Well I finally got my masters =) The trip was too long but was all worth it. I will have more on the trip later. I know that the video is fuzzy at first, but Jason used his cell phone to make this video. There were two parts to graduation. The first one was with Chuck Norris speaking and this is the 2nd part. We ordered a video but the 2nd part of graduation is not on in so this will do.

Well as of May 10th 2008, I will be officially  proclaimed as:

TREEVA NICOLE BURRIS MA, HS/MFT

For those who don’t know what all the letter mean, here it is in long format

TREEVA NICOLE BURRIS MASTERS OF ART HUMAN SERVICES / MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPY

Jason and I are leaving from Liberty (which is in VA and yes this is the Jerry Falwell school) today and will be back Sunday, rest and then leave for Atlanta on May 17th.

Well got to go. Until Next time

Yes my friends May is here and I am sooooooo happy. May 10 is graduation and I am walking, although I finished my Masters last August I am making it “official’” by walking. The cap and gown rocks and I love my hood ( that is what you get when you get a higher degree. And yes Chuck Norris will be there.

May is very busy month (so was April) for Jason and I.This weekend I have a horse show (hopefully we will have great weather). Next weekend is graduation, then the weekend after that we will be Atlanta for another pirate wedding for some friends who are directors of some sort for Dragon*Con. Then the weekend after that is a break and then the last weekend of the month is a beer festival in B’ham Al and then on June 3rd is 8 year wedding anniversary.

Well that is life for me right now. Until next time

As all of you know, I work with children with Autism and it is the best job in the world. I also have two cousins who have Autism. On April 2nd is World Autism Awareness Day and to learn more about what the world is doing to help raise awareness go to www.worldautismawarenessday.org

Also for all you who live in Alabama, Governor Riley has declared April 3rd as “Autism Awareness Day” in Alabama.

Autism is a complex brain disorder that inhibits a person’s ability to communicate and develop social relationships, and is often accompanied by extreme behavioral challenges. Autism spectrum disorders are diagnosed in one in 150 children in the United States, affecting four times as many boys as girls. The diagnosis of autism has increased tenfold in the last decade. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have called autism a national public health crisis whose cause and cure remain unknown. To learn more about Autism, go to www.autismspeaks.org

As all of you guys know I got my masters last August from Liberty University and that I am going to participating in their Commencement ceremony. While I was surfing the LU website I found this:

Chuck Norris to give graduation address

Liberty University Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr. announced Wednesday that actor Chuck Norris will be Liberty University’s graduation speaker on May 10.

Thats right boys and girls Walker Texas Ranger is going be speaking at my graduation. That is all I can write right now.

Until next time

Well March is here and I am happy. Last month was not a good month for me. I am on medication for some hormone problems, both Jason and I got that nasty flu that is going around, and due to reason that I can not share, I lost my job.

So why am I happy about March. Well I may have a job very soon which is nice. I met a sweet family thats wants me to baby-sit for them (they have a child that has autism) on Friday nights. Plus in about 2 months I will going to Liberty U to walk at graduation.

Well i’m off. I will write more later =)

Until next time

Wow I have not post in a long time. Lots of reason too. Just wanted to up in.

untill next time

Well last year was frackin crazy. Lots of highs and lots of lows but Jason and I made it together. Here is a short run down of last year

January ~ Found out that I was going to be a mommy and then a week later I found out that I had a Eptopic  Pregnancy and lost the baby. Also the autism center that I was working at closed.

February and March ~ More health drama and some personal drama.

April ~ Things started to get better. School was getting better. Still some health problems. Also getting ready to move from Atlanta to Huntsville, AL

May  ~ I had surgery and our moved got delayed.

June ~Found out that everything was good and that I should have no problem having a family. We also moved to Huntsville, Al. I also celebrated my 10 year high school reunion and celebrated my 7 year wedding anniversary.

July ~ About a week after we moved I got a job working at an autism center in town.  We finially got everything unpack and looking like a home.

August  ~ After 2 and 1/2 years I finally graduated from Liberty University with my Master in Arts degree in Human Services  with a Specialty in Marriage and Family Therapy.

September  ~ Jason got a job at Verizon wireless. My sister had her 3rd child. This month was very sad due to the fact that we would of had our baby the first weekend in September. It was also the 6 year anniversary of the van accident I was in on Sept. 24, 2001.  Also due to jobs, health, and moving I was unable to be on tech staff for Dragon*Con this year.

October  ~ I turned 29 and Jason 30. We also went to Disney World for a week with my old roommate from Judson and Jason’s friend (who married my roommate ) from college.

November  ~Lost a very dear friend named Phil. He was very sick and died a few days before thanksgiving. He was the coolest guy I know. Although he had a different lifestyle he helped me be more open and a better person.  Also our purple Neon died the day before thanksgiving and was down to one car. We had that car for 7 years.

December  ~ Everything still going strong. Had to get a new car, got some cool toys, and had some fun times. Christmas was better this year. Some of you may remember that Jason lost his grandmother on Christmas in 06. We also got to see some friends in Atlanta before the new year.

So that was last year.

This year is already full with new adventure.  I will be going to Liberty for graduation in May, I turn 30 in October,  8 years of marriage in June, going on a cruise in October, and there is a possibility that I will be at Dragon*con this year on tech staff, this time with Jason ( this is still in the air right now, it is only a possibility). We also are praying that this years bring us a new family member but only time and God knows when this is coming and when it does, you will hear about it.

well here is to a new year =)

I do want to tell all of you who have been supportive to me during this last year, thank you. To all of you that I may have hurt or made you mad at me due to some personal things that when down, I am very sorry and hope that one day you will forgive me.  Last year I learned some powerful life lessons and although I had jumped off the planet for a while, I have learned that there are still some people out there that care for you and will support you whatever you do. Thanks

Until next time

Well tomorrow is 2008 and i am ready.

