My First Turkey Hunt

Last week I got to hang out with my dad all morning, and it was great! We went turkey hunting, yes hunting is what we do when we hang out. I had always been a little uneasy about going Turkey hunting because I just didn't know if I would like, well this year I decided to give it a shot. And guess what, I got one!!! This will be something that my dad and I will do every year togther. To be honest I was really excited but I think that he was 10 times as excited because it was my first turkey. Thank You for a great day dad I Love You!!!

Alot of catching up to do!

I know that it has been such a long time since I have posted on my blog, but I have been crazy busy. Just a little update on everything: I have been working three jobs to start saving up some money, because I finally got accepted to Nursing School!!! I start in Aug. and I couldn't be happier! About two months ago Jordy and I purchased a 2009 Chevy Malibu, and we couldn't be happier with our purchase! I am also attending full-time school this semester, so I have been a very busy girl.

Everytime I talk to my mom she tells me don't over do it, you will get sick, and let me just say it hit me and it hit me hard! I was diagnosed with pink eye last Thursday, and it has only gotten worse from there. I was in the walkin clinic on Saturday, and then to the eye doctor on Monday. The final diagnosis is a virus that has set in my eyes, I cannot work while I have this virus, and there is nothing they can do to help me get over it. I wish I would have taken a picture sooner, however it may have been a little too much for some to see. I have had this for over a week and I am hoping to get better by Friday so I can get back to working. So this is a picture from today, which is much improved from yesterday.
It is diffucult to see but my eyes are bloodshot red and swollen and very painful. But as I said before, it has improved which is a great sign!

What A Car!!

I went to Medford Motors the other day to test drive a car, and to be honest the only reason I did this is because if you test drive a new car you get a free oil change!! And let me tell you I am all about getting a deal! So Jordy and I have been looking to get a new car for a while now, but we are going to hold off until I am done with school. The car we really want is a 2010 Chevy Malibu, we actually test drove one for a couple days and loved it! Well I wanted to test drive something equvilant to the Malibu, so they let me test drive a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid!! And I think I fell in love with it, it was absolutly amazing, then again you can't really go wrong when it get 36-40 miles to the gallon! So I went home and told Jordy I love this car and I want it for Christmas! hahaha Yeah right like that would happen! Here is a picture of the hybrid, oh yeah and it even had the little leaf system in it! The more leaves it shows the more efficient the car is, how cool is that!

After talking about the car for a while, Jordy goes to the computer and tells me that we wouldn't have to get a Ford, because the car we want also comes as a hybrid!! So after doing some research, I just have to win the lottery and then I might be able to afford it. Maybe in about 10 years we will get a 2010 hybrid....hahah

Parker John Judnic

I know that this is a little late, but I just couldn't help myself. Parker John Judnic was born on September 21st, he was 6lbs 2oz and 18 inches long. This is the first baby in Jordys family, so he got to experience holding his nephew for the first time! He is so precious and is such a joy to have in the family. Even though I am not a "true" auntie, I will still spoil him ;)! Parker and mother are doing great, and he is already getting so big!!

Its Demo Time!!

If you recall last year I was in a Demo Derby in Phillips. Well this year I AM BACK! I will be participating in the Medford Demo Derby this year. The Demo is on Aug 1st at the fairgrounds. I am so excited, and can't wait to kick some butt in my Demo car!

Here is a picture of my car from last year. Lets just hope that the radiator doesn't blow up in my face again, that kinda hurt! This is me running away from the car trying to get my helmet off, so I can cool my face off. Well I guess thats what happens when you are smashing things!

Sorry I couldn't get it to rotate!

SHOUT!!

Wait a minute, You know you make me want to SHOUT, Look my hand's jumpin SHOUT, Look my hearts bumpin SHOUT, Throw my head back SHOUT!

I am so excited to tell everyone that I auditioned for the Community Theater Musical, and I got the part! :) So the musical is SHOUT A MOD MUSICAL, it is based on music from 1962 to the late 1970's that is sung by 5 women. Let me tell you there are some amazing classics in this show! I am playing the "Yellow Girl" during the show we don't refer to each other by names at all, so we are colors.

So there are some pictures from online. I would like to let you all know that the show dates are June 24th-26th, so mark your calenders! I am so excited to be back on stage singing!

Like Mother, Like Daughter

This morning I got up and the first thing I did was throw some laundry in the washer. I thought to myself it is a beautiful day to hang clothes on the line, so thats what I did. Little did I know my mom is doing the exact same thing!!!! Wow are we related or what!

Love You MOM!!!

