They have risen...

The following is a shameless post... It is about my true addiction, which I can openly admit. My name is Kerianne Whicker, and I am addicted to pumpkin carving.

For the last few weeks, I have been eagerly anticipating the re-launch of my absolute favorite pumpkin carving site. To my surprise, as I logged on this morning, I found my patient waiting had payed off, the new site had risen overnight!


(You can click the banner, and it will take you straight to the site)

To anyone who carves pumpkins, whether the silly faces, or the elaborate patterns, do yourself a favor and visit this site! The ZombiePumpkins website will blow your socks off! I have, yes already, slowly but surely started carving some pumpkins. Artificial of course! More updates to come for sure... But if you feel the need, visit the site. I promise, you will not find better... Well, anywhere!

The Other Whickers...

We went over the the other Whickers' home last week to visit the adorable Capri, and her very happy parents! Capri is absolutely perfect... I could hold her all day, although I doubt her mom would let me keep her that long! (And who could blame her! I'm not sure I'd share that cute baby at all!) The bottom line is, this family is probably the sweetest you've ever seen.


I stole this picture from Ranell's myspace- I must give credit where it is due!

As of today...

I am no longer a Bank Teller! This week marks a HUGE turning point in mine, and Nate's life! I have done my time at Wells Fargo Bank; I will miss everyone at the branch. Such a great group of people is hard to leave behind, but I have new, and exciting things waiting for me...

Tomorrow will be my first day as a Pharmacy Technician in training!

Target has kindly, and graciously brought me on to teach me the trade! I must thank Ranell here, and now. She has helped me more than I can ever say, and I am more appreciative than I can ever express. I think this will be a great fit for me; I am so excited! Everyone cross your fingers for me; I will be studying to my hearts content!

She's here!

The entire family was excited to meet Brandon and Ranell's new little lady...
Capri (Renae) Whicker!

She finally, to her mother's relief, joined her very proud parents August 31st, 2008. She is absolutley beautiful, just like her new mom. Her parents are beaming, this is such a fun time! We are so excited to spend more time with their growing family. Congratulations Brandon and Ranell, and welcome to the family Capri!

O what a day O what a day!

Everything went fine on this beautiful Monday, until about 8 o'clock. Nate (or should I say me) started to complain about a pain in my back. Lo and behold it’s another lovely kidney stone.(I think this takes the count to 22 ish) So about 10 p.m finally decided that the pain was getting to un-bearable so we drove to the E.R. Got some tests done and then was finally home by 1:30 the next day. Now if you are thinking to yourself saying ( humm I want a kidney stone...) well DONT they suck they hurt more than anything you could imagine. So finally we got home and got to sleep only to wake up at 7 to go to work in the morning. On my way to work the tie rod (controls steering) broke and yanked my car sideways into some full garbage cans! OUCH. So $150 dollars later the tie rod is fixed, and the car is once again running well.

Wednesday I woke up with more surprises (pain like no other!) so had to take a few pills and they knock me out so I ended up not going to work today (figured it wasn’t best to drive)

Last Saturday
When my little sister got home I went shopping with her and got myself a new Bristle board (dart board) Darts is a new fascination of mine.

My LOVELY day off!

So today was just great! I had a staff meeting early this morning, and after that the day was all mine! I had a Friday all to myself... Which I don't think I have had in... Well... I don't remember the last time! I spent the morning running errands, and the afternoon with Ranell. It was so much fun! She is ready to have Capri any day, and she looks absoultely stunning! I cannot wait to meet their little girl! We spent our afternoon talking, and scrapbooking. (She is teaching me the ropes... her pages are so pretty! She's a good teacher!) It was a great day. I hope to get to spend lots more time over with Ranell, and Capri too! I will become a scrapbooking fanatic!

We're off....

To test my car's midlife crisis. The Focus was giving me MORE trouble last week, Nate tinkered with it, but to be sure we're going to take a short little trip to Idaho today. Keep yoour fingers crossed for us! I hope the troubles are over!