This past weekend I went over to Atlanta to see friends and to just get away from Huntsville for a few days. This visit was so much slower then other trips. To anyone we missed, don’t worry, we will be back sometime.

While got to go but will write more =) Happy New Year Everyone

Until next time

So it is almost 2008. December has  a been a crazy month. We had to buy a new car (yes the purple neon is dead) and work for the both of us was nuts. However we made it.  2007 was a year that went up and down and down and up. More of that later =)

To everyone who reads this blog, Jason and I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Super New Year.

Until next year

So December is here. I am not for this month. Too much is going on in my life still. Still looking for a church, now having to buy a car (long story), and so on. One thing that has been cool is that I found out that one of my dear friends my BCF years lives in Huntsville now. I think that is cool because I have not really seen anyone of the old undergrad days until this pass week.

Another thing that has been cool is that I went to my first contra dance ( look it up). Jeff, one of my d*con friends does sound for a contra dance gathering ( i guess you can call it that) invited Jason and I to try it and of course I loved it since i am a dancer and all. Jason liked it and had fun too. I had not seen Jeff since last January when we came over to Huntsville for a party and then founding out that I had lost the baby due to a eptopic pregnancy. It was great to see him and he is really good contra dancer.

Well it is getting late and I am sleepy. I will have more later.

Until next time

Well yep it is November.

Well last month was fun. I turned 29, the hubby turned 30, had our very first party at our apartment since we moved to Huntsville, and got back last Friday (Nov.2) from our Disney trip with my old roommate from Judson (yes the ALL girls college in Alabama) and her husband who is a college friend of my hubby. So yeah me.

Last week I got to help with a fundraiser with Free the Hops( http://www.freethehops.org )and had a blast. I got to do the raffle tickets and had fun. FTH is a group of beer loving people who live in Alabama who are trying to change the beer laws in the state. I don’t drink it but the hubby is liking it. Anyways, there are a lot of really good beers out there that we can get in ALABAMA because of the high alcohol content in the beer. So yeah if you like beer and you live in Alabama, check these guys out.

Speaking of fund raisers , my work is doing a fund raiser right now. It is called The SEC Kickoff For Autism. We have collected footballs signed by the head coach from each SEC team. We are asking “Who are the Most Generous Fans in the SEC?” Whichever fan raises the most money for our center in the name of their team will receive the football signed by their head coach. We were able to get all but two SEC teams (Florida and South Carolina) to help us out with this and the balls look great. Please check out the web site below. And for all of you UF and South Carolina fans, if you want to donate to your team anyways, you can do that too. We tried to get them to help us, but things happen. So go to this site and help out. Here is a group shout of the balls

Well so there is it is. More to write later =)

Until next time

Happy birthday to me, Happy birthday to me, Happy birthday dear mmmmme, Happy birthday to me !

Yes people I’m 29 today and now I have to get ready for work. Thanks to all my friends who have already sent me b-day fuzzes. Feel free to call or text or email today. It will make my work day better =)

Until next time

This past weekend, my hubby and I went to a LAN party here in Huntsville that was hosted by a group of gamers call The Hushed Casket. The Hushed Casket (THX) celebrated its fifth year with a monster Halo 3 LAN. People and equipment filtered in throughout the 14-hour event, but at peak 38 gamers were LANing Halo 3 on 26 Xbox 360s via 3 separate system link games. Out of 38 gamers, there were about 5 girls (me include) playing too. I had to stop playing for a while due to getting a slight headache. We had a great time and got to meet a lot of new people.

One of the guys who is a the “main” guy made a video and put it up on youtube. So here it is. Jason played in one of the bedrooms but he is easy to spot. He is the guy as soon as the camera goes into the bedrooms in the middle and he is the guy laughing. I am not in this one but hey I am already on youtube because of the Blue’s Clues parody that Dragon*con TV did called Cthulu’s Clues last year (06).

THX 5th Birthday LAN Party

bye bye for now

Since I am done with school I hardly check my Liberty email but maybe ones a week. Well today I got the best email from them since the “you are done” email. I got a email stating that as of October 5th my diploma was sent out. At first I was like “yeah right” because they told me that I would get it the first week of December. So I email the registrar and asked if this was true and I got a email make stating that it took the graduate diploma fast to print than it has before. So It should be here this week or next. The coolest thing is that Oct. 18th is my 29th birthday. What a present =)

Speaking of birthdays, feel free to call me or email on mine =)

Until next time

Well tomorrow is the 6 year anniversary of a day I will never forget. The following blur is a local newspaper:
**************

Three members of a college ministry are dead and another is in serious condition after a traffic accident on Interstate 10 in Jackson County Monday night.Jeromy Leary, 20, of Ocala; David Hoffman, 18, of Cross City; and Joseph Hall, 17, of Dothan, Ala., died after being ejected when the van they were riding in spun out of control and rolled several times. Amanda Leary, Jeromy’s wife, was critically injured in the accident and is in serious condition following emergency surgery.The driver and the other passengers were treated for minor injuries and released. Eleven students from the Baptist College of Florida “JAM (Jesus And Me) Team” were returning to campus in Graceville from a youth retreat in Bristol. The accident occurred when the tread separated from the right rear tire on their van at about 9 p.m., said Corp. Rick Warden, with the Florida Highway Patrol.

