Well, yes I did get married to the Love of my Life. No planning or anything. Although we had talked about marriage for awhile, we just got up Monday morning and said "Let's get married." And so we did and are very happy. Surprised just about everyone but that's O.K. Wyn, Kerry's brother went along for the ride, and I was very happy to have him along. Kerry and I still reside in Evensville with our "children" MoJo, Mia and Laurel Snow ( aka Kitty Lou) . Kerry works at Advance Auto Parts in Dayton, and I work for two Home Health companies as a Nursing Assistant/Direct Support Staff. Needless to say our lives are very hectic (but happy). Hiking and all that stuff seems to be sort of a thing of the past right now, but come Spring we'll be back in action (hopefully!) We are also planning a Native American spiritual ceremony sometime in the future.

Catching Up
Well, lot's been happening. I did pass my State exam with flying colors.
I made an 88% on written exam, and (this is unbelievable to me!)
only missed one on my Skills Test (I didn't transport dirty linen correctly)
I was so afraid I had failed that I would not go online to check my scores.
Kerry had to do it for me!
I now have a job working at a Skills & Rehab Training Facility working with developmentally handicapped individuals. There is a lot of training with this job (almost like I'm back in school).
As I speak the weather is great, but it has been sooo rainey for the last couple of weeks. I about went stir crazy.
Kerry has been working a lot doing some specialty carpentry work; building a deck for his brother and working on some things for a friend of his who has just opened a Bar and Grill. It's funny, I have been helping him load lumber, shoot the nail gun, level things off etc...and have had a ball. I have learned a lot.
Oh yeah, Kerry and I were involved in a wreck Oct 4th when this young girl hit us broadside on the passenger side of the truck. Luckily, we weren't seriously injured.
She was driving on a revoked license and had no insurance. Only 17 years old too.
Well, will keep you posted.
Until next time!

At Last
Well, I graduated school on Friday, August 7th as a Certified Nursing Assistant/Professional Responder. It wasnt easy. It was an intense 4 week course. I took more than 30 test, and had to learn 27 life skills. I now have the State Exam to pass on August 22nd. I have some employment options going on...
Anyway, the heat of summer is here and Kerry and I have slacked off on the hiking. Too Hot.
Also, my poor Kerry gets so many chigger/mosquito bites its pitiful.
Not much else going on. Just concentrating on getting a job and getting back in the swing of things.
Keep u posted.

Catching up
First the good news. I learned yesterday that I had been
accepted in the Certified Nursing Program thru the American Red
Cross. Whats really cool is that everything is paid for by a Military
Grant I recieved through my dad.
God is definitely good.
Lots other been going on. On a sad note Kerry's cabin
God is definitely good.
Lots other been going on. On a sad note Kerry's cabin
in Canton, Ga was illegally trashed out.
He was devastated and so was I. But no matter what
we have each other and we'll get through it. Also have another
addition to the family. We picked up a tiny abandoned kitten on
a trail we usually hike. Hesitated to bring it home because of the
dogs.The kitten's name is Laurel; Kerry named him for the trail
we found him on. Another TRAGIC (for me) note, I've hurt my ankle

AGAIN!
I either hurt it when Kerry and I went to the B52 concert and danced
our heads off, or when we hiked ten miles down Evensville Mtn.
Either way it was worth it....I had a blast at the concert and the hike

Me shooting my bow
The bow I am using belonged to Kerry's mom.
(Kerry gave it to me!)
She was a Georgia State Archery
Champion; I feel very honored to be using it.
When Kerry introduced me to this sport I
fell in love with it. I try to practice with it every
day I can. So far Kerry tells me I am doing great
I have only been shooting for like 4 days but already
have gotten several bulls eyes.

Follow me on my way
Lot's has been going on. Many travels and adventures. Have been back to Georgia and sit here in Krystal's as I speak. I went to Skydive The Farm and saw several actual skydives at the Farm. We went hiking in the Piney River Creek with boots that got soaked…and have been moving a lot of Kerry’s stuff into the house, and packing some of it for a yard sale.
But most of all on May 15th, 2009 I had a Niece and Nephew graduate High School with top honors. My Niece has a scholarship to a top Christian college, and my Nephew graduated 16th out of 320 students. He is going into the Army for Military Intelligence. My best friend's daughter also graduated with Honors. She grew up with Jeremy and Anna. All in all, Graduation night was very emotional. Seen alot of people had not seen in years. MEMORIES!!!
On a bad note, I was informed on the Friday I was to start school that the state had withdrew funding for the program I was to go into. Now, at an impasse. Sometimes I have to think though it is all for a reason. Me not getting a job, and the school thing. Maybe it is so I can help Kerry more.
Keep you posted, pics to come.
