Daily Dose of Drew

Times are always changing

2009-09-16T12:13:00.000-07:00

Dear Patients,

I have been directed by my mother to update my blog because all of my old posts are about Madison and well we all know how that crap ended. Anyways i shall tell you what i have been doing lately and how times are always changing.

I am out at school again and i have no social life because of the accounting homework that i have, but it is all good because with no social life it means that i can not get my heart broken. So I live in a house and my only excitement was last night when a fat kid came running into my room telling me he was going to kick my @** because i was making to much noise. Well i controlled my temper for once and just laughed at him. That was my exciting experience of the week from me. So pretty much the life of Drew is kind of like a old movie. No sound just me going through the motions trying to find what i should do with my life.

My advice is never trust a California girl cause she will break that southern heart.

I Finally can say I am truly Happy

2009-03-08T23:58:00.000-07:00

Dear Patients,

Two years ago I was excited to serve my mission. Two months after I began my mission I had to come home. MY world was crushed. The one thing that I had worked for my whole life was gone. After this time I tried to find happiness. At times I thought I was truly happy... Like when Clemson killed Carolina, but i realized that this always happens so it really did not make me that happy. But Now i have truly found that happiness.

In life when you find that someone that makes you smile beyond believe you find yourself truly happy. Madison Warner is that special person for me. This weekend I was so so so sick, and she was there for me. She went to the store and got me medicine and gatoraide and then stayed by my side to make sure i got better. I am so blessed to have her in my life and for the first time since my mission I can say that i am truly happy. I cant put how i feel for her in words so i am going to stop trying cause it does not do her justice.

So patients your doctor is amazinly happy because of this wonderful Lady

Madison

2009-02-12T15:23:00.000-08:00

Dear Patients,

At the request of my dear mother I am letting the world know about my wonderful girlfriend. Her name is Madison Brooke Warner and she is from California. She is the type of girl I have always dreamed about and now i finally have been blessed to date her. She is absolutely gorgeous and is so sweet and loves to make fun of my accent. Here is how we met:

Our Story

I was in church one Sunday and I noticed this beautiful blonde girl in my ward. I am friends with the relief society president so i asked her if she knew who this girl named madison was. She told me that she knew her and asked why I was wondering. I told her I think she is really cute and would like to get to know her. The relief society president was so excited and said that she would go talk to Madison that night. I got a text from the relief society president later that night saying i should go introduce myself the next night.

So monday came around and after Family Home Evening i decided to build up enough courage to go and see this beautiful lady. As i knocked on the door my heart was pounding. The door opened and i asked if madison was there. She walked to the door and i was taken back by her beauty. We attempted to shake hands but we kinda missed and i was like oh junk i already messed up..

We talked that night and i found out that she was not only beautiful but also very sweet. The week went on and on wed i asked her if she wanted to watch a movie on saturday night. We did and it was amazing. We sat next to each other the next day at church and i was so happy. the next week we starting hanging out a lot more and on saturday we went ice skating and then had cinnamon rolls. It was amazing.

Then yesterday we were watching a movie and it became obvious that we were more than friends. I asked her to be my girlfriend and she told me to ask her in spanish.... So i did and her response was SI!!!! which means yes of course :).

She is truly my best friend and i am so happy that i found such a wonderful girl that loves the gospel and treats me so sweetly. I am thankful for her kindness and for the friendship that we are forming. I hope that i will date her for a long time cause she makes me want to be better.

so my prescription today is when you find that someone that makes you happy be sure to appreciate them and let them know how much they mean to you

My New Love..

2009-02-05T15:56:00.000-08:00

Dear Patients,

I have found a new love. It is accounting. I love to go to my accounting class and i am freakin good at it. I never would have thought that i would enjoy something that had to do with math. I am the kid in the class that answers all the questions and i am finally the kid that people call and ask for help before the test. My teacher is very enthused that i share his love for accounting and is prompting me to change my major. I am thinking about changing my major and becoming an accountant. Weird huh. Well i really do love to do my homework and to read in my accounting book. So who knows one day i might be an accountant for the church.... isnt that scary ahahahahaha. Well i have to go study for an accounting test.

