Scrap Goodies and Starbucks.....

I got some scrap goodies in the mail yesterday. I was so stinking excited! The new distress ink is too cool. It's bright blue and orange. Broken China and Spiced Marmalade to be exact, I also got some Hiedi Swapp and doodlebug silk flowers, as well as some doodlebug buttons. Yipee! To make it even better, tonight after work, I'm hooking up with Lou and Nuna for some starbucks. Could this week get any better??

L.O.V.E. this girl!

I have always been an A.S fan, I love almost all her songs, her funky style and her coolness under pressure involving her big sis. I always thought she was pretty in her own quirky way too. Tonight, I saw she released the video for her new song invisible, so I checked it out. WHOA! When she started singing I almost did not recognize her!! She looks awesome, beyond awesome. She is so much more pretty than Jess. I'm not sure if she's still denying the nose job or not, I don't really care. Either way she looks wonderful. Check it out at the bottom of the blog.

Nothing makes a day better.....

Then coming home to pretty girls in your e-mail box! These lovely ladies belong to to my good friend Tara. When I first met them Julie was only 1 1/2! Yes, it was a long time ago! Almost 6 years! My how time flies! Love you guys:)

Monday=Blah!

I needed to be at work at 8 a.m. I have so much stuff to get done since they took away my collections guy. I hate doing collections. Not so much the collecting part, but the tedious paperwork that goes with it. We had 21 returned checks on Friday. I didn't get a chance to start any of them. We'll probably have the same amount today. Can we say overwhelmed? I need to do all that in addition to my normal managerial duties. Oh joy. I reset my weight loss counter. I'm starting over from today. I haven't been keeping track of points very well. One good thing about my collections guy being gone is I won't eat out as much. He was always running to get food and getting me some too. Now I'll be to busy to eat since I'll be doing his job and mine! I better go, since I didn't make it there by 8, I need to be there by 9! Have a great day folks.

Mindless blabbing.....

Not a lot going on here at the Hallock house. I think I am going to look for a new job. I am feeling super under appreciated in my current position. I wish I could stop working. I can't wait for Jason to start rolling at his new job. This working woman crap is not what I signed up for! I want to be home, I want to drive carpool, I want to be room mom, I want all the goods and bads that go with being a stay at home mom. I love it. I miss it. Can you tell I'm not into women's lib? LOL! Jason and I found a house we would love to buy. Buy it needs a lot of work. It's in the same neighborhood we are in now, just a few streets over. 4-2.5-2, with a formal living and dining, family room and game room. It's a foreclosed so it's going for super cheap. BUT, it needs carpet, and sink, from what we can tell from looking through the windows. The good Lord, only know what else! The asking price is pretty cheap though, so if we could add the money to our loan for the other stuff we might be okay. Jason and I are so NOT handy. It would be a learning experience, no doubt. Anthony got a hair cut today. He was in desperate need! He was looking scraggly. Some friends from our life group took A and C for 3 hours today so the Hallock family and the Duke family could have some alone time. It was great. We didn't do anything special, just lunch then to Barnes and Noble. The kids loved it though. They deserve it. I guess that is all for now. My nothing turned out to be quite a bit. I'm hoping to scrapbook a little tonight. I'm working on a page that is is VERY special to me. I can't wait to finish it so I can post it. First, I have to clean though! I'm off. Happy Saturday Folks!

Happy Birthday Baby!

My hubby is turning 31 today! WoW! We were such babies when we first met. It's hard to believe that he was 20 when we started dating, and now we are celebrating 31......

Happy Birthday Hunny!

To all men

"Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib. Not from his feet to be walked on. Not from his head to be superior, but from the side to be equal. Under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved."

Here's to you Katina, Justyne, Diana, Staci, Melibelle, Misty, Claudia and all my other scrapper friends!

World’s Greatest Scrapper

You may not see her layouts
In any of the magazines
Although she scraps her babies and teens
And some kids in between.
She takes photos daily
And is the best recorder of life by far
With some of her best action shots
Taken from her moving car.
She rarely has time for photo shoots
But she snaps each special event
To record her family’s history
She lists as her main intent.
Her days are filled with carpools
Driving kids here and there
She is a dedicated mother
And takes her camera everywhere.
Her photos are a reflection
Of her life each day
And on her pages she records
Her memories in a positive way.
She doesn’t scrap for editors
Or for products to display
She scraps life as it is
She scraps the everyday.
But when she brings her albums out
A hush over the room will fall
For everyone in the familyloves
Mom’s albums best of all!

