With the Good Comes the Bad

So, after three weeks of planning and thousands of dollars, the documentary for National Geographic did not go as planned and there will be no publicity for C.A.R.E. This is really sad. I am sorry to hear it. They were supposed to also be filming tomorrow, but that is now no longer happening. The experiments have failed on all three of the animals and the film crew could not get any footage worth saving. On a good note tho, things will finally start to slow down and I won't be working very many more 17 hour days. Yay! I miss everyone dearly back home so I finally got some pics taken today and I really hope you enjoy them. I will admit, I was a little... okay really homesick the first three days but I think now it is finally starting to go away... just a little bit. Keep sending the love via e-mail: brok_05@yahoo.com or GroffHR@devalcol.edu, by phone: 814.233.xxxx, or by mail: Holly Groff 245 County Road 3422 Bridgeport, Texas 76426. Enjoy the pics ya'll. And don't worry, I'm in good hands down here, I am meeting a lot of really nice people. I actually met a girl that is interning at a place about 15 minutes from here and she is a graduate from Uniontown High School. Small world! She knows a lot of the people that I know like the Brauns and the Bungards. Who knew? *muah*

I made it okay!

Heya all, well I made it to texas monday at around 2 in the afternoon with little trouble. I went to work right away and didn't stop until around 2 in the am. I was back up at 7:30 today to make sure the babies had their food. This is the first break I've taken and it was just to scarf down a quick bite to eat, balance my check book from the way down here, and get online quick to check my e-mail. Just wanted to let everyone know that I am okay, well, that is if you exclude a few of the gashes in my arm from the cubs. I've already fed, watered, cleaned cages, and butchered. And already I've been peed on, pooped on, vomited on, and bled on... All I have to say is that I picked the right career choice for me. I don't have any pics at this time. Ya'll will have to wait till I get a day off (8 days from now) to take some pics and actually unload my car. National Geographic is here this week and there there is a retreat this weekend. I love you all and don't forget to keep in touch!
P.s. keep the williams family in your prayers as they traveled to Cancun, Mexico today to celebrate the wedding of Curtis and Jama. I hope they enjoy their trip and have safe travels! *muah*

Saying goodbye to Mom & Dad

On Thursday Momma & Pappa Bear came by DelVal to say goodbye to Baby Bear. We went shopping for the neccessities, plenty of hugs were exchanged, and just as quickly as they came, it was time to say goodbye to Mom and Pops. I had a great two days with them. We even spent Friday night w/ the Williams family. Mom and Dad, I love you both, and I'll see you in August for that short week when we're not only expecting a baby, but your own little "baby" will be turning twenty... I guess there's no going back now. Thanx for showing me the world outside of Confluence and helping me prove to myself that I can get out of that narrow-minded box. (*wink* mom) That is all for now. I recieved a new digital camera and will start getting pictures up ASAP. I'm out and over, err... over and out. Love. *muah*
p.s. my closest friends will know that I HATE... no... LOATHE! shoe shopping. And this past winter I finally threw out the ungly green things that were held together by duct tape on my feet and mom bought me a brand new pair of shoes for Texas that are rough and tumble. I think they will be able to withstand even a tiger chewing on them. Thanx mom!

The Begining

I'm starting this blog b/c on May 13th I will begin a journey in my life like no other. After a week of stretching my brain to the limits for Finals Week at DelVal College, I will begin the long trek to Texas. This is where I will "set up camp" for the summer as I begin my first internship doing what I do best, saving the world. One animal at a time people! Even a superheroin needs rest.
This will help to keep my friends and family up to date on the happenings in my life while I'm a few thousand miles away. And to keep the posted on photos so when they see the pics, I don't get about a million phone calls from the parents saying, "You did what?!"
I love you all, and I thank God everyday for the wonderful life he has given me. As well as for all the people he has placed in it. *muah* That's a kiss for all of you.
Guess this is it for now. I will keep ya'll posted when life takes that wild turn!

*muah*