The News is in and the Doctor is studying

The Blessings of the Lord always come when he promises they will

2009-01-29T16:12:00.000-08:00

Dear Patients,

Today I am full of gratitude for my Heavenly Father. I want to tell an experience that I have had here at BYU-Idaho. First, I would like to explain the background of this experience. I have been promised through blessings that i would be able to serve in the church especially in the field of missionary work. When i came home early from my mission for medical reasons i felt like i had been robbed of my blessing. I felt as though i had not done everything i could to be able to receive the blessing that i had been promised. The last night of my mission my District Leader gave me a blessing saying that i had a greater work to do but this still did not make me feel like my blessing would come. My second sunday of this winter semester i was talking with the Bishop and he asked me if I wanted a calling in the ward. I told him that i would love to have a calling, and then he proceeded to tell me that the Lord wanted me to be the Ward Mission Leader. I was stunned. I thought , "Bishop you know i did not serve but six weeks on mission" but this was the calling i was going to receive. He then continued to tell me that i would teach the missionary prep classes each week and that in our ward boundries we had one of the six nonmembers that attend BYU-Idaho. At that moment i knew that i had been blessed. I felt the spirit so strong. I taught my first missionary prep class last week. As i spoke i was guided by the spirit. I have about 15 pre missionaries in my class and am excited to teach them. I am thankful for how the Lord works. I am grateful for my Savior and for the things he has done for me. I pray that I will be able to follow the guidance of the spirit and teach these prospective Elders what they need to know.

My dear Patients please pray that i will have the ability to preform this task. Please pray for the nonmember in my ward, that i will be able to teach him the truths of this gospel. I am glad that i have an opportunity to serve in the BYU-Idaho 28th ward. This is my mission, i know it is. I am proud to be in the Lord's work and am excited to see the premissionaries grow throughout this semester.

My proscription today is always know that the promised blessings of the Lord will come if we remain faithful and righteous. I know this true. I know that The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints is the Lord's church

The Fun At BYU-I

2009-01-22T14:53:00.001-08:00

Dear Patients,
I know that I have not written in a very long time.. I am sorry. I am sitting at the David O Mcay library. I have finished my homework and i have a quota of meeting five new girls and getting a date for tomorrow. So i picked the computer that was closest to a pretty Blonde girl. For a couple of minutes i have been looking to see if there was a shinny diamond on her finger... drum roll please.... and there is not so that means i am going to "Contact" her. She is cute and i think that i will get to know her hahaha. I know that my family would enjoy this little bit of fun so i decided to write it.
My proscription is;..... The mission teachings can carry over to dating principles
The advice is in and the Doctor is trying to land a date

For Patti

2008-12-13T21:02:00.000-08:00

So as I was walking through the wooded glen of ficus trees the ancient turtle saw the kings trident running away from the cabin. The fish swam with jubilance as the lily flew through the joint room of happy gofers eating key lime pie. The swamp was filled with reds and green no this was not a dream. Tiger said hey fairy godmother and the sheep made clothes with its wool. the tropical island plant dropped the ball as the monkey plucked the river full of cherry trees. The honest thomas read his poem as the firefly skipped over the meadow of fear. The trojan ran threw the sewer with ocean front property in idaho screaming his name. the fear of the flannel t-shirt yelled as the door opened to the master of blubber making. the aunt read the snowmans will as the sun settled across the field. I ran to the bark as the rainman sang his tune of love and vomit. The wind blew her hair. floor access. fanatics. Then the story goes the man on the tricycle ate the moth and the chimney had a tea party as the roman soldier fell from the ironclad horse. The dog whispered to the tool man and the the honey bee stung the elephant in the ear. Then the door swung open for all to hear. I joke as i poke i poke as i joke. run. fervent. tigers. story. the grade point average was there. then the lion danced on the stage as the door flew in the allay. the airplane took a flight. elephantitis. joker. block. reverse. then the ghost of thanksgiving ate the turkey but did not eat cranberry sauce which is a no no in the ghost world so casper whooped him. the sandlot kids lost that ball? so what it is a ball. Then the onion ring squirted out hot oil and it got in my eye.

Dr. Drews Heros

2008-11-21T12:49:00.001-08:00

Dear Patients,

Today I want to share some of my heros. I have many heros in my life. The first one of course is our older brother Jesus Christ. I can not begin to explain how much he means to me. I am grateful for his sacrifice so that I can live with him again. I am thankful for being forgiving, because everyone knows how much I mess up. I am thankful for his gospel and his love.

My second heros are none other than my parents. I am thankful for the parents that my Heavenly Father sent me to. My dad is the most compassionate man alive. I joke with him about how he loves Peter more (if you know my family you will know what I mean haha) , but i know that he loves me just as much. My mother is the hardest worker I know. When I hear the country song "I thouhgt I was tough" I think of her. I am amazed at how much she does for all of her children. She will go days without sleep just so she can work extra shifts so we can have what we want. She has an unselfish love that cannot be matched by any other person but Christ.

