Here comes the winter storm!

We are expecting a winter storm from noon until 6 a.m. tomorrow. If we stay above freezing, it might not be so bad. That's what I'm hoping. I still feel sick and now, I'm having stomach cramps and nausea. I feel miserable and can't wait until this passes. I just want to get back to my life. I am working on projects for my work while at home and I completed my assignments for class early. I want to keep my average up so as to obtain scholarships.

On a happy note, in one month is Spring Break! My cousin Leesa and I are going to be in Eureka Springs for most of the week. We are staying at a Best Western. On the way back, we are visiting Grove, Oklahoma for the day.

Next month is going to be a busy month. On March 9-10, I am volunteering at the Big 12 conference at the BOK Center. I am truly excited to put this experience on my resume. On the 15th, I am going on a bus tour sponsored by Tulsa Community College to see the Mother Road. We will have Michael Wallis, the voice of the sheriff in the movie, Cars.

On March 27th, I am going to my neurologist to talk about where we go from here. My seizures are better controlled now and I know my triggers; hormones and stress. He has said I will remain on Lamictal, but may be taken off Topamax. I only take Topamax when my seizures spike since it tends to cause the "Dory syndrome," ie, forgetfulness.

So that's my life right now. April 1st, we will be having a spring carnival that I am volunteering with in the Commons at my college. That is also the day that enrollment for summer/fall opens. I will be enrolling in The Connection both semesters and this fall, I will be a full-time student so as to be eligible for scholarships.

The classes I'm considering:

summer--Honors Connection
               TBA (depending on what I get into)

 fall--      Honors Connection   
              Spanish 1
              Principles of Advertising
              Videography (for my digital media certificate)
 

I will keep you updated...

Life is getting back to normal

It has been a rough few months with lots of personal issues. I'm glad to say that things have settled and are calming down. On the plus side, I have an interview with a PR agency Monday morning on what things I would like to do in the company. I approached the CEO online and they were apparently impressed with what they saw. I'm also working as a Business Manager or commonly known as Account Executive at my college. I am also enrolled in 9 hours for the spring semester; Honors TCC Connection, Intercultural Communication (online) and Writing for the Mass Media. Christmas prep is going along great. Most of our gifts are under the tree or in stockings. Kenneth as usual, wanted socks and underwear. Lol. He chooses practical gifts for the most part. I'm also getting him some gift cards and candy. I'm getting us both a pair of Christmas pajamas that we can wear Christmas Eve. I got a griddle for my mom. It's the only thing she asked for. I have a few gifts under ...

Things are looking up

Things are changing around here... My husband got a promotion to Assistant Manager at Wal Mart. We are waiting to find out where his job will be. It could be within driving distance of Tulsa, but we aren't for sure. We do know it should be in this area. He has to attend a four week class to be trained in his new job before he is moved. Which means that Japan is postponed until a later date. Another bit of good news...I'm going back to college. I'm attending Tulsa Community College and studying Strategic Communications, otherwise known as Public Relations. I will be finishing my Associates degree there and lack 6-8 classes! I am also being approved for financial aid. I will only be going part time since that is what my aid will cover due to my previous degree. This works out well for me anyway due to having seizures and being unable to take on a full schedule. Once I have completed this degree, I will be attending Oklahoma State University to finish my B.A. in Strate...

Hello there!

Hello! For those who don't know me, let me pour you a glass of sweet tea and let's chat. My name is Gabrielle Farringer and I am a Disney fanatic. I always have been ever since I was a little girl. A little about me: I am happily married to a man named Kenneth since 2006, but we've been together since 2000. Our 12th wedding anniversary comes up next month on June 17th. I have a spirited furbaby, Nando who is the light of my life. I love Disney, WWE, cooking, shopping, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. My first trip to Walt Disney World was on June 18, 2006 when we stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter for four days, followed by a 3 day cruise on the Wonder. It was a fabulous time and one we still fondly remember! Since then, I have visited Walt Disney World 10+ times and Disneyland twice. My husband and I took another cruise on the Wonder in 2010 as well. I am looking forward to sharing more with you and hearing from you! Tata for now Gabrie...