A Weekend Away

This last weekend we went down to my aunt and uncles down in Keil. Every year they have an ice sculpting contest down the main drag of the town. This year we didn't get to see all of the sculptures so I am not sure what they all had but I did get pictures of two. These two sculptures were done in memory of my aunts friend Amy, she was killed at Fort Hood. The person that sculpted these is #2 in the US. The sculptures are an American flag with a saying underneath and the boots, gun, and helmet of a fallen soldier. What makes this so special is the sculpture was a recreation of Amy's tattoo. The first picture is just the beginning of the sculpting process, he has it drawn in the block of ice. I don't have a final picture of this sculpture.

Now he is just making some finishing touches on the second sculpture. It is an amazing piece of art!

God Bless to all of the fallen soldiers!

Just an Update

I just wanted to Thank everyone for thinking about me! As of right now Tuesday, the day of my surgery was the best. Wednesday started out a little shaky, got a little better as the day went on, and then took a turn for the worse! I got horribly sick and was throwing up everything I tried to eat. It felt like my throat was being cut out, because it hurt so bad. Thursday was ok, I didn't get sick at all, so that was a big plus. But my pain has been getting worse and worse, because I am afraid to take a full dose of it, because I am not sure if that is what made me sick or not. Today has been a little bit better but I have been sleeping most of the day, the sleepless nights have finally caught up to me. On top of all my pain and being sick, I got a phone call today from my work. They wanted me to come into work today and tomorrow!! All I could think of was "Are you crazy!!" I just couldn't believe they would call and ask that knowing that I had surgery and that I wasn't even sure if I would be there on Monday.

Anyways, I think everything is heeling properly. However I am so sick of eating jello and drinking powerade. When I was sick jello was the only thing I was finally able to keep down, so I am sticking with that just in case. I am truly blessed to have all of you in my life, and to know that you are all thinking about me.

Megan's Tonsils are gone!!

We wanted to give an update on how Megan was doing so far....

The surgery itself was very short and went well. She has been resting all afternoon, thanks to the roxicet. Here she is resting on the couch with her prayer shawl from Grandma. From what we hear the first two days are rather minor but it is the few days following that we are not looking forward to.

I have to go back to work on Thursday but she will be in good hands with Jordy. I have already made her some pumpkin pie and some jello stuff. Tomorrow I am going to make a big bowl of mashed potatoes. I had to bring over my blender to make shakes. Sounds like a good excuse to me to drink lots of chocolate shakes.

This reminds me of when she was little and I took care of her when she was sick. It seems like it was yesterday.

Preparing For The Week To Come

Last week I went to the doctor for a constant sore throat, I went strait to an ENT (Ear Nose and Throat) doctor, because I assumed that is where they would have sent me anyway. The appointment was going well, until the doctor asked if I was tired alot and if I got really bad sinus headaches. Well both answers were yes. The response "What are you doing tomorrow, you need surgery as soon as possible". I have to get my tonsils out because I have tonsillitis so bad that my body is trying to fight it off, but is really making my body weaker because my body can't fight it off. I am going in for surgery on Tuesday morning in Medford.

So in preparation for this next week I went groceries shopping, and it is not very easy to get only things that are soft or plain liquid. According to the doctor I won't even be able to eat scrambled eggs until late Thursday. The pictures below are what I will be living on for the next 5-6 days. He said I can try to some things like Macaroni and Cheese and Eggs but I won't be able to eat very much.
Since my favorite ice cream is Mint Bon Bon, and that has chocolate chunks in it, he said I can't eat that so I got rainbow sherbet instead. However with how cold it is supposed to be this week I am not so sure I will be eating very much of this.

And the rest of my liquid/very soft food diet. MMMM don't you wish you could eat like this for a week. I would rather it be steak, burgers and french fries. So if you want to stop I will be home all week, but I won't be able to talk very much. And yes Jordy says it will be a peaceful week, haha but he has to do all the dishes! ;)

Happy Holidays

Just a couple pictures from the holidays. Thanks to everyone that spent the holidays with us, we are truly blessed! We wish everyone a safe and happy 2010!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

A Great Night!

Tonight Tracy and Felicity came over to visit. We made homemade pizza for us and Mac n Cheese for Felicity. I was so great to catch up with them!


Here is Felicity eating supper at the coffee table, while using diapers as a chair. (They are a baby shower gift for one of my friends). She was also glued to the t.v. during Wheel of Fortune.

And after supper we decided to hang out and color.

I can't wait to have my little Pumpkin once a week after work!! :)

Bow Hunting Success

Last night I went bow hunting for the first time this year. I have been bow hunting for the last three years and I have had no luck getting a deer. I would always see deer, I just couldn't hit them! :) Last night the weather was perfect and I felt really confident. At about 5:45 my deer came into my bait I watched him for about 20 min because there was a bigger buck off in the distance, but he didn't come close enough for me to get a shot. I was getting a little antsy so I decided to shoot. And guess what!! For the first time I shot a deer with my bow.




It is a 6 point buck.

I Got Flowers!

