I miss George
I don’t really have much to say, but I was sick of looking at that tea article at the top of my screen. Work was great this week. One of the kids crawled for the first time ever, and I got to see it happen. I’ve never been much of a crier when it comes to things that are extra sad or extra happy, but I think I’ve found my weakness. These kids can make me cry pretty easily. Nothing like 62 kids to soften your heart. I cried when Estefany crawled, and the other day at praise and worship I cried when Gatlin, a boy from the Blue class, said the school prayer all by himself in front of everyone. No one even knew he had it memorized. It was amazing to hear a kid say it, because normally we say it and all the kids stare at us, and it never really hit me that the kids were actually learning it. Gatlin graduates this year, and next year he’ll be in kindergarten. I think it’s wonderful that he can take the prayer with him.
“I can do what God says I can do,
I can go where God says I can go,
I can have what God says I can have,
I am what God says I am,
I am taught by the Lord, and great is my strength in Him.
Amen.”
I would very much like to see a new episode of Grey’s Anatomy.
Some of you remember a few years ago when I was taking Anatomy that I made a game for my friends to play. I made up questions and some fun little way of buzzing in and offered the winner a free board game. We played in my apartment in Norman when I lived at Chapel Ridge with Erin, and I think Evan was the ultimate winner. After that game I went on to make a 100% on my anatomy test the next day, so making and hosting the game really helped me. Well, this Sunday I will be hosting a similar event, where contestants will play a pathology game. Everyone knows a little bit about being sick, so everyone should do extremely well. The grand prize will be free hotel for a weekend in one of the following destinations:
Las Vegas, NV
Laughlin, NV
Reno, NV
Lake Tahoe, NV
Daytona Beach, FL
Atlantic City, NJ
Anaheim (Disneyland area)
Cancun, MX
Puerto Vallarta, MX
Mazatlan, MX
Palm Springs, CA
San Antonio, TX
Virginia Beach, VA
Gatlinburg, TN
Branson, MO
Biloxi, MS
New Orleans, LA
Niagra Falls Area
Myrtle Beach, SC
Orlando, FL
If you wish to play but Tulsa is not somewhere that you will be this Sunday, we can arrange a video chat so you can participate. The questions will probably follow a jeopardy-like format, so quick buzzing in will not be an issue. The game will start sometime in the mid/late afternoon. Anyone and everyone who wants to participate is welcome. If you would like a contestant seat please let me know ASAP so I can prepare. It’s going to be fun, I promise!
