DATE!

What a few weeks its been. It has definitely been a new journey and im still not really sure what all is going to happen or how im feeling! But I will always hold my head high and keep moving forward! So here are some shots of my last couple of weeks. I have had lots of little projects going and trying to find new things to go back in the house. I have spent a lot of time with my family. We have also ended part of a family relationship that has been going down hill for quite some time. But no one will bad mouth my family or parents in front of me and me not stand up and take care of it. I can only pray that this person will learn to forgive before its his time to pass because he will live a loing bitter road until then if he doesn’t. Three things he told me the other day. NEVER LIE, CHEAT or STEAL. Words we, including him should live by. I hate that the relationship between our family and him is no longer but he did it all by himself. Enough about that!  REDNECK WOODSTOCK was a great time had by all even if i did disappear for a long time..i apologize! This weekend was def. a fun one spent with lots of family and many friends. Davids 50^th birthday was def a success!!! Callahan divide and Joey Green Band put on one hell of a show for all!  Im on vacation for one more day whoooo hooooo! So I guess I will be working hard tomorrow to finish up the house before I go back to work! Love to all….Gooodnight, MISSWHIT RICH!

Changes...Everything Changes

As many of you who follow me on a regular basis…(face book, That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, twitter) . You already know that there have been quite a few changes in my little life here recently. I know some do agree and some do not agree with the choices I have chosen to make. I can only say I am truly sorry but I have to do what I feel is best and will get me to where I need to be. Dreams run big but here lately my worries have been running bigger and I cannot continue to live with big worries! There is a path that God is leading me down, I’m not sure where he is taking me. Honestly I’m not sure what he has in store for me. I thought I knew but I guess everything changes and happens for a reason. I will just have to trust that the right path is there for me and follow it wherever it may take me. I would like to thank the people, friends, and family that are standing behind me because I couldn’t pick up the pieces all by myself. To the ones who enjoy watching me build my home…there are many changes to come. I have spent the last couple of days cleaning and getting things back in order. I have moved furniture back in a cleaned it back up. I have gotten a new refrigerator with the help of my dad and my neighbor to move it in. I purchased a new kitchen table and will hopefully begin to redo it soon. I am still on the lookout for several things, but in time it will all be taken care of. I will begin my regular posts again soon. Hope everyone has a great day!

We all fall down...sometimes

Lying here tonight I am wondering what this thing called life is really all about. The house is silent and desperately in need of being cleaned. The puppies are sleeping after stealing the left over pizza off the stove. The tv is on old tv shows that I enjoyed as a kid when I was stuck at the baby sitters because I wasn't allowed to stay with other children, because I was too ill and would get sick by other children's normal sicknesses. I spent half the day remembering how hard it is to not worry even though your strong enough to know it will be ok in the end. I furniture junked with my mimaw who is one lady who will lift a quiet spirit right back to the loud, energetic one that really exists. I have managed to paint one hand of 5 fingers. I sanded and began painting my latest project. But where was the joy in my day? I feel like the life has been and is being sucked out of me. I have read minds and hearts. But cannot manage to read my own. So for now I believe I'll lay here and think and pray to fall asleep tonight. And wake with peace and answers. Something is missing and even the best fall down...sometimes.

Two for 1: 17 & CoUnTiNg

I normally don’t post two blogs in one day, but I feel like today deserves two.

17…and counting!

This morning I had my yearly Cancer check up, that I had actually missed in January due to some communication errors.

In 1993 I was diagnosed with ALL (childhood Leukemia) by my pediatrician Dr. Gregory Tuegel who immediately sent me the very same day to Cook’s Children’s Hospital. The Doctor I was sent to was Dr. Sanders and her wonderful team. Although the experience was truly not very fun the medical staff took excellent care of me. I was put into remission after only three months but continued with two more years of treatment just to be on the safe side. I have been completely done with treatment since 1996. Today I visited my Doctor Dr. Bowman as I do every year and he told me that I had successfully been in remission for a little over 19 years and out of treatment for 17 total years. I am reminding myself today that God, is in full control and nothing he gives us is more than we can handle. Thankfully I was so young when I was sick because I didn’t really know any of the things going on. My parents and family did and I hate it for them but I am all grown up now and doing very well! Its so crazy to think that God did actually put me on this earth for some reason and I cant wait to figure the rest of my Journey out. I have successfully graduated Clyde High School, Cisco College with my Surgical Technology Degree, gained a great job where I have met so many people and learned new things, recently received my RDA (Registered Dental License) and also plan to retake my CST soon. I will have owned my own home for a year in September and have learned many new adventures through that process. I have learned some very scary but valuable lessons in life. Please don’t ever waist one day being unhappy for thinking you don’t have a purpose on this earth because standing here telling you that YOU are in fact here for a reason. God does have a purpose for you and things for you to fulfill. Everyday I wake up and wonder where my life is headed but guess what. Obviously he isn’t ready for me to know yet! I know I will not ever make all the choices that will be good for me, will make others happy but I have to do what’s best for me and my life. I have been hurt a long the way, and I will hurt people in life unintentionally. But every one is in your life and out of it for reasons. Trials and tribulations are here to make you grow and only make you stronger. We need not lean on anyone other than the lord to take care of us; he is the only one who knows what’s out there. Sorry everyone for getting into this soap box but I really needed it today!

