Post Wedding Stomach Bug

My wedding was this Saturday......

It was beautiful and nice and a day to remember. I loved my day. However since Sunday around 2am I have been battling a stomach bug that has been kicking my behind and winning. I've been bedridden for 2 days. Between the bathroom and the bed has been my path. On the bright side, I have lost 5 lbs and I guess that's a plus. My mom keeps saying I didn't get cold feet before the vows so this is my version of it now. On my honeymoon, and my husband is taking care of me.

I have never felt this horrible in my life.

Myths...

         In my life, I have heard several myths. My family believes in weird ones. Well I guess it was more superstitions than myths.

1. If you knocked flowers over onto the ground that mean someone from the dead was trying to get in touch with you.

2. Walking into a spiderweb brings good luck (I HAVE NEVER wanted to be this lucky)

3. Sweep someone's feet with the broom, you will go to jail unless you spit on it. ( This one was just plain disgusting)

4. Eating fish eyes made you smart ( Never ate them, that could be why I struggled in math)


You name it., they believed it. I use to believe them until I got around my teenage years, and just came to the conclusion that my mom and aunts were just crazy.

Death

           I come from a big family. When you have a large family, you have alot of births and a lot of deaths. I have had my fair share of funerals in my lifetime. Death is so depressing. Especially if the COD isn't natural and expected, and pain free.
        
            I remember when my dog died, and seeing how much pain he was in. He was my baby!! Remy was his name and he was 8 years old. He was a pure bred cocker spaniel and all black. I had him since he was a little puppy. A few weeks old to be exact. He was my guy! He went everywhere with me. Friends knew that if I was coming over, Remy was coming with. He was my best friend. He was so funny. Eight isn't an old age for dogs and before I had him, I never really thought about dogs dying.

            I'll never forget the day he passed. Well it actually started the day before. It was very sudden and unexpected. Typical morning in the house and I am getting up and getting ready for school. It was my senior year in high school. (WOW- Realizing that was 10yrs ago is scary- Im  getting old!) Remy was usually always in my room or at the foot of my bed. Everyone was in the mornign routing of getting ready .My mom, dad and younger sister. Remy started walking down the stairs and crying while doing so. My dad and I are freaking oout because I never heard him sound like that. My dad picked him up and brought him down the rest of the way. He stopped crying and my dad took him for walk. He seemed to have snapped out of it, and went back to normal. So I thought.


          I worked at Buds in high school, and was at my job when my mom called me hysterically at work. She said he wasn't moving his legs so I rushed home. When I got home, he had moved to behind one of the couches and would not move. His back legs weren't moving and he just looked so sad. I picked him up and we took him to the Animal Hospital. We were there for a few hour, just waiting before they could tell us anything.

        I was so concerned. Come to find out, he has slipped more than one disk in his back. The Vet kep asking if he had fallen. We know he hadnt. The doctor told us to go home and come in the morning.

        In the morning, we went back to the hospital and he had gotten worse. He couldn't move anything but his head but he was so happy to see us. I was crying because the Vet said surgery wouldn't be an option because how injured he was. We had to put him down. I literally felt like my child died! It was one of the most depressing time of my life.

       A few weeks after he passed, his groomer called to see if he was coming in for his scheduled grooming. We let her know that he had passed and what happened. Two days after that, she called back and informed us that Remy had fallen off the grooming table while he was there. I was LIVID!i was somewhere between burning her shop down or protesting outside of the shop and calling the news station. She was very sorry and reiumbursed all of his vet expenses.

   
       I got another dog and I have had him for 10 yrs now, but I will always miss Remy. He was my baby! No, Mr. Priest DOES NOT go to Remy's former groomer.



  

A Symbol in Revelation!

In Revelation, there are several symbols. One symbol in particular is the stairs leading up to heaven, It is symbolic to Jacob ladder in the  Bible

This Week Random Blog - WEDDING PLANNING BLUES

This week we have a blog that could be about anything. So I guess I can talk about my wedding plans. I am currently married. I have been since August of last year. My husband proposed in December 2013 and we decided on December 2014 wedding date. Gave us a year to get ready! Surprise happened in March when I found out I was a few months pregnant. The baby was due in August so we still was going ahead with wedding plans for out December wedding.  Things got HECTIC. I never in a million would have thought that wedding plans was this crazy. No one could have told me this. There are so many little things that are involved. I never wanted a big wedding. I have never had the desire for a big Cinderella dream wedding. Never planned a wedding in my head. I wanted to go to the courthouse. I was fine with that. However, my dad is a pastor, and I was his first of four children marrying, and I realized I DID want my dad to marry us. That meant something to me. So we decided on a small beach wedding of 50. I was determined not to let the wedding plans get me stressed out. After all, I am pregnant, and big during the hot spring and summer months.