Thena Smith

Friends...

I am so totally blessed with friends. I have so many close friends. Ladies who I can call anytime and say darn near anything. I feel sad when I hear people say, I only have 1 best friend, or I don't trust people so I'm not close to anyone..... It almost breaks my heart!

All love all my girlfriends equally. They all meet my emotional needs. I know exactly which one to call, e-mail, IM, or text message when I have problems, questions, concerns or just need to vent. I know I've been VERY needy the past 18 months, I am so thankful that they are still answering my calls!

I don't even think she knew....

Yesterday Lou and boys came over to hang out and swim. We went to our community pool which is super cool. We went down the slides, played in the baby pool under the water falls and mushrooms, it was great. Lou was looking HOT! I don't even think she knows how hot she looks, she has lost almost 25 pounds in the last 3 months, and she is smokin'. About 10:30 Jason decides he wants a starbucks, so we hop in the Kia and head out. Lou decides she doesn't want anything, so only Jason and I order. We get up to the window, we are BSing with the baristas, and one of the guys notice that there are 2 drinks and pastries and 3 people in the car. So he ask who isn't getting one, and why. She says she doesn't want one, he says it's on him what does she want.... He was totally flirting with her and she had NO clue! He even gave her a free brownie! I'm telling you she is lookin' good! All hail the hottie Katina!

For the Love of Watermelons!

Random Thoughts.....

No real stories or news from the Hallock clan today. Other clans have news, but I have to wait for them to announce it.........

My DM hinted today at a promotion. I could be reading to much into it, or I could be right. As far as I know there is not a position vacating, but that doesn't mean there isn't one. I'm thinking of trying my hand at banking. This job has given me great skills to work in a bank. Chase is building a new bank on the corner by our house in the fall, I'm thinking of checking it out. Even better would be if Jason starts high rolling at this new job. Then I could just be a stay at home mom again. Wouldn't that be the bees knees???

In August I will begin teaching 5th and 6th grade Sunday school with my super, great pal Lana. I haven't worked with the youth since Germany. I am very excited to be able to work with this impressionable age. It's a time when they really begin to understand Christ and what he means in their lives.

The kiddos(all 6) are doing well, let' s do a run down:

Elize: Recently got a hair cut and is looking mighty cute. Jumped into the pool at the deep end tonight and had a little scare. Actually, from what I hear the lifeguard may have been more scared....

Jonathan: Is hooked on his new math game. He is such a math buff! He loves, money, numbers, counting, addition, subtraction, all of it. I sometimes wonder if he were to count sheep if he would do it by 2's........

Savannah: Ball of Fire. No other words for her. She truly believes she is 14. She has the attitude a pre-teen. Heaven help me now. It might help if she were ugly, but she's not. I have been getting stopped since she was an infant with people telling me how beautiful she is, and it hasn't let up as she's gotten older. I often hear," you should but her in modeling". Um, NO! Her diva attitude is big enough.

Anthony: He started attending bi-weely speech therapy. He goes Mon and Wed for 30 minutes. Thankfully he loves it. He never wants to leave. He goes to the ENT and Audiologist the first week in August. He still has his rough patches, but for the most part has improved 100% since he's been with us.

Carolyn: I'm not sure if she's lazy or delayed. Maybe a little bit of both. She is 15 months old and still not walking. She is just now trying to stand up alone. With the exception of Cliff, she is a man hater. Whenever Jason evens looks at her she screams. It's kind of a good thing, it's taken that "maybe we should have another baby" thought out of his mind. Keep on screaming Carolyn!

Ashyra: My sweet precious spaz, of Ashyra. She's all over the place. Climbing, crawling, walking, stumbling, and doin' it all over again. Tonight she was all over Misty like white on rice. Not lovin' on her, but crawling on her! Mount Mommy was going to be conquered! She 's has this smile that lights up a room. You can't help but smile back at her. Besides, who doesn't love a one year old who's already wiping her own mouth!!

Isn't he hairy and handsome??

