MemorieS!

So, I was looking through some pictures and found this ancient one! This was taken about 8 years ago from my bridal shower. This is most of the gang from high school. Man does this bring back some memories. Loved the camo theme!

• Top Row, L to R: Sage (my cute little niece), Carime (sis), Jacklyn, Kathy, Me (of course), Tami, Jacie, Jette and Bonnie

• 2nd Row, L to R: Hailey, Katie C., and Lyndsee

• Bottom being all seductive: Melanie

I love all you guys. Thanks for all the good memories, laughs and fun that we had.

Who Said I Wasn't Deep?

Today I was cleaning my desk at work and found a sticky note with a poem on it that I wrote like 2 years ago. I really can't remember why I wrote it, but something must have been bugging me. I hated english and I am no writer in any sense, but I thought it was funny and you might enjoy:

Just when you think you know

Up comes the storm

And the wind forcefully blows

to the point you know their a cowardly worm

Your pride and heart crushed

Your work and thoughts destroyed

Your actions and words hushed

To find out it was all just a ploy

I AM DAMAGED GOODS.

SWEET THANG!

Here are a few pictures that I took on Sunday of my niece, Ellianna. She is so adorable. There were too many pictures to pick from. But these ones were my favorite. I sure love this little goombah!!

DAN BIRCH

Dan, you will be greatly missed. We are all praying for your family, friends and those adorable little girls. I just wanted to thank you for all the memories growing up, your friendship and your endless smile! Words can't express the loss that we are feeling at this moment. We love you and we will miss you!

HARLEY

Harlo, we miss you! Please come back soon!

FINAL DESTINATION

So, I know it sounds dumb, but ever since my wreck, I feel like one of the chicks on Final Destination! I feel like I have cheated death and now death is looking for me. The other day when I was driving to work, which is only about a mile away from my house, I had THREE people pull out right in front of me. They were all pull outs to the point where I HAD to slam on my brakes, skidding almost sideways, just to avoid a collision. Then on Friday night, I jumped in the tub and I guess I fell asleep. Well when I woke up I was under water and I was gasping for air, and had swallowed a bunch of water. When we were driving home from Jackson last night I made sure that we didn't pass any trucks full of logs. I can promise you for the next little bit I am going to be very cautious and probably cancelling any skydiving thoughts I've had.

Bad and Good Luck

Well today we were on our way to Idaho Falls to go to a gun show. Nathan had to work all day Saturday so today was the only day we had to hang out. A little storm was hitting us, but nothing that we haven't seen before. We were just heading through the lavas between Blackfoot and Shelley when... it happened. Somone went to pass us and cut us off too short, so I tapped my brakes and that was enough for us to start sliding. First our back end started to go and that's when I knew we were screwed. So I started singing, "Jesus take the wheel, Take it from my hands....." But that didn't work, probably because I don't know the whole song. They aren't a kiddin' when people say that it all goes in slow motion. On the freeway going 65 mph, doing a 360 in the middle of the freeway and then BAM! We slam into the gaurd rail head on. Then it spins us again and spits us out on the other side of the borrow pit. When we hit the guard rail me and Nate slammed our heads together. I think I was knocked a little loopy, but for the most part we were safe. Things definately could have been worse. We could have rolled, or hit another vehicle or even flipped over the guardrail, we were very lucky. Two other vehicles stopped to see if we were alright and then helped push us out of the borrow pit. And to much of our surprise, our car started back up and we could still drive it. Did we turn around and go home? Did we call for someone to come and help us? HECK NO! We kept on our way to Idaho Falls and went to the gun show, grabbed some lunch and then, headed home. I am glad that our Father in Heaven was looking over us and was keeping us safe. Even though it was an accident, it could have been alot worse. I am counting my blessings tonight, that is for sure!
