3 Dead In Rural Wright County Car Accident MIDDLEVILLE TOWNSHIP, Minn. (WCCO) ―
Three people are dead after a car accident in Wright County on Tuesday morning. According to authorities, they received a report of a vehicle in a ditch on County Road 7 not far from County Road 35 in Middleville Township at around 11 a.m.
When deputies arrived they first located a Chevrolet Corvette in a ditch with the 22-year-old driver inside. The man, Stephen Dooher, of Waverly, Minn., was transported to Buffalo Hospital, where he is was in fair condition Wednesday morning.
While investigating the scene, deputies found two dead males and one dead female who appeared to be have been ejected from the vehicle. Police have identified the victims as Andrea Northern, 23, of South Haven; Michael Demars, 22, and Derek Kammerer, 22, both of Maple Lake.Wright County authorities believe the vehicle was driving southbound on County Road 7 before it left the road.
The accident remains under investigation by the Wright County Sheriff's Office and the Wright County Medical Examiner's Office.
I want everything to keep my best friend in their thoughts please, she lost her cousin yesterday to a car accident. In fact, please keep everyone who knew someone involved in their thoughts & prayers. Such a sick feeling runs through my body today as I think about all those who are suffering the loss of a loved one, I wish no one would ever have to feel pain like that.
As you keep Vicki, her family & the other victims families in your prayers please keep my sister, her husband Josh and his family in your thoughts as well. They have been dealt some terrible news & have very tough days before them, hopefully they stick together and support each other as a family, leaning on each other for the guidance they need to get through such a trying time.
Before the beginning of years
There came to the making of man
Time, with a gift of tears;
Grief, with a glass that ran;
Pleasure, with pain for leaven;
Summer, with flowers that fell;
Remembrance fallen from heaven,
And madness risen from hell;
Strength without hands to smite;
Love that endures for a breath:
Night the shadow of light,
And life, the shadow of death.

** good news to lighten the bad day **
My cousin Nicki & her fiance Jeff have set a date to get hitched & if all goes as planned, Jarrod & I are going to road trip out there to watch her say "I do!"

weekend update with Jamie....
Boy, I kind of suck at updating this thing, I get a post started and then never finish it! ITS HALLOWEEN WEEK! FINALLY!!!!
Lets see, things have been getting better on the homefront, but I do feel like as soon as things get to point where I am really happy, something happens that drags me down again. I know that I want to be with him, there is no doubt in my mind... I have never doubted it. I just dont know what I need to do different to make it work, to make him happy & me. I am trying though.
The Wild season has FINALLY started, we are 6-0-1 which is fantastic! Jarrod & I have gotten to one game together, I am really excited to bring my dad for his 49th Birthday on the 20th of November but SHHH dont tell him! :)
We had Katee Hall's wedding this last weekend, it was beautiful. Everything was planned so perfectly that my job as her personal attendant was easy easy! She looked amazing, as every bride should and it makes me more anxious for the day that I will be the one in the white gown!
Jarrod and I have had some fun dressing up Rokit... here he is with a sheriff hat and a little rider on his back!
We are gearing up for Halloween around our house, Jarrod is going as Lt. Dangle from Reno 911 and is going to look awesome, he is going to such lengths as to dye his hair, shave his legs and he is going to sport a fake 'stache. I am going with Vicki as a flapper from the Roaring 20's, Vicki has this great silver dress and we are going to curl her hair all up, and put a scarf in her hair. I am wearing just a plan black fringe dress but I am excited to sport a fun blonde wing for the night! These are the first "sneak peak" photos of halloween... and Vicki & Jose (aka me having fun with Jarrod's 'stache.
Vicki and I had a "Seth and Evan" day a weekend ago and got to run around doing some fun stuff. We played in the woods by my folks and then went shopping for Halloween and to the book store, where I found the book I was looking for!
This photo was taken by Vicki, she is great and I thought it was a fun one to close with.