My brothers and sisters are also my heros. Heather will give all she has to help her family. It makes me very angry when people think of her as adopted. SHE IS MY SISTER. I love her just as much as any other sibling and she is one of us. I know that she was supposed to come to our family. LaNelle is like my other Mom what more can I say... she is amazing and has a love like no other.. The children that come to her family will be the most blessed children ever. Peter is truly my best friend. we talk about anything and everything. He is the muscle behind my talk. He is freakin huge. He has a testimony of the church and he is not afraid to tell someone about it. Patti is amazing also. She is so caring about everyone. I can not wait until I get to be out with her in Idaho. She is an example to me and pushes through all of the challenges that life gives her. J Con, aka JO JO aka, jose, aka connor is the man. He is the sweetest child ever. The other night I said I felt like I was going to throw up and immediately he jumped up and got a trash can and put it by my bed. Sarah Beth aka tubbs is so so so funny. She puts me in my place everyday. She likes to eat just like me and you can find me and her eating cookie dough on the couch pretty much all day haha.

My cousins amaze me. I love all of them. The Edwards have always been there and are so strong in the church which is an example to me. The Coombs are the strongest kids i ever met and they make you laugh by their funny jokes. Katie is so so so sweet. I love her so much. She is so kind and I love the times we spend together.

My Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles are my heros too. I love each and everyone of them for the things that they do for me.

Two heros I want to mention are very special to me. I will not mention there names but if you read this you will most likely figure out who they are. This couple is so sweet. They are always there to give and give and give. They have given me so much as I have grown up. They have given me employment opportunities, chances for education, and spiritual enlightenment. Without this couple I dont know where I would be. They are loved by everyone and they treat others as they would like to be treated. One of them is truly an "Iron man" and the other is superwoman. I love my heros.

Patients it is very important to have heros in our lives. I am thankful for the many heros that I have. I know that the Lord puts this people into our lives to help us. I am excited to meet new heros as I go on through this journey called Life. I am thankful for the examples I have in my life. The proscription that I give today is simple. Think about the heros in your own life, and then seek to be a hero for someone else.

Well the Advice is in and the Doctor is out.

Sincerely

Dr. Drew

Reflection Time with Dr. Drew

2008-11-06T11:48:00.000-08:00

Dear Fellow Patients,

I know that it has been a while since my last letter. I have been trying to think of something to write that would delight my patients. Today as I was reading a church conference talk I knew what my next subject to address would be. So here it is, I hope that yall with enjoy this as much as I enjoy yall.

I would like to talk about a subject that is very close to my heart. It is a subject that is probably close to many of my patients hearts as well. The subject is Missionary work. Missionary work has been a huge part of my life. My family is a group of converts. I am very thankful for the missionaries that taught my family the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. As a young boy I decided that serving a mission was something that I longed for. For those who are not of my faith let me first explain what a mission is. In our church young men and women have the opportunity to serve a mission for our church. For young men they can go when they turn 19 and serve for two years. For young women they can go when they turn 21 and serve for a year and a half. You are told where you will be serving and it can be anywhere in the world speaking any language. So now that we have that settled lets return to memory lane. From a very early age I can remember the feeling of excitement when I thought about serving a mission. I remember watching the missionaries in my ward, and dreaming of the day that I would get to wear a name tag.

As I started to get older this dream started to get closer and closer. Once I graduated high school I felt like my dream was oh so close. I had a countdown of when I could submit my mission papers and I prayed that it would come quickly.

On December 12th 2006 I submitted my missionary papers. I remember walking out of the Stake President's office with joy in my heart. On December 29th 2006 I received my missionary call. With my family all around me I announced that I would be serving in the Oregon Eugene Mission. I also learned that I would be required to learn the Spanish language. What joy I felt that day. I remember going to sleep that night and feeling so close the the prophet of the church who had issued my call.

On April 4th 2007 I entered the Missionary Training Center. I said my goodbyes to friends, family including one of the missionaries who baptized my mother. I remember the feeling of sadness I had when I left them behind, but I also remember the immediate joy as I walked down the stairs with all the new missionaries.

My dream had come true. I was a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Shortly after entering the MTC I began to feel unworthy of being there. I thought that I was not good enough to have the blessing of serving the Lord. I decided that I would talk to my Branch President. As I talked to him he smiled and said, "Elder you have told me everything about your life and I know that you are worthy to be here, and if I was a mission president I would love to have you as one of my missionaries." I felt better. I felt happy again. Then not long after the same feeling returned. It got so bad that I could not eat and it was hard to sleep at night. I was constantly worrying about my worthiness. I went to the District President. He told me to talk to him about everything I though I had ever done wrong. I talked to him about everything that I had done wrong since I could first remember. He told me the same thing my Branch President told me. The feeling would not go away though. I had to return home because I had made myself sick because I worried too much.

