This is the way we go to the dentist, go to the dentist, go to the dentist.
This is the way we go to the dentist so early in the morning.
Yep, that's true. Bright and early at 9 AM we went to pick up Jesse's grandma and headed out to the dentist. Our appointments started at 10. Since this was the first time visit for me there at Jesse's dentist I had to fill out a medical form. So... I filled it out with all the correct answers and checks and stuff. You see, I am a college graduate so I can read and write and answer questions "correctly". I got to this section where you check "yes" or "no" and started filling it out. I skipped one question needing to ask something about it and continued on down. Then I had to skip another question. This is when I noticed that while I was putting a "no" check for all these questions, that I had misread where the "no" and "yes" were. So instead of saying "no" to do you have cancer, do you smoke, do you have aids - I was putting "yes". Uggggg, I felt so stupid, so dumb. I went up to the receptionist and told her that I had made a mistake (hoping she would give me a new paper) but all she did was put wriggly lines though all my mistake answers and put a single solitary check on "no".
Well, there is a good note to all this.
I DON'T HAVE CAVETIES!!!!

Day Care maybe
For some weeks or even months I have been thinking of doing something for a few hours a week. A job maybe but I didn’t really know what I wanted or where I was thinking of heading. Well, on Sunday there was an announcement in the church bulletin about sub needed for the school day care. So I have filled out an application and will find out later this week or maybe next week if I have a job as a substitute day care worker.

Itsuki's surfing
No, I am not talking about surfing the web. If you recall a while back I had written all that Itsuki would or could do on the computer.
Anyway I am talking about real surfing but not the time you would do on the water.
Ok ok I can hear you all shouting GET TO THE POINT.
We have a TV table in our computer room. On top of the table is a small rectangular box about 2 inches high and about 7 by 10 in width and length.
Itsuki ran into the room and jumped up on the table. Unfortunatly she landed on the box that continued to move with Itsuki's velocity. Just as it came to the other side of the table the box and Itsuki slid to a stop. Itsuki looked at us like "good, I am safe" and then PLOP both box and Itsuki first teetered and then fell to the ground.
Ok, so it was funny the first time but then about 5 minutes later Itsuki did the very same thing. So did she have a short memory span and forget about it or did she like it so much that she tried to do it again?
who knows.

plumbing problems
I have thought of Rebecca and her fixing up the bathroom a lot this past month.
Why? you ask.
Thanks for asking!
Sometime about a month ago the toilet started not flushing properly. Basically it would overflow.
To make a long story short, Jesse fixed it and now we have a working toilet. And I have a bathroom to clean.

Itsuki
Itsuki, who is really Jesse's kitten but has made me her person, is one of the most loveable, friendly, and trusting kitten/cat I have ever seen. She lets me holdher like a little baby (back down, stomach up). Recently though, she has made Jesse her person and Rascal is taking a better liking to me.
She is our alarm clock ... at 5:00AM. She loves rubbing noses with you. All she wants is for you to touch her and to hold her. One time I was looking at recipes and she wanted me to hold her. I picked her up and held her with her right legs hanging down one side of my arm and the left legs the other side. Her head was between two of my fingers. She just sat there and "read" along with me as I flipped the pages.
There is only one way to lay down in bed acording to Itsuki. That is on your back. If she finds me or Jesse on our stomach she will push her little head against our chin and "try" to push us over. She will meow and push and meow some more. She won't give up until you turn over. The she leaps up on use and proceeds to make herself confortable.
This is possibly the first picture I took of Rascal and Itsuki. Rascal is on the left and Itsuki is on the right. Itsuki had bitten out her stickes and had to wear a collar in order for her wound to heal. I think the look cute.
This last picture is of Itsuki sleeping on the desk. She seems soooooo comfortable. (I wouldn't be.)

