Never Forgotten

12 years ago today I was a senior in high school.  I can still remember the day, Tuesday April 20, 1999.  It was cold and gloomy that day.  I remember freezing at track practice and I was so excited for it to be over so I could go to the tanning bed to warm up and then get my nails done.

I remember sitting there having my nails done and hearing on the radio about the Columbine shooting.  I spent the next 3 days glued to the TV because my neighbors Grandson, Matthew Kechter was killed that day.

So today my thoughts and prayers are with all of the victims and the families of the Columbine shooting, especially the Kechter family.  RIP Matthew Kechter, taken too soon, but will never be forgotten.

Never forgotten........

Dear Tuesday.......

Dear Tuesday....OK, I really couldn't think of anything more clever than that at the moment!  So life is crazy like normal lately!  Between kids and work and house work and the dog and yard work I don't do a whole lot!  Actually I take that back, I have started reading after the girls go to bed, it's my "quiet" time where I can disappear for an hour or two and I don't have to think about all the things I need to do or should be doing.

There are a few new things going on, I turned 30 2 weeks ago.  I didn't talk about it on here, but I had major anxiety about this birthday, I don't know why, but something about not being able to say I'm twenty-something bothered me, but I'm over it, the pity party is over and I survived!  My sister told me that 30 was the new 20 so I will listen to her!
I started going to Zumba 1 night a week and it's so much fun!  I think that my 10 years of dance lessons is finally paying off because I don't look like a complete idiot!

My amazing sisters and cousin bought me plane tickets to California for a weekend for a Sister/Cousin weekend, I can't wait!  We are going to have so much fun and I can really use a break from my sweet they are trying to kill me angels!

I went on a Hobby Lobby shopping spree!!!  I had $100 in gift certificates and today was 50% off of all metal and poly so I stocked up!  I will post pictures of my finds when I locate my camera that my children hid from me.

I have not crafted in months and I no longer feel guilty about it, the bug will bit me again soon enough.


Without my family and friends I would be lost right now, so a huge thank you to them for listening to me babble, listening to me vent and watching the girls for me every once in a while so I can breathe again!

My brother's girlfriend Ashley and I on her 21st birthday!  Isn't she gorgeous?!?!
My rules/reminders for the week.............

1.  Faith
2.  Patience
3.  Strength
4.  Laugh...it can always be worse
