I just wanted to take the time and send a Merry CHRISTmas hello to all my friends and family who read this! Sandy and I made it home for Christmas safely and are kinda bummed to find out that we left and it snowed at least 3 inches where we live!!! :) We had a wonderful time with our family last night.
I was just informed last Friday that not only did I sustain 1 broken rib but found out...after 2 months that I have 5 broken ribs from my accident! 4 of them are healing well and one is still healing displaced! Other than that I am doing fine and dandy!
I hope and pray you all have a blessed Christmas and a even better new year!! I am sorry for not sending out cards!!!
I love you all!
Wendy and Gizzmo :)

My Christmas tradition.....
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
Everyone I am sure has a Christmas tradition or two! I have a few but one of my non Biblical tradition's is to watch Irving Berlin's "White Christmas" Starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Coloony and Vera Allen. As long as I can remember I have watched that movie on TV with my gramma and grampa Culbertson. I have the movie memorized, I know all the songs and could probably do the dance numbers too! My grampa Bob was a great closet entertainer! He loved to dance and sing! He taught me to jitterbug and waltz! He also help me find my love for singing by just hearing him sing the songs he grew up listening too and also all the AWESOME old skool hymns! Most people would have thought of Grampa not liking Christmas...But he loved it for the One reason! Our Savoir! But then him and gramma had two secondary reasons to love Christmas...me and Sandy! They would take us to go and by a pretty dress we would wear for our Church Christmas programs each year and then that would also conclude dinner at Sizzler! Grampa loved that place! Grampa would get steak and Gramma, Sandy and I would get the salad bar! One year Grampa sang "Oh Holy Night" for the Church Christmas program and I got a litte teary hearing him sing that song from his heart! Thru out grampas life he had many reasons to just give up and go along the worlds way of living but he always seemed to carry that pride know ing that he was a child of God even though grampa had a hard time dealing with the fact we have eternal security! The 100% garuntee that we would never loose our salvation if we truely meant that we wanted Christ in our lives/hearts. At the time I was born grampa and gramma were not going to church and grampa said that his grandchildren will be going to Church and Im thankful for the devotion they both had for keeping us head deep in the word and consistant in Church!
I have made some small and big mistakes in my life. But I know that the best thing I ever did was secure my life! I celebrate Christmas because that was the beginning of my new life!!!
Thank you Grampa and Gramma!!!
I love you both!

WINTER FISHING...
OOOOOO I can't wait for Saturday!!! I get to go Steelhead fishing! Im sure it will lets say oh REALLLLLLLLY cold, but catching my first Steelhead...PRICELESS and sooooo worth it! I love the fact that God gave us the knowledge to figure out how to fish and gather for ourselves! The fun part of it all though is fighting for your dinner :-)!!!! And then reaping in the rewards by eating it or if you are like me share the wealth!!!
I had another doctor appointment today reguarding my accident! My rib is still broken! It will be 2 months on December 20! So my doctor is going to send my X-rays to a radiologist to make sure the way that it is healing and the speed or lack of is not to be overly concerned over! I will know in a week!
Im looking forward to come home for the holidays! I know that it seems like I talk about my accident a lot and Im sorry! But that was a hard for me to deal with! I have never been in anything like it and am constantly THANKFUL that God protected me! And that life is precious and He gives and can take away and how fortunate I have the dear friends and family that helped and still are helping, close by! I am in debted to you all!
Work is ok! I worked my first 10 and a half hour shift yesterday since being back to full duty! I was doing good till hour 9 and my 5th and 6th wind was running out! One of our managers just up and quit...And so I took her opening shift and then other employees needed to be off earlier and so I said I would be the last to go home since I had to wait for my ride to get off work!
Gizzmo is getting big and is still a handful! I keep thinking...oh Lord what did I get my hands full with...Jack russel, wired hair schnouzer and mini pincer.....oh what a combo!!! Oh well I love him and he is loads of fun!
I have been killing my off time just hanging out at home watching football! I have missed the last 2 sundays watching football and going to church because of work! I hate to miss football but cant stand to miss a sunday of Church! But I am blessed to have my cousin to pray with and sit and talk about what we are doing for devotions or a verse that got to us! And it keeps me going thru the week!
My Church back in Washington started to post "THE REV'S" sermons on mp3 format on the Church website! And nothing compares to Pastor Franks sermons! Sorry Ryan! You do have an AWESOME mentor! but you are just as good! Im kinda bummed I won't be able to go to Church when I'm home!
My novel is finished for now! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