Rascal
OUR LITTLE RASCAL
Rascal and the other felines in our family love playing with boxes.
It is very hard to write about Rascal and not include Itsuki. Also most pictures have both kittens in them. But I will try to give each on a seperate post.
Rascal can be discribed in one word: rascal. Yup she is a rascal. Oh and yes Rascal is a female. All our kitties are female just in case you didn't realize that.
OK, back to Rascal. Jesse says that Rascal is how Sakura was when she was little. For that reason Sakura really doesn't like Rascal. Oh she tolerates her but if Rascal starts playing with her or gets too close, PLUNK, plunk plunk. Sakura doesn't hesitate in showing Rascal that she is displeased with something.
Rascal is also very curious. She will be the one to climb up on to something to examine it. And if I or Jesse comes into the room, PLOP, she jumps down from where she is and runs away. Expecially if it is in the kitchen. She has learned that the counters, kitchen table, china cabinet, and desk in the bedroom are all off limits and are all also good places to stimulate her curiousity. BUT that doesn't stop her from getting on them. She will just run and hid for a few minutes and then come back and ask forgiveness for doing wrong.
She loves to get under the covers and sleep between my legs. Oh and she also LOVES to clean everyone. She has done my entire face about 2 or 3 times. And she also makes sure Jesse's arm hairs are in perfect formation.
Recently she has been cuddling with me a lot. That is very suprizing because she doesn't like to be cuddled or held like a little baby. But lately she has taken a real liking to stuff like that. Jesse says it is possibly because she is sorry for the "bad" things she does and comes to me for forgiveness.
We bought a play mouse for Sakura before we got the kittens, but now Rascal has claimed it and so Sakura will have no use to it. Rascal will flip it up into the air and then catch it. She will bat it around and chase it. And she carries it around EVERYWHERE in her mouth.
By the way, Rascal is my kitty. All the others are Jesse's except for Tomoyo who is no ones. Jesse told me to say that Rascal is up for adoption but NO CAN DO! He would have to put me up for adoption WITH her!!!!!

Long time no post
Sorry guys and gals - we have been a little busy and lax in our posting. Not that there wasn't things to write about but ... well... time just flew.
I had a sinus infection that really put me down for a while. And Jesse has been on Safari with Theodore Roosevelt. (Arsenic and Old Lace)
Thought we should say that we are ok and still kicking.

"The Cougar"
Here is a sizing reference for Sakura, or as she is known, "The Lion", or "The Cougar" (someone at work gave her that name today, after having seen this picture) That same co-worker, a few days ago, told the story of a huge cat a friend of his has. I took the information he provided, looked it up on the Internet, and found it to be a Maine Coon Cat. I never thought Sakura was "big" I just thought other cats were small. Point being, I saw the statistics on the Maine Coon Cat, and quite a few of them reminded me very much of Sakura. We do not know anything about Sakura's father; what do you think?
Time is fun when you are having flies
The principle of the Jr. High school where I served lunch for about 7 years always says "Time is fun when you are having flies." And while I am talking about him...I was able to go visit him and the school last Tuesday.
I went up to BJU for the day. A friend of mine wanted to go with me, so Jesse and I left home early and we passed by her house. Then I drove Jesse to work and continued merrily on our way to BJU. We got there around 9:30ish. I got to visit with some people at the Dining Common (that is where I worked up until I got married). It was wonderful to see people that I had know for a long time. Then for lunch I went to the Jr. High and was allowed to eat lunch there as a guest. It was great to see the 8th graders. I was quite surprised because I remembered many of them. There were some of the kids that asked me where I had been. I don't know why they didn't catch on back in May when we told them that I "was leaving and getting married". OH, well - that is Jr. High for you.
After visiting with the teachers, secretary, and principal I went to go see other friends. I parked the car, got out, and went to get my wedding pictures and my purse from the back seat. I found my wedding pictures but couldn't find my purse. While I was standing there trying for the life of me to remember where my purse was, a good friend of mine, John, walked up to say Hi. We went over to speak to his wife. I told them that I had lost my purse. As I was leaving to go back to the car John told me that as he was walking back to his office he would be praying that I find my purse. Then all of the sudden I blurted out "I left it at the Jr. High." Praise God. He answers prayer (I don't even think John had begun to pray). After getting my purse and parking in the same parking space I had been in before finding out that I had left my purse, I went to go see more friends. I showed my wedding pictures to many people. Then around 5 we started to head back to the car to leave. I don't think we actually left BJU until 5:30. We made it back to Columbia and I was able to spend a good amount of time with my little kitties and with my Honey.
We have only one more Saturday of soccer. We had tons of fun on Saturday. We won. It was sooooooo cold that most of the kids had jackets on. I did too. After coaching one game, I refereed the next game.
After soccer I went to the store and got some food. While there I decided that I didn't want to cook so I picked up a roasted chicken. It was good.
Tonight we are going to a Harvest Festival that the church is putting on. The kids can go dressed up as long as it is nice. For example, they said dressing up as Mickey Mouse and other characters like that is fine. I assume they don't want you to dress up like witches and ugly thing like that. There is going to be a dunk tank, pie in the face booth, bobbing for apples, and other things. Admission is a bag of candy. They will then distribute the candy into little bags for the kids.
Jesse and I were up and ready early for church this Sunday. Why? Well, we didn't move are clocks back. It was nice to not have to rush though.

