Miss Kandee Johnson

...is my favorite makeup artist. I lkove watching her makeup tutorials on you tube. I 've learned a lot about different makeup brands and different celebrity styles. She used to do hair too, so I've watched some hair videos as well. She has a fun persoanlity that is why I like her so much. She also used to be a model, and she has three children with one on the way. Here is a picture of her.

Green Thumb sara

This is a picture of my agave plant that I planted at my boyfriend's house and it has started to flourish. It looks pretty cool in the backyard. We also planted other plants such as Japonese boxwoods and wandering Jews. The wandering Jews got a lot of sun and have spread throughout the garden. We had to move them to a different area so they wouldnt get as much sun. There are a couple palm trees and some other schrubs.

My Babies

These are my two favorite little furballs, Wrigley and Lola. They are my little shih tzu dogs that are 6 years old and they have been there for me through tough times and great times. Anytime I am sad or lonely I go give them a hug or squeeze and it instantly makes me feel better. They are sometimes little rambunctious and do things that they shouldn't do, but I am patient and forgiving, so I let it slide at times. Lola is my special little lady that I got from a rescue shelter, and so she had a rough life before I got her. I bought Wrigley in Magnolia Texas from a breeder.

Land Ho

Today my boy friend Jason is supposed to be coming home from work...he works on a vessel out in the Gulf of Mexico. The vessel he works on is called the Viking Poseidon, and it's a very big ship. He is an ROV supervisor, so he does under water construction while operating robots. ROV stands for Robot Operated Vehicle. When he goes on a hitch, he is usually gone for one month and then he is home on land for one month. He was gone for Thanksgiving so I'm really excited to see him. Today they are to be sending out a helicopter to his vessel to pick him and a couple other guys up to bring them back to Houston, However, today is very windy and they don't fly helicopters when it is windy because it's too dangerous. His trip back home may be delayed and can be frusterating because I miss him a lot.

Happy Birthday miss Sandy

Yesterday was my dear friend Sandy's birthday. She invited me to go to dinner at a fantastic restaurant called Fogo de Choa with her family on Sunday night. I was planning on going to join her birthday festivities, but I was very ill and couldn't join the fun. I was bummed out because that is one of my favorite restaurants...the meast there is so good and some of the side dishes are to die for as well. To make it up to Sandy I took her out to breakfast yesterday morning to one of her favorite breakfast places which is the Cracker Barrel. It was delicious and we rocked in the chairs out in front of the restaurant.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Here is a picture of me in my work scrubs today before I go into work...Wishing everyone out there a wonderful turkey day! I have a lot to be thankful for...I have my health, my family, friends, teachers, co-workers, and just the friendly strangers that I meet. I am a long way from home, so I will be  without immediate family, but that is just fine because I am celebrating with my work family. I know it will be a joyous day when I get to work because I know I bring joy to my patients. I work with the elderly and sometimes their families are unable to make it to see them, and some people don't have families anymore. I love talking to them to cheer them up and just listen to their stories. They have been on this earth a lot longer than I have and they have had many life experiences that they share with me. Well, I'm about to leave for work. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Omaha is my Homaha

Hi ya'll...so I just got back from my fabulous getaway back to my hometown, Omaha, Nebraska. There were a couple occasions to celebrate while I was back including my 29th birthday and my younger sister had two baby showers.  The first day I got in I was picked up at the airport by my brother then went to my parents house to regroup before the first baby shower. My younger sister Katy and her husband Keith are expecting their first child in December and it's a girl! So my mom has bought the baby a ton of gifts already and she let me use some that she bought to give to my sister...because I'm a poor college student ;). The first shower was a lot of fun with good food, games, and presents. In one of the games my mom, my older sister Lynn, myself, and Katy had to chug apple juice from a baby bottle (which is harder than it looks)...Katy ended up winning. The next day was my birthday, so my older sister Lynn and my mom took me shopping and got me this awesome watch and a bracelet...love them! After that I went to Katy's doctor appointment and the doctor measured how big the baby was inside her, which was 5 lbs. Then, the whole family went out to eat, and to a piano bar after that. That was a fun night! The rest of my trip basically included hanging with the family and a second baby shower. Then I came back home to two very happy doggies to see their mama ...ME!