My dream was gone. I remember the sad feeling I had as I approached my father at the airport. For months I struggled with being home. I was scared of what people thought, and how they judged me.

I still hurt when I see pictures of missionaries, because I wish I had the chance to serve for two years. I know now that it was not my fault and that I can be a missionary all of my life. I am thankful for the roommates that I had out in Idaho that helped me realize this. I am thankful for a loving Bishop that called me to be his secretary, because this gave me an opportunity to serve and learn about the church. I know that the Lord lives, and that he has a plan for each of us. I know that missionary work is very important in our lives. I know that the restored church of Jesus Christ is on the earth today. I am grateful for the opportunity I had to learn the Spanish Language. I would like to bear my testimony in Spanish. I do not know how to do accent marks on the computer so please forgive me. Se que JesuCristo vive. creo en el Libro de Mormon. Estoy agradecido por mi familia. Jose smith fue y es un profeta de dios. creo en el poder de oracion. En el nombre de JesuCristo amen.

I know that this post is not usual for Dr. Drew but I felt like sharing this.

thanks

Dr. Drew

Dr. Drew Needs Advice

2008-10-29T14:28:00.000-07:00

Dear Fellow Patients,

Today I write you with gratitude in my heart. I am very thankful for my many patients who are loyal to my blog. I feel a very close relationship with my patients, and therefore I have decided to come to yall for a question I have.

Before I ask this question I will tell the background to this question. One day as I was sitting upon my throne I noticed some strange markings on my thigh. I turned and looked at my other thigh and was surprised to found identical markings. As I thought to myself, I pondered the reason for these strange markings. Then all of a sudden I was taken back to a time where my mother was pregnant with the twins and the only show that she watched was a Baby Story. I could remember the frightened faces of the women on that show, and how they were afraid to get stretch marks. The room around me started to spin, I noticed these marks on my legs to be the dreaded marks of stretch. I thought to myself, "How could this be." I then said, "Well Dr. Drew you have gained forty pounds since high school, and have grown a couple of inches." After the room stopped spinning, I finished my prior business upon the throne, and started to wonder.

Even though I am a Dr. of Advice, I am not trained in the area of Stretch Marks. And since many or actuall all of my patients are women, I decided to ask yall for advice.

So Ladies I am in need of your help. The question I have for yall is: How can I get rid of these Stretch Marks. I would appreciate it if you could respond, and help me with this problem.

Well the Doctor is Out and hopefully the Advice will come in.

Dr. Drew

Prescription to feel older

2008-10-27T11:46:00.000-07:00

Dear Fellow Patients,

In my last post I provided a prescription to feeling younger, but one of my faithful patients has pointed out to me that she feels plenty young being around children all day long. So as the wonderful Doctor that I am, I have researched and found a prescription especially for her. Well actually any one can use this prescription if they feel they are surrounded by little children all day. This prescription is one that I have personally tried, and it has proven to be a success in my life.

First I would like to tell my fellow patients how I stumbled upon this new and wonderful treatment. As many of my patients know I attend BYU-Idaho. While attending this wonderful, amazing, spectacular university I developed some back pain. Yes, I know it is hard to believe that someone as amazingly fit, and handsome I might add, could have back pain at my young and buff age. So after being forced to go to a Doctor by my big sister/mother figure LaNelle Sheridan Simons, I found this wonderful treatment in order to feel older.

I was referred to a spinal specialist after speaking with my Doc. This is where the treatment began. As my big sis/mother figure, who i will refer to as MAH which means Mother Away from Home, took me into the spinal specialist I thought I had walked into bingo night at the retirement home. I was the Youngest patient there by probably 70 years. As I hobbled over to the desk I had to make my way through an obstacle course of walkers, wheelchairs, and canes. I do believe i was the only one besides my MAH with my real teeth. I am sure that many of these patients were suffering back pains because of the hard trip across the plains to escape persecutions from the people in Missouri.

After being around this quite aged people and seeing that they have the same pains that I do, I no longer feel as young and buff as I used to feel. It is quite amazing how this treatment has worked. I am sure that anyone who is suffering from FLALPBYASBTAD disease, for those who are not medically trained as myself do not know what FLALPBYASBTAD means i will tell you. It means Feeling Like A Little Person Because You Are Surrounded By Them All Day. So anyone suffering from FLALPBYASBTAD disease please try this outstanding prescription.

Over the past couple of months I have been to many Doctors for my back. My back has not really gotten any better, but I do not feel like a child any longer. This treatment is monumental.

