I’m going to be lonely for the week….

June 15, 2009

So, Mike is leaving in the morning for Sitka. I really wish I could go with him. I love Sitka, and I haven’t been there in awhile. However, I am stuck with working this week. So Mike is going to leave in the morning to go over to the ferry with my dad. Then he will be back on Friday night on the ferry. So until then I will be at home, lonely, with my mom but oh well. This trip to Sitka should open up more opportunities for Mike which is good.
So this week you will be seeing more blogs from me because I promised Mike a blog every day while he was gone.
I also wanted to post on here tonight that I found the picture of Mike, Bryce, Me, and Dick on Anchorage Daily News with Mike’s first Halibut. It was very interesting. I am guessing Bryce must have submitted it. You can view it at
I also ran across this old site of Sam’s that had our old Romania stuff on it… The journal from our group, and some photos and whatnot. I plan to do something with my Romania stuff, and my photos here in a few weeks. It is at I bought Ilife 09 and it sounds like it will have a lot of great options for designing a webpage with that stuff on it. So you can look forward to seeing that. Anyways, I think I am going to head off to bed. Hope you all had a great weekend, and a great week ahead of you. Oh yeah, and we also had two people die this past month in Coffman Cove. Very unusual. It’s kinda sad, as everyone here kinda seems like family because you know them so well.

americorps & babies

February 14, 2009

So, I haven’t wrote a blog in awhile and figured…. It was time for ya all an update.
I have been pretty busy working 3 or 4 jobs most of the time. I have been cleaning up our new school getting it ready to move into, subbing at school, subbing at the post office and doing the whole AmeriCorps thing. However, I have been having a lot of trouble getting enough hours for my AmeriCorps job. I am suppose to get 40 hours a week, but I have only been running about 35 hours on average. Which sucks. So if ya all have some ideas on some projects either enviromentally, community wise, or students wise then feel free to comment with some ideas for me. They would be greatly Appreciated.

Right now for AmeriCorps I have started an Archery program with the students and they seemed to really enjoy the first day. We are going to be doing this three days a week. Also, Mike & I have been working together to find out information on some recycling stuff that way we can start that up here in Coffman Cove maybe…. Eventually.

Hmm… What else has been going on in the life of Sabrina and Mike. Oh yeah. I really want a baby. There was a slight scare. But it appears that I am in fact not pregnant so that is good and bad both on the same note. I mean on the good news if I wanted to I could go celebrate my 21st birthday, but then again…. I dont get a baby. What I have been wanting. So its kinda a catch 22 deal either way…. It sucks, and is good. Oh yeah, and our friend george is having a baby… So it would be kinda kool for our kids to grow up together but oh well. It will all work out in due time.

I also looked at the americorps calendar today and it appears that I am going to be gone the week of Mikes birthday & his sisters wedding. So I think Mike is a little bummed about that, but theres really nothing I can do about it. It is in fact beyond my control. However, I feel bad.

I bought me a wii. I think I will love it. However, it still has not come in. Knowing my luck it will come in this coming week and then I will have to wait a week to play it becuase my dad will be home. But oh well.

I am also thinking about getting me a new macbook or maybe a macbook air. But am not sure yet. Also, would get a bigger Ipod right now I have an ipod touch 8 GB And I only have 3 GB of space left or maybe less dont know the exact amount….. So what do you guys think are the two things worth spending the money on?

Well, anyways, I think that is all for now or should be it was quiet a long blog. I will try to update my blog more often with updates and whatnot. Maybe I will try getting some of my famous jokes up to. Hope you all have a good weekend.

Blog & Oregon Trip

October 3, 2008

So, Michael messed up my blog… Its finally back in the right spot. Minus a few of the blogs that I should have had on here. But not missing much from those basically mike and I went fishing with Bryce Brucker and Mike caught some great fish. About 80 lbs. You also probably missed the great news that I got a Mac, and Ipod touch. Which I recently installed the game Spore on. It is a great game, both me as a 20 year old and my nephews at 11 and 8 love the game. Just going to prove its a wonderful game for all ages. As of now, Mike and I are getting ready to head to Oregon on the 7th. After a long time looking for a car rental we finally found one in Seattle. It is E-Z Rent A Car so if you ever need a car and your underage this is the place to go. Mike is going to do a presentation to the school for the blind. Which should be relatively interesting. Then we are planning to go visit some friends, and stopping by at our favorite food spots: Red Robin, Yangs, Dairy Queen, lol You get the point. Well that is all for now, be on the lookout for new posts, themes and jokes.

