Um, let's ask Pastor Lindsay to pray over the building.

Begin to...

Yeah.

Lord, we thank you for where you have led us to.

We thank you, Lord, that by your Spirit, you have ordained this time, this date, this place, Lord, that you have opened up heaven for us.

Lord, even right now, we sanctify and set this building apart, that it would only ever bring glory to you.

Lord, that in this space, Jesus would be magnified.

All the kiddos.

So tell us how you got into running first.

Yeah.

So I have an interesting relationship with running, 'cause I would never have ever called myself a runner.

And then, um, a couple of weeks ago actually, I was tidying through a cupboard and I found a box which in it had, um, my Parkrun barcodes and loads of medals and bib, you know, race numbers and things.

Um, so I was a runner.

Um, and I, you know, used to run regularly and was part of a running group with work and things like that, but had a bit of a love/hate relationship, and I would never have said that I enjoyed running, and I found it really hard and I'm a, I would describe myself as a plodder.

You know, I'm not, I'm not up there at the, the, the front of the pack.

Oh, wow

Yeah

... my mom was really close with my two youngers.

Like, she would come over and cuddle the babies, 'cause she'd be in the same town, and then I could go back to bed.

Like, she was so hands-on, so helpful for me.

But during a pandemic, when everyone's, you know, isolating, she didn't have that same relationship with my youngest, Mav.

So sh- she, he wasn't as comfortable with other people.

It was just me and my husband.

Mm-hmm.

[laughs]

Quick story.

A year and a half ago, we...

A year and a half, two years.

Anyway, uh, we're in Michael's, and I forget what we were even looking for, and I hear from halfway across the store, "Mom, I found the pineapples."

Oh, yeah.

And so it, I want him to make his own decisions.

I want him to experience his own things.

Yeah

... yeah, almost a peninsula.

And, uh, we tucked ourselves back in the woods a little bit and sat down, and I instantly realized that it was almost, like, at a slope where we had had the decoys that you couldn't really even see the decoy.

And it, like, "Well, maybe we should move," and at that point we were settled.

And, um, but I had a good, you know, view.

And all of a sudden he started calling, and got a gobble.

The kind you like to hear.

Yeah.

It happens.

Yeah.

But some of the other highlights, I mean, we're not big Tiki Room people.

Um, I actually just realized there was one at Disneyland on our last trip in December, and so [laughs] we went to that for the first time.

But the Tiki Room in, um, Tokyo Disneyland has Stitch.

And so we went and saw it, and I was just waiting the whole time like, "Is it Stitch? Is it Stitch?" With my camera, and the kids are like, "Mom, chill out." And I'm like, "I wanna see Stitch." And that was just a really cute twist on the ride.

Um, their castle is Cinderella's castle, and they have a walkthrough where you can go and see her glass slipper and meet her.

Wow.

Mm-hmm.

And there's gonna be food and drink specials on the patio, live entertainment.

Uh, we're gonna have different vendors come and set up different booths out there.

We just want people to stay downtown-

Okay.

So like a soup and salad bar, so you can get in and get out, or you can buy something pre-made from the coolers and just head out, or you can sit down and have a nice à la carte lunch too.

What am I doing wrong?" And what would you say? Is that normal or abnormal for somebody who's new to the ER, whether they're a new grad or an experienced nurse but just new to the ER?

100% normal.

100% normal, especially in the ER 'cause you- there's so many...

You're like...

People say this a lot.

The ER is the jack of all trades, but it- you're the masters of, of nothing.

There's so many things that you have to know.

What are some flubs that you remember having as a new grad, and how did you overcome that?

I know.

Oh, I know.

But it takes a lot of nerve to, like, come up on stage and wear this tonight.

And she's come back so nicely, where she was not even immune, and nobody was even trying to get the vote on Tiffany.

So is Tiffany now replacing Ozzy in the Rizzo, Cirie, Tiffany trifecta?

Just snow specifically?

Yeah.

It's just a lot different than like, you know, we, we do everything on, like, routine maintenance.

Um, we do...

We utilize the level billing.

Um, everything is on a, on a yearly contract.

We have residential, commercial, all of that.

Yeah

Mm

...

but I think maybe we could do something a little more meaningful than my name, and maybe you could get something, like, that we both love together, like-

Oof.

I, I understand that, but I think the biggest reason why I'm bringing this up is that you don't even know if you love me yet, so tattooing my name on your body just seems like a really big jump, you know what I mean?

Oh my God.

Yeah.

Mary says that the suspect opens up this backpack and proceeds to duct tape her arms behind her back, pulls out a knife, and cuts her clothing off.

And over the course of several hours, he sexually assaults her in various ways with multiple objects.

He had a bottle of OxiClean, and he was basically spraying that on her after each sexual assault, I guess in his mind thinking he was gonna somehow eliminate his DNA.

And then after a while, the suspect tried to force her to take some of his prescription medications and basically gave her a handful of these pills and told her to take the pills.

Mary had the presence of mind to spit them out when he turned his head, and then she kind of rubbed some dirt over the top of them and scooted on top of the pills, so he didn't see that she spit them out.

McKinley Park.

They were looking for a potentially dangerous stranger to introduce to the elderly Anita.And it gave them pause

That paired with them not speaking to his brothers, we just, we weren't sure if maybe this was our safest way to go about this, and we wanted to take some time to kind of figure out a game plan.

Then her father died.

Just always onto this next draining thing, you know? And since it is honoring this wish of her mom, it's helping her heal, and I can just see that when we talk about the story.

She's so hopeful and she's so determined, and this is something that I haven't seen with Debbie in a very long time.

(laughs) Like, it does not surprise me.

Where he struggles is with writing and spelling.

He notoriously won't capitalize, he won't write complete sentences, and he won't put a punctuation in.

He just says, "I, I forget," or, "I don't remember." Or he knows that if he gets it done, he'll have free time.

He'll get to play, uh, Legos or reading time if he can complete his work early.

Yeah, yeah, Mondrian art.

You have a hypothesis.

They talk about the materials they need and the methods that they're gonna use.

Did you just go through every single moment of your relationship trying to- t- trying to see if you- you picked up on anything or...

Yeah, I didn't sleep for days.

I ran over things again and again in my head.

And, uh, part of me didn't really still believe it.

It took quite a- a while to sink in.

Just before Christmas, Carlo surprised Lindsay with a trip to Venice.

He just said, "I've got us tickets, and I've got us a, a room in Venice.

Let's just go." And I was just so bowled over by that thoughtfulness and that generosity.

I, uh, I didn't realize Venice would be so cold at that time, but, [laughs] um, I've just got certain images, like us flying, flying to Venice together, and we were just, we were just holding each other the whole time.

We were telling each other we loved each other.

It was a real, it was a really [laughs] romantic flight over, actually, because by that point, I was like, "Yes, this person definitely cares for me." When we were in Venice, it was beautiful because there weren't thousands of people there, you know.

So sometimes we were walking around fairly empty streets, and I, I was so happy.
