2008-08-18T11:21:00.000-07:00

Hellllllllllllloooooo blog friends! Sorry I have not updated in a while. No worries..I haven't forgotten about you..just takin a little vacation from blogging that's all:) No hard feelings Im sure:) Anyhow, my blog is acting stupid and I don't even want to mess with it or get a new one....but I think the time has come that I must, I don't know what's up with it but sometimes it wont show the full blog (just the title) and writes my posts on the side ontop of ANOTHER post..it's retarded..so I think i'm gonna have to get me a new blog..don't worry I'll let ya in and tell ya the address and stuff. ANYHOW..so not much is going on just workin crazy hours..I hate getting up at three in the morning to go into work while everyone else is sleeping..like seriously who wants some chipper person in the morning walkin into their room and telling them they have to get their blood drawn..if someone did that to me i would throw my IV bag at them and tell them to come back a decent hour!!! Oh well I guess someone has to be the bad guy/girl!! So anyhow, this week i am spending alone in the house b/c my family left on Sat to go to TN for vacation...yeah I know..how fair is that!!?!?! Oh well, I'll be going down there on Fri right after work..which thankfully work is so light on fri i'm hoping to be outta there at seven or so and I'll be meeting my family and Scott, Sarah and Ethan..should be fun:) So the reason I don't get to go this whole week to TN is because......are you ready for this?!?!? IM GOING TO HONDURAS FOR TWO WEEKS IN OCT!!!!! I am so stinkin excited you don't even know..i was going to try and keep it a secret from Hannah but she is such a nosey little buger she found out..BUT she doesn't know who the other party is thats coming with me..it SURPRISE:) I cannot wait to get down there and see them! I miss them so much! Anyhow, so that's little exciting news!! So Sorry this post is a little long and a lot late but here I am:) i will try and be on and get a new blog and post some good pics..k? Love you all and hope you are enjoying the last little bit of summer:) PEACE!

Gone Fishin

2008-07-20T13:37:00.000-07:00

So this past Fri evening we went to this pond to fish..well on Thurs night..Nate and I decided we would go ahead and buy us some fishing stuff b/c we didn't have any..so we were at Walmart and there it was..a PINK fishing pole!!! I had to have the pink fishing pole..so I bought the pink fishing pole!! :) so we got our stuff and went fishing on fri..it was a lot of fun..EXCEPT the pink fishing pole was not! I had probably I don't even know how many yards of fishing line all tangled up!! It was crazy..but I did fish for a little bit..I didn't catch anything but I did have a fish bite the hook and worm off..but yeah it was interesting..I finally gave up and just chilled with Ethan, Mom and Sarah:) It was so fun and relaxing..between Nate and Scott, I think they caught like ten fish maybe?! yeah and Sarah I do believe caught one..WITH MY PINK FISHING POLE!! how fair is that?!?! haha..anyway it was fun!! So i hope you all are enjoying your summer..more to come later with Dayton Airshow pics!! :) Later!

Nate's Birthday Present

2008-07-20T13:16:00.000-07:00

So Im finally getting back on here and updating...So like I told you in my last post..I wanted to do someting special for nate..so I decided instead of buying him a game for his PSP or PS2, I decided I would take him to a comedy show downtown Cincinnati..we had so much fun!! If you know Nate..you know how halarious this kid is..so a comedy show is just so fitting for him:) Anyway, we had so much fun..and I was glad to take him with me b/c let me tell you something..without Nate..I would probably still be wandering around downtown, not knowing how to get home..its so great that now I have to rely on my 14 yr old brother to get me places..:) hahaha..no seriously he is growin up so fast..he's no longer the 8 yr old brat who always wanted his way..:) I am so proud of the young man he is becoming and am so thankful to have him for a brother! I love you Nate!!

Jus Here to Ramble...

2008-07-09T17:30:00.000-07:00

Okay so I was going to be a good fellow blogger and post some pictures and blog for you all...but all I could download was one picture..and it was taking FOREVER!! and it wasn't letting me download anymore pics togeter..and I was not about to try and download one picture at time..so blogg buddies you are just going to have to wait some other time for some pics...:( sorry!! its the thought that counts right?!?! Okay so not much is going on..like seriously..all i do anymore is work..I hardly have anytime to have fun anymore because of my crazy hours for work it seems like all I do during the week is work, sleep,hang out at the house and get up and do it again..pretty much ma life right now! not so interesting! Anyhow, so last week was my moms birthday, and you prolly read on her blog but we all went out to Newport on the Levee and then went to Don Poblos on the river..it was sooo much fun!! But I still wanted to have her a party so this weekend we are throwing her a party here at the house..which should be fun! Nate's Birtday is also Sat..so we are combining the party and having it for the both of them!! So since Nate's bday is on Sat..I wanted to do something cool for him..I didn't just want to get him the average like PS2 game or a new shirt I wanted to do something cool for him..so I have something special planned for him tomorrow....check back to see what I have planned for him..hopefully I can get pix, maybe a video on here for you all!! Until then..PEACE OUT!!

