hey everyone!!!
well on thursday was robbie's 26th birthday!!!!! on wednesday i arrived and set up the presents for him. which included a 19inch flat screen tv for his bed room, an engraved mug from things remembered, three picture frames i built and painted, a beer glass from hallmark (one of my favorite stores), and a small photo book of our adventures so far. i did take him to dinner on wednesday night to the melting pot in reston which he totally love. on thursday we packed up and head to luray for his bday camping trip. noreasterns i thought were spost to stay on the coast and not come to the mountains! well we got up there and it was all clouds on skyline drive. which of course ment rain. we set up his small tent (which we were planning to use for storage and emergancy incase friends who didnt rsvp (which ill get to later) showed up. and then set up my tent in the wind and rain. well after all that headed to luray to get a huge tarp to put over my tent. it took us over an hour to get back to the camp site. bc of the clouds on the mountain of skyline drive. yuck!!! so we just went to bed. slepeing in the middle of a hurricane is not something i recommend! i can camp dont get me wrong and robbie is an eagle scout. but all my god! i didnt get any sleep all night. listening to the wind wip the tents and the tarp that was over our eating area, and then fear of wild life freaking out and running through the camp site. so friday we woke up wet and cold. kiki and torey were due up that night and knew we had to make a decision about that. so we headed to the ranger station and found out 60% chance of rain every day this weekend and lows in the 40's. yuckie! so we packed everything wet up in black garbage bags and headed home. :(. on the way home we decided to invite kiki, torey, stephanie, john and robbies mom over saturday night for a bday dinner. which worked out for the best. i love my potential future sister in law bc she was still willing to come up and camp in the rain for robbies bday :). but she didnt have to. so lastnight we had the dinner party. which turned out really well. and let me just say cleaning a one bedroom apartment is hard. what am i going to do when i have a whole house to do and kids running around! so all turned out well for his bday even though it wasnt exactly how i planned. we are heading to bmore for the rest of the day to dry out the tents and stuff for next month. we are planning to try again for camping on skyline to see the leaves change and taking chase for the night. :) ill have pictures up soon. i just hope robbie was happy with his bday. next year ill be planning better for weather!
in other news...germany is counting down!!! im so excited! we are now thinking of going to berlin for a few days, frankfurt for two days, and the rest of the time in munich! kiki is helping me plan days out and what to see and book a hostel (yea thats how its spelled. they arent hotels. ill explain later) for berlin. robbie and i are starting to save. since all our gifts to friends and famiy will be from germany since we are getting home on christmas eve! im very excited and i know robbie is to. his aunt and uncle are excited to welcome me into their house and family which is relaxing me about going more and more. lets not talk about his father right now. l
ok thats all for now. have to get ready to head home with robbie following behind me. :) cya!

Working with thieves....
Hey everyone,
Well work is getting worse. When Hopkins bought the practice they said they got rid of all the employees that had criminal records. I think they didnt. Fast forward to a few months ago. A friend of mine was set up by another co-worker. My friend ended up hitting it of with this guy. Well the co-worker didnt like it after all and started drama. This has been going on for a while now. And the co-worker decided she was going to get revenge on my friend anyway she could. Fast forward to last month, my friend (ok her name is Lisa) got Lourainne in trouble. The co-worker is part of Lourainnes possy. Lourainne was very much a gosiper, so if you told her something the whole practice would know. Well as you all are aware Lourainne quit (due to pressure). Fast forward till today....This morning the front desk had a staff meeting. Lisa and Wanda came to the meeting together. Lisa put her cell phone down on a table by where she and I was going to sit for the meeting. The only people that were in this meeting were the front desk staff. No patients in the lobby however two people from Lourainne's possy are there. At the end of the meeting, with the doors still locked Lisa got up to get food then went back to grab her cell phone. It wasnt there. So she thought she left it in her car. So she went out to look for it. Not there. Its no where down in the lobby where the meeting was. I asked her if she was sure she had it when drove in today. Thinking she left it at home. She said she's knows she brought it because she talked to her mom on the way to work. So we dug through the trash, recycle bins, shredding bins, and I tore her car apart. It wasnt there. Enter Jessica. She said she saw Lourainnes possy huddled together looking at something. What she doesnt know and coulnt get close enough. So Wanda and Judi (our new practice manager) sent out an email saying that a cell phone was lost and if found to place return it to Lourainnes empty office. NO QUESTIONS ASKED! A way for the person not to get into any kind of trouble. As of the end of today at 545pm no phone was returned. I now thing it has been dumped somewhere else or distroyed. However I do have a patient who is good friend of mine and her husbands a cop. We find the phone we will have it dusted for prints. I just dont understand the person(s) had the balls to take the phone while no one was looking, have the freaking balls to put it back. Keep you posted....