***************

I wrote about the this last year but because this accident happen 6 years ago on September 24, 2001, I wanted to write more about it. As many of yall know, I was apart this team for many years. The team that went out that night was not my team and that i was asked to be there. I still can remember that day. I was not feeling that well and it was raining. I even remember what I was wearing. At this time Jason was working in Dothan, Alabama and that morning was the last time I told him “I love you” and I would not see him until later that night when I got home.

The event that night was awesome. Some of you might not know this but I know sign language and I do dramatic sign language to music. That night I knew what I was going to do, but then I changed the song I was going to do. After we did our thing, it was time to go home. While all the others were talking, I was studying for a Math test (I know, I hate math) then we heard a loud pop. That was the night that my life changed for ever. I remember being upside down hanging for my seat belt and having to crawl out the front window and walking on glass. I remember that I was doing a head check and remembering one of the guys taking his shirt off to help stop Jeremy’s bleeding. About 10 minutes later, Jeremy was dead. Joe was already dead due to the fact that he hit the road head first and David (we called him Davey) was hanging on. He died later that night. Amanda was hanging on. She landed in the grassy medium which saved her life. I had a few cuts and had stitches in my arm. The others had minor injuries. I remember calling the schools library to get help. I even can hear the cracking in our vice president’s voice when I told him about Jeremy and Joe being dead. I remember coming home around 2pm from the hospital all beat up and that I called my mom who live about an hour and a haft so that she would not hear about it on the local news. That whole week we had tons of press at the college. I remember my friend Sharon (who asks us to come to hear church that night), coming to my house and cried. 2 weeks after accident we were being pulled in and out of class to talk to insurance companies, Fl Highway portal officers taking our testimony’s, the schools lawyers, and even the victims parents and there lawyers. We had a lot of our professors who were very nice to us, but was mad that we were not being left alone and sometimes got made that we had to leave class. This went on for 3 months. I still could remember hearing the FHP officer telling that if I did not have my seatbelt on, I would of been dead too. I was even put on depression medication to help me focus.

6 years later, I still feel like that I should of been dead. I still ask myself, “I am still here.” About two months before the accident I had felled out of a tree trying to save my kittens. I had done a clean break to my 6th and 7th vertebra and was on bed rest for 2 weeks. Because of the back injury, we were scared that the accident had done more damage to my back, but luckily there was not more damage done.

Although this accident happen six years ago, this September is no difference. September 2001 was the month that I went to my first counseling conference and my sister had her first baby. This September would of been the month that I would of been a mom, I took some time off from going to conventions and this coming Tuesday my sister will have her 3rd child. Talk about deja vu.

As far as the JAM team, well they are no more. Because of the accident, the teams were slowing dying. Many of us were not allow to go back on the road for a while. We could not even visit the church that we went too for a long time. The teams were being over ruled by other school organization like Strike Force (the school worship team) who got the best of very everything and other groups who did ministry. For what I had heard, the school has a drama team but not like we had. The Jam team was started in 1994 and was the driving force for the school. My church even had a team come out and because of them, when I got to the school, I wanted to be on that team.

Wow, this blog is a long one but I wanted to share. This is like therapy for me. To all the ones who read this and remember what when on September 24, 2001 take some time to remember the guys were in the accident and their families. Even remember the ones who lived.

Until next time

ps. sorry for the bad grammar but this is was hard to write about but needed to write about it.

Well yesterday was a year ago that I started of blogging or as some of my “friends” call it web logging. I have to say that I am glad I stuck with it.  To everyone who reads this page (and even the ones who reads it just to make sure I am alive, which I am so call or email me sometime okay) I hope you have enjoyed the site and my bad grammar.

Well off to bed. More reflection later =)

Some of you guys may know but this past January I had may very first Ectopic pregnancy which did end up with as a miscarriage.  Well this coming weekend would of been the weekend that Jason and I would of been parents for the first time. As many of y’all know I am a very emotional person and I can’t hold things in very well. This past week  I was thinking about a song that Wes King wrote about him and his wife when they had their miscarriage. I love this song and thought I would share it.

Thought you’d be here
by Wes King

We thought you’d be here by now
Your mother and I

We’re praying through our tears that somehow
We might hear your sweet cry

Have we waited too long
It’s getting harder to be strong
Is there something we’ve done wrong

But if you like dancing
I’ll make it rain rhythm and rhyme and melodies, child
And if you like dreaming
Your mother will make your imagination run wild
Somehow, we thought you’d be here by now

We have a room just for you upstairs
It’s right down the hall
So we’ll be close should you ever get scared
We’ll come when you call

It’s a room full of stories
Waiting to be told
Longing to behold

And if you like laughing
I’ll plaint you a circus of smiles and ferris wheels, dear
And if you like living
Your mother will fly you to worlds both far and near
Somehow . . .

I never knew the silence could make me so deaf
I never knew I could miss someone I’ve never met
Miss someone I haven’t met yet

We’ll be waiting

Sorry if that made you cry in any way, but this is how I have been feeling lately. Also I have been feeling emotional  about past experiences. I miss all my friends in Atlanta and right now some of them is having a blast. Alothough it has any been about 2 months since we moved the friends I do have here still have mix emtions and maybe some unresolved issues with me, but I know that I have to give that time. If any of you guys read this, I am sorry and want to make a new.

