I am so excited I can barely stand it! I get to go home tonight!! It turns out that the Hinsons have room in their van for me AND the route they take home just happens to pass about 20 minutes from my parents house. They don't even have to drive out of their way to take me because my mom can pick me up along their route, YAY!!! Plus, I haven't gotten to spend much time with the Hinsons over the last few months and I think a 6ish hour car ride should help make up for that. :) I had hoped to be back on Monday so I wouldn't miss God Squad, but the Hinsons aren't coming back until Tuesday. It still works out great though, I can do my AIM work from my parents house on Monday...and probably get my Tuesday stuff done since I won't be going to God Squad that night. I HATE missing God Squad, but I think this will be the first one in 3 years...so I think they will survive. Plus, I get to spend more time with my family!!! Oh, and I don't have to drive for 7 hours by myself!!!! I thought about flying back on Monday, but the cheapest flight was $140, and it would require my mom to drive me an hour and a half to the Raleigh airport...and then an hour and a half home. That verses a free ride back to Philly with people I REALLY enjoy being around....in the end it was a pretty easy decision. :)
I don't think we have any grand Thanksgiving plans. My family is small with no kids, so Thanksgiving is pretty low key; which I really like. Of course, there is the annual Virginia vs. Virginia Tech game, which will be so great to watch. I can't remember the last time I didn't watch that game with my family. In fact, I think this will be 27 years in a row that I have watched that game, either live or on TV, with my family. How cool is that?!?
Of course, this sudden change of plans means that my house won't be quite as clean as I want it to be before I leave. Actually, its pretty clean, just not perfect. :) I spent all day today running my last minute errands and got everything finished! I got a tire fixed on my car, copies of my house key made (because people keep taking them home with them...Brooke and Rich!), toiletry shopping, picked up the free turkey I earned at Pathmark (that will go to Bonita and Linda for Thanksgiving), and got my blood pressure checked (I continue to defy traditional medicine as I am considered obese yet have none of the complications that are supposed to be associated with my weight...my blood pressure, and everything else, is as healthy as I could possibly be!). Now I have to pack in a hurry and then get ready for Kids Club. I am praying for over 100 kids tonight! Its raining outside, which typically means smaller numbers, so it will be an even bigger deal if we get over 100!
I should be able to update while I am at home, although my parents still have dial up Internet (stone age!, hehe). My friend Joy is taking care of Gizmo while I'm away. She's great because she doesn't just feed him, she spends time with him...which he needs. He freaks out if he's alone for too long. In fact, when I came home he was downstairs on the couch. Now that I am upstairs in my "office", he is sleeping on the bed right next to my desk. He LOVED all the chaos of the weekend because there were always people around to pet him and talk to him (yes, he is a great listener). Oh how weird my cat is! :)
Alright, I'm off for now. Virginia here I come!!!

Kyler said Trish!!!!!
Today was a very good day full of a lot of good surprises, the greatest of which came when Paxton called me to remind me that I owe him a movie date (which I completely forgot about, but am very excited about!). After I talked to Paxton for a minute, Kyler decided he wanted to talk to me as well (he is 18 months old). He was laughing and giggling and making me smile when I heard Carisa say, "say Trish"...to which he very clearly responded, "Trish!". At first I thought it was Paxton trying to help him say it, but it was in fact Kyler saying my name!! That totally made my day!!! The Hinson kids are top on my list of favorite kids in the world. Unfortunately for me (not for the Hinsons though, haha), Frank and Carisa have a teenager living in their house that is able to help take care of the kids so I don't spend as much time with Kyler as I did with Paxton when he was younger...and I don't spend as much time with Paxton anymore either (which makes me even more excited about our movie date). I still have the goal of someones first word being Trish...but Kyler learning my name will do just fine for now. :)
In other exciting news, the leak in my bathroom is fixed and my washer and dryer are hooked up and working!! The washer has a broken part, but thanks to a metal plate, some duct tape and a strategically placed nail, it works nonetheless. The washer is currently washing everything I own!! Oh, and the pilot light on my furnace is also lit, so I now have heat!! Yay!! Both Franks spent a good amount of time helping me out today and I will never be able to repay them. Frank V. is also coming over later this week to switch my outlets from 2 prong to 3 prong so I can significantly lower the rick of me blowing up my house. Whew! :)
I also got a phone call today from the mother of the person who owes me money and she assured me that a check for the full amount owed to me is on its way to my house. That is a HUGE weight off my shoulders and I am so thankful that I didn't have to actually go to court. She was very nice and apologetic as well, which was a blessing.