Extreme Makeover: Bag Eddition

2008-06-18T18:26:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone!! Okay so I should be sleeping right now cause I have to get up in like..oh about four hours! Yeah that's gonna be so much fun!! I have to get up that early for work..well i can actually start at four the latest but i want to clock in at 2:30..that way I get done early and if I want I can get overtime..blah,blah,blah! Anyhow, instead of getting precious sleep I decided I would post a little something before getting to be...this is kinda what I've been working on this evening..you see for work I have to carry all my lab supplies in a bag for when I go to my nursing homes..well my work provided me with a bag, but let's just say it's quite colorful..well let's just be honest it looks like a circus bag!! So I decided I would trade in my circus bag for a more chic-liz-a-fied lookin kind of bag...and here are the results...

How in the world am I going to get all this stuff

into this bag?!?!?!?!?
There ya have it..Just like that:)

So if you're wondering..which I'm guess you're probably not..but I'm going to tell you anyway..the reason I have two lab bags here is because the big one is for my homes that I go to every day and the little bag is for my run days when I have to run back out and get like one or two draws..I'll take the little one with me so I don't have to lug that huge thing just for one draw!! So there you have it..how boring was this blog?!?! Don't answer that..but hey you want a blog..Liz gives you a blog:) hahaha..okay..I HAVE to go to bed now, but I'll try and post something more interesting on here tom..now that I figured out how to put pics from my phone on here!! Okay everyone Peace out!! Love you all!! Good Night!

Short Story Long:)

2008-05-24T05:14:00.000-07:00

Hello my fellow bloggers!!! Wow it has been a while since I last posted!! I'm so sorry Hannah, but we don't have internet at our new house yet..and I've been kinda busy with work...yep that's what I've been up to lately...Work,sleep,work some more, go into the hospital,sleep,work some more! that's my life people!! So let me explaine...last fri I was going home so I could help my mom pack and on my way home I had a little pain in my lower abdomen, being me I just blew it off..well, as i got closer to home the pain got SOOOOO incredibly bad, so I thought I better call mom and let her know what is going on, so I call her and I am in so much pain..well by then I was getting close to my Church and she told me to stop by there and they can call the ambulance (I thought it was my appendix) so I finally make it to Aunt Phyliss' house and I go straight to her couch and lay down..and I just started bawling..It was the worst pain I had ever been in in my WHOLE entire life!!! So she called the ambluance and they finally get there and THEN they start asking me questions..I'm like JUST GET ME TO THE HOSPITAL!!!! I didn't say that but I'm sitting there in so much pain...so they fianally get me on the ambulance and the longest ride of my life!!! and again they are asking me stupid questions and asking me to sign papers and I am just ready to I dont' know what!!! But seriously, I just wanted to get to the hospital..I wanted the good stuff...I WANTED SOME PAIN MEDS!!! So after like 17 hours of riding in this ambulance..well okay maybe 20 or 30 min..we get to the hospital and they take me to my room...and my mom shows up and I am crying and in so much pain...and it seemed like forever for them to get things rollin..my mom was getting upset, my little brother was getting upset..he even went up to the Nurses station and said something (it's something my Dad would have done. Nate is just getting so big) Anyhow, so finally i get some pain medicine which only last about 15 min...my pastor and his wife came to see me and pray for me..well then i had to get a cat scan..and come to find out...KIDNEY STONE! It was so cool though because like after they prayed for me like a half hour later I was fine..I guess the stone had passed from my kidney or my kindney canal or whatever it was...but I was SOOOOO grateful!! We serve such an Awesome God!! SO that's my story...I told mom, if this is was having kids is like..don't expect any grandkids from me!!! I don't tolerate pain very well!! hahahaaa...anyways, I know this blog is REALLY long but I just thought I'de share my hospital experience with yoU:) Anyhow, I want to tell you about my job really quick..it is going so well! I really like and boy do i have some stories there...but another time:) Okay well enjoy you're long weekend!!! Ta Ta!! :)

I got a new job!!!

2008-04-29T11:41:00.001-07:00

So great news...I finally got a new job!!! As you can probably tell from the pix..I'm starting a new position for a Medical lab as a Phlebotomist!! I am so excited but even more nervous!!! I'm going to be needing so much Prayer!! On Mon. I have Orientation on then I will be starting on Tues. Please Please Pray for me..as many probably know, I went to school two or three years ago and Phlebotomy was part of my training at my school and I absolutely loved it..however this will be my first job actually as a Phlebotomist..I am so nervous, I have not stuck anyone in about two years, but we wont tell the patients that:) Anyhow, I just had to share this good news with everyone! So rejoice with me..but mostly Pray:)

Good News..Bad News

2008-04-29T07:38:00.001-07:00

So I have some good news..and of course some bad news..
As many of you have probably read on my moms blog or have heard..we are moving back to Cincinnati...well I have already moved but my whole family is moving as well!! I can't tell you how excited I am about this..I love Cincinnati!! Now don't get me wrong..I love the people here in Ironton at my Church..but I love the City! or where I'm living semi-suburb I guess you would call it:) Anyhow..so that is the good news!!!

The Bad news?!? well you probably guessed it..no pets allowed!! Are you kidding me?!? who wouldn't want her?!? So...I have to give her to Wills sister..till we get a different house!! I am so sad about this..I am going to miss Coco so much!! I know Esther will take such good care of her and treat her like her baby, but I still am going to miss her so much!! She will be going to Esther on Sat. I am going to be so sad:( I love our new house, but I just hate not being able to have Coco..go ahead think that's dumb..but I'm attached:( She's my widdle Puppy!!