For the last few weeks I have had another song in my head. The first time I heard this song I was blown away. The song is about cutting, but I think that it also speaks about emotional cuts that we put on our soul and every time we think about about past experiences and mistakes, a new cut forms and does not go away. There is not the official video for this song but I love this one and if you watch you will see why.

Plumb- Cut

I passed all my classes. YEAH ME =)

that is all

until next time

I hate waiting. What am I waiting for you ask ? I am now waiting for my grades. Now I know that my teachers have lives, but come on. They make turn in the freaking paper in the middle of the week and it takes like forever to get it back to you. I know that I have to sit and wait but it is driving me up the wall.

Well anyways I am done with school. I get the diploma in January(through the mail) and then We are going to VA (that is where Liberty is) and walk with my class. You just don’t know how many out there wants me to work.

Well will write more once the grades come in. Now it is time for bed.

Until next time =)

Well this is my last week of my grad school life. Yes I will finally be done. More to come. I have paper to finish =)

Well I have been in Huntsville for about 3 weeks now and I have a job. As of right now I am in the training process and hoping to get hire, but I know I have it. I am working / training at an Autism center in Huntsville and will be doing ABA therapy. When everything is in place there is a good chance that I will also be a family therapist / social worker. I can’t wait to start work again.

Well I have about 4 and 1/2 weeks left of grad school and I am sooooo happy.

Until next time

Hello to all my friends and people who know me,

As of last night, we are no longer living in the Atl. We have moved from the big city to Huntsville, Alabama. Yes I said Alabama. We do have a new address and will be emailing that out within a few days. The phone number is the same =) for right now.

Well I have a lot to do right now, so I will write more later. I have a job interview tomorrow (2nd one) and hopefully will be working soon =)

Until next time

Hello all,

Well in the Burris house are slowly coming along. Last month with crazy with everything thing that was going on. The main drama was my surgery and boy was that drama. We had to be at the hospital at 5:15 am and the surgery was to start at 7:15am. So we get there and the nit was time to get ready. The worse part of the whole thing was getting my IV ready. Well after 5 nurses and a total of 13 tries, they got it in and I went to sleepy. The surgery last about 2 hours (which the doc blocked a hour and 1/2) and there was good reason. When I woke up I remembered asking the nurse how many cuts I came out with. I have 2 cut ( 1 on each side) and of course the one in my belly button. However I had to stay at the hospital that night because I started to run a fever and I was getting sick from the happy gas. Although I got some good rest, Jason had to watch the season ending of LOST on a small tv and not our nice high def tv. Well thing are doing great. I still have a little belly pain, but all 3 cuts are looking better. The great news was that all the tissue samples and stuff they found came up negative and everything is need working order. Now I am on some therapy for 3 months and once that is over, we can start trying again.

Well next week will be our last full week in Atlanta. Yes my friend, we are finally moving. Due to the surgery last month we had pushed the move a little. Thanks to my d*con friends Misty and her hubby Stephen who also lived in Huntsville, we were able to find an apartment and we start moving in on the 25th. And if any of you Huntsville people who read this , we would need some help if you can. Let me know if you.

The job hunt is going very well too. I had two interview in the last two weeks and I may have a job in July. The first place I interview at (by phone) turned me down. The interview that I had this past Wednesday went very well and will find out something very soon. Jason is still working on what he wants to do.

As my last post on here mentioned I celebrated my 10 year high school reunion and I had a blast. I saw a lot of my friends and the best time. I will have the pictures up soon. I even got my red back in my head.

Speaking of yesteryear, does anyone remember The Letter People, I do. That is how I learned my letters in Kindergarten. For the ones who doesn’t know about the Letter People here is some history. In 1974, the Letter People came to life as puppets in 60 15 minute episodes on PBS. One of my favorite episodes as “Mr. M” and was one of my favorite letter people. The Letter People are still around but there were some changes made from the original produce do to being sell to another company and the program is still being used in schools. Here is a clip I found. For more info go to you can go to wikipedia.

The Letter People- Meet Mr. M

Wow this got long. Oh by the way, I have a least 2 more months of school left.

Until next time

Hope this month treats me right.

Off to Florida for my 10 year. I am getting old

Until next time

Well I went to the doctors and everything looks good.  Still doesn’t know why I am having the pains that I have been having or even what cause the Ectopic pregnancy.  I  am still recovering  from the surgery and should be pain free soon.

This past week we went to Huntsville and we now have a place to move in. Thanks to my home girl Misty, we have found an apartment and we love it =). I also have 2 job interview line up too, so the move is going to happen sometime next month.

This weekend is my 10 year high school reunion in FL. I have not seen a lot of my friends since high school and thanks to myspace, I have reconnected with a few. See I was not very liked in high school and was a known as a “non-cool geek.” See we had 2 levels of geekness, popular geek and non-cool geek.  My senior year of high school I was in the middle of the 2 levels because i was on the color guard and was apart of the school AV/ morning show/WCHS team. I loved my press pass.

So in honor of my geekness here is a song from Enigma.  I love this song when it came out in the US in 1994 and I have even used this song (and others) in dance recitals and competitions.

Return to Innocence  (1994)

Next month is June

BTW June 3rd is my anniversary. Yep 7 years. I love you Jason.

Hey all,

Well I made. I can not longer say that I have never had surgery. I am doing better than last night. I had to stay at the hospital overnight due to a little fever and feeling sick every time I got up.

So I am going back to my bed. Feel free to call or text or something like that =)

Until next time

Well tomorrow is the day that I go under for the first time. I am still freaking about about it but not to bad.