~Random~

May 23, 2008

So.. I havent wrote a post in a long time and thought I would write a half way updated one. Well, I’m getting ready to possibly be going and watching a movie with Sasha at 3:05, Made of Honor , I am thinking that it should be relatively good… it sounds good. I will update later and let you guys now how it was. Last week I went and watched What Happens In Vegas I really like it. I thought it was relatively funny. It had everyone, in the packed theatre that we were in laughing. It was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time, but of course I havent went and watched movies in a long time… So that could be one reason.
Also, mike and I will have to be sharing a computer all weekend, becuase his macbook had the harddrive go out of it. He borrowed a computer from the school, but since Monday is a holiday he has to take it back tonight, and will be out of a computer until Tuesday. So that kinda sucks. Hopefully he will get his macbook back sometime soon.
Were also getting ready to head to Alaska in 23 days, I’m hoping Mike likes it… Since well I’m kinda dragging him up there to live. We arent sure if were going to take summer classes yet, we were going to take some throught WOU but he found out that since he dont have enough credits to be considered a Sophmore, becuase of taking a month off for Guide Dog training that he can not get financial aid for summer term. So… We dont know if we are going to take some through Distance Ed in Alaska, or what we will do about that.
Also, I thought I would just post a random thing that I found in my old emails. That I thought you all would enjoy, becuase well, I’m bored. Smile. And Im sure if you taking the time to read this boring blog you are to… lol.

A four-year-old child, whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman, who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman’s yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.

When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy just said, ‘Nothing, I just helped him cry.’

*********************************************************

Teacher Debbie Moon’s first graders were discussing a picture of a family One little boy in the picture had a different hair color than the other members. One of her students suggested that he was adopted.

A little girl said, ‘I know all about adoption, I was adopted..’

‘What does it mean to be adopted?’, asked another child.

‘It means’, said the girl, ‘that you grew in your mommy’s heart instead of her tummy!’

*********************************************

On my way home one day, I stopped to watch a Little League base ball game that was being played in a park near my home. As I sat down behind the bench on the first-base line, I asked one of the boys what the score was?

‘We’re behind 14 to nothing,’ he answered with a smile.

‘Really,’ I said. ‘I have to say you don’t look very discouraged.’

‘Discouraged?’, the boy asked with a puzzled look on his face….

‘Why should we be discouraged? We haven’t been up to bat yet.’

*********************************************

Whenever I’m disappointed with my spot in life, I stop and think about little Jamie Scott.

Jamie was trying out for a part in the school play. His mother told me that he’d set his heart on being in it, though she feared he would not be chosen.

On the day the parts were awarded, I went with her to collect him after school. Jamie rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement. ‘Guess what, Mom,’ he shouted, and then said those words that will remain a lesson to me…..’I've been chosen to clap and cheer.’

******************************************************

An eye witness account from New York City , on a cold day in December, some years ago: A little boy, about 10-years-old, was standing before a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold.

A lady approached the young boy and said, ‘My, but you’re in such deep thought staring in that window!’

‘I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes,’was the boy’s reply.
The lady took him by the hand, went into the store, and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought them to her.

She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and,

removing her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with the towel.

By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair upon the boy’s feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes.

She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him… She patted him on the head and said, ‘No doubt, you will be more comfortable now.’

As she turned to go, the astonished kid caught her by the hand, and looking up into her face, with tears in his eyes, asked her.

‘Are you God’s wife?’

Well Hope you all have a good day and weekend!

Im still sick :(

April 29, 2008

So… I havent wrote a blog in awhile so thought I would update you all…

 I’m still sick… i dont know whats wrong with me, but this is going on a week, and well every time I get sick I end up having to go to the ER. Which sucks, so I’m hoping that dont happen.

We also got my computer fixed a couple days ago… Finally found all the plug ins for it and am able to use internet after hours of searching.

Lastly, I learned the other day how to clean up brownish blackish pouk off of a white floor…. Yeah… Mike got sick… So… Yeah I searched the web trying to figure out what to do to get it out, and I came across an article on DIY that said to use dishwasher soap…. So I pulled out the dishwasher soap and well it got it out… Now I just have to finish getting the soap out of the carpet but i guess we could just leave it there til we move out and clean the carpets after all its better than the dark stain… Well, Anyways, Im off to find mikes article so that I can post it on here.