Soccer and Pictures
Ok face it - until soccer season is done here at the churches youth league you will be hearing about soccer after every Saturday. Why? Because I love soccer! I am so happy to be able to help out with soccer and more importantly that Jesse encourages me in it. I talked to Jesse's Grandma about it because I was feeling a little discourage. Not with soccer but the other coaches. When I volunteered to coach we had a meeting that same day with all the coaches. The person in charged is actually the PE teacher for the school or the Coach as most people call him. Well, I will just refer to him as Head Coach. Anyway he mentioned that we could have a team verse, prayer time with the team, and practically whatever we wanted to do. This is an outreach to the church kids and some other kids that find out about it.
So I wrote up a Bible Verse. Thanks to Mom I have watched her write up songs and Bible Verses all the time I was growing up so I knew how to do it so it would look good. Next I wrote up a little cheer "We are the Hawks" not much but these are 4-5 year olds. I repeat the verse and the cheer every game before and after. I have looked at the other coaches and it seems that all they care about is playing, playing, and winning. Jesse's Grandma really helped me when she told me "You keep doing what you are doing. Let the other coaches do what they want but you take good care of you team."
So I decided that I would do just that. Oh, and what an excitement to me when after our game we said our verse and then Benjamin took the cheer out and said "I want to hold it" I didn't even have to say we were going to say it he took over and did it. I was actually thinking of not saying it. But we shouted out our cheer and everyone was very happy. I love these little kids and I am always telling them how good they are.
Another thing that happen, was that Benjamin fell and skinned his knee. Well, I took him to the sidelines and started to wipe off his knee with water. One of the parents helps me in the game so I just let him take over. Benjamin's mother came on over and after a few seconds she said "Coach you go back to game I take care of Benjamin" I was called "Coach". I really wasn't expecting that but it felt great.
Then I had this little girl who didn't want to play. I put her in anyway because her mom told me to make her play. One time when the ball was very close to out goal I told her to keep the ball from going into the goal. You should have seen her. She was hopping back and forth between two cones. One cone was the goal cone the other cone was the sideline cone. But she was very enthusiastic about keeping the ball from passing her. She did need to be over between the two goal cones but before I could move her the other team scored. I did praise her for doing such a good job. After that it seemed like her heart was in the game more.
Ok, I mentioned pictures in the title and I promise you the pictures do go with soccer. We had team pictures this Saturday. Our t-shirts are green ... lime green. I would rather have had a darker color of green but hey it was a free shirt. Umm free yea I suppose I did pay for it by giving up my Saturday mornings BUT I would not trade that time for anything. Oh yes back to the pictures. So Head Coach comes up to me and ask if it would be ok if we could let another team use two of our shirts because two kids from another team but same color shirt forgot theirs. Some parents standing with me said that it would be fine. We went over to stand in line. Two boys surrendered their shirts and the other team was able to get a team picture and the two girls were able to get their individual pictures done. Meanwhile I had one parent talking to me saying that those girls should have to have their pictures done in the shirts they brought because our team had all their team shirts. I mentioned to him that I had called all my team to make sure that everyone would have their team shirt. Then he went on about that the other coach should have .... But he then repented about what he said and told me he was sorry he had such a bad attitude about it. Meanwhile I was thinking along the same lines about the other team and those shirts. But it all turned out well. The boys got their shirts back and we had our individual pictures done. I stood behind the photographer and made silly faces to get the kids to smile/laugh. Then we all got together for a team picture. It was a great experience that I don't want to experience again but will if I coach next year. (Hint hint Jesse) lol.