My Brotha

2008-04-29T07:21:00.000-07:00

I wanted to post these pix of Nate..he is getting so big so fast!! I love this kid to pieces!! Now don't get me wrong..we have out disagreements and are arguments but Nate and I are so close..we're not just brother and sister but we're best friends!! He makes me laugh so much sometimes...I just love hanging out with him! Some brothers and sisters do not like the fact of taking their siblings with them to hang out with their friends, but with me I LOVE taking Nate! I would rather take him and the cool thing about it..so do my friends..they LOVE him! I can't tell you enough good things about my brother..I love em and love hangin out with him, even when he laughs at me when I fall into a puddle of mud while four-wheeling:) Story he'll have to tell you later:) Anyhow...so here are some cool pix of Nate..oh and just like my mom mentioned on her blog..girls..you have to go through older sisters to get to him!! NOT A CHANCE:) hahaha..j/k anyhow, so if you have a brother or sister or even both..go hug them and tell em how much you love them and appreciate them!!

Cook out

2008-04-29T07:00:00.000-07:00

2008-04-23T09:14:00.001-07:00

Hello Everyone! Wow has it been a while since I last posted!! O well I'm here now.. after Hannah putting a guilt trip on me and telling me to put more pics up..here I am!! So...here are a couple of pics..I was at Scott and Sarah's house one day and I was holding Ethan..I think the pics tell the story for me!! Yeah let's just say Ethan feels comfortable enough with me now..he doesn't feel the need to ask when he wants to puke on his Aunt Lizzie!! Oh well..it comes with the territory of being an Aunt I guess.. and I love it! (being an Aunt that is, not being puked on) :)
Well anyways, I hope you all are enjoying the nice weather! and to all you Aunts out there..leave your busy schedule for a while and enjoy being puked on by your neices/nephews..you won't regret it:) haha..

It was lots of fun! I love my friends!! so Terra and Carly spent the night and the next morning Terra was supposed to go and spread straw with her dad, and Carly and I went along...now let me take a little pause here and explain something, I grew up a "city girl" at heart and proud of it ,spreading straw was something I had never done before, but I have proof...I did it!! and it was actully kind of fun!! So anyway, this post might be a "little" old but there ya have it!! ENJOY!!!!

Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary!!

2007-07-29T19:47:00.000-07:00

Hello, my blogger friends...It has been a while since I have last posted..so ..here I am!!! So this particular post is going to be "dedicated" to my Grandparents who just celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary!!! Yeah..I said it FIFTY years!!! As was mentioned at their Anniversary party...their marriage has lasted almost through 10 Presidents...Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, G.H.W. Bush, Clinton and G.W.Bush!!! Wow!!! That's a lot of Presidents!! Anyhow, I am so thankful they are my grandparents!! They have shown us (their family) the Holiness way and have been there for each and every one of us...and TRUST ME when I say this....there is ALOT of us!!! So to celebrate this HUGE occasion...they decided to rent a community center and invite their Family...it turned out SO good!! I know Grandma and Grandpa really appreciated it and had a really good time!!! We decorated the hall, had someone make the cake (which by the way was really beautiful), the food was catered, A song was written for them, slide show was shown, some people spoke...it just turned out really well!!! Congratulations, Mimi and Baba!!! I love you!!!
Okay, here are some pics of the party.....

This is grandma's Sister....HI-LARIOUS!!!!

Happy Birthday,Mom!

2007-07-01T04:34:00.001-07:00

So get ready for a lot of "Happy birthdays" this month, I don't know why, but everyone in this family decides they want to be born in July:) not really, but there are quite a few birthdays this month...One being one of my very best friends...my MOM!! Happy birthday,Mom!! Yes People, my mother turns FORTY..something TODAY!!! :) I am so blessed to have her for a mom...I know I've probably said this before but...SHE IS THE BEST MOM!! I honestly couldn't ask for a better Mom. You would only have to meet my mom once to know what a wonderful person she is! She can make you laugh, she can make you smile, she lends a shoulder and a hug, if your sad!! I don't know what to write, because I can't put into words how I feel about my mom. Mom, I love you So much!! I hope you have a wonderful birthday today!!

Happy Birthday Joseph

2007-07-01T04:13:00.000-07:00

I know this post is coming a day late but.....HAPPY Birthday,Bugzie!!! I cannot believe that one year ago our lives were sooo greatly enriched by this beautiful life God has blessed us with!! I rem. that day just like it was yesterday...waking up so excited..it was "baby Day"...going to the Hospital, waiting...and then we were told that we could see him...I rem. the first time I laid eyes on him, he was PERFECT. Then there was that first horrible shot..OH yes...Jeanne crying on one side..Sarah crying on the other. Phone calls being made to family members, Eric video taping, sarah taping, me taping and taking pictures (which by the way, it's a wonder Joseph even has his eyesight, all he saw for three days were flashes of the camera)Anyhow, It was one of the best days in my life! He has brought soo much joy to our family!!! I love that little guy SOO much...He is just the cutest nephew in the WHOLE WIDE world!!! JZ, Aunt Lizzie loves and misses you more than you will ever know!! I hope you had a wonderful birthday! I love you widdle guy!

