A Grand Total of ...

Okay, so I am still new to this whole blogging thing. I know that Bethany got used to it real quickly. Here it is the end of my first month on blogger and I have a grand total of 9 blogs for the month. Compare that with Bethany's first month of blogging-a grand total of 24 blogs. Sorry, sis, I will try to be more like you in August!

Dos Semanas Mas

Okay, so two weeks from tomorrow is the first day of school. Am I ready to go back to school? Yes and no. I am not ready because I am not ready to wake up every morning at 7 am. I am ready to go back to school because I am a Senior now, which means I have to work hard, but it will be a great year. I am also excited about my cute little cousin, Lexie, starting K-4. It will be a great year, I'm just not sure if I'm ready, but Bring it On!

Ouch!!

I burned myself today at work and it hurt really badly. But I am willing to sacrifice my finger so that the customers remain happy. I also did not get paid today because Bill is out of town so I have to wait til Thursday. Go Team Chick-fil-A.

(It's) Hairspray

So I saw this movie yesterday and today and let me tell you: I give it two thumbs up!!!


It's been a long time since I have seen a good, clean musical. And let me tell you, it it flippin hilarious, especially John Travolta...I'm laughing now just thinking about it. Anyway, I recommend this movie for the family. You can't stop the beat

These are a few pictures from my trip to Six Flags.

This is the most amazing superhero to ever save mankind!


This was as as we were going up to the top during Texas Chute Up.



This is my wonderful sister, Kelli and me!


And one more of everyone's favorite superhero!

you can SIT under my umbrella

Today I went to Six Flags Over Texas. We went because my dad's wonderful students (thanks guys) bought our family season tickets to any Six Flags so that we could spend time together as a family. I love family. I love my family.

Today I rode a ride called Texas Chute Up where you sit and it takes you a long way up and then it chutes you down! Yes, I am afraid of heights and no, it wasn't as bad as it sounded. There are pictures to follow...

this is for the ladies....and gentleman

Have you ever wondered what goes on in the Chick-fil-a store while you are sleeping? This blog is for the morning ladies and gentleman: Cheryl, Claudia, Brenda, Liz, Elizabeth, Linda, Rosa, Liliana, Christina, Julia, Sarah, and Sylavong.

I had the opportunity to work with these fabulous people this week, and let me tell you, these people work hard. Most of the ladies get to Chick-fil-A about 4 o'clock in the morning to get ready for the day. They also roll the dough for the biscuits so that your food is always fresh, never frozen. Although Chick-fil-a isn't very busy in the morning, these people get ready for the day so that whenever everyone else comes in, its a breeze.

So next time you go to Chick-fil-A during breakfast or lunch, thank the ladies for all the hard work that they do. They make everything with love.

do you know...what I mean...when I say?

When it comes to work, most people think, "Ugh, another day at the office." When I think of it, I get excited. As most of you know (from the title of my blog), I work at Chick-fil-A and I absolutely love it!!!

One reason I love it so much is because of all the great people that work there. There are so many different people that make working there fun. Another reason is because working there has allowed me to meet alot of different people (customers) and say hi to the customers I already know like Coach Bird, Melanie, the "strip guy", our numerous "sweet tea customers", and of course my favorite is Bethany the "#5 8 pack and a dr. pepper " girl.

Well, today was especially a good day for me. I had ordered some shoes because a certain dog (*clears throat* Roddick) ate up my other shoes. Today they came in and so I was super excited. My boss, Bill, called me back to give me my paycheck. As he gave it to me, he pointed me to a note he had written me on the check stub. It said "This is only the start for you, Joey. BR" and circled that I got a raise.

So yes, I had a great day at work today. If you are ever in the neighborhood (or even if you're not) then come see me at Chick-fil-A on Sherwood Way.

praise God...in the storm!

Hey everybody, this is my first post so I hope you enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy writing it.

Anyway, I went to the doctor last friday for my 6th month check-up. Initially, I was not excited about the trip because going out of town just did not appeal to me at the moment. So my appointment was scheduled at 11:30 and I did not think I was going to get in till 12:30 (because of long waits on previous visits). Surprisingly, I walked in about 11:20 and I signed in and not even 5 minutes later they called my name. Alright, so the wait wasn't very long. I waited in the doctor's room until he came in and redirected us (me and my parents) downstairs where I would have a full body scan. After I did the body scan, I went back in the doctor's room until he came in and said that my levels were gradually rising (which is a good thing)! Praise God! And this is because I haven't been on the awful medicine. Well, most of you know that I hate having blood work done. He then said that he did not think that blood work was necessary so thats another Praise God! And I do not have to go back till July 11, 2008, that's another Praise God! So basically, I had a really good doctor's visit all under an hour! (how much better can it get?)

Thanks to everyone who has been praying for me and continue praying that my levels will continue to keep going up! Praise God!