Expensive Hobbies
Some people draw, some garden, still other cook or sew. Me? Why did I have to like the expensive hobbies? <( I like A. Electronics, and B. Flight, so my hobbies are Building Computers ($300 at least), Building Servo Robots ($500 at least) and a new hobby that I discovered to be reasonably affordable a few days ago, building RC Helicopters ($75 at least) The only problem with my "newly discovered" hobby is that now Corene will probably start seeing little flying things all over the house. Hey, maybe I'll even invent a little kitten helicopter that straps to the back. Hmmmmmmmm...
For real the 23rd post
Well, it isn't my 23rd post but it is THE 23rd post. So I thought I would post the 23rd post right now. Then I would comment on my 5th sentence to see what it says about me. Now that I am trying to write something nothing comes. I do love my husband and we love our kitty cats. Cute as cute can be are these adorable creatures God created.
Ok, now to comment on my 5th sentence. As you can see it says "I do love my husband and we love our kitty cats. "
MMMM, I suppose that would say about me that our house abound in love.
Well, I had fun with this one!!

Tomoyo
These pictures are of Tomoyo some time ago before Jesse and I got married.
"No one around, I am safe"
"WHAT! how dare you take my picture!"
"And I thought hiding between these two chairs was clever"
"You mean you can see me under here?"
"Alright! Take my picture" grrrr
Tomoyo is our little "rat"
But we don't tell her that.
We wouldn't want to hurt the cat.
Ok enough with rhyming.
Actually she doesn't really look like a rat in real life but each time we try to take a picture of her it turns out to look like a ...ummm... rat.
The cutest rat in history. Wait, that's not a rat it is a cat!
Sakura found Tomoyo and brought her to Jesse. Jesse adopted her but she never did really warm up to him. Oh yea, she does sort of warm up when he is gone for a long time ie. when he "lost" them when moving and then when he "found" them 4 days later she rub around his legs. But it is only at times like that. Also when we come home after a long time she is more loving to him.
Actually synonyms for Tomoyo would be "shy" and "loyal". Shy to humans and loyal to the cat (Sakura) who saved her. She is warming up to us. For instance she sleeps on the floor in the bedroom and she does make herself more promonant during the evening.
Ok, the next segment will be of Rascal or Itsuki I haven't made up my mind.

Sakura
This is our oldest cat, Sakura
A Siamese that Jesse got out of the engine of a car when she was just a few weeks old. Oh, that was about four years ago.
Now with four years and about 20 more pounds she is now affectionately called "The Lion". A name given to her by some college students.
DON'T MESS WITH ME!
Some aggravating things about her (to me) are:
1. She gets under the kitchen counters to hide.
2. She opens the laundry door (where there is a big hole that the kittens might escape through as I mentioned on Friday .)
Ah, resting, peace and quiet.
Oh did I mention that those two things are remedied? Yes, first I finally was able to clean out the cat hair and then store kitchen stuff under the counter. Now she doesn't have room to go under. he he he I am so smart! :) The second thing was remedied by the laundry door falling down and making a loud noise. It scared her and she hasn't done it since!! .
EXCUSE ME, LEAVE ME ALONE
A Siamese that Jesse got out of the engine of a car when she was just a few weeks old. Oh, that was about four years ago.Now with four years and about 20 more pounds she is now affectionately called "The Lion". A name given to her by some college students.
DON'T MESS WITH ME!
Some aggravating things about her (to me) are: 1. She gets under the kitchen counters to hide.
2. She opens the laundry door (where there is a big hole that the kittens might escape through as I mentioned on Friday .)
Ah, resting, peace and quiet.