So Robbie and I decided to go to Kings Dominion this past Sunday with his sister Kiki and her boyfriend Torey. The tickets were cheap. So we get on the new roller coasters and I'm perfectly fine. Having a blast. Getting on Dominator, Volcano, Anaconda, that kind of stuff. Then we hit the wooden roller coasters.....Robbie is alilttle bigger then me. So I get into the car on the Hurler. Robbie sitts next to me and off we go. The first major turn with the momentum and turn Robbie accidently slams into me. Which in turn slams my left side into the car. Right on the breast! And two more turns follow. By the time I get off the rid I can feel the breast bruising. We go to get onto the Grizzly. Ok alittle calmer ride. NOPE! Again slammed. By the time we left the park to go to our picnic lunch I'm now in serious pain. And it just got worse as the day went on. By the time we left I could no longer raise my left arm, I was hold the breast up and had the bra off. It was so painful I couldnt twist at all. I didnt drive home that night I stayed at Robbies. He had to help me get undressed and into bed. I couldnt lay with out pain. This is still going on today.
Its finally starting to turn purple. I think I bruised the breast tissue and muscle. UGH!!! But I still had fun! And I dont blame the man I love. He did take care of me on the way home.
I am getting ready for Robbie's bday. After trying to email some of his friends for the past two months and having no response I decided to tell Robbie about the surprise part. Then this past Monday night I get an email from one of them! Saying sorry he hasnt responded and blah blah blah! So I emailed him back and told him that people were still invited however I wouldnt be able to provide food and emailed him a list of what Kiki and I decided to cook. Needless to say I havent heard anything back yet. WHATEVER!
Germany: Robbie has gotten an invite for Germany from his aunt and uncle and dad and step mom. We have two possible dates in mind. December 26th-January 12th. Or December 28th-January 14th. The difference is about 180.00 to go later. WOW ! Thats a big difference. IF we go we will be going to Munich first since his uncle might be going away after new years for business. So we shall see.
House hunting...Winchester, VA. Cute town. Pretty cheap for us, but not sure yet. The commute still has Robbie worried. But we shall see.
Ok thats it for tonight. Have some projects to work on.

The begining of September
Hey everyone!!!!
Well its the 3rd of September. So let me say this now HAPPY BIRTHDAY MINHEE!!!! (even if it is tomorrow but I'm posting today.)
Life is the same. Mom has been in Alaska for about 11 days now. She's home on Friday. Thankgod. I might kill my brother! He thinks just bc he drives my grandmother around for an hour that means he can go out for 8 hrs every night. I have gone to work for 8hrs a day, run home to sit down stairs in the living room till midnight watching my grandmother. I have had four hours of freedom this past weekend with Robbie and that was like pulling teeth from my brother to stay home. But I'm down Va for the weekend this weekend. I'm not even coming home Friday after work to see my mom. She can wait till Sunday. She has been having fun. Seen whales and other stuff. I'll have pics up later. But now I'm thinking I want to go to Alaska. :)
Work is the same. The one good thing is that Lourainne is gone!!!! She was the one back in May that almost got me fired. Wanda had left for her wedding and it was no secret Lourainne was waiting for the perfect time to get me. And she got her "possy" to help her. She's the one who had me go to downtown Hopkins, have two drug tests done, make me see a phycologist, and had me on probabtion for two weeks. Then told people about it at work. Now what ever happened to employee/manager confindentiality? Then denied it when I took it to the top of Hopkins HR deparment. Well long story short she had a nervous break down and had work release for about two weeks. I still talk to the last practice manager Jenn who told me that Lourainne had been job hunting. Well three days later she gave her notice. Guess stuff was getting to tough for her. And heres the kicker. Wanda said she was crying. She brought this upon herself. Nobody mad her discriminate against employees she was in charge of. Let alone gossip about stuff that she shouldnt have. Boo-who for you! Good luck. Everyone who has left under pressure hasnt had it that good afterwards. Steve the practice mananger before Jenn has gotten fired from two jobs since leaving. I WONDER WHY!!!! But thats another story. And all I know is her little daughter wont be safe anymore either :-D
Robbie news: Well we are back to house hunting. Again this is the worse thing in the world! We both hate it! But its something that needs to be done. Anyone want to give us a house for a gift I would apperciate it. We are looking for a 4bedroom 3.5 bath, finished basement, hardwood floors, Chase friendly yard, single family house! Move in ready! I dont think thats to much to ask. I have seen friends who live in a town house. With Robbie and I talking about marriage and kids in the next two years I fear a townhouse. Thanks to Amberly btw about showing me that and the cheap birthcontrol! Two kids thats it! :-) Love you girl! I had been planning a surprise bday party for Robbie when we go camping in two weeks however that feel through. Alot of his friends never responded to me. So I ended up telling him and he was shocked. So it might be Robbie, Kiki, Torey, and me. Or just the two of us. Oh well I tried. I have gotten to meet a few more of his friends other the Tray. I met Will one of his other childhood friend. I'm looking forward to meeting some more of them. Robbie and I are also planing a camping trip in October in Virgina beach and going to Hollowscream in Bushgardens. Let me know if you are intrested. You dont have to camp. It's just cheaper. :-) And with trying to save for a house and Germany, cheap is good. Depending on what it is of course.
Chase is doing fine. He went for a two hour walk this past Monday with us to Hapers Ferry. He loved it. But really tire the rest of the day.
Well thats all for now. More later this month. Remember tomorrow is Minhee's bday! And on the 25th it's Robbies! :-)
