Everyone is going to the hospital in my family. My great Grandma was admitted on Tuesday, because the hospital thought she might have either had a heart attack or is going to have one. She still hasn't had one, but she's very old, so if she does it would be very bad.
Now, my cousin was rushed to the hospital in the middle of the night for a blood clot. She's been complaining and crying about it for a few days now, but the local hospital told her it was nothing. She felt this pain start in her ankle, move to her knee, and now it's at her thigh. Another hospital admitted her with a serious blood clot.
Please be praying for them.

In Pennsylvania
Hello. I haven't written a real blog for quite a while now, so I figured I'd jump back in with an update about my trip to Pennsylvania.
So far, I've been to Pittsburgh 3 times (which is about a 2 hour trips between Pitt and Johnstown, where my family lives and we were driving there and back in one day.....for 3.5 days straight.) That took up Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. On Saturday, my 67 year old uncle finally married his high school sweetheart who reunited about 8 years ago. It was pretty cute. My Aunt Arlene (weird to say that now!) helped my uncle through some very difficult times such as when my uncle lost his left leg to diabetes about 4 years ago, and when his son discovered he had AIDS due to his constant drug use and gay lifestyle. And when my uncle's son tried to kill himself with blood thinners. I'm so happy that they can finally come together and get married. My uncle was stuck in an marriage that had technically ended about 15 years ago when his wife ditched him and their 3 sons to be with another man. She refused to get a divorce and blah blah blah, they finally divorced last July.
But Saturday night came and that was a completely different event than a cheerful wedding. My 17 year old cousin invited me to his house for a party with 20 or 30 random kids from his school. They were all guys, except for 2 girls who SHOWED UP drunk, and continued drinking by hiding their beer in their jackets, thinking no one noticed. Then they ended the night by asking guys how much they would pay to see the two girls make out. Then they smoked and went home. I went through 4 hours of rap music and people asking me if I want to smoke pot and snort some crack with them. Then the night did turn out good for me when I destroyed 6 guys at poker.
Aww, but now it's Sunday and I went to church, then saw my grandma, and now I just finished a delicious dinner prepared by my Aunt Liz.

Tithe
So, I hadn't been to my home church in a few weeks, and so when I went to noon service yesterday, I gave my tithe. Sarcasticly, I snickered 'I better see some more money in my paycheck.'
Holy cow. I got my paycheck today and there was $100 more than what our records originally said I'd be paid BEFORE TAXES!
I was:
1. Amazed
2. Pleased

The Hopes and Dreams of a 3 Year Old
Today, while spending time with my nephew, he let me know what he was looking forward to in the future. He was going to have muscles, along with attend a wedding soon. Then he let me know something... interesting, and I didn't know whether to encourage the dream or not.
Him: "Someday, I'm going to have my own wedding."
Me: "Yep."
Him: "And someday I'm going to drive a really, really, really big car."
Me: "Yep."
Him: "And someday I'm going to have a really, really, really big pee-pee."
How do you respond? Say 'yes' in an awkward and potentially creepy demeanor, or say no, and probably curse him for eternity? So I just laughed it off, and have yet to cease telling the world about it. He'll probably find this post someday when he's older, and be scarred for life........

Mckenzie Encounter with Jesus
Last night, at work, my friend McKenzie decided to tell Ryan, who was stopping by, that Jesus was coming back soon and that Barack Obama was the Anti-Christ. About 15 minutes late, she yells for my help from the back room. I run in to find her with a burrito in one hand, and the other hand in front of her face.
"Ana, you know how we talked about Jesus coming back and Obama being the Anti-Christ?"
"Yea..."
"Look at my finger!"
Drown on her finger was a tiny cross. She claims she has no idea where it came from and that it's a sign from Jesus.
So, about a half hour late, she was washing dishes and the cross washed off. I heard another shout from the back, where I quickly ran in to see what was wrong.
"Ana, I washed off Jesus' sign! Is that a sin?!? Maybe this means Satan was giving me a sign and now Jesus is washing off the lies!"
It was a good night.

Old Lemonade
Yuck! I just accidently took a drink from an old can of lemonade that was sitting on my desk....
Old lemonade tastes like Satan's throw up.
