The visit

Hey all

So here is another update about my little friend. Krista has gone home! Yippy! It is quite good. She is on the road to recovery and this is very good. She was really excited about seeing her brothers and dad again. I am just sad that she is gone and is much further to visit now. But I am so glad that I got to see her for just a short visit.

Krista has been on my mind lots. She is quite important to me. So please keep her family and her in your prayers. Thanks! If you are still reading all these posts about her, you are a true friend! Thanks!

Read the last post first then this one...

Ironic... From that last post till the end of the day is very ironic. But we gotta keep praising God through out the bad times as well. For example, no one was really injured in the accident. So praise God for that. It is also funny that on Focus they had a video that talked about crying out to God. You know, I thought of that and did cry out to God when I was all alone in my car not knowing what to do. Mrs. Taylor said that God was looking out for me and protected me which is so true. Also, check Krista's site. She needs lots of prayer still. She has got a fever and isn't feeling to great. Please keep her in your prayers.

One of the Best!

Well today was one of the best days I have had. Seriously. Today was so wonderful. In the morning I went and washed the car. How I love doing that. Then when I got home, I got to find out that I could go visit my mini-me (krista)!!! I was pretty excited about that. But before I went to visit her, I went and got lunch with my good ol' couz steph and listened to Krista on the radio which was so awesome. I then went exersizing with a good pal (kara). It was a good work out. Some funny memories of that. I enjoy it. Then I had to race home and get ready to go to the hospital to visit Krista. I was meeting up with a friend from my childhood (Elizabeth) to go visit. We got to spend a nice time with Krista, her mom and sister. It was really really nice. I wouldn't trade that time for anything. I love them soo much. I was so happy to see Krista smiling and see the magical twinkle in her eye. It was wonderful. Though I am quite tired now, I still got a great evening ahead with attending a suprise birthday party for another great friend!! So today was wonderful. God is good. The people in my life are one of the most important things to me. So today was good. I hope all of you can have a great day as well!! Loves!

Update on my "Mini-Me"

Hey all.
Some of you have asked about my "mini-me". I have also been wondering how she was doing until this morning. We got a call from a girl my sister knows who is working at the hospital where Krista is. The girl had seen Krista's mom and told her to call us and tell us Krista's web page. So for those who are interested, go to www.caringbridge.org. Then from there click Vist a CaringBridge Site. Where it says site name, type Krista and her page will pop up. Please pray for her and her family. This is a huge operation for her and she will need lots of prayers in this time.

Have a good weekend!

Fuzzy Headed

Fuzzy headed is what I am experiencing right now. It is from the busy weekend that I just had I know it but I loved it. Getting up at 3:30am doesn't do wonders for the brain.

Family and friends. Two things that were plenty this weekend. It was great. Sometimes when things just seem unsure in your life, times like what I just had are so wonderful. Lots of hugs were exchanged this weekend and I loved it. I love hugs and love it when it is actually a good hug. My uncle jim is wonderful for that. He truely loves us and he gives you a great big hug. It is wondeful. We should give more hugs. Maybe people would feel more loved in the world if we actually showed how we felt instead of being a brick wall.

Cute kids were also plenty this weekend. Whoopie Cushions were the theme for the kids and they were quite hilarious. Very funny stories.

Long drives. Some times it sucked but it is a good time to just sit and sit some more. It is a good time to reflect. The drives aren't always fun when you become sick but this was not that bad.

Am I glad to be home? I am unsure. I want to be away still and think some more. I did miss my own bed though. But I rather be away still. Last week wasn't the greatest week for me so it was especially nice to get away. It just wasn't long enough.

Fuzzy headed is the feeling. So if this didn't make too much sence, sorry!


Laundry is calling my name.

My "mini - me"...

I was thinking about how blessed I have been. I have grown up in a loving family and had no major problems growing up at all. I have only had to make one big trip to the hospital for myself when I fell on my face and had to get hooked up to an IV every 6 hours. But I healed and was alright. Things have been pretty great through out my life. I don't thank God enough for all the blessings He has given me.

Many years ago, I would hang out with a family all the time that lived just five doors down. It was so much fun. We even would pop by when they had company. Little did I know, one of the families they had over those many years ago, would make such an impact on me this year.

At camp, I reunited with this family once again that I had met from a long time ago. My very own "Mini-Me" was there. She wanted her hair done like mine and she always wanted to sit with me during chapel. It was pretty fun. I rememeber being a little girl like that wanting to be just like the older girl.

Yesterday, I heard news on my "mini-me" which now brings me to tears. She is having major heart surgery next week. She is so small and so young. I just don't understand. I feel almost guilty for living a life with pretty much no problems. She is so young and has so much life before her. I don't know how to describe how I feel about this. All I know is it makes me cry.

There are so many things I don't understand. I know that God uses everything for His glory. But why do we have emotions tied to it? I guess I just want to do something but don't know. Erk! I want to get away.

What's next in the life of the Red Haired Girl?

I really couldn't tell you. Lately I have been feeling very weird. I don't know how to define this weird. It is just weird! I feel unsettled. I am very unsure about why I feel this way. For now, I just feel weird. I don't know if it is a good thing or bad thing. My mom had once said to just get though this year because there will be lots of changes in it. I am wondering if I am feeling this way because of the changes that are occuring in my life and about the changes that are going to be occuring. It is just very confusing. I am not going to go into much more now but just felt that I just needed to get that out. It feels a bit better to do that. So then if I am acting weird, it's either because I am feeling weird or that I am just weird. Either one works I guess! So what is next in my life remains a mystery for me but I would like to have some plans. It is hard just letting God run my life when I want to do it so bad. Erk!
On another note, I love pictures. If you couldn't tell, I love taking and looking at pictures. I find them very valuble and it helps my fading memory to remember all the awesome times that God has blessed me with. This morning I had some time on my hands and decided to look through some of my little kiddy photo books that my mom upkeeped for a while till I got a camera of my own. If you are ever bored and looking for something to do, I could either show you pictures or go with you and take pictures in cool places. So if anyone is needing something to do, call me up. Here are some pictures from my past. They are apart of my favourites. The first one is because my mom used to dress me up like Anne of Green Gabels and take pictures of me. I loved it. She was my role model when I was young. The second picture is awesome because it was with one of my good boy friends growing up. The other one refused to be in the picture with us. It reminds me of all of the fun growing up. Truely precious memories. Well I hope you enjoy them. I sure do. I like pictures that show the past because the past is all about how you came to be who you are now and there is so much that no one knows about you unless you share it. So enjoy my tiny contribution in sharing. Have a wonderful rest of the week! Loves.