It seems like literally almost every single thing I wrote in my blog yesterday was answered today. How good is God?!? I still have scary people and dogs living on my block, but I know God has that under control as well. I am still very excited to go home. I have decided to leave early Wednesday. I think I can still avoid most of the traffic, and I would prefer that to driving until 4 or 5 in the morning. I just got the EZ Pass, so at least I won't get stopped at tolls! :)

New Ceiling!!!
After a weekend of hard work, here is the new ceiling in my kitchen!!
Beautiful!!! Okay...so its not quite finished. Turns out that the leak in my bathroom was not a simple fix, so that ended up taking up most of their time. Unfortunately, the leak is still there, but it is much smaller than it was and the major work is finished. They also worked on hooking up my washer and dryer. Apparently there were some problems there as well, so the washer is ready to go but not the dryer. I have to admit I am disappointed. Not about the ceiling, cosmetic stuff doesn't really bother me. I know they worked hard, and got a lot done...but nothing was actually finished...and I can't finish any of the things they started. So, unfortunately I have to ask more favors of people here in order to get things done. Thankfully, my friend Frank V. said he could come over and help me. Frank H. worked with my group all weekend and has already put way too much time, effort, energy and money into my house. I am about to wear out my welcome, if I haven't already. :)
My weekend was really fun, but EXHAUSTING!!! My group arrived around 2 a.m. on Friday morning, so I didn't sleep much. Usually Fridays are not busy AIM days, but this Friday was different. I actually ended up working until almost 5. I spent the evening helping get things set up for our church Thanksgiving lunch today and then headed to all night bowling at 11:30. We had a BLAST at bowling, but I didn't get to bed until 6:30 a.m.!!
I took a good nap at my friend Shera's house (there were people working at my house) and woke up feeling a cold coming on. I managed to catch up with the group and spend some good time with them until around 7 when we had a worship night with some of the teens. We didn't have a ton show up, but it was still a good time. After worship a bunch of us went out to eat and I again didn't get to bed until about 2 or 3 in the morning.
Church was good today, but I was so tired. I got home around 3 (after saying good bye to my group) and took a 4 hour nap. It felt SO GOOD!!! I'm still tired, but recovering. I really want to drive home on Tuesday night, so I need to be well rested this week!
It is definitely time for me to go home. To go home and completely be away from Philly. I don't often talk completely honestly about things that go on...but things are really difficult right now. There is a friend of mine that owes me $1500 (he borrowed it over a year ago) and is now refusing to even take my calls much less pay me back...so I am having to pursue legal action against him. I have no idea how to do that...but I have no other options. Several new people have moved onto my block, one of whom is a very serious drug dealer that is also involved in dog fighting. In fact, I was almost attacked by one of his dogs this week. He and his dogs are very scary. Its the first time in 5 years I have been afraid of where I live.
Kids Club has the most kids that we have had in a long time, which is AWESOME, but also overwhelming considering I just started leading Kids Club barely 2 months ago. We are also having more and more girls get involved with our teen ministry. Again...AWESOME, but overwhelming.
Then there's my house, my part-time job, my debt, my lack of support raising...and I won't even go into what goes on in my head throughout the day. :)
I continue to have an AMAZINGLY supportive family, but when things are hard for me, they bear that burden as well. (And vice versa). Sometimes life feels like the 4 of us against the world...which makes living so far away hard. (This does not mean that I have any plans to move!). :)
I don't have an incredibly busy week, other than AIM work and cleaning up the mess from the weekend. I am not looking forward to the drive home, but I am definitely looking forward to being home!!!

