Re: Shooting in Lacey

It has been a very exhausting weekend and Monday. For those of you who live in the Lacey/Olympia area probably heard about the shooting early morning on Saturday. A really good friend of mine was at the wrong place at the wrong time and got shot in the leg which split his femur in two which took extensive surgery to fix. The hubby and I have spent all weekend going up there to see him and keep him company. Fortunately he is still in good spirits with the medication they are giving him for the pain. The man that shot him was luckily caught by the OPD and LPD and they ended up shooting him to death after resisting arrest and reaching for his weapon in the car. In a sinful way I am kind of glad this guy got killed by the police because he has a huge criminal background and people like him don't deserve to enjoy the freedoms that my husband went to war and fought for. Plus it is just one more POS off of the streets.

For those of you out there that pray, please pray for my friend to have a full recovery. Hopefully this injury won't cause him pain throughout the rest of his life. I know he is really bummed out because he has been looking forward to snowboarding all year and now he can't.

Anyway, I would write more but I am too tired.

Happy Reading!

A Dear Friend...

Back in August, we made a choice to have one of our dearest friends come back to Washington in hopes to help him improve his life. He is someone that was there for us when he didn't have to be, and someone that we were there for during the hardest time of his life. Anyway, he lived with us for almost four months, and just last week we had to ask him to find another place to stay because of financial reasons. And unfortunately he had to go back home all the way to Ohio. It is weird not having him here, and I really worry about him and the choices he is making. Before he joined the Army (he is out now) he did a lot of horrible things back in Ohio and I just hope that this time he is going to improve his life and rise above everyone in his family and actually make something of himself. I hate seeing people I care about fail in their lives. I am not exactly where I want to be financially in my life, but I have a good head on my shoulders and I make good decisions. I just have two little road blocks that call me "mommy"... and until they both get in school I really don't have many options to go back to school and improve myself. But you bet, when they are in school I will be getting my ass back to college and making something great of myself.

Anyway, it had been a few days since I had heard from our friend, and tonight his cousin "accidentally" got ahold of his phone and called using all kinds of vulgar language, not directed toward me, but he sounded like he was on drugs and it was just really disrespectful. Our friend got on the phone acting like he had no idea who he even was, and I just kind of feel like it was a big slap in the face.

Well, it's Friday night and I am going to be spending the whole night trying to clean my place. I am sick of the mess! I live in a house of only boys (besides the kitty), and sometimes I wanna go crazy!

My First Blog!

It is amazing that I have been into computers for so long and never once have I been a member of a blog community (besides Myspace, which you have to be careful what you post because there is so much ridiculous drama)! And I also love to write, that was one of the only subjects I did well at in school. Like my husband says, I think too much! So maybe this will be a good thing to have a BlogSpot account. Now the whole world will know what is going on in my life and maybe can relate to how I feel.

About Me:
I am 23 years old. I have been married to my husband Jerry since I was 17 (we are going to be celebrating our six year anniversary soon). We have two adorable little boys Aaron and Blake. Aaron is about to be five years old (November 21) and Blake will be two on December 2nd.  Those two little guys are a handful but they bring so much joy to my life. I go to bed every night wondering what I can do to make their life even better the next day. As far as I know right now, we are done having kids, the world is just too scary of a place to bring any more "victims" into it... Anyway, we have two adorable little furballs, Tucker and Anna (dog & cat), they keep us laughing.

Anyway... this was my start. Happy reading!
