yay for insurance!

Thu, 02 Apr 2009 20:19:38 GMT

so i've been having problems with my left wisdom tooth for a few months. anytime i'd eat anything sweet or have anything cold my tooth would ache! i went to the denist yesterday, preparing myself for bad news. they told me what i knew i'd hear... (drum role please)
"Rebecca, it seems you have a cavity" gasp! my first cavity...EVER! i think to myself...awesome...we have insurance but just my luck they'd pay half or nothing on getting them pulled. i don't know about you but i really don't have an extra $1,000 bucks hanging around to pay for something like that. i leave after having my teeth cleaned and go over my options and praying that God will make a way that i can afford it. we all know God is good but i was almost in tears and jumping with joy when the denist office called me back today and told me that they checked with my insurance company and they are paying 100% of my surgery!!!! :D the only thing i have to pay is my $25 co-pay! thank you sweet lord for covering it!

on a side note: please be in prayer for my family. we are going through a bit of a rough patch and we need all the prayers we can!

well everyone has said what kevin meant to them.
and i wanted to share my own.
all the jokes of his flip flops and singing have
been made. but i remember the time i had with him.
i would say that kevin and i were best friends.
he, nikki and i spent everyday for about 2 years together.
we did everything together and when we weren't together...
we were talking on the phone.

-i remember when we would go out to eat with friends on
sunday how he would always leave his windows down..and car
unlocked..and no matter how many times you warned him. he
would still leave it at that. and it would never fail to
rain. everything would get wet...including his weeks worth of
clothes piled high in the back seat.
he always was hard on cars, i think the boy had at least
4 or 5 cars since i've known him.

-i remember when he would walk by a mirror..take a step
back and then check himself out. and if you caught him
on it...he would play as though he wasn't.

-i remember his goofy smile and the freckles on his checks
and nose that made a triangle..he thought it was the coolest
thing.

-i remember playing tennis 5 hours everyday. man, good times.
when we played doubles he was normally my partner.

-i remember him going on family vacations with me. and he would
always drive me crazy by the end of the trip.

-i remember when i had my surgery that he made sure to be
the first person i saw when i got out. and he gave me
his favorite stuffed moose. he loved that thing.

-i remember when i graduated that he was the only friend
of mine that came. even though he didn't have to..he came
to support me..he always supported me.

-i remember when i would feel bad about how i looked. he
would always tell me how pretty i was. it would always make
me feel so much better.

-i remember the countless hours that we talked about God.

-i remember when he would have a girl problem and come to
me. like i would be able to answer him. man, he didn't
know much untill he met me.

-i saw him go from mountain man to no hair on his body,
laughs to tears, jobs to jobs...to jobs,
follower of Christ to a leader to Christ,
boy to man, friend till the end.

this is just a few things that i remember. i'm sure
if i keep typing it would be pages worth of great things
i remember. he was my best friend...someone i trusted and
looked up to..very much so. i loved him with all my heart..
and it makes me really sad that i can't just call him up
and talk to him, but i know that great is his reward.
he lived a life with no regret, and i know he's much better
off..so i'm not saying goodbye for good..but goodbye till
we meet again. he touched my life in a way that i will
never be the same because of him. he made my teen years
a blast and i wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

That boy is gone
Sometimes I miss the way he wept at night
To be still and not run
To be rocked to sleep in your light
These days there is not much that will bring tears to my eyes
But when I remember who I am and who you are
When I remember
A cloud moves in, rain falls, thunder strikes, and sunshine breaks through the clouds

I am walking blind
So distracted that I dont even feel when you hold me
When did I grow such thick skin
You are my sunshine and rain
My joy and sweet pain
I'm a spotless stain
That boy is gone
But nobody moves me like you do
When I remember

A cloud moves in, rain falls, thunder strikes
And sunshine breaks through the clouds
I can cry out of sorrow and joy
Every drop of rain turns into a crystal in the sun
So wash my eyes, my clothes, my skin, my bones, my soul
My feet, my love
I'm not forgotten
I'm in your thoughts cause I feel sunshine in the rain

To this day nobody moves
Nobody
Nobody moves me like you do

new years...