So my prescription today is: If you want to feel older 1. Hurt your back 2. Come with me to a Doctors appointment or 3. Go play bingo.

Well the Advice is in and the Doctor is out

Sincerely,

Dr. Drew

Dr. Drew Goes to HIgh School Musical 3.

2008-10-24T13:34:00.000-07:00

Dear Fellow Patients,

Today I was told to bring my two little lovely brother and sister to High School Musical 3. This upset me because I was supposed to preform surgery on my brothers knee today, but instead mother insisted that i was not a real certified Doctor so I must take the twins to the movie instead. So while my brother was in the care of a Doctor that I do not know, instead of in my trusty hands, I was eating popcorn and watching a musical. To be fair it was a very well put together show. Of course my favorite parts included Ashley Tisdale. I do believe that I was the only Young Adult male in attendance. The age groups in the theatre consisted of: A. Little Children, such as the twins. B. Middle Aged Women, who were with their children, and C. Crazed High School Year old girls who skipped school to attend the event I might add. After the movie there were lots of reactions from the crowd. I heard one woman say to her child, "That was amazing, spectacular." I thought to myself, "No Spectacular is when a movies theme is smothered in sports." Some of my patients might be saying, "High School Musical has Basketball in it." I do not call the thing they show in the movie as basketball... Never in a basketball game have I seen a player walking down the floor in the middle of the game singing and dancing and then getting the ball and shooting it...... I dont think so. So the movie was good, a good movie but not spectacular by any means. Ha ha I am totally joking.... i know by now some of my patients are red in the face and about to quickly respond to this post... but slow down lil friends of mine... I do enjoy music and I enjoyed watching my little brother and sister sing and dance to this movie... It was nice to see a movie with no bad parts.... So the prescription that I proscribe today is: Don't be afraid to be a little kid again. Cause we all need to feel like a kid once in a while.. Well Advice is in and the Doctor is Out.

Sincerely,

Dr. Drew

Dear Fellow Patients,

Today lets talk about the evils of the internet.... there are many. Today we will not be focusing on traditional evils such as nasty pictures. Today we will be discussing the evils of Identity Left. The above website has taken my face as beautiful and good looking as it is and has told me That i Andrew American white boy sheridan.... looks like an asian..... Now i love asians but i do not resemble their astounding looks. My best friends is asian and me and him look nothing alike. As to the other pictures i can see some slight identity matches. Zack Efron or however you spell it asked me not to put his face up because we look just alike. So the prescription that i proscribe today is do not be fooled by the internet. Well patients of mine, I love you and thank you for coming into the office today.

DR. Drew goes to therapy.

2008-10-15T10:38:00.000-07:00

My First Sin

2008-10-12T14:33:00.000-07:00

The Baptism of the Twins yesterday made me think of my Baptism. As I was pondering about my wonderful day of covenant making I remembered my very first sin. As custom at Baptisms, food is served afterwords, because usually they are long and take 20 hours. Anyways my Grandmother decided to make my favorite food ever. These items are so amazing. My ham biscuits. Well I was excited to eat after my baptism. As I happily strolled down the hallway, trying not to run which is hard for me, I was imagining the taste of my biscuits. As I got to the Kitchen there were no biscuits left. I was quite unraveled at this. This is where i committed my first sin. I coveted those children who ate my biscuits. I continued to say that those fatsos ate my biscuits at my baptism. I have held this grudge for ever. Every time i see ham and biscuits i get angry. So the prescription that i am giving today is: Dont get Vivian Ard to make ham biscuits at your baptism.

My First Blog

2008-10-11T19:32:00.000-07:00

Today My Cousin Beth told me I needed to start a Blog. So I pondered this idea for a long while. After eating and resting my mind, I decided to Blog my feelings. It is very important for people to get their Daily Dose of Drew. Without this "Dose" people may feel sad, mad, not glad, or very uptight. I am not yet a Doctor but i do have a mother that is a nurse, and my Grandmother works in a Doctors office, and my brother-in-law kyle is a medical dude. Peter is a CNA and so it runs in my blood. I would first like to say that you can not overdose on Drew. My pictures will be stunning. My Contests will be amazing. Jackie aka JW will be providing me with the contest ideas. and El Presidente will be "Running the Contests". I hope that this little preview will get you ready to read. I am very excited and can not wait to hear the responses of my eager readers. Please check this blog every hour for it may change and you may be left out of the loop. I am grateful for the opportunity i have to blog about my ideas, feelings, emotions, dislikes, and loves. I am willing to accept any responses to this post. I will check frequently and respond back to your comments. Thank you so much for you time, friendship, and love.

Love

Doctor Drew...... I Love YOU.