So many things was happening at once. We needed a bigger place, I was tired of renting, new daycare fees, my 3 year old needs love and attention, and my pregnancy was kicking my ass. I was talking to my realtor about finding us a new place to rent, preferably a home, and she started telling me that I should buy. It was the last thing on my mind. I hadn’t thought about buying a house for another two or three years. So I was like well tell me what to do. Next thing I know I am buying a house, carrying a baby, planning a wedding, and trying to make sure my 3 yr. old feels the attention and love he needs. He started acting out a bit when I got pregnant. On top of all this, I am still working full time at the Attorney General’s office.  I AM exhausted at this point. My plans for no stress went out the window the moment I made it. Me and my husband finally set down and decided that we wanted the house more than we wanted the wedding. So we pushed the wedding plans back to June 6, 2015. Baby was coming in August, and my husband still wanted to be married before we had her so he asked if we could do something, just us to, at the courthouse. I was fine with that. BUT what about our parents??? We decided to keep it a secret. So we went and got married on anniversary date 8-7-14, at the courthouse. To this day, no one knows we are married but he and I. Baby came end of August. We moved into our house in November.

We got back on track with the wedding planning in Feb 2015. This stuff is till hectic. I am doing something wedding oriented every single weekend. I am so ready for the day to come and go!!! It is in 18 days and I cannot wait for it be over! I more excited about the day after the wedding than the actual day .Yes I know I will enjoy this day and cherish it our memories forever, but OMG....   Wedding planning SUCKS

Critical Perspective...

Critical Perspective is essential when reading. Everyone's critical perspective can differ from one another. Critical perspective is how you see, interpret, and understand the material. It’s basically what you understand the material to be and what you got from what you just read. It goes hand in hand with comprehension.

Poem Blog

Blog #13

One of my favorite writers/poets is Shel Silverstein. I have about 5 of his books. My favorite book by him is Where the Sidewalk End. I have memorized each poem in the book. I’ve had it all my life and I read it to my son and my daughter. Shel Silverstein was a great poet. One of my favorite poems in the book is Sick. It’s about a young girl who wants to stay in bed and not go to school because she is sick. She describes in depth how she is near death throughout the poem. She has every disease she can think of. Once she nears death near the end of the poem, she learns its Saturday. She is suddenly miraculously healed and wants to go out and play. I love them poem because we can all say we have tried it as well. I know I can. I have come up with some fevers and “sore throats” to try to get out of school. It never worked with my mom, but I sure tried it. If you ever get a chance, brag the book it is a GREAT book.

 

Sick

by Shel Silverstein 

Sick "I cannot go to school today,"
Said little Peggy Ann McKay.
"I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash and purple bumps.
My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,
I'm going blind in my right eye.
My tonsils are as big as rocks,
I've counted sixteen chicken pox
And there's one more - that's seventeen,
And don't you think my face looks green?
My leg is cut, my eyes are blue -
It might be instamatic flu.
I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I'm sure that my left leg is broke -
My hip hurts when I move my chin,
My belly button's caving in,
My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained,
My 'pendix pains each time it rains.
My nose is cold, my toes are numb,
I have a sliver in my thumb.
My neck is stiff, my spine is weak,
I hardly whisper when I speak.
My tongue is filling up my mouth,
I think my hair is falling out.
My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight,
My temperature is one-o-eight.
My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,
There is a hole inside my ear.
I have a hangnail, and my heart is -
what? What's that? What's that you say?
You say today is ... Saturday?
G'bye, I'm going out to play!"

Women Writers....

There are so many women writers in the world of Literature. I love to read so I come across many! I will say that some of my favorite writers are male. Harlan Coben is my absolute favorite. I have read EVERY book he has written, and I am at the bookstore when he releases a new one. One of my favorite women writers is Jackie Collins. She is great, and her stories are so captivating. Her Lucky Santangelo novels are the best!! She has written about Lucky over the years. I feel like I know her and her family life.

