The Plumber

As of now I have acquired the 4 years as a Apprentice Plumber. I Will now have to go and take my State Test to become a full fledge plumber. I feel like I just went through 4 years of College.

Having my wisdom teeth pulled...

Yep kinda felt like that
lol I wish... its expressive! lol mmm man I forgot to ask for the teeth,I coulda put them under my pillow...lol
Well lets see... mmm it felt like I was in a Boxing match a 1, 2, jab to the jaw..ouch I look it too! lol left side cheek is swollen more then the right... my lips are crack and bloody, Cheeks and face is black and blue. yep is was quite a fight... it was unfair 3 of them to me! lol if any one has to have this done in future i would recommend being put to sleep...unless your feeling tough and don't mind your teeth being cracked out of your jaw CRAACKKK!
lol let me recount my wonderful time there(don't get me wrong I NEEDED to have them done its better in the long run) I had 2x (bottom) impacted/bony teeth, 1x half impacted, and 1x half way out.... they started by shooting almost 12 syringes using a 4" horse needle they found in a barn lol OK not but it was still a 4"needle That was to make me "NUMB" which for the most of the time i was....both nurses were surprised i was not being put to sleep... "wow that's brave" lol great! should i start to worry... so i sat there waiting for my face to get "numb" and to start swelling my lip and nose... making my face start to slide off( well that's what it feels like!) the only thing i could think of was a county song that went "And He started to drill before i was numb" lol But my Doc. was real good about it, He would keep shooting me up with the stuff. The first tooth( top right, the half impacted) first he cut, sliced, and diced then stuck in a screwdriver and started to pry it up lol he kept push and twisting and pulling all at the same time. I was starting to think he's gona crack my jaw and it wont be his fault cause I sighed that release form that said HE IS NOT RESPONSABLE IF THE JAW IS BROKEN! AHHH But next thing is he starts to stitch me up! wow that was easy haa that wasn't bad 1 down 3 to go... then it hit me you do the easy one first! AHHHHHH lol they started on the next one felt like he was cutting a 3" gap in my mouth uhh then he grab is torture drill for making people talk but I Didn't know what he wanted! He drilled done the middle of the tooth then switch tools, inserted it down the middle and started to push HARD and Twist... till... CRACK! they split it in pieces... uhh ahhh all went blank as i decided to pass out! lol nope remember I WAS AWAKE FOR THE WHOLE THING. so he started to pull and yank out the pieces, drill some more, more yanking.then the fun part drilling down the Jaw bone Bzzz bzzz bzzz Splat... suck up that blood nurse...lol needle and stitches... by this time I was sweating so much the Doc. had to call in another nurse to dry me off AND WHY SHOULDN'T I BE SWEATING HE'S CRACKING MY TEETH! well the 3rd. tooth went about the same, more drilling tho... i was tapping my fingers very fast at this point lol Finlay the last tooth uhh could I take any more! He went straight for the foresep and started yanking, pulling and twisting... holding my head back feeling him pull my tooth out of the jaw bone...pop it was out jammed in some gauze and said YOUR DONE! What HAHA HAHA IM DONE I'M ALIVE ! LOL
Well I live,well if I don't STARVE TO DEATH! A MAN NEEDS SOLIDS AND STEAK! lol It was quite the trip but you can live though it. well i think thats it, I need to ice again. lol I find it works best if you wrap your head with pre-wrap around the ice holding it to your face, yes you look like a Mummy or terrorist but hey it works...

Life is never dull! (As a Plumber)

Today Luke B. and I worked together, our last job turned into quite the job... A guys Ejector pump (Big sump pump with a blender) was out, its the one that handles all the water and waste in a basement. Well when we got there I saw we were in for some trouble! lol the pit was located behind a GIANT water heater and next to a furn-es. Luke had to crawl through the piping at the top of the water heater then let himself down, it was VERY cramped down there.....
and the pumps are pretty heavy to pull out.
But we got it... even though we got pretty dirty. lol lol not something you see everyday! Luke and I were changing out a toilet. The owner had been gone for a week, so the toilet had not been used for awhile... when I lifted the lid to start to remove it... I was surprised to find a whole bunch of baby mosquito's in there! lol that new!