My friend Asai came over and watched Heroes with Jason and I (I love that show) last night and while I cleaned, Asai was playing Guitar Hero (yes, I have Guitar Hero and I love our new x box 360 elite).

Jason has been a big help this month and today was a fun day. I got a body pillow that is as taller then me (yes i know, everything is taller then me), clean my house (yep still moving), and I got my toes done (yes although I am NOT a girly girl, i still get my toes done). Plus I got the coolest pirates shirt which is green camo with pirates on it. This shirt would even match my pink camo hat with pirates on it.

So yes tomorrow is the day. Please send all your happy thoughts to me k and not be afraid to check on me if you want.

Next week I will be going home for my 10 year high school reunion and i heard this on the radio =0) i know it is the 80’s but hey I lived in the 80’s

enjoy

So I had my pre-op and it took too long. The doctor’s appointment long ( it was at 10am, did not see him until 10:40am). After meeting with him, I had to go to the hospital and do blood work. Thank God for post casting =) because we waited for a hour and 1/2 for them to call me back to a room to take my blood and do an EKG. So while we were waiting, we listen to Buzz Out Loud (Cnet) and the Official ABC Lost cast. I am still very scared about this and it is draining all around. My school work is still going good and I am taking 1 class right now.

So week one of 3 is over. Next week (wed, the 23) is the surgery and then my post up on the 30th.

So yeah. I am still in school too and although I don’t agree with some of things Dr. Jerry Falwell has done and said, I am sad that I won’t get to meet him next year at graduation. For some of you that may not know, I am student at Liberty U as a Distance Learning student. Liberty has been very good to me this year and I am glad to be finishing in August.

Until next time

Well this month has been kinda hell so far. This past week my friends Stephen and Misty had their 2 second child (congrats you two, and Eil too). Two weeks ago I found out that my sister back in Florida is having her 3rd child and so is my cousin. Then last weekend when I was in Huntsville, I found out that Jason has two cousin who are having kids. Then there is me, nothing but having surgery to make sure I can have kids.

To some of you, it sounds like I am being bitchy about this, but I am not. I really never had a problem with mothers day because I have a mom who loves me a lot, but now I don’t know how to feel. I was almost a mom and now knowing that my sister (who is not married and is not living a good life) is having a baby in the same month that I would had mind, it hurts 10x worse.

Well Wednesday is my pre-op appointment and then the surgery on the 23rd. Please feel free to leave comments and good thoughts on here. If you want to use any other sources of communication thats find too.

Oh to all my friends who are mom’s, I still love you and happy mothers day.

Until next time

Well it is May and so much is going on. We are still planning to move this month and hopefully will be making so progress. This weekend we are going to Huntsville and can’t wait. I need to get out of Atlanta and just relax. I am very happy about the move, but I don’t wait to say goodbye to the people who really care for me here in Atlanta. Yes we are moving to a town where people, but because of recent events, I  feel lonely and judged sometimes. I wish I could have a redo, but I know that I need to work on my present.

Along with the moving, i am having surgery. I would be lieing if I told you that I was not scared, but I am. I am terrified.  I am scared about not waking up. I am scared that my hearth will go nuts. I am scared that even if the surgery fixes everything, I still would have problems becoming a mom. I am just so scared. I have been having nightmares of being tortured and I just want to rest. I just want to be the “Treeva” that everyone loves and be me.  I just want to be able to go some where, where I don’t get depressed about losing my child and be jealous  of my friends who are pregnant or who just had one. I just want to be me again.

Well, I am tried and need to rest. Thanks for letting me slip this out.

Until next time

Yes, I am still moving to Huntsville next month. For some of you who do not know, I am having surgery on the 23rd of May. I have been having some really bad pains and The OB wants to make sure it is not Endometriosis. BTW I just read that about 50% of women who had an Ectopic pregnancy has Endometriosis (which I have had an Ectopic pregnancy back at the beginning of the year).

So yes we are still moving in May but slowly.

I just started my last semester (today) of my professional life as a student. AUG 13 2007= PARTY TIME

Will be in Huntsville this weekend =)

Until next time

I was doing some looking around Wikipedia and found out that there is an another Doctor Who spin of which  is for the kiddie. It is called The Sarah-Jane Adventures. Now I know I maybe a little late knowing this, but I think this is cool. Anywhere I found this on youtube and i liked

Sarah Jane remembers the doctor

Well I found out last Friday that  I am having surgery .  Some of yall knew that back in January I had lost what would of been our first child. Well since then I have been having a lot of pain. Well there is some activity going on and the doctor wants to check it out. Jason and I  had to chose whether 1. I go back on the pill and put my body through hell again or 2. do surgery. We are doing the surgery and yes we are still moving to Huntsville next month. The surgery is on May 23.

Well that is all for right now. I know that some of my readers are guys so girls you may of picked up on what type of surgery I am having and where.

Until next time

Well we are getting a head start on packing. The last time we moved, we moved across the street and we still had a lot of our stuff in boxes from last time. So today we started to go through the boxes and guess what, we have a lot of books ,well Jason does.

Jason is the book geek in our house. Yes I have books too but they are ether my psychology books or counseling books from school. Oh I do have a big collection of The Baby-Sitters Club which are all original covers ( I will explain that later when I feel like it). Well anyways, Jason has lots of Star Trek books and other books that deals with anything and everything. He even has the Star Trek Technical Manual and other cool stuff. He also has a good collection of Calvin and Hobbes. Jason did get rid of a lot of books that he felt that he did not need anymore and that took a lot of guts.

