In between the many calls at work today, I thought of my blog. I used to spew my opinions freely and frequently, but life got busy and I kinda forgot about this little platform. No big opinions or profound thoughts today - just an update on life through some photos. Strawberry season occupied nearly all my mental capacity for the month of June. We were blessed with a good year, but boy oh boy am I glad that strawberry season is not any longer than it is. Treated our strawberry pickers to ice cream one day.   Martina helped me keep the shortcakes stocked - they definitely were a hit!! Ended June with summer Bible School. Our theme was aviation Planting strawberries for next year - we had some wonderful helpers and it went very well!! Low country boil with the Allgyers Several evenings spent with my family on the river A bridal shower Elissa's goat had a cute little kid Austin's sister Kayla got married and we were honored to be part of the bridal party A very fun day at Knoebels...

Well hello and welcome back to my little space of the internet! The short hiatus dragged out much longer than I anticipated:) Anyway.....

She also said I should blog about our wedding. I like that idea:) *** Friday afternoon we set up the reception, held at Maranatha.

Early the next morning, Austin came to pick me up from my parents house for the last time before we were married. We had our first look in the back yard of my parents AirBnB. Of course we had to take a picture where it all started:) My Family Sisters!😊 Austin's Family Left to right: Austin's brother Anthony, Austin, Brian, and Michael Burkholder (Best Man)  Kayla (Maid of Honor; Aus...

A look back…

 2 years ago this week, I walked into a testing site to take my National Registry Exam. I was 17 and absolutely terrified. Due to c🦠vid, my class had ended prematurely and I didn’t feel very prepared for the test. That afternoon, I repeatedly checked the website and was shocked but very excited to see I had passed! I started out intending only to run with my local EMS agency as time allowed, but it wasn’t long before I realized I wanted to do it as a full time job.  Just a few short weeks after my 18th birthday, I applied for a job as a transport EMT. I was hired to start the interfacility transport program for DH&L. I knew nothing about IFT, but spent a lot of time talking to different agencies and providers, gathering information as well as tips and tricks.  When a 911 position became available in April, I passed the transport program onto a newer hire and began the 24on/72off schedule that I’m still doing at this present time.  It’s not always fun and glamoro...
