Passing the Time

Today is Friday June 13th, and I am so happy to say that Matt will be returning home on Monday. To be quite honest it has not been that bad with him gone. My family has been keeping me pretty busy so I haven't really had time to think about Matt being gone, but when I do think about him I'm ready for him to come back home.

Now moving on to a better note. Last night I attended the first night of Country Fever 2008, and I have to say that it was probably one of the best concerts I have ever beent to. My Father, youngest sister and I all went. We didn't go until about 8:00pm to watch Joe Nichols who opened for Sugarland. Joe Nichols did alright, but the best part of the night was watching Sugarland perform, they were incredible, there are no words to describe the show the put on last night. If you like country music, you should try to go to one of their concerts you will be blown away by their performance. Tonight Gretchen Wilson it going to open up for Dierks Bentley so I'm sure it will be another night packed with great performances, so I better quit blogging and start getting ready. See ya Later

It's Been Awhile

I'm so sorry it has been so long since I have posted anything on here. I'm not very good at keeping up with this blogger am I? I'll try to catch everyone up on what I have been up to, but to be quite honest my life hasn't changed much since the lost post.

Work
It's so hard to believe that this month I will have been at my job for a whole year. I guess when you love your job time just flies by. We still have not hired anyone to replace Stephanie, but Dr. Peters daughters are in there helping out everyday, so it makes life a little easier and less stressful.

Rent House
It has been so hard being patient about the remodeling of the rent house I am getting ready to move into. They finally laid carpet and tile down the other day, everything is starting to fall into place so I should be moving within the next week or so. I am very excited about moving, I have been stuck in my parents house for the last year and a half. Let me tell you all something once you have been out of your parents house for a couple years, it is so hard moving back in with them, it's like all your privacy and freedom is gone. It is very hard to get used to. So getting back out on my own will be a very nice treat.

Boyfriend
These last three weeks have been very crazy for Matt and I. Matt's best friend Scott came in from Iraq on leave about two weeks ago, so Matt and I spent most of our time over at Scott and Tanya's house playing Spades and Domino's, basically just spending as much time with Scott as we could. Scott shipped back out to Iraq on Monday 6/2/08 for another three months over there, then has should be home for good after that. I felt so bad for Scott's wife, Tanya, and their little three year old girl, Emma. The night before he left we were over there and Emma didn't want to go to bed because she didn't want her daddy to leave the next day, Scott had to try to explain to Emma that he would be back in three months. It was very sad. Now as of this week Matt is leaving today for Canada on his yearly fishing trip and will not be back until the 16th of June, so I get to spend 10 days without him. We have been dating for five months and spend most of our time together so ten days without is going to be kinda of tough on me, but I think I'll manage. In the end it will be better for us to see how well we do apart from each other.

Well I think I have written enough, I hope this helps on catching everyone up on whats going on in my life, and I will try to post more in a week or so.

By Myself Again

This past week into this week has been kind of hectic. As all of you know I work at Peter's Family Chiropractic Center and I have been working there since June '07. I think it was around November we hired one woman to give me a little help up here at the front desk, between paper work and taking x-rays it's gets a little tough to manage all of it and remember everything, she was doing alright, but towards the end of her probation period it just wasn't working out. I was doing twice the work I was doing before she came a long because I was constantly having to go behind her and fix things that she did wrong....I know not her fault because she was new but still it was very stressful. So January, Febuary, and the first week of March go by still working up at the front by myself and trying to manage everything. Then one day this young woman, about my age, walks through the door. We weren't really looking for anyone to hire at the moment, because I was doing pretty good managing all of it, but the Doctor and I both knew it would be nice to have someone to do the little tedious things. This young woman filled out an application, spoke to us for a little while, and left her resume. We were very impressed with her, and were both ready to give her a call to come back and try out working with us. Stephanie started working with us around middle March, it took alot of the little work off of my shoulders so I could focus on other things that needed to be done. Around the end of March Stephanie got married, and three weeks later found out they were expecting. Along with all of that exciting news stephanie had recieved, she was having issues with her 2 yearolds daycare, so we all decided it would be for the best for her to stay home with her daughter and the one on the way. So here we are beginning of April, and I am by myself again.

