Which Way Am I Going?

Well obviously I never back around to posting another post about the good parts of the weekend and now I don’t even remember what I was going to talk about.  My brain feels like it’s going in a million different directions right now.  So much is going on!! Nothing really bad other than continued worries and prayers for my nephew who is still in the hospital until they can get his pain under control.  Between work, home, holidays, band, and just life in general I could really use a good 12 hour nap!! :)

Thank God for a good calendar and great friends and family to keep me sane and organized.  I have so much I WANT to do and so much I NEED to do that I’m just very overwhelmed at the present time.  But I’m determined to not let it get to me and just enjoy every single day the best I can and not worry about things that I just can’t get to.

Tonight we are doing something very fun and exciting!! We are going to the midnight premier of Breaking Dawn!! I can’t even begin to tell you how exciting that is for me! I’ve never gotten to go to a premier but this time I made it a priority and got it done.  Pretty proud that I’m stepping out of my comfort zone and doing something a tad bit crazy.  Three girls that I have worked with in the past are going along with my sister and her friend.  We will be getting in line around 8pm tonight and camping out for a few hours.  I made a fleece blanket to take with me since it’s going to be FREEZING!!!
 
The back is black and the front is the pink plaid and it’s folded up in the picture but it’s a pretty nice size for getting cozy!!

Well work is calling so I better get to it since I’m taking the day off tomorrow!!

Have a great weekend!!

Prayers Needed Please

What a weekend it has been! Not all in a good way! My post today may be a little graphic so if you have a quesy stomach please do not continue reading past the picture below.

Friday around 3pm we found out that our nephew broke his arm in an ATV accident while he was at the deer lease. We didn’t have much info but we weren’t too concerned because people break bones all the time.  He’s broken a wrist and an ankle just in the past couple of years (he’s 15).  Well about 30 minutes later Adam called and told me to come home early because he had actually almost severed his arm and they were rushing him into emergency surgery.  After I got home and we got changed we headed up to the hospital about an hour away. They had just finished the surgery and had put him in a room when we got there so we were able to get an update and see what was going on. 

He broke the Humerus bone in his left arm, right above the elbow.
The bone broke and punctured the skin causing his muscle, artery, and tendons to be severed.  Luckily most of the nerves weren’t damaged so full function in his hand and wrist.  They put screws in the bone to put it back in place during that first surgery but they will go back in tomorrow morning and put in a metal plate to give the bone more stability and help his recovery.  For a while it was a very real possibility that he could have lost his arm. 

It’s been a pretty scary weekend for him, his parents, and all of the family.  PLEASE keep everyone in your prayers.  He has a LONG recovery ahead!

Tomorrow I will update some more about the good parts of our weekend and a movie review for Immortals!! :)

November Plans

There is so much going on this month that I’m so excited about!

First of all Adam’s band is auditioning at a new club tonight and I took off work tomorrow so that I can go and hang out with them.  They are playing 11pm to 1am so it will surely be a very late night!

Next, the 4th and final book to a series that I have been reading (Eragon) is coming out on Nov 8th!

The day of the 17th our District Office is having a potluck lunch for all the agents and staff.  I’ve signed up to make a Chocolate Pie & Coconut Pie. YUM!

The night of the 17th we are going to the midnight premier of Breaking Dawn!! I’ve never been to a midnight premier so I’m SUPER excited to be going with some friends, my mom, and sister.  I invited Adam but he very respectfully declined (as in HELL NO!). :)

Of course the 24th is Thanksgiving.  I’m not 100% sure about what our plans will be since a lot of our family dynamics have changed.  We have had family members move to another state, some passed away, etc.  So we are still planning the whats and whens. 

The 25th of course is Black Friday!! I’ve already started making my list of things that I will be looking for!! Ready to get my battle armor on!

We have a few new things coming up at work with policies and new programs that really aren’t that big of a deal but I always like a little change so I’m looking forward to those too!

So that is what I have planned SO FAR in the month of November!! This is definitely one of my favorite months!!

Halloween and Our Weekend

I hope everyone had a GREAT Halloween and got tons of candy!! We didn’t do anything this year for Halloween.  There were a lot of different reasons why but basically everyone just had a lot going on.  We were going to going to go to a Haunted House on Saturday with a friend but he had a stomach virus and I had a migraine (worst of my life) so that was cancelled.

Yesterday we did dress up for work. Here is me:
 
I didn’t really have a costume going on other than wearing black.  I just decided to let my inner goth/emo chick out for the day.  (My sister is the one that says I’m goth on the inside … whatever … we know I’m all rainbows and unicorns.) ;)

My co-worker was bat girl and her little boy, that came to work with her for the day, was Woody from Toy Story.  Our boss doesn’t like to dress up but she wears her Ghost vest. It was a pretty festive day.

We did get out Sunday and watch a couple of movies since I was mostly recovered from the migraine.  We saw Puss In Boots and In Time (Justin Timberlake movie).  Both were VERY VERY good.  Justin Timberlake has definitely improved his acting skills!! Remember when he did that Disney movie?! Horror!

I’m SO happy that my calendar has finally rolled over to November! There is SO much going on this month!! Tomorrow I’m going to run down everything that is going on and what I’m looking forward to the most!!