2007-05-25T15:08:00.001-07:00

Okay, so the month of May we have the opportunity to let our Mother's know how much we love and appreciate them!! In my opinion..I have the best mother anyone could ask for!! She's loving, compassionate, and always know exactly what I'm going through...she has been there for me through thick and thin!!! I truly hope she knows how much I love her and appreciate everything she does!! God knew exactly what kind of mother I needed, and He gave me the best! And for that I'm grateful!! She is one of my very best friends!! I love you Mom!!

Anyhow, so the day before Mother's Day, my mom decided to come down to Cinci to spend Mother's Day with my Grandma....So here are some pics...

Mimi opening her gift from my mom!!
Nate wrote a letter to my mom! It was so sweet!

The reason my grandpa is in his "hospital" bed is b/c he was at a
Rehab place, cause he had just had hip replacement.

Eric, Hannah and JZ had these beautiful flowers sent to my mom's work!

Beautiful!

Thought so:) So anyhow, this Mon. my Mom didn't have to work, Will was home, I was home, Nate was home (after school) and we wanted to have a little Cookout...so we did! It was really nice, the weather was good, the food was delish, it was just fun to be able to hang out with my family and have a nice cookout...Here are some pics of our little grill out....it was cool...but we did have a few accidents...take a look...

Hahaha....so okay it was a little staged, but it was sooo funny!!! It was Nate's idea to do these little snapshots....I tell ya...this kid is HIGH-LA-RIOUS at times! he IS...he is just soooo funny, he gets me laughing sometimes!!! I love that kid!! Cracks me up!!!

Okay so here are some more "serious" Pics...I thought they're pretty cool! ENJOY...

This weekend we celebrated Thanksgiving at our house...Scott and Sarah came from Cinci and stayed with us. They arrived here on Fri evening/night and we just kinda stayed up and talked and then went to bed. On Sat. my mom got up and started our Thanksgiving dinner...the rest of us just kinda slept in and lounged for awhile, then we started getting ready and my mom went and picked up my step sister and so she was able to spend most of the day with us...anyhow, while we set the table and they were getting dinner ready Scott and Nate played the Ps2. So it was nice to just be able to spend some time with my family, except we really missed Hannah, Eric and Joseph! I really wished they could've been here...we have such a blast when we are all together, but I know they are happy and are doing God's will!! But anyways, then after dinner Will asked Viletta (my step sister) to play the piano, so....well, okay, if you know me and Sarah you know that we love to sing (poeple may not love to hear us sing, but it doesn't keep us from trying) so we joined in and TRIED to sing while Viletta played the piano...it was so much fun! Well, anyhow, I had to leave b/c I had Christmas practice at my Church. After practice we came home and they had put up the Christmas tree and we decorated it and Sarah and mom decorated the living room and dining room...it looks so cute! So all in all...it was really fun...dinner was delish, Christmas music, singing, talking, just spending time together was great!! I am so thankful for my family, I am so blessed to have them!!! They are the best and I couldn't ask for a better family! I love you guys!!! So....don't fret if the turkey isn't perfect, don't be sad if the mashed potatoes are lumpy, don't worry if dinner is not served on time....b/c at the end of the day, it's not about how everything turned out, but about who you got to spend your day with...people you love and who love you in return!! So...ENJOY!! Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!!!

Soooo...I'm just going to ramble about....nothing!! So pretty much, we've been trying to get things done, so we can put the house on the market! fixing, washing, cleaning, replacing...Yeah it's loads of fun! So If you ever get bored or just want to have some good CLEAN fun..just head over out to the good Country of Ironton and we'll put you to work:) Also, if you're looking for a house in this area...please feel free to come and buy it from us:) hhahaa...N E WAYS.....

So this fri. we are having a fall party for our Jr. Church..the kids are supposed to dress up as Bible characters! so that should be really interesting...I think I might dress up as an angel, I don't know maybe not! Nate wants to dress up as Lazzarus (once again i don't know how to spell this word?)!!! It should be interesting! hopefully I can get some pics on here (if I can, no promises) :) Let's see....also, are Christmas program is coming up...so i'm pretty much going to be busy every Saturday from here till the program which is in Dec. (of course)!! Anyhow, so yeah that's pretty much my life in a nutshell...so now that I've finally got on here and posted something, I must cut this short and end this posting:) I hope every one of you are loving the beautiful fall weather, and ejoying the company of someone special!!! Until next time...Peace and love to you all:) Lizzie

I MISS BUGZ-A-BOO!!!!!!!

Family Fun...

2006-09-30T16:54:00.000-07:00

So here I am again!!! So Hannah and Eric and Bugs-a-boo are here! It has been so good having them here, we have had such a good time just spending time together! Sarah is here too and it is so good to have all of us here! Just like the good ol' days! I love my brother-in-laws...but I blame them for taking them away from us :) hahaaa. J/K but I really do miss my sisters very much, and miss having them home all the time. We are all scatered across the globe now, and so I cherish the times we get to spend together, especially with Hannah and Eric leaving on tues. I just don't know what I'm going to do with myself when they leave!!! So I'm just not going to concentrate on that right now!!

