Seans Locks Of Love



Sean has recently been laid off from his job of almost 5 years, the company was slowly downsizing and he was basically one of the last technicians to leave.

Well Sean is a seriously dedicated man to finding another job. He has been workin his hind off to find a job that will take care of us and my medical situation.

So what did he do to make sure he will get hired, he cut his hair, yup. Thats a great man, he knows it wouldn't be as easy finding one lookin like a hippie with long hair, so he cut his beautiful hair and donated it to Locks of Love.
By the time it came to cutting it, I definitely got used to it and didn't want it to be cut off, I really did like his long locks. But now I have the man that I was used to and love, he looks like Sean Green again. He is beautiful and sexy no matter which way he wears his hair. I will want him to grow it long again, why not right? Its going to good use when it gets cut off.

Breast Cancer Ribbon


I want to thank McKenna and Oscar for helping me with my Ribbon!




October is Breast Cancer awareness month and I have had this idea for a big pink ribbon made from metal to put in my front yard for the month. I really didn't have any idea how i was to accomplish this on my own for I don't weld myself. But i do have a brother and a dad and other family members that are gifted in that area.



I also had 2 of my students that are in high school that also weld, I wasn't sure this was something they could do in their welding class so i just decided to post it on facebook.

Well minutes after i posted it, my student text me and tells me her dad would love to make one for me.

Well to make a long story short not even a week after i posted it did he deliver it to me October 2ND.






How great is this! I get so paranoid that someone is gunna steal it because it is so unique.






Here is the finished product.

Garage Sale for Breast Cancer

This email was originally from my mom Margie Kocherhans and the garage sale will take place at her home. Anything to help us raise money would be great!


Dear friends and family:
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month---

This Friday and Saturday I am having a garage sale, for two purposes: For the good of our family and for Breast Cancer Awareness Month--
My daughters and family members want to do the Breast Cancer walk, and your proceeds would enable us to participate in this event in November.
-with my being a survivor of 21 years, and my daughter of one year, my sister who passed away from this disease, and other family members who have experienced similar concerns I feel it is my duty to contribute.
I am asking for your donations--
if you could, please bring your items to my home @ 1627 E Gable Ave --
please put them in front of my door or the garage.

I appreciate your support. Margie Kocherhans

Cans for Cancer

I'm still alive and kicken. I really want to do the breast cancer walk at the capitol in October.
So I would like to raise some money for my enrollment and hopefully if I get enough I can pay for my moms also.
Times are tough for all of us, so the easiest and pay free way of raising money without you guys having to give money to me is..........

~~~~~~~~CANS~~~~~~~

I am saving ALL our pop cans and saving them for Cash for Cans.
So far the price for aluminum has gone down and i am just holding on to the few bags i have until the price goes up a bit more.

SO what I would like to ask all of you is, if you drink pop or anything that comes in a can if you could save your cans for me, I would gladly pick them up if you leave them somewhere outside I would come and take them off your hands.

I just get a garbage bag or even the grocery bags and put them in there and them set it in my garage. Even if all you can give is a handful of cans i would appreciate it.
Anything I am greatful for.

So far both my moms have been fantastic about saving there cans. Thanks mommas!

Let me know if you are saving them and i can stop by and pick them up.

Obama Shmama! :(

For those of you who are in the dark or just dont want to listen to Obama speakin and opening his mouth and not apologizing for it, I dont blame ya. N E Ways, I could go on forever how his new reformed health care is NOT right for me. Anyone who knows of anyone who has had cancer or suffers from it themselves need to let their voice be heard and let congress know that cancer survivors and patients need to pick ther own freakin doctors and make sure EVERYTHING is covered by your insurance.

I have included a site where all you have to do is put in your info and your name will be added to the petiton for congress about this health care crisis and to not forget about those of us who have had cancer impact their lives.

Please~ Please~ please~ I urge you to take a few minutes and sign the petition and forward it to your friends and family.

My boo with A Boo Boo

So its 6AM on Thursday morning while Havik and i do our regular rollerblading on Lindsay road from University to the McKellips.

Well this morning there happened to be a stray Australian Shepard walking down Lindsay.
So me being the good dog owner I am, stopped with havik because he was headed in our direction and I just knew that there was going to be something bad happen. Havik was great sitting next to me being patient. So i thought if I stay this far back then the dog will hopefully go down one of the residential streets and we can be on our way.
Well the dog finally noticed us and he bolted across the street, sh**!
i was so scared cuz here came the flow of traffic and he barely missed a car, who honked its horn at it. Yeah like dogs know what that means, its called pay attention drivers and use your breaks and slow down.
Well while the dog bolted across Haviks leash had a knot in it where he had decided to chew through it waiting for me one day.
Yeah so he took off after the dog across the street and me on Rollerblades can only do so much, so here's the news, Havik got hit by a car! yup i saw it in slow motion too, a putt putt peanut red truck with two Mexicans in it. Sorry i have to tell you the race because they didn't stop after they hit him, No they kept on driving, I'm sure they had something so important to attend that they couldn't even stop and see how the dog was after they hit it. Its not like he was a stray, I was literally 5 feet from Havik as he got hit.
So Havik got side swiped on his head from the tire, a few more inches and he would have got ran over but he missed the front of the tire and just got rubbed on the side of it. i had an opening an crossed the street while the dogs looked like they were gunna cross the street, but i talked as calmly as i could so Havik would come to me and the dog took off into Mt. View parking lot. This took place directly where the entrance is of Mt. View. Not the section where the light is but the one closest to the seminary building.
Havik came to me easily because I remained calm enough. We took a rest on the median of the entrance to the student parking lot.
It looked as though no serious damage, just lots of black stuff on his side, a little blood my his jowls but that's it.
Called Sean and he couldn't do anything, so then i called Vanessa my sister to see if there was anything she could help me with. Nessa is a vet tech and has helped me with Havik in so many ways.
Well What to do now, go home and just watch him cuz he just got hit by a car or keep exercising? He wasn't showing any pain, but he never does, even when he has those weed thorny things that stick into his paws.
So he kept on going and wanted to pull me like normal.
What an awesome dog, he got a bath, some pain pills so he can chill while i am gone working and hopefully when i come home he's still alive.
Drama! and major drama at that.
What an awesome dog I have, I truly believe that if he wasn't a pitbull he would have been smashed and hurt badly, how do I know? I have had a dog die on my that way, our little Oreo got hit by a car too. And Nessa's Jasper got hit by a car too. I was lucky he has a brick for a skull.

Below are the pics of the proof this tough dog went through:(