This is Jason, the love of my life, the man of dreams, the father of my children, the provider of my family(and a couple others right now!), he is wonderful. He is patient, kind, giving, hardworking, and loyal.

Today is his first day on his new job. He is 50/50, part scared, part excited. There is no turning back now. Pray for a great day, and a wonderful experience.

This says it all....

Oh yes, I rock!

Rainy Day Fun

It's amazing that this is fourth of July, but it is. Hopefully the sun will come back out and we can BBQ and party tonight!
Happy 4th Ya'll!

Presto! Chango!

Elize was in desperate need of a new do. Her hair was crazy dry, it was getting harder and harder to care for. What's a mom to do? Cut it! Oh my, she looks so cute now!

Not a lot goin' on.....

Not much to blog about. I scrapped a little with my girl Nuna last night. We went on a 2 hour wild goose chase for embossing powder. I went to Hobby Lobby for the first time in a long time, and WOW, they had some neat new stuff. I can't imagine what it would be like at ReCollections! Today we went to a church fellowship at another members house. It was so fun. All the kids were jumping off the diving board, even Anthony! It's amazing how arm floaties give you confidence. I have to work tomorrow, but after work Lou is comimg over to scrap. YEA! 2 scrap dates in 3 days, I'm pretty pumped about that.

So I'm totally copying, my girl Cynthia here.......

My Girls Are Coming Home!

Elize and Ashyra have been gone since the Sunday aftter school got out. I'm not sure exactly how long that's been, except for TOO LONG! Misty left this morning to go pick them up. It will restore our home to full crazy mode, but I don't care. I'm so ready for them to be back. Ashyra is walking, yes, walking! I can't wait to see her toddle around.

Civilian

This is what I have been for 24 hours now. It's weird, part of me feels like I've been a civilian since August 2001 when we came into recruiting, and part of me feels like I'll never really be a civilian. As long as I've been been an adult, I've been connected to the Army. I have never been just a wife it's always been SPC Hallock's wife, SGT Hallock's wife, an Army wife, the squad leaders wife, SSG Hallock's wife, the Station commanders wife. Now I am Mr. Hallock's wife. Mr Hallock??? What's up with that? It sounds so......Normal. There was(and is) pride in your last name being fronted by a military rank. It sounds noble. Now were normal, not that normal is bad, it's very good in this case. It'll just take a little getting used to......

Life

This is exactly how I feel right now, oh what a wise man Gary Allan is......

Life ain't always beautiful
Sometimes it's just plain hard.
Life can knock you down,
It can break your heart.
Life ain't always beautiful:
You think you're on your way.
And it's just a dead end road,
At the end of the day.
But the struggles make you stronger,
And the changes make you wise.
And happiness has it's own way,
Of takin' it's sweet time.
No, life aint always beautiful.
Tears will fall sometimes.
Life aint always beautiful,
But it's a beautiful ride.
Life aint always beautiful:
But the struggles make me stronger,
And the changes make me wise.
And happiness has it's own way
,Of takin' it's sweet time.
No, life aint always beautiful.
But I know I'll be fine.
Hey, life ain't always beautiful,
But it's a beautiful ride.
What a beautiful ride.

OMG! This one is SO me!

What Kind of Soul Are You?

Justyne's was a little bit her, a little bit not. This one is me dead on! How freaky is that???

What kind of shoe are you?

You are Barefoot!

You're a total free spirit, go with the flow girl You can't be restricted by shoes for very long And unsuprisingly, the same goes for men Your match is out there - and he's as carefree as you are

What Kind of Shoe Are You?

Abe and Savannah, although 7 years apart these 2 girls
are like 2 peas in a pod. They played, did art projects,
and sang karoke!


Justyne is one of my oldest friends, we met in November '98
while we were both in Germany. We were both big, huge, preggos
at the time. Who knew then that we would forge a bond
that has spanned 7 years, 5 kids, 2 countries, 2 deployments, 5 years in
recruiting, and many other countless life lessons!

Jonathan and Micah
Noah and Jonathan in their matching PJ's!

Those 2 boys are only 2 weeks apart(did you see the preggo

at the same time part earilier?) Jonathan calls Noah is "old"

friend b/c they have been friends since they were babies.

