Wow...I have a ton to update on. Going back to even a couple of weeks ago. However I think that I will focus this on just this past weekend and update the rest later with a backdated entry. So, the 4th of July! First of all, I love living in America. I think that we get used to the way we are able to live and therefore, we take it for granted much ( Read more... )

Ten Things You Want To Say To Ten Different People ( Read more... )

I have somebody royally ticked off at me. Who? I have no clue. I haven't socialized much to speak of since being in UT...basically just with family and old time friends through e-mail or whatever. Yet yesterday on my LJ I received three ANONYMOUS comments from someone who apparently is not too pleased with me and who also isn't brave enough to ( Read more... )

Dear Journal...wow I haven't used that line in a while have I?! Well...it is now officially "The New Year." 2008. Has been for about a day or so but this is the first chance I've had to really write about it. We all went to Aunt Cathy and Uncle Rob's house and played Rummikub and toasted at midnight with them and Grandma Lund. Well...everyone ( Read more... )

Well...we've been texting with Adam all evening from the time they went to the hospital for Kerri's induction. As you may have read previously her baby wasn't due until Lexi's birthday on Nov. 18 but they induced her 3 or so weeks early because of preclampsia. So instead he was born today- a day after his sister Shannon's 3rd birthday! Kerri WAS ( Read more... )

Okay, I've really sucked at updating lately. So here's a quick summary of some things I've neglected to tell you all. My mom was about a month pregnant when Kerri left for Germany. About a month or two after Kerri had been in Germany she found out that she was pregnant. My mom found out she was having a girl due on Oct. 23 or so- very close to ( Read more... )

So tonight my mom got a text message on her cell phone from Kerri which said "Money's in. Wish us luck!" The money thing was because Kerri and Adam send my mom $50 each month to help cover pet stuff since we're watching her cats and guinea pigs for her while they're in Germany. But my mom wanted to know what the "wish us luck" part was for so she ( Read more... )

This is a poem that I've been writing the last few nights about Joe. Normally I don't post my poetry on the internet because it's so personal and also because I have this crazy thought that if I post it somebody else might take it and claim it as theirs and with the effort I put into my poems and how much they mean to me that would just really piss ( Read more... )

Lately I’ve been thinking about Joe. Not like "oh I miss him" but more like "why is it that he loves romance and relationships so much yet barely seemed phased when Becca, his so-called ideal girl, one he actually managed to have an EIGHT month relationship with, broke up with him?" He didn't mourn, didn't cry, didn't act depressed...just very ( Read more... )