Story Time…

 Some of you know or have helped out during difficult times The Gerngross Family and Little Jinger Jo. I have never visited with them personally but do know of the family and all that they have been through with their very precious little girl who has also been battling cancer at a very young age. I had the opportunity to see her sweet face this morning when I was leaving my own Doctors appointment and I cannot tell you how she melted my heart. A smile and wave from such a happy child is such a blessing because God has great Plans for her! I immediately got in my car and teared up because I don’t know all the struggles they are going through but I continue to lift them all up.  

o       On a fun note! I have been asked to help coach some little mini cheerleaders this next season and I cannot be more excited!!!!

Hope Everyone has a good Tuesday!

MIssWhitRICH!

Two for One: A precious baby from above

Well everyday,
Yesterday on my lunch break I got the pleasure of meeting, seeing and holding one of the newest members to our little circle. After 43 hours of labor for the strong keeli and a c section later we all have a healthy, precious baby boy to love on! He is perfect in every way! I'm so proud of and for Bo and Keeli on their new bundle of joy. I cannot wait to help spoil him completely rotten. Bo, keeli and baby Ryan Cade Patton will be headed home around noon today! Whooo hoo.

You cant take the Country out of the girl!

As many of you know I used to do this every day…but here lately. Im just not my normal “blogging” self. You may want to ask what’s wrong. But please, don’t waste your breath. Answer: I simply just don’t know anymore, How to fix it: I simply do not know. But I’m losing too much weight trying to figure it out! Don’t get me wrong the daily run sure does make me feel a million times better. But there is simply something else wrong. Simply…I know right, not everything can be simple…but I sure as hell never thought it would be this hard. I have accomplished so much in life. And I should be proud and let nothing bring me down, but here I am wallowing in my own sadness while sitting at home watching Sex and the city. Enough with my whining.

My week was spent with lots of friends and some family, some fire works with a precious little girl and her mama. My favorite little thing on earth, some Rodeo action and a little beer drinking with family and great friends. My little Snow White car got to take two mini road trips with my parentals to watch friends and the brother up in the rodeo! ( you can take the girl out of the country…but you will never be able to take the country out of the girl. The weekend ended with a family lunch Grandoarents, parents and brother and whit! I got my run in early because I simply couldn’t wait for tonight.

RYAN CADE PATTON JULY 8,2012

Manic Tuesday?

Manic Monday...oh wait, I don’t get to use that excuse anymore

Today is definitely Tuesday because tomorrow is JULY 4^th!

I bet you are wondering what this means, it means that im off work for the whole day. My little brother is up in the Double Muggin at Stamford and I get to see lots of people I only get to see about once a year! Whoo hoo.

Here are some facts for today!

Insightful Fact- Each day we wake up with new challenges to face and today im I think im facing all of them! I woke up in the night feeling terribly nautious and I decided I take a phenergran( medicine to help with nausea) and went back to sleep. I most def over slept and was running through the house trying get everything situated in a short amount of time. Late to work and a tad bit of wrinkled scrubs and no makeup whoo hoo for a day off tomorrow.

Exciting Fact- one of my bffs is possibly having a baby from now until Friday! WHOOO hooo come on baby Cade we are ready to meet you instead of cooing, awwwing and talking to your mom’s tummy all the time. I bet you are thinking these Aunts’s of mine are NUTS!

Crazy Fact- I have been running again for over a week and ive never felt better. Bet you didn’t think that would ever come out of my mouth as soon as I walked across that stage did you?

Sad Fact- I only get one day off for the fourth…blah

Gross Fact- Last week I went pool swamping with my mama while trying to get her pool cleaned out and ready for use!

Important fact- this girl needs some sleep! And lots of it!

Frustrating fact- I wanna know where my life is headed

Weird Fact- If the polish on my nails chips I must take it all off and repaint them

Going to be a crazy busy week but after my sleep in and house cleaning tomorrow ill be ready. Have a good day all

A little weekend recap

Friday after I got off work I spent time helping my mama on a little bit scary adventure. Pool swamping. Yes people that's what I said, it was interesting. I won't include a picture but just picture a large oval above ground pool, a swamp and two women...bahah if I could only know what you just saw in your mind.

Shortly after I went to the other parentals & laid out for about an hour and a half.

This was followed by a one and a half mile run,nap, dinner and fireworks at the lake with parents.

Saturday morning cleaning and more pool time.

Got to spend a short amount of time with Casey and he's already gone again.

Sunday afternoon Is here and I'm alone watching some tv...
