Edwards Haps and Mishaps

Janelle and I are in California this weekend. We just got back to Sacramento after spending the last few days at the beach. It was a lot of fun. We went to Monterey, Carmel, and a couple other fun beaches. One of the highlights for me was driving down “17 mile drive.” It’s a long winding road through some very nice golf courses, including “Pebble Beach.” It was amazing driving past Pebble Beach — I couldn’t see much of the course, but just being there was exciting. All along the drive we passed enormous houses that surely cost more money than I will ever see in my entire life — unless i find that sack of money that I’ve been looking for — and I felt like I was in a zoo. We drove by all the fenced off areas that we aren’t allowed to enter and oogled at the “exotic creatures.” Anyway, I just thought it was interesting the way we were seperated from the filthy rich in the same manner that we are separated from animals in a zoo. Anyway, just thought I would say hello, and I don’t have much more to say than that. God bless!

I just need to write this story…its something pretty interesting in my opinion. Something that doesn’t happen every day. So i was out and about dropping flyers off for the girls i do activity days with when i passed a girl holding a handicapped girl in her late teens. All the sudden another handicapped girl came out of the apartment and started yelling something. Then she started running away so the “care taker” who was about my age, started running after her and the handicapped girl (Heather) started attacking her!! I couldn’t just keep walking right by like nothing was going on so i asked if i could help. She asked if i would call someone for her. So i went inside and paged this guy for her and when i came back out there were a couple neighbors (who belong to the same organization helping handicapped) and they were trying to pin down Heather. She was out of control and so i ran over and started to help pin her down.

She had one girl by the hair and would not let go and so i reached over to try and release her hand and she BIT my bicep! I thought she would never let go…but she finally did…and after kicking and punching wildly for awhile she calmed down and they took her in the house.

Well, since i wasn’t a staff member…just a random girl trying to help…they had to call the police and paramedics to check my arm (which was black and blue, literally). Then they “strongly encouraged” me to press charges so that Heather can learn there are consequinces for her actions. I did the police cuffed her and took her away because she had “assaulted 4 people!”

It was one crazy night and i have a pretty nice battle wound to show for it. I went to the urgent care this morning and got some medicine to prevent infection…so i should be ok…but this was one story worth sharing!

I am just at work…nothing too exciting. Shaun has his last final tonight…he has been studying FOREVER for this final so hopefully he does well! We are so excited to come to Sacramento! we leave on thursday morning! gosh, i wish i had more to write. We are trying to find a good deal on a bike for Shaun, and after that…a bike for me! That will be fun. I have been cutting back on the sugar because after Easter that was ALL i ate…and i have been doing pretty good. hmm…i’ll write more if i think of anything else that might be remotely interesting!

Happy Sunday!  We spent the day today up at my folks house– the Edwards.  It was pretty fun.  We played games that we used to play as little kids and basically just hung out.  My lil sis Kerstin in in town too, so we got to see her.  She lives in DC so we don’t get to see her often.  t is nice when we do get to see her.  Anyway, that is abou it for today.  Tommorrow it is back to work and studying for finals.  See ya’ll!

I am at work right now…pretty bored…i have work to do but it just gets SO repetitive!! Oh well, i hope Mom Edwards is doing well after surgery and we are excited to see Kerstin! We are also excited to go to the beach soon and to see the Strazzo clan…and little Baby J…and not much is going on. Shaun might get a story printed in the Daily Universe…we’ll keep you all posted on that! Well, i love you all and i am so happy to have married into a great family! We pray for you all and hope you are doing well!

This is so cool! we have a website! I am at work right now…workin’ hard (listening to all to crazy old coaches around me cracking jokes to eachother and laughing really hard like they are funny…and they’re not) Oh well, i have my own little cubicle and picture of my cute husband on my desk!

Our big brother “RedBeard” just put this up for us today so it’s all empty. Dont’ worry though, we will fill it up soon. God Bless!