So anyhow, like I said my bugzie is here now, and he just gets cuter and cuter everyday!! I love his widdle smile and his big eyes!! Tomorrow is his dedication for here in Ohio! Most of my mom's family are coming in from Cinci and Ky. Also Wes Cressman came in ....so yeah we're gonna have quite a full Church tomorrow and then after the dedication my mom is making an arabic meal for everyone!!! What can I say.....my widdle guy is important!

Well, I must keep this short, but keep watching.....ya never know, when I'll post next:) Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow!! Love ya! Lizzie

Guess who's back?!?

2006-09-21T12:55:00.000-07:00

So it's been a while since I've last posted....like 10 days....so, it's time to post again! I know how my readers get anxious and don't know what to do with themselves when I don't give them a good dose of my writing:) so here I am! So anyways, Hannah and Eric and of course the cutest baby on earth, my widdle Joey, are coming this Sunday and are going to spend some time with us before they have to go back to Hondorus ( I will never learn how to spell that word) anyway, so I'm thinking it's going to be a pretty rough week....there will be undoubtedly be a LOT of crying by my mom, which will get Sarah started which in return will get me started...so yeah it should be fun!! No, really I don't know what I'm going to do when they leave..I'm going to miss them so much! It makes a little harder getting a widdle nephew and then taken away to a far away country, but I know that is where the Lord wants them, so that's where they should be!! Anyhow, I can't wait to see my widdle guy! From the pictures that I've seen he's grown and he just as adorable as ever! So I'm excited!! Anyway, I'm going to get off of here...but I hope you guys have a wonderful week! Love ya! Lizzie

"May We Never Forget!"

2006-09-11T20:15:00.000-07:00

I remember five years ago today, I was sitting in class oblivious to what was going on or the danger my country was in. I remember my sister and Sister Zechman coming to the door and asking to speak to me, so I went outside and they told me that the twin towers were hit. My mom was in Jordan. At the time, I didn't realize the danger or seriousness of what just happened, in fact I don't think I even knew what the twin towers were. But that day, many people were lost. Now that it has been five years since the attack, I realize now more than ever what a powerful tragedy that day was....many children lost theirs fathers, mothers never got to see their children again, firefighters never made it back to their families. The grief that was felt as a country was terrible, but the grief of a family over their lost loved ones, I'm sure was so much worse! We look back on that day with sadness, but also with great pride knowing we had people, who cared enough about us and about their country so much that they were willing to risk their lives for others, to me...they are heros! May we never forget the people that died that day, may we come together as a country, one nation under GOD and stand up for our Country...The good ol' USA!!!

92 degrees......and rising<

2006-08-07T14:32:00.000-07:00

Okay, I just checked a little while ago, and it was 92 degrees in this house!! 92 degrees!!!!!!!!!isn't that like the temperature of the sun or something?!? okay, okay maybe not, but it's still pretty hot! Anyway, so the air condition guy came to check it out yesterday and told us our motor for the air conditioner was done for, so...we had to wait till today to get the air conditioner fixed...fun! It has been miserable! It felt like the sun had taken a vacation and came and stayed with none other than the Jarasat/Tumbleson residence!! So we are thankful that our pool is up and we got in to cool off today! Anyway, don't feel too bad the air conditioner is now fixed and our house should be back to freezing condition in no time!

Well tonight Hannah and Eric are coming down, I can't wait to see my widdle guy! I see pics and he's getting so big!! If I can ever figure out how to put some pics of him, I will! But until then you'll just have to check his pics out at Eric's and Nana Jeanne's blog:) Well anyway, I hope all is going well for everyone! Love ya all! Lizzie

Ever Wonder Why Someone is Brought Into Your Life?

2006-07-08T22:25:00.000-07:00

I didn't write this, I read it somewhere on someone's myspace...hope you all enjoy it....

FRIENDS----People come into your life for a Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime. When you know which one it is for a person, you will know what to do for that person.--- When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a Godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered, and now it is time to move on.--- Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.--- LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons: things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Thank your friends for being a part of your life!

My Little Sabrino is Here!

2006-07-01T12:24:00.000-07:00

Well, I just want to take this oportunity and say.... I AM AN AUNT!!! I am so excited and proud to be the aunt of the most gorgeous, beautiful, amazing, wonderful, handsome, precious little baby Joseph Zaid Kuhns!!! Guys, I cannot describe to you how beautiful and precious this baby is! He is the most beautiful baby in the whole wide world!! Oh I love em so much already!!

Little Joseph Zaid was born yesterday, June 30th at 10:40 am, at Evangelical Hospital! He weighed 7 lbs. 9 oz. and is 18 inches long!! His proud parents are Eric and Hannah Kuhns (I'm sure everyone already knew that)! Anyhow, we are all so proud and so excited to have this new addition to the family! We are all fighting over him already! He is going to be so spoiled! :)

I'll go ahead and tell you a little about what went on yesterday....like I said he was born at 10:40 am and right after he was born, they brought him up to the 3rd floor to get him cleaned up, and we got to see him get measured, weighed, get cleaned up, it was all so exciting and Eric of course was in there with him taping just about every move, while poor Hannah was getting sewn back up and put in recovery! But it was just so exciting standing there behind the window, watching this beautiful baby! I do have to tell you about his first shot...:( I wish I could let you all see the look on Joey's face when she first stuck the needle in...I'm not kidding you guys, it was like he was just in a state of shock and pain, I mean the look on his face was just like heartbreaking and then he started bawling!! and here I am, I have my sister Sarah on one side who is also bawling her eyes out and then I have Eric's mom on the other side bawling HER eyes out! It was just an amazing day!! There were people calling, and of couse eric was calling people and my mom was talking to people, and everyone was just so excited to have Joey finally arrive! Very very exciting!