So yes we have a lot of books and hopefully this time we will have a library to show off all our books. Does anyone know of a good filing system =) ?

While it is bed time. We are still moving to Huntsville and still need jobs and grown up stuff like that.

Until next time

 Well I have 127 days until I finally graduate from Grad school. I am so frackin happy.

The official day Aug. 13, 2007

Until next time

hey all,

Well it is April =) and next month I will be moving. More on this topic to come

If you are someone i know and you live in Huntsville, Al, Jason (my hubby) and I looking for jobs there. If you don’t live in Huntsville and you know me and you know someone who does, tell me =)

I am looking for anything that has to with children, counseling, human services, social work, and working with children who have autism and any other mental health problems.
Jason is looking for anything that can be indoors and not pest control. He is really good with computers, technology, pretty much anything.

Well like I said, more to come
treeva

Well it is Monday. Time for DOCTOR WHO THEATER

This week I found two clips that will make you go “why?”  The first clips is to the song “Galileo” by Amy Grant. Yes, she started out in Christian music and then went to mainstream and then got remarried to Vince Gill, but I still like her earlier stuff.

“Galileo” Dr. Who Video

The second video is set to the song “I will Remember You” also by Amy Grant. I love this song. When I hear this song, I think of all my past and present relationships with people and how I wish I can just call and say “hi”, but that will come in due time.  I also like how this video is put together and events that we see the relationship of the Doctor and Rose.

I Will Remember You

will until nexts time

Okay so I am still having doctor who withdraw. My girl Asai showed me this and I had to put this one on here.  Here is a french dalek and the doctor.

Doctor Who and the French Dalek

that is all

Oh my frackin *beep* 300 was awesome.  Everything about it was awesome.  I would see it again if I was asked too.

I am so not a girl sometime. Yes I am a chick and I do like chick flicks but this movie rock my planet. I think I like guy movies better then girl movie. I like the girl movies of the 80’s  like Beaches and all the John Hughes movies like The Breakfast Club, 16 Candles, and of course Pretty in Pink(which I am so happy we have tivo because the movie will be on this week). There are many other chick flicks too but I am the type that likes those kissy kissy girl movies. Yuck

Well anyways. 300 was awesome. You all need to go see it and that is all I am going to say.

Until later

happy st patrick’s day everyone.
may everyday bring you blessing from above   

So it is the weekend and I am in Huntsville, Al.

Many of yall know that Jason is from here and we are planning to move back to huntsvegas at some point. I like Huntsville and it is nice and all but I am trying to see this possible move to be a good thing. Although we have friends in Atlanta, we have a few in Huntsville too and also all of Jason’s family still lives in Huntsville and his parents are moving back.

So why are we here in Huntsville this weekend. YARD SALE. Yes I said Yard sale. Jason’s mom and sibling are selling the rest of his grandmothers stuff.

Well I am going to go. To all the Huntsvegas people out there, maybe nexts time we are in town we can meet.

Laters

This is for all my friends who are having Doctor Who withdraw. May this bring you joy and happiness and lets hope and pray really hard that the Sci-Fi channel will pick up Doctor season 3 and Torchwood.

hello all,

Well I still slowly coming back to the land of the living. I have been though some hard times these past few months. As many of y’all know Jason (my hubby) lost his grandmother on Christmas Day. About a week after that we found out we were going to have a baby. We could not wait to tell everyone and it was a shock to others because some of them didn’t know we were trying. Well that joy and excitement turned into sadness and heart ache. On MLKJ day, we were coming home from Huntsville (after seeing some of the dcon friends I had made) we found out that I had lost the baby and then found out I had an ectopic pregnancy. I had to take a shot that would help finish the miscarriage and now I have to wait to 3 months to try again.

This month is no different. I have made some other mistakes and now I am now having to face it head on. I am not happy with the mistakes I made, but I need to face the facts that comes with this. Many of these changes may not make sense to some, but they must be done. I have felt so cut inside and I need to heal myself. Some of these changes have all ready been in place and some of them may hurt others, but 1. I am being honest  and 2. I don’t want to be a jerk. There are many changes on this site and on my other pages that maybe cause questions, but please understand it must be done.

In closing, I want to thank everyone who has helped me these past few months and that I will always remember your kindness. You guys have been very supportive to me. I hope that some of you will be supportive of me and the changes I am making in my life.

until next time

In honor of the Bears going to the big dance on Sunday, I thought I would pay honor to them. GO BEARS

sorry i have not updated this log in a while.  so much as gone on since my last post. will post more once i can write without getting emotional.

for the ones that know what is going on in my life, i am truly grateful for you love and friendship.  you guys rock my world.

more to come, now i need to rest.

Well the new year is finally here. Here is a little recap.

 January was a good month.  I finally got off the depression medication after  5 years of being on it.

February we found a new church to go to and had some really nice friends who got Jason and I to like GA Tech ( I am still a FSU girl).

March brought me my dream job, working with children who have Autism. I also gained a group of friends who are more like family.

June was the 6 year mark of my marriage to Jason.  I got of the heart medication.

July I was back in school and that was a fight to stay in. You don’t mess with the hubby.

August I finally got to leave to The School Box again.  My niece was born. I am medication free =)

September was a month to remember. I got to work at my first ever Dragon*con and had a blast. My nephew Jayden turn 5 and it was also the 5 year mark of my van accident. It was also the 10 year mark out of high school for Jason.

