This morning as I am getting my little one ready for school. I am listening to the tv in the background and I hear of something just awful happening at Virginia Tech. The first thing I could think of was that 2 of my cousins attend that school and I had to get a hold of them. I spoke to Erin and she said she was all right she was on the other side of campus when the bloodbath unleashed, but she was scared out of her mind because she couldnt get a hold of her brother Anthony.. He was attending class.. in the Norris Building... her and I stayed on the phone together for what seemed like days. My house phone rang off the hook with family memebers asking me if I had heard anything from eiter of them. As the day went on I had more and more family gather at my house as we watched the drama unfold on the television and took turns talking to Erin. Finally about 3:15 that afternoon we got word that Anthony was safe..his class was being held on the first floor of the building. Him and some of his buddies had taken refuge in one of the bathrooms and locked the door. They shoved garbage cans and thier bookbags in front of the door, just hoping that it would stop who ever was evil enought to do this. Erin and Anthony will be heading home tomarrow we can not wait until they are in our arms. Unfortunatly for some of thier friends they will not get that chance to be reunited with thier families. It is times like this that I ask our lord why such sensless things happen and why innocent lives are taken away. I have yet to recieve and answer. Please do not forget the men and women that lost thier lives yesterday. Please remember!

Hello again,

Many of you have been with me and left me messages to know that I am not forgotten here on the stream. In news from my end of the world. Our "Puppy" is going to be a little girl. We have yet to pick out a name but my lovely and adorable 5 year old is insisting on that we name the baby Spot~! I love him I really do. Well my husband over the weekend of Easter suprised me with something else. He asked me to remarry him(We are already married but he wants to renew the vows) This time he wants to do it right. We got married in the court house last time with only my mom and his dad as witnesses. This time he wants to go all out with flowers a huge cake and everything. We have come to an agreement that it will have a tropical theme be very laid back and not a lot of people. Well today with our mother my sister and I went to a bridal expo with a large fashion show and saw a bunch of beautiful dresses. On our way in there who should we stumble across but my ex and her ex (who are now best friends) and thier new fiances... We both where about ready to strangle someone. It was bad enough to see them but to then have them sit directly in front of us when the fasion show was going on I was about ready to kill someone. Anyway that was a wonderful blast from the past I could have done without. We have found the perfect spot along the river where we can park our boat. There is a huge building with a lot of windows and open space. Then in the same park is an island that has a huge fenced in playground in the shape of a pirate ship for the kids to play on. Then there is a lagoon with fountians and paddleboating and an ice cream shop. It will be in may of next year so I will have plenty of time to try and lose the baby weight after this one is born. She is schedualed to make her debut on October 11th 2007. Exactly one year to the day after she is born my sister is getting married on October 11, 2008. She said I couldnt have choosen a better day for her to share her wedding aniversary with her niece. Well anyway. Stay cool. and get ready for some spring cleaning!!! It is getting to be that time of year.