Tue, 02 Jan 2007 19:04:30 GMT

Well Christmas and New Years has come and gone.
Now I can get off that candy lose some weight.
I kid. I love candy and the hoildays.

I went to Jenee's lake house for new years.
Me, Jason, Jordan, Jenee', Kristin, Jon, & Shea..
I haven't felt that lazy in a long time. It was
awesome...just what I needed.

So it's only tuesday and I'm jumping back into
work. I was at the center today. I scrubbed with
Dr. Ashford...first time with him. I didn't
do to bad...if I do say so myself. I don't really
know everything so I was kinda slow. But I'll get
a chance to speed up tomorrow.

Right now I'm sitting at Madden using the highspeed...
waiting to go eat with my parents at Logan's
Man, I love their mac n' cheese.

so it's my birthday....

Wed, 13 Dec 2006 23:46:00 GMT

well today i'm 19.
it's been a pretty good day so far.
woke up to my dad telling me bye before leaving for
work..and saying "oh, it's your last year as a teenager."
which on one hand is good because i'm getting a little older..
and sad..because it's like i have one more year to do all the
stupid teen things i guess teens are suppose to do?
i dunno.

jason came over and brought me my 3 part birthday gift.

1) a build a bear he so thoughtfully named "jason"
that also came with build a bear chucks.

2) flowers- pretty

3) bath and body-body butter.

then we went to eat lunch with john and brittany.

then tonight who knows.

it's been a good day so far.

split second

Fri, 22 Sep 2006 05:15:21 GMT

do you ever get down..or maybe not really down..
but you start to think about your life..really
think about it...

do you ever think about how things happened for
you the way they did because of a choice you made?
and if so have you ever regretted your choice?
or maybe just wonder what it would be like if
life had taken a different path?

as for me..i went down a path. i lost a lot of
my friends..i went through depression. i checked
out..just wishing someone, anyone would see my
cry for help. but then one day a friend got me
hooked on a website...i met my bestfriend.
he was the only person that has told me the
honest truth and helped me to make it better.
parts of me that i thought i lost forever and
i thought would remain numb had feeling.
and the road i didn't take doesn't seem so bad.
the things thats going on now makes me know this
is where i am, where i'm suppose to be.
and i wont lie, this has been the hardest year of
my life. i watched my dad almost die, my amazing
friend practically leave, my brother get married,
my grandfather undergoing lung cancer..and
a lot of other very person pain.

but i started to wonder. why is it that when we
take the road less traveled we have more hardships?
why is it that when we are ready to throw in the
rag we find something we lost? and why is it that
when we lose all of our strength we still preserver?
is it true that all God really asks is for us to
rely on him and he will do the rest? and if so..
if it's that easy then why are we so hard headed?
why do we push until we get our way? why can't
we just be broken?

8)Three different times I begged the Lord
to take it away. 9) Each time he said,
"My gracious favor is all you need.
My power works best in your weakness."
So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses,
so that the power of Christ may work through me.
10) Since i i know it is all for Christ's good,
I am quite content with my weaknesses and with
insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities.
For when i am weak, then I am strong.

-2 Corinthians 12:8-10

i still love this song...

Thu, 16 Mar 2006 17:37:44 GMT

Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?

I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move
The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow

I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand....until you hold my hand

I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

Swing life away [x4]

what an awesome weekend...

Sun, 05 Mar 2006 04:31:44 GMT

did i say awesome weekend?
i mean awesome week. i've had
soooo much fun. i went to see
WSO monday, worked out every
chance i could..ate at olive
garden..dyed my hair (details
about that later) went to watermark..
got some awesome shoes..hung out with
all of my favorite people..watched
walk the line. i got an awesome camera
at the thrift store for .39 cents.
yeah it's been amazing.

okay so the hair...ha. well today i
decide hey, i'm going to dye my hair.
yeah, well i did and it's soooo orangish/red.
i look like carrot top...to add to that for people
who know what the spot is..i look like i work
at the spot. okay it's not THAT bad but it's not
awesome either. a better way to describe it is
i look like the girl off of eternal sunshine..yeah
it's that color. yep. but it's just like this for
a month. i can deal.

okay i'm pretty sure more happened...i just can't
really remember. so my theory of losing memory
of the prior week is true.