Also, I do have to mention about this, it worked out to wear Brenda Pardoe (who is a nursing student and is working on the maternity floor) she got to be there for everything and might I add she did a wonderful job of taking care of Joey and being in there with Hannah! She also was able to take my camera in the OR and take some pics for me! It was really good to have her there! So Brenda if your reading this, thanks for all your help!! It was greatly appreciated! You are going to make a great nurse!!

Okay, so I want to mention a little about my sister Hannah...she has been the bravest trouper! As much as she went through and the surgery she went through, you never heard her complain! She was just abosolutely amazing!! She is going to be such a good mother and am so proud of her! I love her so much! I couln't ask for better siblings in the whole wide world!!!

Anyway, I want to thank everyone who prayed for Hannah and Eric and the baby! and also for everyone who was able to make it out to the hospital to visit! I'm sure it means a lot to Hannah and Eric knowing they are surrounded by people who love and care about them!

But before I get off of here, most improtantly, I want to thank God for giving us this beautiful gift! I want to thank Him that Baby Joey is healthy and that Hannah made it through the surgery okay and that she is recovering beautifully!! God is so good to us, even when we don't deserve it! Thank you! I love you, Lord!

The Fun Continues..

2006-06-28T11:28:00.001-07:00

So I mention in my last post about what all has been going on this month...so now I am in Pa, with my little brother, staying with Hannah and Eric in a cabin! Now when I say cabin, don't imagine a large log cabin with a nice hot tub and king size bed! no,no, no...this is a small cabin intended for no more than two people...yeah fun:) no, really it hasn't been that bad!! So yeah, we're up here for the countdown till Hannah has the baby! we are all waiting patiently and anxiously!! My mom and my sister are coming up tonight, so that's exciting! Except I was hoping to be able to see my puppy, but school policy is "no dogs on lower campus"...yeah talk about ruining my day!! so I guess it's another week till i get to see her again! Now call me crazy, but I really do miss her!! Okay, Okay, I'll quit this crazy talk and tell you a little about what's been goin on up here.....

So last weekend, my good friend Karen came and stayed with me the weekend, which was a good time to catch up:) I talk to her on the phone, but I haven't seen her since like last year so yeah it was good to see her again!!

Also, last night we had a get together at Renea's cabin, there was like eight people there, we had pizza and played some games! It was so much fun!! Now, if you ever play a game with me, you can pretty much bet on it that I'm going to probably cheat...especially if Hannah is involved in the game...I don't know, I guess she just brings it out in me:) No, really it was a lot of fun!! Oh, oh ...I do have to mention, we did win!! Hahahahaaaaa.....the guys loved it I'm sure! they are so competitive to a fault...good times, good times!!

Well before I go, if you guys think about it, please pray that Hannah will have a safe delivery and the baby will be healthy!! We would really appreciate your prayers!!
So as I wait for my little sabrino to get here.....I hope that all of you are having a wonderful summer! aight I'm out! lata gata! Love Lizzie

Fun weekend!

2006-06-28T11:08:00.000-07:00

Wow, people.....it has been like a month since I last posted!!! So, there is just one question buring on my mind.. Did you miss me?!!? okay so don't answer that! :) Anyhow, June has been very busy for me! It has been so good to have Hannah and Eric back home! We had Hannah a baby shower this month and it turned out really nice! we had a good time:) We really hope this baby is a boy, because if it's not, she is going to be wearing boyz clothes for the next year:)

So, let's see, what else happened.....oh yeah, then we attended our weekend family reunion. That too was very nice, we all had a good time! The theme for this years reunion was fifties. It was alot of fun, there were people there who dressed the part, which was kinda neat. My cousin dressed up as Lucy (off of the "I Love Lucy" show) it was really cute! Now as much as I know how good I would have looked in a poodle skirt, I opted not to dress up...I know, so I'm boring, so sew me:) hahaa!! I aslo got to go waverunning, which I have not done in ages and it felt great!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! and I rode the pontune (I have no idea how to spell that)!! and then on Sunday, we went to my cousins Church to hear him preach his first sermon as the pastor of that Church, which was really cool, he did a really good job!! He preached about how we gain access to the Father (it was Father's Day) so yeah it was really good!! So all in all it was a very good weekend!!