              Since being in the class I have studies a lot of Flannery O’ Connor’s work and I must say I enjoy reading her short stories. I read Revelation for class assignment purposes only. Once I started researching her for that particular assignment, I came across other published works of her, and really enjoy her stories. Her collection of short stories in the book, A Good Man is hard to Find, are fantastic. I read them all. The Artificial Nigger and The River are the best out of that collection.

 

            I have read other women writers. Women writers have written compelling stuff. From Flannery O’ Connor to E.L. James and her Fifty Trilogy. From J.K. Rowling to Zane. There are so many out there! I get to them one page at a time.

Wikipedia..

I have always been a fan of Wikipedia. It really does come in handy when you need quick information. I have been a avid user of Wikipedia for years now. I use it to verify something I already know or to be a backup to a already source. Most teachers do not like when you use Wikipedia as a source, and actually this is the only class I have ever taken where Wikipedia is actually entertained by a professor. Pretty cool. I love looking up various things, especially when I am bored. I like how it is constantly updated, even though I have seen some inaccurate data on pages here and there. Overall it is a good site.

I have never thought to actually edit an article or even create one. The fact that we are doing this in this class is pretty interesting. Just thinking that thousands of people will see something I have written is cool to think about. I hope I don’t mess it up.

Something on me that symbolizes me…..

                 I would say my charm necklace that I wear EVERYDAY symbolizes me. I had it made through Origami Owl and you can pick the charms. I have a J charm that stands for my son, Joshua. My K charm stands for my daughter, Khyle. I have a heel charm because I am a shoe fanatic. It’s an obsession and addiction that I proudly rep! I have a charm that says, Family Forever. Family is BIG to me. It is the core foundation of my life and I love my family. I have a background plate that is engraved with my married last name on it. MARKS I love married life. I have a football charm in it, because I love football. I am a diehard Dol-Fan and will be till I leave this earth. 

                I feel my Origami Owl charm necklace symbolizes me perfectly.  My sister sells Origami Owl so I am constantly adding charms to it.

Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher"

          So I read the short story by Edgar Allen Poe , The Fall of the House of Usher. We all know that Poe's writing was always a little dark and a little twisted. A quick synopsis shows a guy who went to a friend's house and the friend's sister is dead, but not really. A lot of creepy paranormal stuff goes on and it is as if the house is alive and in the end both the friend and the friend's sister is dead and the house dissipates.
         
         I really wasn't into the story so much. It reminded me of the sixth sense movie. The little boy is really creepy and sees some crazy stuff and dead people. Bruce Willis is following him around and in the end we find out the Bruce Willis has been dead all this time ..... Eh! I'm not really into paranormal stories.

      Back on subject! The themes I got from the movie was mortality, mental illness, and rising from the dead.... Resurrection if you must.  Roderick was a hypochondriac. The sister was dead the ENTIRE time, but was  walking around the house and stuff freaking me out.

    What was so interesting was  the calmness and overall demeanor of the narrator. He was calm and so willing to help his friend and cheer him up, even though this entire situation was Frrrreeeeaaakkky

   
       A little creepy if you ask me but hey....  It is Edgar Allen Poe.

My Introduction to Comp 2

HELLO!

                My name is Randi Bush-Marks. I am taking another English with Professor Hamon so there will blogs! You can read my previous posts to get a little idea about me. I am a mother of two, US Army Veteran, and I am currently in the Legal Studies program. I have been working in the Legal field for a few years now and I love it. Do I want to be a lawyer? Heck NO! But I do love this field. I recently got a new job with the Federal Courts and I love it. It’s a bit different from my previous job at the Attorney General’s Office but it’s exciting nonetheless. I recently bought a home and this journey is exciting. I am always busy, always tired, and always on the go. My daughter is 7 months old and my son is almost 5. He is graduation from VPK next month and going to Kindergarten in August. The time sure does fly. If you catch me sneaking out of class a few minutes early, that is where I am headed. To my husband and children. I leave my house at 7 in the morning, and on school nights, I don’t see it again until 9ish that night. It’s hectic but I know it’s going to pay off in the long run. This is my 3^RD semester at South and I have to say I am getting this school thing down. I was nervous at first because the last time I was in school was Basic Training, AIT, and other military related courses while serving in the Army. Well more of me to come in the upcoming weeks. If you are on my Google+, let me warn you now, I post pictures of my children. Not a lot but a few and other interesting articles. I am a bit of a news junkie.

