IOWA or Bust
I am heading home this weekend. It will be so nice to see all my family and friends. I am so looking forward to being back home. This is probably the longest I have been away from home in a while. I will be able to see all my nieces and nephews! I miss them so much! I will need to do a lot of brain washing, so they don't forget I am their favorite Aunt! I do miss Clarinda...in a unique way!

Good Day
Today I started a different job. The hospice job was not a good fit for me. I loved the work, but the adminstration was not a good fit! I signed up to work for PRN Social Work Agency. This agency places social workers in differenct agencies for assignments. Today I started at North Kansas City Hospital. I am doing discharge planning. My assignment is for 2-3 months. I figured this would be a good way to "test" agencies to see if it is a good fit for me!
Also, I have decided to sell Creative Memories. I plan to be offically signed up in March. I will provide more details as I get them.
Much Love~

Great Weekend
Our Valentine weekend was great. It actually started Thursday. Scott had the day off for Lincoln's b-day. We spent the afternoon making a romantic supper together. Then Friday night we rented some movies and snuggled together. Saturday my parents came to visit. We had such a great time. We went to Red Lobster for an early supper. We then did some shopping. Sunday we went to church and then my parents left mid-afternoon. It was so great to spend Valentine's weekend with the ones we love!
Feb. 18, 2009 will be 3 years since my first date with Scott. Wow, time flys when you have fun!
I love you Scott!!!!!!!!!!

I have become addicted to Facebook. I was tagged to do this on Face book. So here it is.
25 Things about me...
Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things about yourself.
At the end, you choose 25 people to be tagged.
You have to tag the person who tagged you.
If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.
1. I met my wonderful husband through the internet. We were both on eHarmony and got matched. I recommend this website to anyone. God answers prayers and blessed me by joining us together. I feel like I am a walking commercial. I have looked into being on one of their commercials. You have to submit a video. We entered their love story event several years ago and did not win. At the time we were only dating, so I think we should re-enter now that we are married.
2. I know I have OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). I think it drives my husband nuts at times. He is too nice to say that it does! Lately my eye for detail/perfection has helped as we do home makeovers.
3. We just finished redoing our master bedroom! I love it! As they say on HGTV, your room should be a getaway, soothing...and we finally now have it. I don't cringe when I walk into the room.
4. I miss my nieces and nephews. I moved to the KC area May 2007. My nieces and nephews are my life. It has been over a month since I have seen them. I am always afraid they will forget about me. So I call them a lot! I love to spoil them!!! I also brain wash them to say I am their favorite aunt in the whole wide world!
5. I went to a Lutheran Day School from preschool through the 8th grade. I loved it. There were only about 12 in my class all those years. We grew to become very close and knew everything about each other which was good and bad at times.
6. I miss living on a farm. I enjoyed being able to explore and be away from things.
7. I love being with people, especially my family and friends. I also love the elderly populations. They are so wise, funny, loveable and special to me!
8. Scott and I had our first date in St. Joseph, MO. We went to the Pony Express Museum and to the Jesse James Museum. Love was in the air that day! We continued to meet in St. Joe for several dates and then started the long distance relationship!
9. I am a Diet Coke freak! I am trying to cut back to one or two Diet Cokes a day and/or substituting Caffeine Free Diet Coke.
10. I love pictures and I love to scrapbook! This is my favorite hobby/obsession/cult! I love Creative Memories products! My fabulous husband supports me and this makes it even more fun to do!
11. I also like to crochet. I have made several scarves this year for myself. I have made blankets for all my nieces and nephews! I always seem to wait until the last minute to get them done for a holiday or birthday. I am hoping to start earlier this year!
12. I will be 30 years old this year! B-day 29 was a hard one for me, so hopefully 30 will go smoother.
13. This year we celebrated my birthday and Hannah's (Scott's niece's birthday) together at Tybee Island, GA. It was so much fun! Hannah loved the beach. We rented a beach house for all 12 of us!
14. I belong to a wonderful church, Bethany Lutheran, in Overland Park, KS. Being from a smaller church I always wanted to attend a church with lots of activities and a place for my faith to grow!
15. Scott and I belong to the volley ball league at our church. We play every Tuesday night! We don't win too many, but we have a blast while we are there.
16. I miss my co-workers from Waubonsie Mental Health Center. It was such a wonderful place to work. But times change and we must go on. But this was a great first job for me. I grew and learned so much while working there. I also had amazing supervisors! (Those are hard to find sometimes!)
17. I am slowly becoming a Chief's fan, mainly because I live in the KC area. Right now all the focus is on the new coach and general manager! I hope they can improve their team! Go Chiefs!
18. I love to bake. As they say the best ways to a man’s heart this through his stomach! I practice this rule a lot! I had great teachers, my mom and grandmother! My grandmother makes the best angel food cakes in the world!
19. Scott and I have been going to our local YMCA. We try to go at 5:30 a.m. to start our day off right! We took a Core Training class on Wed. It was 20 minutes long and we hurt so bad. But we are going to try to do this class every Mon. and Wed. from 5:30-5:50! (Wish us luck)
20. I am addicted to Biggest Loser, Desperate House Wives, ER and Grey's Anatomy.
21. We love DVR. It is the best invention ever!
22. Scott and I went on our honeymoon to Walt Disney World for 3 days and on a Disney Cruise for 4 days. Loved every minute of it. I am a huge Disney fan, but never had been. It was my dream honeymoon...both of my men with me (Mickey Mouse and Scott)! The cruise was definitely the highlight! Neither of us had been on a cruise!
23. I love my family so much! I have such great support from not only my family, but also Scott's. I love my in-laws. I always heard horror stories about the in-laws or as my dad says out-laws. My grandparents are also so special. They are both in their 80's and still live on their farm and are able to keep up with the yard work, house work and they still have the biggest garden as ever. Each year they are going to cut back, but they don't. They love giving their home grown food away! I enjoy getting it too!
24. I do enjoy living in the city for convenience. We have a grocery store within a mile from our home. Wal-mart is 3 miles and a mall is 10 miles from my home. Growing up on the farm 10 miles from town you did the one stop shop while in town. If you forgot something you did without or call a neighbor. I know we called my grandmother that lived 5 miles from us to borrow items from! I hate rush hour traffic. Back home rush hour traffic did not interfere with anything. The only thing to slow you down is farm machinery on the road or that someone’s cows got out!
25. The best thing in my life is God! He is always there for me no matter what. He sent his only Son to die for us! What a priceless gift!