I had a pretty hard week in the sense that my body was taking a beating... pulled a long shard of glass from my hand, was really deep. Sliced my finger with a screw. Burned my arm 3-4 times on a very hot pipe, and my left cheek,right under my eye... lol nothing to damaging! but they all sting and bug me! lol

but this is all in a days work, joyful at the idea that each day is new, to see what my life brings...

Happy Birthday to a Wonderful Sister!

lol I my self do not care care for Pickles, but Abbey and Justin have always, and Josh to from the looks of it! lol
Happy Birthday Abbey, It's been great to grow up with you... to see you change and grow with each new year!

These past days....

This past week end has been quite busy; I started Friday as any other day, got into my work truck and happen to look down... ekk lol the week before i had gotten some acid on my pants. After you wash them they become a little bit holier then before... well the holes at the knees were not the problem lol it was the ones up higher lol why did a have to wear my superman boxers that day!( just kidding!) wasn't to bad just kept pulling my shirt down all day...
Day 2 (Sat.) 3:15 WAKE UP WAKE UP! lol it was time to leave. Dad and I had a flight to W.Virgina to catch. Mom, Wendy, and Justin had drove there earlier this week, taking my car(it happens to get the best M.P.G. (35) ) We were all going there for a Family Reunion. It's a great time, lol We can be a quite load and fun loving group! we spent all day Sat. at the reunion, then late into the night playing cards and stuff with some of the cousins....
Day 3 (Sun.) Get up, had A nice Breakfast, and drove to our Grannies house. (Mom's Grandma) late that night dad and I drove to a hotel next to the Airport... and slept ...
Day 4 (early Mon. getting ready to fly back Home.... got to go...

This past few Days!

lol Justin dancing on the top of my car!

Lightning Strike!

Well the other day when we had that big rain storm come through I had a close call with one of Zeus lightning bolts! lol OK No I don't believe that... But it was QUITE AMAZING! I was standing out side under a over hang which barely kept the rain off which was OK because it the rain was stopping... I was on the phone with my boss talking... when the phone started to buzz, i could not hear my boss any more. A loud humming in the air kept getting louder and louder... then bright flashes of light exploding everywhere... a trumpet sound and a white horse and rider followed...... lol OK not that last part... but the flashes of light were really beautiful, popping all over, static electricity in the air... building, building when... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKPwkau0Dh0 CAAAABOOM! it made me jump back and take cover! my phone died, tingling all over my body... it was truly Amazing lol I was fine hair was a little on end but fine. The Raw power of it, unbelievable. God sure does know how to create something...
(That video was not mine but it was so so close to what happened to me, thought i'd use it!)

Our Savior

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMJox5-K5jU
Lead me to the cross;

took upon Himself the sins the world...
Became the Sacrifice...
took our punishment...
felt our shame...
Died for our wrongs...
And yet...

For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotton Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

I will not be moved!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyEMJBhCtU8 I will not be moved. by Natalie Grant

Have you built your life on Jesus Christ our solid rock? Is he the foundation you stand on? Do you walk though life's struggles holding on to the only thing that can stand firm!

Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the Rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on the house, But it did not Fall, because it had been founded on the Rock. (Matthew 7:24-25)

We All Struggle, we all fall down, we take beatings that we think we will never get up from, But the truth is God is there wait. He will be our Strong tower, our Rock, The Solid Foundation we need to build our lives on...... just ask.

So I decided to talk about something near and dear to my heart... Bread Pudding

A Reason...

A man always has two reasons for doing anything; A good reason and a real reason. Let us be like the man of the frontier and always reveal with utmost honesty our real reasons for all that we do. [J.P. Morgan(1837-1913)]

To my Loving Parents!

IF...

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about , don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

IF you can dream- and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to be broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn out tools;

IF you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the will which says to them: "Hold on"

IF you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings- nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run-
Yours is the earth and everything thats in it,
And - which is more- you'll be a Man, my Son!
