Yep, I'm New At This In Case You Couldn't Tell

Call me lazy, but I've never really taken the time to sit down and compose all of my thoughts into complete sentences. After my mom told me that (more than!) a few of my family members were big bloggers, I decided to give it a shot and see what I could come up with. I would love to get closer with my extended family, and I've enjoyed keeping up with all their crazy lives. Hopefully my blogs can be just as entertaining as their's once I get the hang of this! Between school, working full time for a nursing home, and also working as a Private Investigator part time, I hardly have time to fit in sleep, eating, and homework, much less blogging! Things have been a little trying here lately. My relationship with the Lord has definitely been tested, and I've been praying for God's strength and guidance more than ever. Thank goodness spring break is this coming week. I have a friend whose parents are flight attendants for Southwest Airlines, so I am flying to Orlando, Florida and staying for an entire week! It's been snowing here for two days, so I can't WAIT to be laying out on Daytona Beach in 90 degree weather. I also have a prayer request for anyone who might read this. My friend Jessica Villegas married a guy named Miguel a little over two years ago. She has a 4 year old son, and they are expecting their second son on March 26th. Miguel was on his way to work about 45 minutes from where we live, and his vehicle was struck by a semi pulling out of a feed lot. It crushed his arm, and they did surgery to remove it. While he was in the hospital, he became septic, meaning he had an infection in his blood. He was put on a ventilator and IV antibiotics, but they did no good. He passed away yesterday night, and his funeral will be on Monday afternoon. Please pray for Jessica, their son Xavier, and the baby she is about to have. Anyways, I have got to get to bed now. It's almost 2am. YIKES!