Blogging in Class

We had to write blogs in this class. I never considered myself a blogger and I really don't read other people blogs. With it being a direct affect on my grade, I made up in my mind that I would do it.  I actually found myself enjoying writing blogs in class and actually reading my classmates blogs. It was my way to vent and get those quirky thoughts in my head out. Reading my other classmates blogs let me see a side of them I did not see in class.

Will I continue to blog outside of class????


I would like to think so. However how many times have I started a journal and not kept up with it... A few dozen times.

Using Google + in Class

I have never really used Google + before this class. I had initially signed up for it but only because it was the new social media "thing to do" . I never used it. With it being a requirement in the class, I used it frequently and found myself enjoying it. I have connected with several pages on Google + and I post articles to my page from time to time. I have connected with more students with Google + and some co-workers.

I know I will continue to use Google + after this class. 

Do Not LEND Your Friends Money

My mom always told me to never lend money that you can not afford to miss. I kept this saying near and dear in my mind and have used it time and time again. I recently bought concert tickets for the a concert coming in August for my friends and my husband. I bought 6 in total. 2 for my and my husband 2 for my two of my friends, and the other two for one of my friends and her boyfriend.... Everyone has paid me back except for the one friend and her boyfriend. We have been friends for years!!! And I do consider her like family! We rarely ever argue and have had minimal disagreements.

This issue is slowly becoming a wedge between us. I don't want it to but like anyone in this world, I don't play about my money either. When  I told everyone the price of the tickets, she chimed in with the okay and said she would pay me that weekend. That weekend was 2 weeks ago. She informed a week after ticket purchase that she was tight financially and I was somewhat sympathetic to her issue. I was more baffled than concerned. My friend and her boyfriend both work full time jobs with GREAT salaries, no kids, and her house was inherited. But still I was a tad sympathetic.  That sympathy left my body when she went and spent $300 on a tattoo that covers majority of her thigh AND had the audacity to send me like 15 pics of it.

Did you ask me can you spend my money on a tattoo??

I have nicely told her this weekend that I would need my money by the end of the week or her tickets would be sold. I do not think I am being unfair. Who doesn't pay for their stuff??? No one likes owing anybody anything. She knows I have a new house, two kids, etc. etc. Am I hurting over the $200? Not at all. But I do want my money. It is mine!

Am I being mean??

I don't think so!

My Love to Read

I read a classmate's blog on his passion for reading and it inspired this blog topic. I love to read. It is one of my favorite activities. When I do actually catch a moment to myself, which is kinda of hard these days, you will catch me with a book in my hand or my tablet. I never had a problem readings but my  passion for reading started when I was right out of 5th grade actually.

The summer camp I was going to that summer before my 6th grade, started participating in the D.E.A.R program. The D.E.A.R. program was getting used in schools around that time and to be honest I do not know if they still do it. Its the Drop Everything And Read. You had to bring a book everyday, and 30 minutes was blocked out for reading. If you didn't bring a book, they had the most boring and dull books to read. My mom was already big on reading and you could catch us at the library at least three times a week. One day I forgot my book and asked my mom for a book. It was my first adult novel. I was reading teen books , my baby sitters club, goosebumps, etc. I will never forget it. It was The Maintenance Man by Michael Baisden. I was so intrigued. I saw the people, the places they talked about, everything. I finished the novel in two days.

After that, I was hooked! I had to read. It became an hunger to read and consume more. I become my mother; reading partner. We would read books, and discuss them.  We talked about the characters in the book as they were real people and we knew them personally. I got so hooked where I would stay up late reading. I would tell myself just one more page, one more chapter, and so one and so forth. The passion stayed with me till this day.

While I have been afforded to travel to a lot of places and different countries, I tell people I have been all over the world in books. I love all categories; Romance, Thriller, Sci-Fi, Mystery, etc, etc, etc

Google Drive vs Microsoft Word

                                  So I have never used Google Drive before this English course. I have always used Microsoft word, I am certified in Microsoft programs. It is my go to and I love it various functions. I think what I love most about it, is the fact that I am GREAT at utilizing it. When my professor first introduced Google Drive to me, I thought it was a waste of time because I knew I would never use it. With the professor making it a requirement, I just thought I would write in Microsoft then copy and paste it to Google Drive.

