honey bunches of oats

Hey!! Hil, I'm really sorry you were so sick! Don't get too skinny now.. 7 pounds?! You can guarantee if we were around we'd all be trying to feed you pot stickers like Amanda did that one time :) Thanks for praying for me girls. I've heard from a couple of places but nothing is nearly close to being solidified yet, but you will all be the first ones to know when something is!!!

As far as Broadway goes -- I'm up for anything! We can get a list of shows playing, and show up at the box offices that day like Hil suggested, and if stuff is sold out, we can just move to our second choice and go to that box office. Honestly -- I just want to hang out with you girls in NYC! :D does this sounds good? And yeah, like Hil said we can totally save TLM for when we are all a little more financially stable ;) plus we have to save money cause we'll be in the shopping capital of the northeast!! haha :)


Amanda I miss you SO MUCH!!!! I can't wait to hear all kinds of crazy stories and things that you did over there. Will you be around for the weekend at Bri's?

Hil I'm so glad you're job is going well -- it was so good to hear your voice the other day! And Bri I'm glad your nannying days are over (or almost over) :P

I pray for all of you everyday and not a day goes by where I don't think about you all!

Kisses and hugs
Joy

Sorry, women, that I have not responded on here! I forgot to check for awhile there-silly me. I will be praying about this job, JOY! It was good to talk to you the other night! Bri-good thoughts on the kids--I was thinking the same thing last summer and it was only 2 kids...you realize that it's like parenting except you never get to go home, and you don't get paid! ahh! I have some broadway thoughts-just a possibility, let me know your thinkings: We could go to the TKTS place in NYC as soon as we get into the city-they offer really discounted tickets for a lot of the shows--and we could try to get little mermaid tickets. Then, if they don't have any more for that day, we could just see something else cheap, and save TLM for another time (Maybe in the fall?) when more money is coming our ways? Just thoughts. Miss you Miss Amanda, but hopefully you are out and about and have very little time to be scanning the internet. Love you, if you're reading this. Love you if you're not. Love you all, lovely women! Joy-H-burg would be fun-God will provide for you! prayers prayers prayers! (I will be saying them for you).
Praying for all of you. Pray for me as well.
I LOVE YOU BUNCHES OF HONEY!
Hil

P.S. Funny story, and the reason for the title of this post: On this past Saturday, the whole side of my dad's family was at my aunt and uncle's house in NJ, (plus a couple of my cousin's friends, b/c they were going out for her b-day later), totaling 27 people who were there full-time. Anyway-great party, lots of fun...unTIL...dun dun DUUNNNN.... Monday morning-2 am.... I wake up in the middle of the night and start puking my brains out ... until 10am... when we called the Dr (around 9) and she prescribed anti-nausea medication (that, I later learned, they also give to Chemo patients) ... it was probably the worst I've ever felt in my life, or at least the worst I can remember... I lost 7 pounds in the course of 2 days... but the CRAZY part is... it wasn't just me (I think, according to talk w/ family, though, nobody got it for such an extended number of hours..aka 7hrs) ... 14 of 27 people got sick at about the same time!! ahhhhhhh.... it was just funny b/c we kept getting updates from my dad, like, ok, welp uncle Gary is sick, and Lily is sick, and Kelly, and Patrick, etc etc etc... more sad than funny, I guess, but. Just thought I'd warn you to be careful out there! haha. Okay, so that was significantly longer than I guessed it would be... probably longer than my original post. Oh well. LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU! wash your hands!

Amanda your pictures are amazing! It looks like you're having a GREAT time...I'm even more excited to hear all about it :-)
How's everyone's jobs going?? It's my last week nannying...(praise the Lord, lol) and then I'm gonna do Cracker Barrel 3 days a week...I hope that everyone is doing well! Let me know what's going on in your lives! LOVE YOU

HEY again! Bri if you have free time, I mean I work everyday but you can totally come stay a day/a couple of days if you want!!! I would love that. :) Your nanny job sounds like you have some stories about the kids, haha :) yeah, babysitting always makes you want to wait until you're 50 to have children...... love you all!

I/we will most definitely be praying!!! I'm glad that you said something. It sounds like it would be a sweet job :-) How's the summer job going?? I hope it's going well. I wanna come up and visit (I think I might actually have some time off next week...)
And I did get the nanny job...it's going well, but a little more work than I was thinking. I actually only have one more week and then I guess I'll be at Cracker Barrel again..boo...but I have learned that I will definitely wait a LONG time before having kids lol.
I hope that everyone's summer is going well! I really do miss everyone.
LOVE YOU!

Hi girls, I have a prayer request. I inquired about a job position today for the fall, its a job in Harrisburg as a Website Manager. I am really qualified for it, and I can't help but pray and hope that God will open this door. I have been applying to jobs like crazy these past few weeks, and I feel that I haven't been seeking out God and friends to pray for me :( So I'm starting now... Can you guys pray for me? I want it to work out if it is in God's will, and I really want this job -- so I need to trust in Him.

I love you all, how are you doing? I know Amanda is in transit :) she's probably snoozing right now actually.. but she's heading to family's house in the morning! How are you Bri?? Did you get the nanny job? How's your church job Hil? I realized how long its been since I've heard your voices, so I'm going to call you each sometime this week.

Okay :) Love you all, thanks in advance for praying.
