Senseless

I hate to start on a bad note but i feel this is of more importance then the rest of my entry…

I was watching the news this morning and i saw something about a shooting in a neighborhood i used to live in, they said two men were shot but they weren’t releasing names yet… i didn’t think it would be someone i know let alone my nieces uncles.

My sister’s ex husbands brother Jim was supposed to get married May 1st, his bachelor party was last night. My sisters ex was not there because he had the kids over for the weekend. Well, while the party was going on his brother Josh and his brother Jim had an argument with these two guys… The two guys got kicked out of the bar and Josh and Jim waited 10 mins to leave figuring the guys would of left.. They didn’t. They waited for Jim and Josh to come out of the bar and then the one pulled out a gun and put it up to Josh’s head. Jim trying to save his brothers life knocked the gun out of the guy’s hand, the other guy pulled out a gun and shot them both in the chest. Jim lost his life and Josh is in the hospital right now. Josh is going to make it thank god, but his brother lost his life and it is just so senseless. He has 4 children who now have no daddy, his fiance now has to cancel their wedding and live without the man she loves all because of a stupid argument!! A father was lost, a husband was lost, a uncle was lost, a brother was lost, and a son was lost.. for what?? You don’t kill someone over an altercation! When your told to leave, do the mature thing and leave!! It just makes me sick to even write about it because he lost his life when all they had to do was leave and let it go. It’s just so sad :-(

On a happier note, Hubby and I went to a wedding yesterday. I got all prettied up, looked cute as ever but man did i get drunk!! I never drink, so when i do i get toasted! I had two fuzzy navels, a very strong blackberry margarita and almost a whole bottle of White Merlot. I couldn’t even stand up straight let alone try to navigate my way through the house. I ran into things left and right. I was so silly and giggly, i had my mother in law and husband dying of laughter. I don’t really remember everything but what i do remember OMG. It was good to let loose for a change! I sure did pay for it today though, i woke up feeling so sick and still dizzy… it was worth it though, I had fun :-D I should probably mention the wedding lol It was beautiful and i almost cried, I am such a softy when it comes to things like that :D The reception was very nice to, although it took them forever to show up because of pictures. I have another one to go to in June and then another one I’m shooting in October. This, I guess is the year for marriage :grin:

I am soooo tired from last night so I’m getting off of here.. before i go though i should mention my new laptop :) My mother in law knows someone who fixes up computers and sells them, well she knew ours was like ancient so when he offered her one for free she gave it to us. It’s sooo much quicker and so much easier for me to use. I’ve been able to do the things i do on the internet so much faster and it eliminates me being in pain from being on the internet for so long. My old one had like no space and no ram, it was slow and took me forever just to post a photo and process photos. By the time i was done posting a photo and processing a few photos it took me like 2 hours and i started to hurt, i couldn’t stay on any longer to post here, update my photography site, check on my accounts NOTHING. Having one that is quick gives me the ability to be able to do all the things i need to do online in a short time. I am so thankful and so happy to be able to do the things i couldn’t with my old slow computer :D

Sweet Spring

I really can’t be sure what tree this is because we have so many in our back yard but I’m thinking it’s the blooming peach tree. My brother got it for my momma one year for Mother’s day. I know there’s a peach,apple and pear tree back there so who knows, it sure is beautiful though :) It’s always been a favorite of mine.

Yesterday we spent the day out, we were all over the place. First we went and got lunch, then we ended up about an hour away at my favorite little town to take photos and walk around the park, then we drove around for about another hour looking for our little fruit place. Eventually we found the fruit place and we bought the best tasting pears i have ever had! Omg they are so delicious! We got some flavored honey straws, sweet grapefruit, apples, plums, pears, oranges and honey dew. It was cute, the lady at the fruit place ( i have to figure out the name lol) she asked me what grade i was in! I was like so shocked, because hello I’m 26 years old! When i told her my age and that i was married she was like “OMG you look soooooo young” I told her it was okay because when I’m 50 I’ll still look 30 ;).

After we came home we decided we wanted to go back out so we went and seen The Book Of Eli at the dollar show. It was such a good movie. I would recommenced it to anyone who thought about seeing it. I thought it was “just another the world is ending movie” but it had more to it. The plot i thought was fantastic I won’t give anything away…. So anyway, as you can see it was a pretty eventful day, but very fun and a really nice way for me and Jas to spend time together.

Today on the other hand i was so tired. I woke up late and I’ve been lazy since. It’s so hot today and when it’s hot i get sleepy. Well i gtg Jas and I are supposed to watch “The Box”.

With Love,

The Girls

It’s been a long two days.. well fun but long. I had my nieces over to play with Barbie and they wore me out! I seriously don’t know where they get all their energy, but if i could bottle it up and sale it i would be filthy rich lol

First we had them running around the back yard playing (boo was present also) then we took them to the park to run and play in the crick, then we took them all to Mcdonalds to play in the play room. By 9pm i was like ready to just crawl in bed and sleep forever! It was crazy having three children here at once but.. It was so much fun too!

The girls left this morning :-( Today they weren’t nearly as hyper so i actually wanted them to stay even longer. I miss them already and so does Barbie.. I can just tell. We did however do something fun, we made a cake with two layers. The bottom layer is square and the top is a bunny i cut out all topped with pink icing, sprinkles, the drawing icing and jelly beans for the eyes. It’s adorable :grin: Tonight we’re doing the egg dying.

Well i got to go get ready to leave, we still need our turkey lol Talk about last minute.

Hoppy Easter!!
