! I wasnt nervous until rehersal, when I was asked to play the Recessional! agh! never played it before, but I just practiced and practiced and I got it! At the wedding Christa Green did the photography, and she asked if we ( Jerry and I) wanted some pictures taken since he was up! :D yay!!!! and she did an AWESOME job!!!!! And here they are:

:D :D :D

And now, this weekend I am venturing out, and going down to see Jerry at college, bymyself! agh!!!!! lol! no, I m pretty confident I can do it, Ive got a huge map of Maryland, courtesy of Jerry, and google maps, and directions, plus a GPS, so well see!!!! I 'll be leaving Sunday afternoon, spending the night at the Schmidleys, and coming home Monday night! Im sooo excited!!!!

well, this has been my few weeks, now I'm off to pilates class tonight! and then hopefully and early bedtime! lol!

~Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus,
Vast unmeasured, boundless, free!
Rolling as a mighty ocean in its fullness over me!
Underneath me, all around me, is the current
Of Thy love
Leading onward, leading homeward to
Thy glorious rest above!
Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus,
Spread His praise from shore to shore!
How He loveth, ever loveth, changeth
never, nevermore!
How He watches o'er His loved ones,
died to call them all His own
how for them He intercedeth, watcheth
o'er them from the throne!
Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus,
'Tis a heav'n of heav'ns to me
And it lifts me up to glory, for it lifts me up to Thee!~

Hope everyone has a great week, and an even better weekend!!!!!

I have crossed wires in my brain! ;) lol! (that explains it all!)

hahaha! yes, its true! I sneeze when I look at the sun, or the brightness from it, shortend condensed version from googling it, basically, the brightness of the sun dilates your eyes, making the optical nerve to send a signal to the brain to constrict the pupils, but b/c my wires are crossed, mistakens it for an irritant in the nose! hahaha! so, google has diagnosed me as having ACHOO Syndrome, even though Im sure many of you my friends have already diagnosed me even before I googled it! lol! :)

okay, now to find medication for my syndrome! lol! jk!

On to bigger and better things, life! well, its been crazy, been working alot, the Lord has been soo good! :) Dad is doing well, he has a neurologist appointment today so well see how that goes, and so far, his license hasnt been taken yet, so hopefully, it wont. Thank you all again for the prayers!
Jerry just left yesterday morning to go back to college for a few weeks, then be home, and then going back for field school this summer, Im going to miss him sooooo much. On Sunday night after church, we both had the same exact thought, so we ended up going to the Havre de Grace boardwalk! ;) hahaha! it was soooo funny that both of us had the same thought!
hmmm... what else???? Ive got all of my seeds for my garden, so I ve got to plant them on friday hopefully, and I got a strawberry plant pot, so Im anxious to see how that grows!
oh, and my computer almost caught on fire last night, as I was trying to update my blog, I set my computer down, and mom started smelling a candle burning smell, and she asked what that smell was, I told her I didnt smell it at the time, but I had my windows open, so I proceeded to pick up my computer, and put it on my lap, well then my leg started getting really hot, touched the bottom of my computer, and it was extremely hot, so I quickly grabbed my charging cord, unplugged it, and then hit the power button on my computer, and a few seconds later, looked at the bottom, and it has a penny sized melted spot, what from, I have no clue, so now Im afraid to turn it on, but I have all my files on there, so I m going to email our computer @ work, and see if he has any suggestions. ay-yi-yi!
hmmmm..... Friday night is game night at a coworkers house, so Im going to go down there a couple hours, then get up early on Saturday to help Sue and John Wiker with Dyno-day! should be interesting! and then, I dont know what else! lol!
Hope everyone is doing well in the blogging world! ;) May God bless you all! :) Romans 8:28

YUMMMM!!!! my favorite dessert! and then I had to get up VERY early this morning to go to West Chester for work, which was such a pretty drive, pretty houses! loved it, but it should be interesting driving back home, since ive only driven this way once! lol! hmmmm.... what else, oh Sunday we are going to Mr.Nissley's church to visit! I cant wait to see them!!!!! oh and next week Jerry comes home!!!!!!!!!!!! :D yippppeeeee!!!!! I cant wait, its been almost a month since I saw him! I cant wait! <3>
"Heal the wound but leave the scar; A reminder of how merciful You are; I am broken, torn apart, take the pieces of this heart; And heal the wound but leave the scar." ~ Heard this on WDAC this morning, really liked the words!

It looks like the snow has finally stopped!!!!! thank goodness! so last night as I talked to my boyfriend, I sat at our kitchen bench and watched the snow, what a beautiful sight!!!! and then this morning, I curled up with a book, a blanket and pillow and my cat, and was at the same spot wathcing the snow fall!!!!!

My New Blog!

Well, I decided to start a blog, I have no idea why, butI think it will be fun!

so I think my first post will be about me :) not that Im stuck on myself or anything! ;) , weeeellll, I am 20 yrs old, a King James Bible Believing Christian who loves my Lord(who is awesome, mighty and powerful) more than anything, I have a great job at a ear, nose and throat doctor, that I love, despite the patients who call in and like to test my patience's, but thats what make the day interesting! lol! I am currently taking a non-credit acrylic painting class at HACC, and will be taking a contemporay textured acrylic painting class next month, I have already taken a drawing class, which i really really loved!, and a short photography class. My hobbies, well, that depends on the day, how I feel, and the weather! lol! I like to crochet( ocassionally), love to read (pretty much anything), love to hike, bike ride, love to go anywhere that theres water! I just find it soooo relaxing! hmmmmm..... what else?! favorite seasons, probably fall and spring, beautiful colors and wonderful temperatures. favorite song: It Is Well! , favorite Bible verse: Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

well, thats about it for now, I might add some later. Adios, Steph
