Reserved Seating Usher

A couple weeks ago my mil told me a lady she goes to school with is in charge of the concerts that happen at DSC, and said they needed help the night of the David Archuleta concert. Am I a huge fan of him....No. Do I own his album....No. Did I follow him on American Idol....No. But I figured, why not, its free. So I said that I would help out.

I was assigned to be a door usher, along with my sister in laws. Once the show started we got to just sit and relax. And I must admit I enjoyed myself more than I thought I would (making fun of crazed teeny boppers proved to be rather enjoyable).

David did put on a really good show. He sang for about an hour and a half, with no breaks. His voice didn't crack and he showed no signs of getting tired. But you could def tell he's only 17 and still quite goofy. But all in all I must say I was rather impressed. One can't help but to admit, whether your an avid fan or not, that he does have an amazing voice.

Well I just had to show off how close I was to the stage(just one of the perks of being a "reserved seating usher"=] ). I could almost smell the sweat...(thats just for you Natalie) GO DAVID!! haha

No Bad News

We got the results back from the MRI.......Nothing major was wrong. He did have some minor narrowing and a couple other things. But the doc said it was nothing major. The good news totally made my day!

Thanks to all of you who kept us in your prayers, and who helped me not stress out :)

A little help in the prayer department...

For the past little while Jon has been getting these random back spasms that make it so he can't move. This week while he was at the chiropractor he just happen to get one of these spasms. And low and behold, the chiropractor told him that this isn't a good thing. He told him he needed to get an MRI because someone that young shouldn't be getting spasms, and that it could be Spinal Stenosis. What is Spinal Stenosis you may ask...

Spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spaces in the spine, resulting in compression of the nerve roots or spinal cord by bony spurs or soft tissues, such as disks, in the spinal canal.

When it comes to problems with the spine, I've always thought it was a serious thing. But I guess depending upon the severity, this may not be that bad. Although this is something that normally happens over time. So people that are 50, 60, and 70 years old are the ones who get this. So it is very abnormal for a 22 year old to have.

The MRI is scheduled for Monday evening. Hopefully everything is fine, and no surgery will be necessary. But if you would all keep him in your prayers, we'd truly appreciate it.

Random

Heres the other picture from the 80's party.

Me Jon, Zeffie, Brandon, Delecta, and Daryl

Zeffie and Brandon just got a new dog. Well the other day me and Jon went over there to babysit and Asher decided he wanted to get into the dog cage. We couldn't help but to take some pics.

I finally got a new name plate at work. This is what the old one was turned into.

(the bottom part was supposed to say Consumer Loan Processor) haha

And last but not least, last week at work me and one of my co-workers got kinda bored. She took her moms new valentines stuffed animal (that her mother adamantly told her not to touch) and brought it to work. We then took some pictures of it all around the work area and sent her an e-mail with them along with a story that was made up. This probably isn't very funny, one of those, you had to be there moments, but since this is like journaling, its mainly for me so I don't forget. So sorry for the weird entry.

The Adventures of Leonitus

The story of Leonitus begins in a faraway land. He started out as a young cub that was very adventurous. As any adolescent boy that moves through puberty and reaches young adulthood, he decided that he needed to get a job in order to acquire the things of his liking. Leonitus's first job was an adventure of discrimination, assimilation, hard work and love. This is that story......

Leo, as his co-workers called him, was a very hard worker and was willing to do anything to get ahead.

Leo got along very well with his co-workers. He loved talking with them and getting to know their stories. His days were full of work......

Smoke Breaks

Lunch Breaks

Bathroom Breaks and....

Scrounging for after lunch snacks in the Break Room.

After Leonitus was working for a while, he found that he was not treated the same as others. He had a hard, treacherous battle ahead of him with all the discrimination he was faced with. Leonitus was not special. Here he is with proof that others were treated so much better than he. They even had their own parking spots.

The work was hard but the pay was good. So, he stuck it out. He eventually started a relationship with a co-worker who ended up becoming his boss. Time passed and the relationship ended badly, Leonitus then decided his journey there was through. Who knows Leonitus could be anywhere. That brave soul will show up again......eventually.