I DONT WANT KIDS!!!! :)
So I was not so smart and entered into a long commitment of being the mommy of a puppy!! Don't get me wrong I LOVE my dog...or should I say chewmister...or I kill toys faster than you can buy them mom or did this one squeak...I don't remember...or just puppy!!!! I giggle at all Gizzmo's antics! Like how he gets sooo jealous over me petting my cousin's cat when he comes to visit! It's like sibling rivalry!!! The other day I went next door for no more than 15 mins and I come back down to my place and my purse is strewn all over the floor!!! Oh I was sooooo mad! Then I saw that the reeses peices butter cup was in there!(Only a single from halloween) AND it was opened and gone!!! And then that freaked me out! I do all I can to make sure he is safe keeping everything up off the floor and only let him have his toys. I am trying to teach a smart headstrong dog (it's the breeds) to Obey me and then I thought "How do parents do it" How do they continue with the mundain way of life with teaching and instructing or disaplining and correcting their children??? I am sad at the lifestyle my parents have chosen in the recent years!! I'm sad that I was angry while my dad was in the hospital and could have possibly not come out! Im greatful that when I was living at home having to depend on mom and dad that my dad and mom did all they could to make sure we had a roof over our head if was our home in Sumner or living with grama and grampa Z in the 5th wheel on their property till we found a new place to live. I am hummbled that I was a fortunate child that had a family that loved me and still does when there are a lot of children out there that are not so lucky of fortunate. I am blessed to have my grandparents to show me God! And that I was spared a life of eternal death by coming to know our Savior!!! To eventaully one day to know what His will is for me! (I still don't know)
Now I would never get rid of my baby...I do love how he depends on me to remember to feed him or to take him outside, to make sure he gets the excersise he needs! I love that feeling of being needed. I could never take for granted my parents love for me. Thank you mom and dad! I love you both and pray that you both find God's will for your lives! And that you experience God's love too!
Pooh
PS I do eventually want kids...Lord willing...I love them tooo much to not want them!!

Christmas meaning!!
I just got off the phine with my dad about an hour ago. We had a conversation about Christmas eve this year with my family and how he was thinking about buying or renting a Santa suit for all the little kids in the family. Young and old! My first picture with Santa! In that conversation he had mentioned that he was reading the Bible for the meaning of Christmas...I was sooo overwhelmed with joy but angry at the same time, only because my grampa Bob wasn't here to see this or hear him say that! He than said to make lighter side of the subject he said he hasn't gotten thru the geneology of it all yet! But I told him to write out his thoughts of the meaning of Christmas and that I would send him my version! And when I say my version he is gonna KNOW why we celebrate that BEAUTIFUL baby every year! I know my dad knows! I know that he knows he is a sinner and because that Baby was born as man He was to take the sin's of all mankind to save us from ETERNAL DEATH!!! I know my dad knows this I know he knows he is sinning and that God is out creator and our supplier when we need Him, He is our great physician, only God can heal us from all our pain, sorrow and grief! That He simply just loves us for who we are! I know my dad knows all this! Why we celebrate Christmas one day a year I will never know??? OK I kinda do, so that we don't go broke....2008 is the year to CELEBRATE!!!
Celebrate the Christ that was born to save us, let's celebrate the child that would grow to be a man of teaching and healing, the man that would go and show the LOVE of God. The God that would give up His son so that we may live forever! WOW What a year this will be!!! Each day this year I will earnastly blog one thing to celebrate for the year!! If I were to miss one I will never miss two and will catch up!!! 365 days of celebrating Christ!!!! Ce;ebrating God!!!!!