                                  I have slowly started to really like Google Drive. It has so many nice functions. I have come to love the not having to save anything. Everything is recoverable . This proved to be one my favorite functions after I lost my 10 page legal brief when my computer decided to shut down on its own. There goes 4 hours of my life and an extra 25 minutes of verbally abusing my computer, and 15 minutes of almost deciding to quit school that  I would never get back.

                                  I have started using Google Drive at work, and it really is great. The links and search functions are pretty great as well.




So all in all, what I thought was pretty useless has become a staple in my everyday life.

You Reap what You Sow....

My four year old is currently driving me crazy!!!! His attitude and behavior is getting a little out of control. As sweet as he can be, he can be just a sour!


Have you ever see the commercial for Sour Patch candy? Where the piece of candy is doing something demonic and then flips the script and immediately becomes a sweetie? That commercial could double for a PSA about 4 yr. old children. He can be my little angel and then turn around and turn into Damien. Everyone looks at him and think he is the sweetest and his behaves so well in school. Its when he comes home that the crazy comes out.


The irony of it all is that he acts just like I did when I was a child. I was horrible. I put my parents the some things! My mom always told me I was going to reap what I had sowed when I had my own children  but who is really thinking about children at 14 and 15 years of ago.


Now when I call my mom and tell her what craziness her first born grandchild is putting me through, she listens to the entire story, chuckles, and says , "You Just Reaping".


It drives me crazy but only because deep down, I know she is right!

Late Nights..... Early Mornings

Tired is the only mood I have been in the past few weeks....

My six month old daughter is teething. If you don't have kids, then you have no idea how irritating and tiresome teething can be.

I haven't slept and my nerves are on extreme edge. She is crying constantly and have fevers almost everyday.  Add my husband, four year old son, full time job, and school into the mix, and I am not a nice person these days.

I love my babies tho. Its just the nature of the beast. I survived with my son and I will survive this time as well.

The lack of sleep isn't great but coffee works wonders. You'd be surprised how much energy you can get from 20 min catnaps in your car on lunch breaks. .

What Grinds My Gears....

One thing I can say that irks my nerves more than others is people that text and drive. OMG!!!!!

It is absolutely one of the most dumbest things someone can do. What is so important that you must put yourself and others in serious harm way?

I rode with my youngest sister to Orlando and back this past Saturday. She is a serious texter. I had to close my eyes halfway through the trip. She kept doing it. She was having this ongoing conversation with her best friend. Why couldn't she just CALL her and talk to her is mind boggling. She ran off the road twice and when she almost did the 3rd time, I was about two seconds from punching her in the nose. Even when she ran off into the shoulder, she never put the phone down. Her position in the car from West Palm Beach to Orlando was one hand on wheel, one hand has phone in it, and head tilted down. I was about to lose my mind.

I asked her if she drives like this with my nephew in the car and she insists NO. I know that was a darn lie! 

I drove on the way back. It was the safest way to keep me from dying or going to jail for murder. Why do people do it? I know everyone has seen the videos of people dying from texting while driving. I guess I will never know. It is never that serious and I have two children and a husband I like to get home to every night.

The ironic thing about the trip is, my mom and dad are kicking her off their insurance in May and she wants to get on mine. I WAS thinking about it....


NOT ANYMORE!!!

I have a New Job

I am very excited to share that I have a new job. I currently work for the Attorney General's Office in the Criminal Appeals division as a Case Supervisor. While I love my job, I am always looking to excel and escalate in life.

I applied for a Management position with the Federal Courts in the Criminal Probation/Legal Division around Christmas. I was called for a interview on January 27th. I interview very well and possess great speaking skills. It was a panel interview consisting of five of the Bureau Chiefs from different divisions of the courthouse. It seemed somewhat intimidating, but once I get to talking, I am good to go. The interview went well and I wasn't surprised they called my the following Monday offering me the job.  I GLADLY accepted.

Federal jobs are hard to get in because no one ever really quits. I am very excited. I start on March 9th. While leaving my current job will be bittersweet, I am anxiously awaiting the next chapter in my life.

How Professional Bloggers Handle Voice and Purpose

When communicating through their writing, professional bloggers have to carefully choose the tone in which they are using to convey the message they want to get across. Tone is key in communication. Even when not speaking to someone, you tone can be felt while reading your writing. So when thinking about the purpose of whatever you have chosen to write about, you have to cater the tone of your writing to fit the purpose.


When at work, I constantly get emails, memo, briefs,  and letters throughout the day. I deal with criminals and people in prison trying to represent themselves in their appeals. When reading their pleading you can tell if someone is angry, mad, begging, or just insane simply by reading...