October we turned 28 and 29, went to a pirate wedding, and then it was back to Mexico and Grand Cayman via our 2nd cruise.

November was Thanksgiving in Florida.

December was our trip to Huntsville and the passing of Jason’s grandmother.

  So as you can it was a year. This coming year will be good to already. I’ll finish Grad school in August. Dragon*con in September.  I will be 29 and Jason will be 30 in October. I will have my 10 year high school reunion this year and hoping to be a mommy this year.

Well with all of that said. Happy New Year

Well this past weekend has been very hard on Jason’s side of the family.  This Christmas we were supposed to be in Florida with my family but since we had so much fun with his family last year, we was at my mom’s on turkey day and came up to Huntsville for Christmas.

On Saturday after Jason got a call from his mom that his grandmother (his mom’s mom) had fell down and broke her hip ( we had just gotten to h’ville like 3 hour or so that morning). Well she was put in the hospital on Saturday, had major hip surgery Sunday morning and said good-bye to this earth on Christmas morning. She was 88 years old. We got to go home last night,  got a good rest and watched robot chicken (he got me the DVD for Christmas).

 So we are now back in Huntsville for the viewing and all and hoping to have a good weekend. Then we will be back in Huntsville for PHE.

Well I need to go for now. Next month will be fun for me as I starting finishing my Masters and new changes at work. Thanks to all you who knew about that and who have been very nice to Jason (and you know who you are =) )

See you next year

Well since I was to lazy to do a card, I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happiest New Year.

With Love

Treeva and Jason Burris

So I got a new toy today. This morning my hubby and I got up at 5am (est) and around 9am we left Game Stop with a Nintendo Wii. The Game Stop we were at only had 3 Wii’s and we got one of them. Merry Christmas to us =) So we have been having so fun together play with our  new Nintendo.  I will have pics later.

Well it is off to Huntsville, Al this weekend to spend time with Jason’s family.

So in closing Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas from Jason, Treeva, and Wheeler (the cat) Burris

So it is now December and have already made one trip to Huntsville before we have to be there for Christmas. I love Huntsville but this weekend was crazy. We mainly went over the help Jason’s sister with her new house that she is building. At first I was not going to go but I knew that Jason whould want me with him. Well I went and had a good time but I was sick too. So we are now back home and will be back in Huntsville for Christmas.

Huntsville is where Jason grew up and was my home for 6 months. He has a bigger family and we always have fun. All of his family still lives in Huntsville and we hope to move back sometime in the near future. Huntsville is also home to some of my new friends from Dragon*Con and will be going back in January for a big party.

Well more to come

Untill nexts time

Well everyone, it is that time of year. I will be traveling to the Florida panhandle tomorrow to see my family. This should be fun, if you know what I mean.

Well I am very thankful for everything this year. Here is my list in a nutshell;

I am thankful for my hubby Jason, my family, old friends ( you know who you are), my new family (techops), my new friends (Duckie, Jake, Jeff and Amy, Brian and Suzan, Asai, Barrie and Thomas, Misty and Stephen, Patrick,  just to name a few),  my health and well you get the picture.

So in closing, Happy Thanksgiving from the Treemonkey and her Doughboy.

Well I am back from my trip as you can see and I am late writing about it. We had the best time and much needed break from life, the universe, everything. the adventure started when we hopped on a plane and headed to Tampa to where we were going to sail out of from.  So here is some of the highlights of my trip:

Monday

    We boarded the ship and had some drinks. Then we hang out on the ship and had fun.

Tuesday

   Tuesday we were on the ship on our way to Grand Cayman. A lot of relaxing and hang out together on the ship. That night was formal night and Capt’s party.

Wednsday

      Grand Cayman was great. Got to swim with stingrays and enjoyed the sunshine. We did a little shopping and took more pictures.

Thursday

   Cozumel was great. I lay in the ocean and had nachos on the beach. Then we did more shopping and took more pictures.

Friday

    The last sea day and coming home to the states. We had a great time.  We did a lot of trivia contest and relaxing. It was also Halloween on the ship and I dresses up too. The best part was Jason (my hubby) was in the costume contest and dressed up as a “ceiling fan”.  I was also it the guest talent show.

Saturday

  Time to go back to life, the universe, everything. We had a blast but now we are back to the same old drama called life. Feel free to check out more pictures my going to my picture page. The link is on the right.

ps - you can see a few of my pictures on my side bar and click to see the rest. it is a work in progress 

until nexts time

okay, we have pictures up from our trip.

happy looking

Well we are back from our cruise and had the best time.  I had a few drinks and just relaxed. Well since we just got back, I am going to relax and then I will tell all (well not ALL) but will write about my trip =)

Until then

Well it is Monday and I am sitting in my hotel room with my laptop killing time. Yesterday was fun. My hubby and I hop on a plane to get to Tampa.  Now all we have to do is board the ship. The clouds are so beautiful when you are on top of them, but they can be deceiving. Why deceiving you ask. Well I love the Care Bears and when I was a little girl playing and watching the Care Bears, they pictured them living in the clouds in a place call Care-a-Lot. Well since I was little, I’d belived in that truth. Well now that I am 28 years old and still plays with Care Bears, I know now that they don’t live in the clouds. Clouds are magicaly in so many way. The color, the shapes, the size, and the way they sit on top of the planet. They blue sky makes them extra special. Well I was on the plane, I was thinking about a lot of things like  life, the universe, everything.  When looking into the sky, i felt something that was like a peace that I’d felt before, but this peace was much different. I have been dealing with something that I know I need to get resolved, but not knowing how to do it has been hardening my heart. Feeling of bitterness and hate, loneliness and abandonment, have been running thought my veins and for those who know me would not even think that it is possible for me to feel that way because I am always happy, ect. Well when I looking in the clouds, the answers I was looking found me and all I have to do is act on it. By saying this, I am sorry for being an a selfish brat and want to make things right.

