My lovely Annabelle(32)

My lovely Annabelle I’m so sorry that I wasn’t there during your last moments. I didn’t get to caress your keyboard or hold your mouse, and to thank you for all you have taught me about yourself. I wish we could have had more time to get to know each other. Even though it’s not been to long I want to thank you for all you’ve done for me. You never complained once when I needed to state up late and finish a assignment, or when I just wanted to chat with friends on the internet you never told me to just let you sleep but kept up your cheerful working spirit! Thank you for being

Funny Generation (31)

I believe my generation will be known as the do whatever you want generation, the generation of homosexuals and what have you. Maybe we’ll even be known as the generation who had the first female President, or maybe even the first black President.
It will be known as a time of moral decline. I hope though that it will also be known as the time of preparation, preparation for the Coming of Jesus!

The Best of the Worst (30)

The year 1999 stand out as one of the best years and one of the worst years of my life. The year started out wonderful. I was the beloved little sister of two big brothers. I had just started school! I was a big girl even though I was only nine years old. My family was healthy and happy, healthy until March. That’s when we got the news my Mom was sick. She had live cancer. No worries though, my Mom was strong, and she could do anything, including grow wings a fly, or so I thought. In April I had a birthday party, and my Mom baked me an apple pie, my absolute favorite. Did I say a birthday party? I mean I had about five of them. All of our church members were throwing me parties, it was amazing! Several days later my Mom went to sleep while my brother Jered sang to her. She never woke up. Kody and I were at school and we were brought home soon. I couldn’t figure out why we were going home so early, and nobody would tell me why. The thought never crossed my mind that my Mommy wouldn’t be there to welcome me home. Several Aunts greeted me on the doorstep and then reality hit… Several months later my Dad started communicating with some ladies. We spent our first Thanksgiving without my Mommy at my grandparent’s house. Dad spent most of the time on the phone, while I spent most of the time with my cousin in our playhouse making delicious dishes out of marbles and plastic toys. Sometime around there Connie came into our lives, she came up to visit us for the first time. I thought it was quite odd that she was there, but the food improved dramatically so I didn’t think much of it. My first Christmas without my Mom we spent at Connie’s mom’s house. She was very sweet and decided that she was okay. That Sabbath afternoon we went for a family walk. My Dad told my brothers that he and Connie were engaged. Somehow I totally missed that one and was informed while listening in (as usual) to my brother’s conversation. I didn’t know what to think, and I was definitely not ready for more changes the next year would bring. Connie didn’t turn out to be the typical fairytale stepmother, and I thank the Lord for sending her into my life. I would have grown up a little barbarian if she hadn’t of come when

Grocery Egg Upset! (29)

As I walked into the grocery store without the kids I sighed a happy sigh of relief. Fifteen minutes into my grocery shopping experience I was browsing through the cold section. I didn’t notice the elderly man backing up into me. He obviously didn’t see me either. (must have been near sighted) He kept backing up until he bumped me which set of a chain reaction. I fell backward arms flailing into a crate full of eggs. Unfortunately for me the crate wasn’t very stable and it broke with me falling on top of it smashing the whole foot by foot crate of eggs. Ugh! Not one of the eggs remained intact and my grocery money was spent on paying for the damage. I ended up home, no groceries and covered in egg yoke. What else could of gone wrong?
