• John was here!!! =)

   Hey Everyone!! I decided  to write a short little update and get some pics on here!! =)   John came out last weekend !!! It was totally awesome! We hadn't seen each other for a LONG time!! He flew in Friday morning and left around noon on Monday. To say the least, the time flew!

      Friday night we were gonna play volleyball but then the other kids went on a picnic so we went out to eat instead.

      Saturday morning we left for Branson and spent the whole day there. We watched imax, played mini golf, shopped, and then spend the evening at Branson Landing! =)  Totally Awesome!!

     Sunday we went to church and ate with the other day-offers then we headed out to lost valley for the afternoon. We got back in time for a song service at Cornerstone! Good times! =)  In fact, it was such a good weekend that I don't think i'll write much about it on xanga! LOL!!=) 

  Monday.... hmmmm.... i don't think i'll comment because if anyone knows what it's like to say goodbye then i think you'll be able to read between the lines.

  It's a pretty long drive to the Airport and two of the staff girls were flying in monday night. So in order to save on gas i stayed in the area all afternoon. John left around noon and the girls didn't get in till 10:30 that night so it was a fairly long day!  I went shopping and sat at starbucks and all that good stuff so it wasn't bad at all! I was actually kinda glad that i didn't have to head back to Hillcrest right away!

  Last week was a week i wouldn't want to repeat any time soon! We were expecting the state inspectors to show up before long and sure enough, on sunday someone had seen them in the area! So Monday morning when i was at the airport my dear fellow hillcresters were saying hello to the beloved ????  inspectors! Usually the dietician is only in the kitchen 1 day but this time she split it up a little. I had to do Supper Tuesday and sure enough she decided to come in around 3! So my stomach was in knots for awhile! Glenda helped a ton and when the lady came back to the kitchen i realized that i didn't really need to be scared of a sweet old lady that had just had knee surgery! She only stayed and watched me puree the stuff for supper then she said she'd come back the next day and watch tray line at lunch! Whew! So in other words i got off pretty easy! Laura sweetly traded with me the next day so that's about all i had to do with state!! But all our efforts were worth it!!! I think State left on Thursday and  the Kitchen and  the CNAs didn't get a single tag!!! =)  We were all quite thrilled! 

      Glenda (our awesome dietary manager) took the kitchen crew (Laura, Mim, Ash, Emily, and myself)  out for pizza last night because we didn't get any tags from state! We had a total blast! After pizza we headed to walmart where we all got "interesting" shoes. We hung out at Glenda's house for awhile when we got back. Then i headed over to the upper cottage which is only occupied by Bethany right now. The E.D.ers (hannah, mandy, joanne and steph) came over too and we sat around in the living room with a bunch of candles and talked and ate parfaits till eventually we were too tired to stay awake. Btw Bethany and i are the only ones off today so that's why we got the other girls to party with us and then today we're just kinda doing our own thing. 

  So that's my life story from the past week or two! =)  And i doubt ill update again for a Long time!  Peace Out!

  At Lost Valley!

  

   I took this pic at lost valley the weekend that mom and dad came to pick up sheri. Unfortunately there wasn't half as much water when John and I went. =( It's a gorgeous place though!  

  ( and actually the world isn't tipped on it's side, i just don't feel like turning the pic right~so please forgive me!)