Adventure Science Center

Noah, Jonathan, Micah, Abriel, and Savannah

in front of the Adventure Science Center in Nashville Tn.

The Science Center was really neat. They had all sorts of great learning activites, for adults and children alike.

We're Home,

I'm going to bed:)

Hello from Ft. Campbell!!!

We arrived in TN about 11:15 this morning, we got our kiddos and headed to the Stroms. The kiddos ran right upstairs like they had been here a million times before. While Jason rested Justyne and I hit up the PX and Commissary. Oh the bargins. I forgot how cheap it is on post!! I think this is the ONLY thing I will miss about the Army. I got Jonathan pair of Nikes for school for 15 bucks! And New Balance for 12!! How awesome is that? Tomorrow we are going to the Adventure Science Center in Nashville. Then back home on Monday :( I'll post pics later!

Long Day...

Isn't
He
So
Cute!!









So I got to work at 9:15 this morning, and I didn't leave until 7:30. It wasn't real busy until 4 then WHAM! Every person in S.W. Fort Worth decided to drop by. By the time we got them cleared out, and did our work it was late. To make matters worse, someone from our Operations Team was supposed to take care of something for me, for a cutomer, but they didn't. By the time I noticed that they hadn't they were of course gone for the day. GRRRR, so I have to take care of it via the telephone while I'm the road tomorrow. Have I told you how much I think degrees are overated??? He spent who knows how much on college and he still can't do a simple task, and I have to pick up the slack. So annoying! Anyway.....

Jason got an e-mail today that Wednesday June 28, 2006 will be his last day in the Army. Hmmmm, I wonder how I should feel about this? Happy, sad, relieved, scared, unsure, nervous. I don't know. I am a little scared, but I think more then anything, I'm relieved. The Army has taken me to some awesome places, and I have met some GREAT(you know who you are) people along the way, but I'm done with it. It has worn out it's welcome in my life. It's not what I thought it was, or even what it used to be.



I'm getting my babies tomorrow! WOO-HOO! I can't wait to see them and hold them in my arms!! I have missed them so much.

Also, I need to place a disclaimer involving the drawing of the tattoo. It is not finished. It is just rough draft, and only one of several designs we are looking into. The Artist(that will make him feel special!) was concerned about me posting it b/c it wasn't finished.

Tattoo

This is Welton's first drawing for a tat for Misty, Katina and I. I really like it. I love how the 3 hearts are made with the same cord. It's never ending. The colors in the triangles are "our" colors. He's going to work on couple more, I'm so excited about this!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!

Today is my daddy's birthday! I wish I had a pic of him to put on here. He is tall and handsome and my hero. He's not perfect that is for sure, but he's mine. My dad, the only one I have and I love him.

Tattoo

Me, Lou, and Sister are getting a tattoo. For a few years the girlfriends have talked about it off and on. I think I'm finally ready. Scared, but ready! Lou found a super cool celtic thing, but it says it has wiccin and pagan roots, I'm not down with that. I really like the meaning though. I'm hoping that Wel can draw us up something similar, but more geared toward us. These are what we were looking at:

http://www.celticlady.com/flash/tm-1.html

http://www.celticlady.com/flash/ts-18.html

I have tried to search online, but it's a huge tattoo world out there!

On a super happy note: My kiddos are coming home in 4 days! YIPPEE! I can't wait. We are leaving on Saturday mrning to go get them. We will stop in TN to see my very good friend Justyne, then head back to Texas early next week.

Who doesn't want the American Dream?

I've heard this song before. It's not new. I've always liked it. They played it today at Church and it reallly hit home like it never has before. I felt we were slipping into this when Jason was actively Station Commanding. He was never home, always working. Thankfully, that is no more. Even if you don't have a job with long hours, or late nights you can probably relate it to your life. It's hard to not want to follow what others consider the American Dream. You see it, you think you want it too, but does it fullfill you? Nope.

Here are the words: Listen and Enjoy!