2006-05-26T00:48:00.000-07:00

I'm here! Let's get this party started!!! Well, It's been a while since I last posted, so not much has been going on....tonight (well technically last night) we had our electricity go out! let me tell ya, it wasn't that fun! I was on the computer and bam the lights go out! my mom and nate were in the other room. So anyways, I had to go get the flashlight which was in the kitchen, but the bad thing was we had tons of candles, but no lighter!! I know, fun!! but thankfully, I had asked Nate to ask Will to bring home a lighter, so when he got home a little later we were able to light some candles ! so okay here's the funny part, I got the brilliant idea to make a grilled cheese sandwich, yeah I don't recommen it if you don't have a stove! Here I am with little skillet thing whatever you call it, and a piece of bread and some cheese on it, I'm holding it over a candle!! SMART I KNOW!! to make a long story short, all I got from that whole ordeal was a very black bottom part of a frying pan and a slightly toasted piece of bread!! so here's another funny part, as I'm rinsing the pan, my little brother walks over to me and was like "yeah that didn't work either" He had held the bread directly over the candle!!!! I tell ya something I come from a long line of Scholars!! and the brillance has undoubltedly been passed on to me and my little brother!! but anyways, that was part of my interesting night!anyway, so we spent the rest of the night on candle light! It would have been awesome if a hot guy who was stranded came and knocked on our door, who needed shelter, it would have made it a little more romantic! Oh well, I guess I'll wish for that on my birthday!! haahaaa...not really! ya know what?!?! I don't like thunderstorms, some people love them, but I really don't! I mean I guess I kinda used to like them and the whole electricity going out, but now...I guess I just kinda find them depressing!! Man! am I getting old or what?!?! Anyway, as you can tell the electricity finally came on! it was about 2:30 am or so, but I am so thankful it finally came on!! Anyhow, hope all of your lives are going well for you! Well, I'm gonna get off of here.....Don't be sad, I'll be back!! Love ya all! Lizzie

This One's for the Girls!

2006-05-13T12:42:00.000-07:00

Okay this is all the single girls out there who are wondering......I found this somewhere and I thought it was really neat, I just had to share it! I hope you girls enjoy it too! and remember....you are beautiful!

"Girls are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree.The boys dont want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples at the top think-something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who's brave enough toclimb all the way to the top of the tree."

So last night I was talking to my friend Karen, she is currently going to Hobe Sound and is planning on going there next year as well, and she wants me to come to school down there when I get back from Hondorous. This has something that I had thought about in the past, but have not really given it much thought lately, it's something that requires a lot of prayer, so I don't know, I guess we'll see! Speaking of Hondorous, how in the world am I going to be able to leave my puppy Coco at home?!?! I am going to have like Coco withdraws! ya know what?!? I'm going to sneak her to Hondorous...I mean what can Eric do? When she's there, he's not gonna be like "well you have to send her back:)" C'mon...have a little sympathy! my puppy needs me! who's gonna rush her off to the animal ER when she gets attacked by the neighbors dog...let's not kid ourselves..she' adorable, but she's not smartest of the litter, if ya know what I mean...she is bound to go back there!!! hahaaa! I'm just kidding, she's smart! See now i feel bad cause i said that about her! haha, I know, I know, i should get a life! Well, anyhow, I hope this blog finds you all in good condition and lovin life! Come back soon and check out what goes on in my life...hahaahaa.....lol..... that's some funny stuff! aight I'm out! love ya all, Lizzie

Okay..Okay.. you can stop holding your breath now...I'm back and I'm here to blog!! You're excited, I can tell:) Anyhow, I think today's blogging is going to be kinda short, I have things to do, people to see.....who am I kidding? I have nothing to do, and no one to see!:) J/k
Anyhow, so not too much has been happening, ya know the more and more I blog the more I realize my life is extremely boring! I mean c'mon it's pretty bad when you can't find anything to write about besides your dog getting attacked by the neighbor's dog! Haha..c'mon, I know you at least smiled at that one! Okay, I know you're wanting to find out more about Coco and how she's doing, well you can sleep better tonight knowing that she is doing okay, she's playing and being herself, although she has like this big knot on like the side of her stomach that I need to take her and get checked out!
Anyways, I hate to cut this short today, but I have writer's block, actually I have what they call boring life, but hey, who's complaining?!? No not really, my life is not THAT boring, last week I went to....are you ready for this... Wal-mart, not just any Wal-mart but Super Walmart! So don't feel sorry for me!! :) hahaa...J/k people! So anyways, I'm gonna wrap this up, I need to get off of here......So leave me a comment, let me know some one out there is reading my posts!! I hope you guys have a wonderful day today filled with laughter and joy!! Love ya!

"His mercy endureth forever"

2006-04-12T20:51:00.000-07:00

So for those of you who don't know, my cousin Mark was in a really bad 4-wheeling accident on Sunday! He is home from the Hospital now.He was fortunate that it wasn't fatal, but it was a pretty bad accident. The 4-wheeler pretty much landed on his face, it knocked out a lot of his teeth, and they said his gums were like hamburger, and you could like put to fingers in his chin! Thank the Lord that it didn't take his life or the life of the girl that was with him, "For His mercy endureth forever"! God is so good to us! Ya know, here's a little something to maybe think about, if you got a phone call today saying that one of your relatives were in a car accident and didn't make it, and they went out into eternity without God, would you feel guilty about not spending enough time on your knees for that loved one? would you feel satisfied with the time you spent fasting for that person? would you feel at peace knowing you did all you could do to win that person to God? or would you feel guilty knowing that you had failed to bring that person to God in prayer perhaps that day or even that week!?! God help ME to pray and fast for my loved ones and to do my part!