Eventually we will hire somebody but I think for the time being we are doing alright with just the doctor and I. We will see, hopfully we will get busier and have to hire somebody.

Hope everyone has a good week and weekend. Love Laura

Long Weekend

This last weekend was a very long weekend for me

Friday

First of all on friday I was so glad it was friday until Matt told me he was spending his whole weekend helping a friend build a fence. That news right there kind of bummed me out because I knew then that I probably wouldn't get to see him all weekend. So friday night I spent at my parents house for a change, which was alright, I got to catch up on reading, and hanging out Samantha, my youngest sister.

Saturday

I got to sleep in mmmmm..... after sleeping until about 10:ooam I got up and did some laundry and more reading, then I went to Pryor to go tan, and check on the rent house they are about done fixing up for me yah!! Then I went pre-bowled for sunday night league. On my way home after that exciting trip to pryor I decided to stop by my Aunt Stacey's house and see what all of them were up to. I ended up stayin there most the night thinking we were going to play cards, around ten o'clock we all decided we were to tired to do anything so I went back to my parents and went to bed, and I was missing matt like crazy, needless to say it was a restless night.

Sunday

I slept in a little bit longer than I did Saturday, then Samantha and I got up did laundry and watched movies most the day until dinner time, then we went over to my Aunt Stacey's house and ate a tremendous meal prepared by my uncle James, it was really good. After we ate I sat around my aunts house with all of them and watched more movies.

Finally Matt called around 8:00pm so I went over there to see him. This was the first real weekend in a month that Matt and I had not been with each other all weekend. It was kind of hard being away from him, but I think I handled it really well, the real test comes in June when Matt leaves for his fishing trip in Canada for almost two weeks, now thats going to be hard. I'll keep you all posted on that dilema lol.

Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday went really well. We went to church that morning, and my youngest sister Samantha got baptized. Later on after church we went to my great grandfathers house and ate lunch there. This easter the whole family was there, it was really nice getting to see all the little ones and catching up on whats going on in everybody elses life. The best part about easter was watching the little ones easter egg hunt, and then they hid the eggs for some of us older adults and we had to look for them, and my family is so competetive my aunts and I were running around picking up eggs putting them in the easter baskets and then we would come up behind each other and try to knock all the eggs out of the baskets. It was a blast!! Needless to say I didn't end up with very many eggs, thanks to my aunt Brandy and my aunt Stacey :) All in all it was wonderful easter with all of my family.

So Far So Good

Blogging is a new thing for me. I have started this blog to keep friends and family updated on what is going on in my life. So here it goes!


So Far So Good


Before last June I was not sure what I was going to do. I was only two classes from applying for the nursing program, but the two classes I needed were tough ones to pass, and they are even harder to pass when you don't want to get out of bed drive an hour and 15 there just to sit there for an hour class everyday. I know I was being pretty lazy in that department. So around the beginning of June I was looking for a second job to help pay bills and have enough money to drive back and fourth from school, then I got the best offer ever. I got an offer to work as a Chiropractors assistant at Peter's Family Chiropractic Center. At first I wasn't sure if I should quit school to work, and I think I was more worried what people would think if I wasn't still going to school. I fought with myself, and fought with myself about what to do, and finally I decided to take the job and quit school, and it has been the best decision I have ever made. I thank god everyday for helping me make that decision.

I have been working at Peter's Family Chiropractic Center for the last 9 months, and have enjoyed it very much. I have learned so much working there. I do all the Booking and Billing, and I also take X-Rays.

So far this last year has been wonderful and I am so thankful for everything and everyone in my life. Thanks to all you that have read this I hope you enjoyed it and it got you up to date on everything going on in my life.