Broken...
Man, it's been a while since my last post. I have been busy with alterations, Halloween costumes, working at the office & working at the bar.
Jarrod & I had a scare with Rokit (the Min Pin pup) last Friday. Got home late Thursday night and let the dogs outta the kennel, Ernie took off as usual and we usually just let him run around till he comes home. Well Rokit ended up getting off his leash & took off too... he is so fast that is horrible to catch him, almost impossible in fact. So tried for a lil bit to get him but he took off toward the cow pasture so we just figured he would come home in a few hours, like usual.
Well... Jay stayed up till 4:30 am and he still hadn't returned so he laid down for a few hours, I had to work so I went to bed around 2:45. well I woke up at 7:30 and Jarrod said he still wasn't home...
I called the Crossroads Animal Shelter, the Humane Society & Adopt-a-pet in Buffalo in hopes that he had been turned in during the night. Unfortunately there was no sign of him anywhere... she I gave a description & our numbers & crossed my fingers for some response.
About 30 minutes after I called, Jarrod got a call from the Crossroads Animal shelter and Rokit was there, a police officer brought him in, they said he had a few cuts and seemed very timid (which is not like Rokit at all). Once we got him from the shelter we knew right away he needed to be seen, he was not walking on his back legs. Well turns out that he has a broken L7 vertebra in his back.

So the little guy needs lots of love and attention right now, at least a month till he is able to run and more than likely he will always have slight problems when walking.
We owe great thanks to Jen & Adam for taking Ernie for the weekend, it was nice to be able to give all our attention to Rokit! And they must have really worn him out because he spent all Sunday sleeping outside, AMAZING!
What else has happened lately, I got some drunk driver arrested the other day. I was leaving work on Monday night & this blazer came flying behind me. So I slowed down to make sure I didn't get hit... well the guy fly around the side of my car and then up the back entrance hill. So I was going to follow him & call him in for reckless driving... but as I came up the back hill I couldn't see him car... until all of a sudden these lights emerged from the ditch across the road. The guy had come over the hill so fast that he must have jumped the road and hit the ditch.
He backed up and rammed forward a few times (hitting a tree in the process) and then finally flew up the ditch and back onto the road. Well I called 911 and had wright county dispatched out to find him... I continued to follow him as I was on the phone and luckily the guy got a flat tire and had to pull over... making it EASY for the cops to find him. I guess he blew a .15 almost twice the legal limit... after my history I am actually glad to see someone hopefully learn a lesson... drinking and driving just don't mix.
It sucks to be the rat & have to see someone get arrested but I always say to myself... "what if my little sister was driving on the same road as this guy" or my sister and my nephew or my mom... I wouldn't want their lives in danger so it's for the better that he is off the road.
Well back to work.. both jobs today so I am hoping for strength to get me through a long day & hoping for a good attitude to give to my customers.
Take care....

Rhino performed at BBGS this last weekend, that was alot of fun and I got some fun pics too! I always have a fun time at their shows. Kurt the lead singer got me in on my Wild tickets this year which is amazing! I cant wait for the season to freaking start already!
Nothing new or exciting to report, ALTHOUGH! I did get to spend a few days down at my sisters this week... got to baby sit my nephew which was awesome! I cant believe how much I miss him and how big he has gotten, he's like a lil human now. He can do things for himself... and man that kid can run! I am going to talk my sister into letting me make Myles a halloween costume... I want him to be a lion! and then we can teach him to say "ROAR!" it will be awesome!
Menace this weekend! Cant wait for that!
Monday is labor day, I get to have the day off! I have to work Sunday night but thats okay bc its karaoke and that is always fun.
I am switching programs at school... going from Media Arts & Animation to Graphic design and I am so excited! I already do so much graphic design that it shouldnt be too much of a transition!
Anyways. Thats all for me today. I will check in later!