Welcome to Adventures in Ironton!

Okay..so I'm back here to blog!! You're excited, I can tell! Anyhow, so let's see...what's new...Well we just came through Camp Meeting, I have to say that I was in some of the best services I have ever been in!! God was there, and it was so good!! God also helped in the Children's services, I believe this was the first year they had Children's services for Camp, and the Lord really helped! It was also good to have my Uncle Dave and my two cousins come and join us for service on Sunday evening, I know the Lord is going save them! We just have to keep our end and pray for them! Some good news though, my two younger cousins, Bethany and Nick got saved on Sat.! Praise the Lord!! Please pray for them, if they come to your mind, Beth is 13 and Nick is 9.

Well, I guess I'll tell you about my puppy Coco...she is a bichon, she is so adorable! I just love her, she's so cute!! Well, let me tell you, my family aren't or weren't so thrilled with her, that is until last Sunday...okay let me start at the beginning....Sunday morning, I had asked my little cousin to put Coco out on the cable, well, I don't think he put it on her right, b/c a little while later, my brother went outside and our neighber girl brought Coco on her cable leash, and Nate brought her in, and she was SOAKED!!! Well, we were getting ready to go to Church so we just put her in the bathroom and left, well later that afternoon we came back home, and I went to pick Coco up and she started to kinda cry, and she had a big bruise on her stomach, and she was in pain! Coco, when given the opportunity, likes to go over to the neighbors house and pester the older dogs! well they don't enjoy it as much as she does, and we think that she went over there and they got ahold of her and hurt her(that is what we think, but we're not positive)! Well anyhow, I told my mom that I was going to take her to the vet, to make a long story short, she called an animal ER place, and got directions and told them that I would probably be right over, but instead we went on to Church and took Coco with us, and after Church we headed on our way to go to the Animal ER! But on the way, my mom said a prayer for Coco..now some people might think that is funny or crazy but you know, if God cares about when the sparos fall, I know he cares about our pets. Anyhow, so we took her to the ER and they took an X-ray and everything looked good, and she didn't have internal bleeding! So thank the Lord for that!! So the Vet gave her some pain medicine and she is doing so much better!!

Anyhow, I know how much you enjoyed this little story! stay tuned for more to come:) Love you guys!! Lizzie

Enjoy Life!

Well, here I am again...not really sure what to talk about, for those of you who may not know...I have no life! On the other hand, I have two sisters who have a good exciting life...As many of you know, Hannah and Eric are now in Hondurous, she called us the other day and told us that they are doing okay. She said that the living accomadations were livable and the food was questionable...they think Eric ate stomache! YUCK!!! Now when I say I want an exciting life, eating stomache is NOT one of the things I would like to accomplish! :) But anyhow, on with my story, also if you have read Hannah and Eric's blog they also tell about how the first day they arrived they saw the Vice-President of Hondurous, he was on the same flight and I blieve that he sat only a few rows away from them, and that was only their first day there.. i'm sure there are more exciting things to come for them! As for my sister Sarah, her and Scott are in New York City, working with the Keizers, I'm sure they will have some stories to tell when they get back! So while I'm here in my small little town that probably not too many have heard of, my sisters are enjoying themselves in Hondurous and New York City, so on that note....I have NOTHING to say! So I hope this blog finds you doing something today that you really enjoy..so put away the text books, shut the computer off, take the phone off the hook and go spend sometime with someone you love and enjoy today!! With lots of love, Lizzie

Hey guys! It's me again...I'm not so sure how exactly this thing works, I tried posting something earlier but it doesn't bring it up on my main page, you like have to go to the March section and click on it..I don't know...it's weird! Anyhow, not much is going on today, except cleaning, cleaning and some more cleaning! I can't describe to you how excited that makes me feel! NOT!!! Anyhow, maybe I'll be back on later tonight and post something more exciting...never know...keep holding your breath till next time:) Peace!! Lizzie

sleeping? Not me:)

2006-03-23T02:36:00.000-08:00

Hey guys!
I am sitting at my desk here trying to think of something to write, I never know what to write on here, but I guess I'll eventually get the hang of this:) Anyway, I'm sitting here at my computer and it's almost two in the morning! Boy am I going to have fun trying to get up tomorrow, or should I say today:) Anyhow, not much has been going on lately. Let's see...last fri. my mom and I graduated with honors (I guess it's okay to brag a little) :) from NIT, we graduated from the Medical Business and Clinical Specialist program, it took a little over a year to get it completed, but it was worth it:) So if anyone wants to donate blood or get a shot I would be more than happy to help you out!! :) haha
Let's see..also, Hannah and Eric will be leaving out of Fl today and heading down to Hondurous..I hope and pray that everything will go smoothly for them! They haven't even left yet, but I can't wait for them to get back! And I can't wait till that baby gets here! I am so excited to be an Aunt! I am going to be the coolest aunt ever! :) haha! The baby is going to be so spoiled, I'm going to be broke by the time the baby actually gets here:)
Anyways, I'll quit rambling:) I'll try and post on here more often! hope everyone is doing well! Love you all!!! Lizzie

P.S. I'll try and get some pictures on my blog later!
