Evidence and Thank You

The evidence is all in, pray that if this man deserves punishment that it comes swiftly.....


The officer that was on the scene told me that there was no way that this man could have not known that he ran over a person. If that is the case I hope they can prove it.


Thanks to everyone who has been so helpful and kind.... Especially to Crystal who baby sat me while I made arrangements for Christopher.... Your a great friend and I know you hate the mushy crap.. but I love ya!

Thanks Beck for listening to me:) I love you too:)

Wonder

As I write this, sitting next to me is a picture of my youngest brother Christopher. A week a go today was his last day on earth.  I keep waiting for these feelings of numbness people keep telling me about. I would love to be numb. Instead I feel this over whelming sadness that I can't describe. 

I wonder if it will ever go away......

I wonder if my Mom will ever be the same.

I wonder if I will ever get his service planned.

I wonder if it will be a good service, one he would like.

I wonder if he knew how much I really did love him.

I wonder if he ever knew how much he was loved.

I wonder if he is happy.

I wonder if I will ever stop wondering......

I love you Christopher

Hard life and blessings

Well life has been a tad rough as of late... Chris lost his job in April.. He has a new job.... it doesn't pay anywhere near what he was making, no benefits, but we are grateful for the work.....


We had savings but it is slowly dwindling away... and pretty soon it will be gone.... how will we pay our bills?

This is all I have been thinking about as of late.... I have been down in the dumps to say the least, so now I have decided to make a list of all of our blessings maybe that will help

1. Each other, I waited what felt like an eternity to find Chris, I love him and am very grateful for him

2. My children, each one of them is a blessing and I also love them very much.

3. Gospel, I can't imagine going through this without knowing that we have a loving Father in Heaven...

4. Friends and family that listen to me (thanks Beck)

5. Sense of humor it comes in quite handy in situations like these

6. He does have a job, so many don't right now

7. Kindness of others

I know it won't always be this way, we will get through this.... I hope :)

Uncle TOm

If my husbands Uncle doesn't move out of this house soon I will lose my mind! It's like having an annoying teen ager know it all around ALL OF THE TIME..... He is 61... I'm gonna lose it!

Sucks

LIFE SUCKS.. Okay so I know it doesn't really.... I think....

Hooligans

Yesterday I braved the battle field I like to call walmart, with two babies and two "bored" school children we ventured our way through the various isles dodging various cart pushers, finally we were done, as we walked through the front doors heading to the jungle known as the parking lot, I noticed some "hooligans" they were sitting on the ground in front of the store, they were your typical stoners, sitting there smoking and such, I saw Nick looking at them, so I made a mental note to discuss what he had seen, when one of them jumped up and started using any bad name you can think of, Right in front of my children.... I felt the hair stand up on the back of my neck, I felt that maternal instinct kick in and I pounced..... I said " Watch you language, there are young children here!" To my surprise the other "hooligans" circled the offender and said "Come on lets go" not before of course the offender spouted off a few more words and told me that Walmart thought she was a thief" K.. whatever...

When we got in the car I told my kids that those kids had obviously made and were making poor choices, and Nick pointed out that there parents probably were too.... Funny that he would think that way.... He also pointed out that those kids could have shot me..... I thought that was funny and sad that he would think that way too:) I told him that we must always stand up for what is right, and sometimes that was scarey.... He told me if he were going to do bad things it wouldn't be in front of Walmart for everyone to see...... Should I be worried? :)