 Looking into the clouds in mid air make you think and that I am so fortunate i am to be alive. I love my life now and when to improve as much as possible.

Well it is time to go to the port. Will be back in a week 

 Grand Cayman and Cozumel here I come.

Well in about 4 hours, I will be saying bye-bye to the ATL and hello to Tampa. My hubby and I will be on a much needed vacation this week. This is our 2 cruise in about a year and we leave tomorrow on the Inspiration (Carnival Cruise line) and will be stopping in Grand Cayman and Cozumel, Mexico. We had so much fun on this ship last year (we went for our bdays) that we wanted to stay on it again. Pictures and stories laters.

Well I need to finish packing. I just hope there are no SNAKES on the plane.

Until nexts time

hey yall.

today is my 28th bday =). so far it is a great day.

well i have two more days until i turn 28 years old. wow i am almost 30. that’s i scary feeling.

well anyways, i can’t wait until next week. my hubby and i are going on a cruse for our bdays. his bday is this coming thrusday and he will be 29. yep we are old.

well it is time to go and finish my stats homework. i hate stats. the reason why i hate it is because it is math.

laters

This past weekend I went to a wedding, well a “pirate wedding” on Tybee Island, Ga. The island is so beautiful and the wedding was very sweet and I am so happy for Barrie and Thomas. 

The picture above is one of my favorites. I love the ocean. I grew up on the ocean and something about the air and waves makes me feel safe and in the moment. I love to sit in the water and let the waves hit me. While I am sitting on the soft white sand, I just let myself go into the air and reflect on what I have been given.

Well utill nexts time =)

Hello yall,

I love October. Candy on Oct 31, my cruise, and my B-day (Oct 18).

Hehehe

Laters

Hey Y’all, 

Well this is been one busy month. The month of September is one month out of the whole year that I have a hard time with. Good and bad things have happen in this month we call September. Let me break it down for you.

The Good 

  The good is that I made a lot of new friends at Dragon*Con. one of my new friends is a guy they call Duckie. Duckie is a very nice guy and very cute (I can look). He is someone that I get along with and even though he live in Colorado and I won’t get to see him for a while, he is very good at emails. I also get to hang out with some of the Huntsville people from Dragon*Con. Dragon*Con was a lot of fun. The funny thing was that about around that time (labor day weekend) 5 years ago, I went to my first AACC world conference with my school.

 Another good thing was my nephew Jayden turn 5 and is getting to be a big boy. He was born on Sept. 11, 2001 and that is what I remember that day. Now this weekend I am going to my hubby’s 10 year high school reunion in Huntsville, Al. I did not go to the same school as him but it is going to be great to meet all of his friends. 

The bad 

 This month also has it bad events. Althought Sept. 11, 2001 was a very sad day, I too exeperienced death first hand. Here is what happen: This came from a press release from my college. 

A traffic accident Monday evening resulted in the death of three Baptist College of Florida students with one additional passenger sustaining injuries. The accident occurred the evening of Monday, September 24 on Interstate 10. The eleven students involved in the accident were returning to the college from Bristol, Florida where they had spent the evening ministering to area youth. They are part of the college’s Jesus And Me ministry known as the “JAM Team.”   

I came out of the accident with minor injuries. One of the police officer said that if I was not wearing me seat-bell, I would of been dead too. Sometimes I wondered why I am still here on this earth, but I knew it was not my time to go. This event still haunts me to this day. I have been getting help and within the past 5 years, this year is very hard. I have been having nightmares and flashbacks. Seeing someone die is hard to forget, but I know I can relay on God for help.   Overall, I am glad that I have friends who call and have been with me ever since. One thing I have learned is that I need to live life and cherish what I do have like my hubby, my friends and my faith in God. So basically September is a very important month will always have a special meaning in my life.  Until next time =) 

I feel that music has a powerful effect on people. About five years ago I adopted a song that would be life song. A lot of people who know me, knows that I had a hard childhood. People see me as outgoing, fun to be around, but they have no clue about with i went thought in life. This song sums up a lot of my life. The song is titled “Inside Out” by April McLean. I have preformed this song (dramatic sign language) and everytime I hear this, I cry in joy that I have a heavenly father who loves me.

“Inside Out” by Apirl McLean of the cd “The Mercy Project”

Fool that I am. Thinking no one will understand

The tears I cried. The pain I chose to hide

No one sees. Looking at me

All except for one. Tenderly looking on

With those eyes of love

It’s from the inside out. It’s from the outside in

He’s looking though my life.Looking though my sin

He who knew me from the start. Sees my heart

It’s from the inside, inside out

Hello all,

This past labor day weekend . i got to hang out with some great people who i can  call family. i see dragon* con more than a sci-fi convention with stormtroopers, red shirts, and browncoats. i see a family of fans who have a passion and even though they may be geeky, they do have lives outside of d*con.

Although i worked at con, i had a blast. sometimes i felt that i was alone and that i needed to be silly in order to make friends. some of the people in my new family i had met before and felt safe around them, while some of the people i never met were awesome. i had learned more about me and that i am blessed.

hello to everyone. i am new to this so bare with me.

oh and welcome to the tree house. there is something for everyone =)