Some wonderful things I think about her are:
1. She likes me to pet her whenever I sit down. She runs up to me and wants me to scratch her back. A few months ago that area was a "if you touch my back I WILL bite YOU".
2. She loves to sleep by me. That is so special because she IS really Jesse's cat but then she started wanting to be more with me and that made me feel wanted by her.
I love Jesse's bookbag.
Please let me sleep.
She is reverting back to her kitten years after being around our little kittens for about a month now. It is so funny to see her try to do things they do.
Well, that is about Sakura. Later I will write about Tomoyo.

Fudgy brownies
Yesterday I decided to make some brownies. We were going to some friends house for supper and to watch this special edition on the life of Albert Einstine so I thought this would be addition. I made fudgy brownies because Jesse likes them better that way. I also agree that they are good fudgy. One thing is that this recipe was really crumbly. I left them in as long as they told me to but I think they needed a little bit more time in the oven.

My 23rd post - Hey, I don't have 23 posts
I opened my big mouth and well... got caught. I thought that I would divide 23 in half (that would be 11.5) and would use that post. Creativity is good for the mind isn't it? So if you all don't mind... that is what I am going to do.
Here are the instructions:
1. Search your blog archive.
2. Find your 23rd post.
3. Find the fifth sentence (this is meant to say something about you).
4. Post that sentence in your blog along with these instructions.
5. Tag five people to do the same
My 23 divide by 2 blog is .... scare of a life time .
The fifth sentence is "For all I knew they might just be sleeping in the big chair they always sleep in."
What does this mean aabout me. umm... That I believe cats sleep all the time? or that I wish I could sleep all the time like the cats do?
No to tag 5 people. Well, lets see...
Hey, the people who read my blogs are the people already tagged. So now what should I do.
Well I will tag Sarah and Aunt Jeannie.
Have fun

Today is special
By the way, just thought I would let you all know that today 2:00 (no it should be 2:20pm) EST Jesse and I will have been married 4 months. It's great guys. Yeaaaaaaaa.
My Daddy is braver than your Daddy
Kids normally have discussions (if you can call it that) about whose daddy / mommy / grandpa/ etc is better than whose. Well, since reading Sarah's blog this one story kept popping into my head. I really don't know all the details since I do believe I was between 3-5 years old. Maybe older but I don't know. Anyway this is what I've been remembering.
My parents are missionaries in Mexico and back when the church Dad started was young, we met in a member's apartment. There were about 50 people attending at that time. After the evening service (I think) there was a big commotion outside. A man and his wife were standing out under a thin, 5-6 foot tree. There were soldiers all around them. I don't know why or what was happening. Either the adults told the teenage girls or the girls did it on their own, but I remember being herded into a room with all the girls and we were told to be quite. They even turned off the lights out of fear but when the younger kids started crying because it was dark they turned them back on. Then I remember being allow out to the living room again. And one of the older girls took me to the window and pointed down to the commotion. There right outside the circle of soldiers (surrounding that man and wife) were a single file line of people walking out to the road to either get to their cars or to walk home. At the front of the line was my dad walking with his head held high with a confident stride. That girl pointed at my dad and said "See there, your dad is brave to be leading all the church people out through the soldiers."
This was all that I remember but again I say MY DADDY IS BRAVER THAN YOUR DADDY.