Wednesday was my birthday and while I was at work a lady with flowers came up to the Pharmacy counter and asked for me. I was a little busy counting out some medications and didn't know she had flowers so I finished what I was doing before I went over to the lady. I got over there and she had flowers in hand! I couldn't believe it, someone got me flowers!! The first person that came to mind was of course Jordy, but I know he isn't a big fan of flowers. I opened the card a little anxious, thinking maybe because it was my birthday he decided to get me flowers. Well they weren't from Jordy, they were from Mom and Dad! I love all the colors and they smell amazing! Thanks Mom and Dad for my flowers I love them!

Out of all the flowers this one is my favorite! I don't know what kind it is, but it smells great and is so pretty!

Phillips Demo

About a week and a half ago I was in a demo derby in Phillips. In my last post I had said that I was going to be doing the women's (powderpuff) derby. We had a bachelor/bachelorette party the night before so it was an early morning! We had to be up and on the road by 10 at the latest, lets just say we didn't attempt to leave any earlier. Well we got up to Phillips and plans changed a little bit. They weren't sure if they were going to have a powderpuff derby, so I decided to run with the guys. I figured I had a car up there, so why not right? So the picture below is from the night before when both parties were at one bar, and of course we are looking our best like normal! ;-)

These pictures are from the derby. This was my heat and I had to be the top two to go to the feature. At this moment I was really nervous!! I all of a sudden didn't feel so well and was wondering what I got my self into!!

Good news! I won my heat! WooHoo so here is me driving off the track after the heat was finished. The heat took less than two minutes but it was so much fun I couldn't wait for the feature!

This is a picture from the feature. You can't see me real well and the picture is blurry but I am the car in the top right. There were 12 cars to start the feature.

After making some good hits and getting hit by a guy that pushed me all the way accross the track I got stuck on the cement block. Darn bumpers who needs them anyways! As I was trying to free my car from the block my radiator hose broke off and starting throwing really hot water everywhere, including in my face and on my hands. No worries I didn't get burnt! But the officials stopped the derby to make sure I was ok.

So I got out and counted the cars that were left. One, two, three, four, five......wait five, that's it! That means I took 6th out of 12! I was so excited and had so much fun! The car still runs and might be able to be in one more demo, I guess we will see what demo season brings.

On the way home Jordy and I were talking and he asked "So now do we have to build you a car for next year?" I just laughed and said no I will use the one you already wrecked!

If Your Not Busy

I just thought that I would let everyone know that this Sunday August 16th is the Phillips fair.
There is a Demo Derby on Sunday afternoon and one that starts at 5pm. Well in the picture below you can see Jordy's dad Ray's demo car. That particular car will be running in the Phillips Demo Derby, but there will be a different driver.



ME!!! I am going to be in the PowderPuff Derby at the 5pm show. So if you don't have plans and don't mind a little Sunday drive come cheer me on! I am a little nervous but very excited!

And again another derby

I know I know, it is about time that I post something. Well during the summer we have a very packed schedule between demos and parties and weddings and trying to spend some time with eachother on the weekends. I am sure that not all of you know but Jordy got a job back on the raod. He is working for Zenith Tech, building bridges, so he is gone all week and comes home on weekends that he doesn't have to work.

During the fair I worked alot as an EMT and it worked out perfect because I was already in the pits for the demo. Jordy's little brother Josh and his dad Ray were in the demo on Sunday. Josh ended up taking 4th in the feature. Ray didn't make it to the feature but was happy that Josh made it.

The picture below is from the first show, and as the announcer said it this is a "Judnic Sandwhich". That is Josh inbetween the two cars. Needless to say we had to do a little hood work before the second show.

Here is Jordy watching closely so he can give the guys signals if needed.


Ray is such a good sport! Even though he didn't make it to the feature he still threw stuffed animals into the crowd for the kids. This has actually became a tradition when he runs.

Trip to Illinois

This weekend we went to Illinois for a demo derby. Yes you read that right! We left at about 10am on Friday and finally got down there at 4:30. We went to what's called Metal Mayhem, this is a derby against the states. Friday night was a good show but did we get wet! They got about 3 inches of rain within an hour and a half. Everything was flooded and very muddy.

The night show was cool because of all of the fire coming out of the headers on the motor.

Saturday it was beautiful, and there were lots of roll-overs.

I just like this picture so I had to put it in there.
And this is what we got to look at all weekend. Yes it is a nuclear power plant.

Feeling Adventurous!

So the other day I was feeling a little adventurous, so I finally made my tattoo appointment. As some of you know I had put off getting my tattoo for about two and half years because I don't like needles. Well to tell you the truth, it wasn't that bad!! I wanted to get something that means a lot to me, so of course I picked something that dealt with music. Here are some pictures of my tattoo.

It is a treble cleff upside down that meets with a bass cleff to make a heart. Then I had them put a couple of music notes around it. The reason I got it on the top of my foot is because I can't have a tattoo showing, well your not supposed to at least.