All work no play may have made Jack a dull boy
But all work no God has left Jack with a lost soul
But he's moving on full steam He's chasing the American dream
And he's gonna give his family the finer things

Not this time son I've no time to waste
Maybe tomorrow we'll have time to play
And then he slips into his new BMW
And drives farther and farther and farther away

So He works all day and tries to sleep at night
He says things will get better;
Better in time

And he works and he builds with his own two hands
And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand
But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
His kingdom stands

His American Dream is beginning to seem
More and more like a nightmare
With every passing day
"Daddy, can you come to my game?"
"Oh Baby, please don't work late."
Another wasted weekend
And they are slipping away

'Cause he works all day and lies awake at night
He tells them things will get better
It'll just take a little more time

He used to say, "Whoever dies with the most toys wins"
But if he loses his soul, what has he gained in the end
I'll take a shack on the rock
Over a castle in the sand
Now he works all day and cries alone at night
It's not getting any better
Looks like he's running out of time '
Cause he worked and he built with his own two hands
And he poured all he had in a castle made with sand
But the wind and the rain are coming crashing in
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
His kingdom stands

All they really wanted was You
All they really wanted was You
All they really wanted was You

Out with the old, in with the new

The old: SSG Halllock
US ARMY Station Commander
and one super stressed dude!!

The new: Mr. Hallock
Executive Recruiter,
and hopefully much less stressed dude!

Ivan called be yesterday to say that the CG signed off on Jason's paperwork! Yippee! It's going to be forwarded the the tranistional office at Ft. Sam Houston, they will cut orders and then he will begin clearing! It's going to be tough, and I am a little scared. I am more excited though! He has a job, I have a job, it'll be a new experiance. Hopefully a good one. I mean really, it can't be much worse right??

Words to live by....

Write your sister's weak points in the sand
and her strong points in stone.

No More Debbie Downer!

I was told by a friend that my blog was being becoming a downer to read. It was true. I'm still VERY hurt, but hopefully we'll work it out. I do love her very much, I think that's why it's so painful. ANYWAY, I said no more downers.......

Today at work I got my business cards! How cool is that? They say my name, Store Manager, with all the store info. Don't worry, each of you will be getting 4 or 5! I'm so proud of them. My assistant manager said it just means now they'll know my name when they call to complain instead of just "can I talk to your manager". LOL. Do you know what the best part of being the store manager is??? When people call and are complaining, and they don't like what I'm saying to them, so they say, "Let me talk to your manager" and I get to say " I AM THE MANAGER" HAHAHAHAHAHHA, oh the sweet silence when they hear that!

My first post with raw emotion

It's hard when someone you love so deeply hurts you. I don't know how people get over it. I'm not really one to hold a grudge, but this isn't just grudge type stuff. It's someone who you love, trust, respect, and adore making a mockery of your relationship. Basically saying the way you've felt doesn't really exist, the relationship(as you knew it) doesn't exist. You start to question yourself: Does it exist? Did it exist? Was I making it all up in my little mind? Are my other relationships based on lies and false words? Do they really exist?

Do they?

When on life's journey it becomes our lot to travel with criticism of skeptics, the hate of some, the rejection of others, the impatience of many, or a friend's betrayal, we must be able to pray in such a manner that an abiding faith and a strong testimony that the Lord will be with us to the end.....

Getting back into the swing of things.....

LO. me and my sisters I did today:)

Pic of my sweet family on a L.O.
Misc. pics of me, I did this last night

I'm in the mood for scrappin'

I slept in Late today, didn't make it up in time for church, and now I'm going let my housework fall to the wayside...BECAUSE I WANT TO SCRAP!!! It's been so long. Pretty much since I started working, March 6th for those of us keeping track. I'm going to straighten the living room and kitchen and that's it. I'll do the rest later. I just want to scrap:) I have some fabulous new maggie mae stamps that everyone has been drooling over. I even got to the meet the owner last night at GASC!! So awesome!

Today was a good day:)

My beautiful, precious, and sometimes wild children arrived safe and sound with their Daddy in TN today. Jason knocked Jonathan's other tooth out, so now he is missing his 2 bottom teeth. They swam, and are all pumped to head to PA tomorrow.

I spent the evening with 2 of my best girls Katina and Staci. We went to the Great American Scrapbook Convention and had a super time. I can honestly say I did not get much done. I had a great time though. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to work on some stuff a little bit. I kind of have the bug again:)

I also got to chit-chat with a friend of mine who I have not talked to in awhile. It was great to catch up and here what a smokin' hot babe she's turned into! Tara you rock!!!

They're Gone.....

