The hottest summer ever recorded in Texas was this summer 2011. What a joy that Travis and I got to share in this record...not really. We didn't have rainfall from May(ish) to August. Texas almost broke the record for consecutive days with temperatures over 100 degrees...but I ruined it..but really. For my birthday-August 25- I asked the Lord to give me rain for a birthday present cause I just love rain. I prayed and expected. August 25th I woke up and screamed when I looked out the window and saw lightening. I saw it in the distance and was thankful that at least some of Texas got my birthday present. Then went downstairs to drink coffee with Travis. All of a sudden, he yells, "NO WAY!" and runs to the balcony and opens the door to a pouring rain. Tell me how this happens on the hottest summer ever recorded with temperatures making 100 feel cold and almost breaking the consecutive over 100 record.... you can't explain it. Its because the Lord blessed me the most on my birthday and answered my prayer in a mighty way. Pray with expectations.
We have been doing really well in Fort Worth. Travis is still working for Dale Properties and got transferred to the SWAT team. Sounds fearsome. Its because my husband is muscle man and can handle anything. But what he actually does is leases in a different area that only certain people were selected to take part of. He is amazing.
I am working at Kelley Orthodontics as a Dental Assistant and have been working there since June! I absolutely love it. Let me give you a glimpse of my working environment:
-Wake up at 6 a.m and get to the office at 7:15 a.m
-Patients are seated at 7:30 a.m
-I put on my mask, snap my gloves on, and tell them "everything is going to be ok, I am new at this and just guess which instruments are used for stuff and you will bleed.." just kidding.
-I can do about half of the appointment usually...my knowledge is still increasing everyday!
-I get to meet new people and KIDS! I love it!
-Lunch Break for an hour and 15 min. Tuesdays and Thursdays our staff (minus Dr.) go power-walking through the mall. Yes, its a great picture...all of us in our scrubs power walking, power talking through the mall and an occasional drop off to see a store.
-I am the youngest person on staff by 10 years. I love working with Moms that take care of me, grandmas that are so hilarious and awesome and everyone asking what a Twitter is and how to do it. Its an incredible environment. I think its so cool how I am the youngest there and I am used to being with people alot younger than me or my age- Fifth and Sixth graders. The Lord is stretching me in beautiful ways.
Travis ESPN: Rangers. Go.
Tricia's Randomness: We recently went to Colorado for Carole Anns Wedding! (Travis sister) It was gorgeous and absolutely filled with joy from the Lord. I just love Travis' family. When I see them, I honestly feel like they have been in my life as long as the Lipperts or Alabacks have. I tear up seeing them and tear up saying good-bye. They are so close to my heart. I am so blessed to have the best new family.
Tuffy Tales: Well, I just can't help myself sometimes. Mom and Dad left me and my first thought was to go up to the bathroom, get into the trash can and spread out Moms female products all over the bed. It made sense to me.. Mom was gagging and grossed out when she saw..
Joys and Pains of Learning: Travis and I just laugh a ton. We recently just dropped tuffy on our friends -the Hamons- porch and rang the door bell and left. They came outside to a barking Tuff and no us. It was funny. We came back and just hung out with them. We decided we love just being random and laughing. Encourage you to do the same!