Workin on my house...again...THANK GOODNESS!!!
I am once again banished from my house...but this does not bother me at all! A group from my church is here again this weekend finishing up some work on my house (specifically...hopefully...putting the ceiling into my kitchen and hooking up my washer and dryer). They are also going to go bowling with us tonight (its our annual Teen All Night Bowling...and we're not kidding about the all night part...11 p.m.-5 a.m.!) and will host a teen worship night tomorrow night. Its so exciting to have familiar faces around!! And even nicer when they are wearing Virginia Tech sweatshirts! :)
As a reminder, here is what my ceiling looks like right now...
Stay tuned to see the final product!!!
I did manage to get my house very clean before they came. Every inch has been dusted, vacuumed, scrubbed...my house is clean!! (Except for the steps...I did not vacuum the steps; whoops). I don't think the mess from this weekend will be as bad as last time. They don't have to move furniture or appliances, nor is there any painting or sanding...and those are the things that caused the most mess last time. I promise I am not complaining though...I have a FOR REAL KITCHEN!!! :)
As you can see, this is going to be a busy weekend!! The group didn't get in until almost 2 a.m., so I was up pretty late, but had to get up and start work by 9. Tonight we will be bowling until 5 a.m. I am taking a nap at a friend's house afterwards since the group will still be working at my house. Then tomorrow night is the worship evening...which is guaranteed to last quite a while (and I mean that in a good way!). Sunday is one of our biggest church services of the year as we serve a Thanksgiving dinner afterwards. We are expect about 250 people in church!!!
I think I am heading home Tuesday night after Kids Club because I don't want to get stuck in traffic all day Wednesday. We'll see how tired I am at that point though. :) Either way, I will crash when I get to my parents' house...but they are used to that. :)

93 Kids!!!
We had 93 kids at Kids' Club tonight! That is the biggest group that we have had since I've been here!! It was insane!!! Actually, the kids were pretty well behaved, the leaders were the ones with the problems, haha. We had several leaders come late, a few not show up and some fun computer things to work out. At one point Frank told me to stall so I resorted to counting kids and getting them excited about how many people we had there, haha. They were VERY into it and we now have an unofficial competition going on to see which age group will be the biggest (the 10 year olds always win hands down, but that doesn't seem to faze the younger ones). So, despite the technical difficulties, we had a GREAT night!!! I am hoping we can break 100 next week!!! I'm finding myself really enjoying Kids Club, even the upfront part. I had the fleeting thought today that I would be willing to take Kids Club over...but there is no way I could do that as long as I have a part time job. And some recent events have made the need for that part time job even greater. In fact, I'm trying to figure out how I can swing working more hours for AIM while not completely burning out. :) We'll just have to see what God's plan is!!
Another exciting thing for me tonight was Meredith (her name has been changed here). She is a friend of Bonita and Linda's that came to church with us on Sunday because she spent the night with them on Saturday. She is 11 so she came to our Sunday School class and LOVED it! She also really loved church and went to lunch with us after church. She was sweet and fun and I really enjoyed having her around. And tonight, she came to Kids Club!!! She has already asked me about Prayer Pals and wants to come to church every Sunday. She also attends a kids church program at another church on Wednesday nights that she has actually been taking Linda to. I really hope she sticks around, she could even be in Gods Girls this summer!! Its so fun to see Linda and Bonita reach out to their friends...and SO comforting to see that the have chosen a really good friend. Meredith is a beautiful girl that I am very excited to get to know!!
Tonight and tomorrow I am kicking the cleaning into high gear. I really want my house CLEAN!! I seem to still be a little messed up in the head trying to balance everything, haha. Not sure what's going on, but hopefully I will get my act together soon...Lord only knows what I will forget next! (Hopefully its not a kid!)

Productive Day!!
