Holmes County Thief and Robber!!! ATTN!!

Many reports have been made In the areas of Baltic, Sugarcreek, Walnut Creek, and surrounding towns about a mid-aged, tall black man whom is posing as a Laundry Detergent and Dish (Dawn) Salesman.

Just today the 17th of December there has been a few accounts in Baltic where he has gone into people's homes using the "Poser" technique, tied people up as he robs their homes!

A Week or so ago, this man came to my house and entered the mud room without knocking!! I saw him scanning and looking around the house and then i told my dad there was someone at the door. This guy was ALSO middle aged tall black man who was selling dawn soap and offered my dad to go out to his vehicle to see the rest of the products. Obviously my dad didn't want the products so he didn't comply and go out to his car, So the guy left.

If you see this guy or see his car he'd be driving, try to get his license number and notify the holmes county sherriff department or police enforcement in local counties!Thank you!

Reflecting 2008

The other day I thought to myself, "I've changed incredibly much this year."
One must wonder why.
I've gone through a lot. Sure, not as much as some people.
But still I had my doubts, my untrusting moments, and my hopeless thougts.
In this Past Year of 2008, I've witnessed death, birth, life, hardships, warfare, rebirth, growth, joy, happiness, and sadness.
All of those things and more can change a person more indefinitely than most would
think. For me, it did.

It made me realize how life is so short. No, shorter than short! The world wastes there
time soooo much on worrying about what people think, worrying about what's going on, and just plain WORRYING! People worry so much that they aren't living life.
When writers, or bloggers or your next door neighbor say, "Live Life to the Fullest", we take
that phrase for granted!
I'm sure there is a group of people who stake that claim all the time, but yet DON'T do it.
Why? What's Stopping You?

ATTN: Living Life to the Fullest is NOT:
- moping around waiting for someone else to put things back together
- worrying about completely nothing
- crying when no tears should be shed/crying over spilled milk
- complaining all the time
- expecting someone else to take the leap or jump first
- concentrating on the horrible/negative stuff ALL the fricken time
- wallowing in self-pity
- not getting OVER something that took place long ago
- wasting your time and money on ridiculous things
- expecting everyone to have zero flaws, imperfections, indifferences,
defects or weaknesses
- living without God. I've tried, and it doesn't work so well
- constantly wanting your way all the time. "My way or the highway"

....and the list could go on.

In this past year, i've learned more than just what living life meant but by embracing it and taking hold of that. There's a few things i've changed in my life... but mostly a few people have been either the inspiration or example and have seriously opened my eyes and made me discover things about life and myself.

First off, I've learned to be a little more open with people and express who i am. It's all or nothing..."whether you like me or not" kind of attitude. I learned that in college just from self realization, but also from Keith who is an amazing friend. If you haven't met him, you just got to!

Secondly, I've also learned to be more straight forward and honest, and that what i may say MAY not be stupid. I had a fear of sounding stupid or dumb or whatever. But I've learned that I shouldnt be afraid of expressing who i am and my thoughts. I definitely owe my boyfriend, Jack for teaching me that. He probably doesn't realize that but it's very true!

Thirdly, I've learned to not always concentrate on the negative stuff, But to stay positive even when things are heard. My mom's taught me that along with a great friend, Quentin.


I have so many more friends that Have taught me tons of stuff too!!! but these are the major things i've personally dealt with that have changed and encouraged me!

However, I'm not the same person as I was last year, I hope to change and grow this coming year of 2009!

Living to the Fullest has a Definite Meaning this Year and Years to Come!

Happy Holidays and Have an Amazing Year!

Update!

Wow. Has it been Really since October since i've written??
Well gee, I have not time to lose.
What is New?

---I have decided to go back to Kent State this coming semester.
All the paperwork is filed, all financial aid credited and taken care of,
and even classes scheduled. However, I have not received an assignment
for my dormitory. Hmmm . . . I wonder why.
Well Tomorrow I will definitely be calling Residence Services to ask them
what's going on.
Other than that nothing too much is relatively "new" per-say.

---My last day working at the Carlisle Inn WC is in about a week (the 20th).
Boy, i'm ready for it too. Just need time to relax, get everything around for school,
and etc.

--- Christmas is almost here. A New Year is about to begin. MOST of my christmas
shopping is finished. I've ordered most of the gifts online so therefore I am
still patiently waiting for bundles and packages to get here.

--- From December 29th through January 1st, I, i mean WE, (me and my boyfriend)
are planning on going to Canada. We decided to take a trip to be together before he goes
over in Iraq or Afganistan..and just spend New Years Eve together. I'm excited however
a little weary on money. No bookings have been made nor reservations quite yet and its the 14th! However, im not too worried- whatever happens..happens.

--- I'm very excited to get started on school again..now that i have my head reset...and am focused and lurking to succeed! =)

--- I am already looking into what i want to do for Spring Break. I have the same Break as my
family so we may or may not go to North Carolina.

--- This coming summer, I feel i have a few options for myself. Listed as follows:
1) Work and Live at Home
2) Go to School at Kent State University
3) Go to School at New York University
4) Travel
5) Volunteer or Paid Archaeologica Dig

SO FFARRR those are the options...few..yes...but im sure i'll collect more. Then the
process of elimintation begins!