My babies are on the road. Please pray for a safe and easy trip.

Ramble, Ramble, Ramble.......

Tomorrow my babies leave :( I'm so not ready. Jason is. I keep pointing out to him that they did not grow in him for 38-41 weeks. I'm trying to be strong, but please keep in mind this will be the longest they have been away from me. College Smollege, these children are NEAVER leaving(again)!

On a happier note: THE MAVS WON!
It truly was a sorry excuse of a game. They played crappy and still beat them by 10 points, geuss that shows how bad the Heat really is. Dirk got the crap knocked out of him 1st quarter, I am blamimg his medicore performance on that. Today they are giving away tickets for Sundays game away. Wish me luck!

$292.80

That's how much it cost me to pick my van from the dealership. It was supposed to be a 139.95 service, then (of course) there was something going on with our brakes. So that tacked on another 160ish. So goes my luck....

Jason was able to get a hold of JAG, and they were able to help him work up a waiver to send to USAREC HQ. So hopefully we will be free and clear in 3-4 weeks. Did you hear my huge sigh of relief?? Please continue to pray for us and the whole deal, as we know the Army can always change their mind in the last second. I cannot wait until they no longer have any control over our lives.

My kiddos leave in 2 days:( I'm so not ready.....

The more things change, the more they stay the same....

Of course after Jason accepts a job, the Army decides they might want to keep him in. Or at least make us wait 4-5 months to get out. What happened to wanting to get rid of him ASAP? Grrrr, that's why I hate the Army. We are ready to move on, we don't want to be in the Army, we have a better life waiting for us.

Lots to talk about......

It's official, Jason has a job after the Army. He will be an Executive Recruiter with G.R. Morris and Associates. It's the company that up'd his salary over the phone w/o an interview. When he went in for the interviews, they offered their normal base( which was to low for us). I told Jason he should ask about the offer she made over the phone. Well, he called them today to turn down the job. They asked why and he said the base was to low. So they asked him, "What would it take for you to come work for us?" Jason told them, they said yes, and it's a done deal! Now the Army needs to hurry up. I'm so ready to be out of the Army. It truly is not the institution that I used to love.

I signed up to help with The Woman's' Ministry at Church. We signed up for prayer partners. I didn't get to meet mine last night, she wasn't there:( I did meet a fabulous lady who is a scrapbooker!!! Woo-Hoo! I wish that my calling was children's ministries, I have so much respect for the people who work with our youth. I just do not have the patience. So I volunteered to help with WM, I think I will like it. I need that closeness with other ladies for my walk to stay on the right path.

Oh, on a super cool note. My Area Manager came into the store, and said everything looked great. She was super impressed with our store numbers from last month. We had over 100 more transactions then the previous month, our average loan size was mediocre in my opinion but she was happy about. Even cooler was our referral's. They really push those b/c that is where a lot of our new business comes from. Anyway, our referral's were the 2nd highest in the region!! Only 2 below Grand Prairie which is almost twice as busy as our store.

My kiddos are leaving this weekend:( I'm so sad. I'm not 100% sure I'm ready for that. They are going to be for 2 weeks. I think that I'm going to be a basketcase. I freak out when I think about the thought of them being halfway across the country. Thank God they are not leaving for college anytime soon.

P.S. My sister in the bomb, she got my ipod working!!!

HELLS YA!!!

The Mavs are going to the finals! I was scared in the 3rd quarter when they were down, but I knew better than to count them out. The first 2 games are in Dallas next week against the Heat.

I totally feel this way.....

Rowdy, Loud, and Proud!

I have lived in Texas almost 5 years, I have been a Mavs fan pretty much since that first season we were here, and it in NO way prepared me for that game! I had so much fun. I don't know if it was b/c it was a playoff game, or b/c everyone was antsy from the huge loss on Tuesday, or Mavs fans are just wild, but it was GREAT! I had so much more fun then whwn I went to the Bills game(sorry honey). It was so fast paced, the ball going back and forth, seeing them actully steal the ball. I don't really enjoy watching b-ball on TV but in real life it was so much better. Those 48 minutes went by so fast. Here are some pics:

Me with my new DIRK shirt! I LOVE IT!

It's so cool to me that I've been to his hometown in Germany!

WHO'S THE MAN????? OH YEA!