Today was one of the most productive days that I have had in a long time, thank goodness!! Actually, most of my days are "productive" in a work sense, but it seems that things in my life have fallen by the wayside as I work more and more. My basement has been a disaster since my church left at the end of July and I have just closed the doors and not touched anything since then. (I did straighten up the main room so it looked livable, but that really just meant all the crap was behind closed doors). A lot of my kitchen stuff had been moved to the basement during my kitchen remodel and I still hadn't gone down to get it!! Tonight, that all changed!! Let me start with the beginning of my day though...
Saturday is usually my day off, but for the second week in a row I didn't take it. I'm not complaining (yet, haha) because it was a good day (as was last Saturday). I won't get next Saturday off either since my church will be here, but that's okay because right after that I will head home for Thanksgiving for 5 days!!! Anyway, today was the Reload Conference held in Philly. Its a one day conference for urban youth workers that I had never been too but was pretty excited about. 6 of us from Cornerstone went and had a pretty good time. It wasn't great, but it wasn't a waste of time either, and we all had fun together...so over all it was pretty good. We had the opportunity to go to 2 different break out sessions and I apparently chose the same one twice. They had different titles and different speakers, but it was basically the same thing. Maybe God really wanted me to pay attention!! The seminar I went to was about gangs, which I didn't think we really had in Philly...I was WRONG!! I did learn a ton that has really opened my eyes to even more about what is going on in our neighborhood and especially the pressures our kids are facing.
I was a little bummed because the second session I went to was with a police officer in the city and I had hoped it would be about how churches can partner with law enforcement to help better our community (that's what the description of the talk said it would be). It ended up being more about gangs, oh well. I really did learn a lot though. I was also really encouraged because a pastor in the session talked about how his church is reaching out to law enforcement as well. As the daughter of a police officer I know all too well how difficult that job can be, especially on someone who really cares about the people and the community he/she serves. Last year alone there were over 450 suicides by police officers in the US. We need to be praying for these men and women!!!
I got home around 4:00 from Reload and invited Shera and Joy over for dinner. We had fun cooking, talking and eating. I told them that I wanted to clean my basement tonight and Joy immediately offered to help. Shera has been pretty sick , so she couldn't help much, but she provided some much appreciated laughter and fun. The whole process took me and Joy about 4 hours!!! But, it was SO worth it!! I moved Bonita and Linda's room to the basement and set up a full size bed in their old room. So, now I have a for real guest bed room!! (That also doubles as my office). I'm so grown up!! :)
The girls' room in the basement is bigger and cuter than their old one. They each now have their own dresser (although one drawer in each dresser must be given to Monique or Tasha since they are now regulars at my house as well). The also have a computer in their room (not hooked up to the internet) that they can play games on. The rest of the basement is set up as their own space with a TV and everything! (It works but isn't hooked up to anything...I will hopefully get a DVD or VCR soon so they can watch movies). I figure they are old enough now to have their own space...I hope they like it. I love it!! You can see for your self:
My new guest room! I don't have sheets or anything for the bed yet...that is coming soon! (My desk is to the right of the shelves...I couldn't get the whole room in one pic).
The wood leaning against the wall on the left is a bookshelf that I need to put together...isn't this a great area for kids to hang out?!? Thank you Jesus!!
How cute is their bedroom now?!? (Except for the exposed pipes in the middle...I have a curtain to cover that...I will hang it soon). There is a computer and another dresser on the right that you can't see. Now I just have to figure out how to get them to not be scared to sleep in the basement. Oh well...I have a guest room for them too!
My church is coming in a week and will be doing some work on my house and the church. I am working on getting my house spotless before they come so after they leave I only have to clean up their mess and not my own as well. The basement and guest room were the biggest projects; they involved moving furniture, storing stuff (Frankie still has A LOT of things at my house) and throwing a ton of stuff away. The rest of the house is just some major cleaning. I think I can get that done throughout the week. My house needs SO MUCH work, but its finally at the point where I'm not embarrassed to have people over...and that feels so good!! :)