Tone is key if you want the purpose properly understood.

How To Handle The Reader

When writing, I always have to think of the reader. Is what I am writing going to captivate the reader? Are the going to like it? Will the understand the message I am trying to portray? Will they even finish reading the material? With all these questions running around in my head, I have to stop and think about how get a good handle on my reader. I think about who I want to read what I have written. What audience am I trying to target? When that is figured out, I will cater what I have written to the general likes and minds of the target audience.  I believe an explosive introduction is key. I cant tell you how many times I've read  a few pages of a book and get so lost in what I am reading, I just give up. Getting the reader to think is also another I handle my reader to get them to do what I am what them to do and that is read what I have written,

What I have Learned while writing....

While writing this first document, it has made me open my eyes to what I post OR repost/share on social networks. Yes it may be funny, but do I really want my name attached to it. I googled my name and see that some of my retweets even come up. So in this past week or so, I have gone back and looked at everything on my Facebook and Instagram. I deleted a few pictures that could be taken the wrong way, and memes that even though were funny to me, didnt look good for the image I am trying to portray. Even though I know once its out there, its out there forever, I can still make the effort.

I watch what I retweet now. I can just laugh and keep it moving. I dont have to repost it. The crazy vidoes we seeon Facebook. Just laugh and keep strolling. This assigment really has made me MORE  aware of my online image.

Writing in a Group. What works, What Doesnt

Im not for Group Assignments. I really do not like it. However, there are some pros and cons to group projects. For the pros, you get new ideas and different point of views. Some time you can get burnt out while writing or drafting a paper. You can hit a brick wall. Working in a group, you can have ideas that you didnt think of, or someone to get the wheels turning again. Another benefit of working in a group is that you feel accountable to do you part. In a group, someone can feel as if there are obligated to do their scetion of the assigment so they dont sink the whole group.  What I don't like about group assignments are the cons, which in my opinion, far outweigh the pros. You have to depend on someone else to do their part and get things done. Some people get in group assigments and feel they can ride the coattails of others.  I really dont like group assigments.

My Online Image

I would like my online image to be a professional and fun. Positive and show the fun side of me. I believe your online image is one of the first impressions just about anyone will see of you. How many times have we met someone and later that day, tried to find them on Facebook. In this world today, your online image is your first impression. People can meet you but feel like they really know what you are abour based on yout online image. I want my online image to capture the adult, mother of 2, wife of 1, hard working , life loving, side of me.

South Florida Fair 2015

Today I took my family to the South Florida Fair. I love the fair. Its such a great family outing. My girlfriends were there with their children as well. I love the fair for my son. To see how excited he gets and how much he loves the rides, the animals, the lights, and food. We saw a cow give birth. It was so weird buy so beautiful. She went through labor for a few hours. We went back on our way out, and she was right in the middle of getting that calf out. It was so weird watching someone gives birth. Once the calf came out, she went right into Mom mode. She started cleaning her new calf and it was so amazing. Those motherly instincts just kicked right in. My husband wanted to vomit and my son's 4yr old attention span was already on to the next thing....


I enjoyed watching tho.

My New Dog... For Now

So my husband has persuaded me into getting a new dog. I can't believe I gave in. So we have a new dog named Ace. He is a English Pointer. He has been here a week and I am over the dog already. He is so friggin hyper. OMG!! HE IS ON MY LAST NERVES. He is a big dog. He is about to "run away". My son loves him so much. That is his oly saving grace.


So we will see how this goes....

Hey Everyone. This is very first blog ever!!! I love reading other people's blog but never even considered writing my own...


So what do you want to know???


I am 27 year old married Army Veteran. I have two beautiful children. A son, 4 yrs. old named Joshua and a 4 month old princess name Khyle.


I am currently in school to get my Paralegal Degree. I have been in the legal field for almost 5 years now. I really like it. I've worked in Personal Injury Law and Criminal Law. I currently work for the Office of the Attorney General as a Adminstrative Case Supervisor in the Criminal Appeals Divison. I'm excited about being in school because the last school I attended was while I was in the Army and it was dealing with maps and terrain


I just purchased my first home. Very excited about that. I am just in a really god place in my life!


Happy to be in this class. Seems like Professor Hamon is teaching outside the box and maybe this technique will grab my attention.


Looking forward to a interesting semester!