Just leave the pieces when you go...
So my mind is all over the place today... fights on the home front have left me just a mess today. Not knowing which way is up or down anymore. I actually started this blog on Friday and I am just getting a chance to sit and write. The home front battles have turned into a full on war and I am feeling very defeated. I know this whole blog thing is suppose to be where I tell all about whats going on and maybe someday I will feel confident enough to share everything but I am so turned around right now I will leave it be. Although Vicki's "Leave the Pieces" last night may have been more ironic than I realized.
Traveled to the state fair last night! It was a fun trip... the ride started off with me being a bit shakened up but the day wasnt about me, it was about my best friend and I knew that so I pulled myself together long enough to get her through this expierence. I knew that I need to have my full game on to get her onto that stage, and I am so proud that she did what she did, a year ago that lil shy girl would have been throwing up in the bathroom or perhaps never performed at the county fair to start!We got down to the fair, took us longer to park than it actually did to drive down there, or so it seemed. We hauled ass through the crowds of people at the fair to get to the state where she was performing. After a few tiresome acts, she finally got to perform! I think I was more nervous than she was... I couldnt sit down. BUT she did awesome, as soon as she got that first word out all my nerves were swept away...
Although she didnt place, everyone was so proud of her and so supportive and now we get to go to Menace on Saturday! lol.
After the show we wondered around with Vicki's cousin John and his buddy, we got some beer, ate a ero (not on a stick) and rode on this skyline thing that took you from one side of the park to another... it was super cool. AND WE GOT TO SEE JOHNNY LANG ON STAGE but only from the damn ride... yup... those are Johnny Lang's lights!
All in all, the state fair expierence went well, we had fun and Vicki got to do something that she would have never done before... I am very proud of her and now I get to move onto the next thing in my life... putting the pieces back together... or do we just leave em...
You're not sure that you love me
But you're not sure enough to let me go.
Baby it aint fair ya know
To just keep me hangin' round,
You say you don't wanna hurt me,
Don't wanna see my tears.
So why are you still standin' here 
Just watchin' me drown?
And it's all right yeah I'll be fine
Don't worry bout' this heart of mine,
Just take your love and hit the road,
There's nothing you can do or say
you're gonna break my heart anyway,
So just leave the pieces when you go.
Now you can drag out the heartache,
Baby you could make it quick,
Really get it over with
And just let me move on.
Don't concern yourself
With this mess you left for me,
I can clean it up you see
Just as long as you're gone.
And it's all right yeah
I'll be fine don't worry bout' this heart of mine
Just take your love and hit the road,
There's nothing you can do or say
you're gonna break my heart anyway
So just leave the pieces when you go.
You're not makin' up your mind
It's killin' me and wasting time.
I need so much more than that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
And it's all right yeah
I'll be fine don't worry bout' this heart of mine
Just take your love and hit the road,
There's nothing you can do or say
you're gonna break my heart anyway
So just leave the pieces when you go.
Leave the pieces when you go,
oh yeah, Leave the pieces when you go,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Leave the pieces when you go

You go glen coco...
Wow, What a fucken night I had! Things started off fine, I was actually happy to be at work. My regular happy hour guys were there and we had a good time laughing and joking around. Slowed down for a bit between happy hour and karaoke but then it got busy. It was great, I was really happy to see it get like that.
Well it was about 10 or so and I had run to the back to check for Red Bull, my ponytail had fallen out so I hopped into the back bathroom *which very few people even know about* to fix it. That is when I noticed that some immature asshole had decided to take a permanent marker and write shit ALL OVER the bathroom stalls. Like we are back in seventh grade...
To make the "vandalisam" that much better, it was shit about me. Once I figure out how to get photos off this phone I will post em. Just a bunch of bull shit about god knows what.... So pretty much, someone came into my bar... stole my permanent marker... and wrote shit about me on my bathroom walls... way to go asshole!
What pisses me off more then someone saying shit about me, because I consider myself pretty confident and people can say shit about me all the fuck they want... write it on my car, write it in a text message, fucken have some balls and say it to my face... don't waltz your bitch ass into my place of employment and feel great about vandalizing my walls. That is what pisses me off the most, someone had to come in and destroy the place that I work, how does that make me look to my fellow employees, my karaoke dj and my customers. I don't come into your office and write bull shit all over your fucken cubicle. Have a little respect, not just for me and my bar and but for yourself.
Ok, ok enough swearing for me. Today is a new day and I can't dwell on the past. Although, some dicks were doing burnouts and whipping donuts in the parking lot last night and they got picked up. That was kinda funny.
Well, I am going to try and get my phone fixed today so wish me luck.
I'm out
