My heart is still pounding with fear.

My mom and I were leaving the firework stand after a long day, and after John told us to. I noticed that John, Kansas, Heather, Samantha, and Sadie were all walking away when I was driving away. I said "Mom were are they going?" She responded " I didn't know." I was turning onto 2105 when I saw some some hands waving in the air, I quickly said "Mom there is a wreck we need to go help them!" So I got onto Bryant and went to the scene of the accident. There were two girls running up to my car screaming "She is dead, help us, she is dead" I quickly got out of my car with my mom and the two girls were squeezing me and the driver of the red pickup was hyperventilating, my mom told me to go get John A.S.A.P and so I got back into my car and went back to get John, he was not there, he was already at the scene. So knowing people these days and how they love to get their hands on stuff when nobody is around I went to the firework stand right behind us to get someone to watch our stand. Then I quickly got back over to my mom, where she was calming the girls down (there were two of them in the truck). Then you could hear a girl screaming and crying from the other car that was involved in the accident and she was standing behind the car, and John was talking to her and everything and they got the driver out of the car (the ambulance people did) and then they made the other girl lay down in the passenger side seat in the car because she was complaining that her head and back were hurting. When I looked back over to the car I saw them getting the driver onto a stretcher and she had no pulse or movement, then they laid the hand of the girl on her stomach because it was hanging off the stretcher and you could just pick it up and drop it without any reactions, a bit later I saw them doing CPR on the girl in the ambulance and that just scared me to death. Then another ambulance came and took the other girl in the car away. We (my mom, John, Kansas, Heather, Samantha, Sadie and I) stayed until they told us it was ok to leave. Mom and I went to just check and see if the two girls in the truck were ok and we talked with the driver for a little bit and prayed with her, then we took John, Saide, and Kansas back to the firework stand and came home.

The way the wreck occurred was the blue car didn't stop at the stop sign on 2105 and then the truck was coming and hit the car on the drivers side, causing the car to spin and end up in the ditch. Then the paramedic told us that the driver of the car may not make it.

I really don't feel like being in a car or driving for a while right now, just because I don't want something like that to happen to me.

This is funny

I found this on the web today and thought it was pretty funny!!

It feels GOOD to be home

As some of you know, I haven't been home much at all for the past 2 weeks. I went to Mexico June 11-15 and then got home Friday night around 9:00 PM and then stayed home Saturday and left again Sunday to my brothers house and just got home today June 23rd. It will feel so good to be able to sleep in my bed, with my pillow and my blankets, man do I miss it!

And wait just a min - there is a draw back... no more getting up around 3-4 AM to put milk in a cup and warm it up for 30 seconds, and get baby D-J back to sleep - I'm not so excited about that though, I will truly miss that. And I'll miss sneaking my nephew into bed with me to sleep for a few hours before he wakes up, and miss his smiling face in the morning around 7am, then putting Sesame Street in and listing to Elmo sing "Hip Hip Hurray, Its the furry monster parade" and I will truly miss how he would always say "Cup" and smile with his few teeth he has then hug me when I took him out of his crib. I will also miss putting on his baby rock records at night for him before I went to bed. I found the easiest way to put him to sleep and that was to give him my pillow and blanket. No fussing, No fighting, No nothing, just sleep... and along nap at that!! oh and did I mention the Train? Yeah I'll miss that to! Yeah Right! It would go by like 2-3 times at night and like 5-6 during the day! And get this it was right across the road from the house to! It twas crazy!

Anyways enough about what I'll miss here are some pictures of him that I took. There will soon be more, as soon as I can get them to look cute. Oh and as soon as I get more time I will soon have a post of the hottest thing ever!

Mexico

Mexico was really fun!! Although I did get sick! Wednesday I got a really bad headache and Thursday I was throwing up and Friday I got another headache. I have a few stories to tell you!!!

Tuesday - We got there around 6ish the church had already started and so Kansas Torey September and I went walking around to give invitations to the kids on the street the church was on to invite them to church... Poor Kansas was getting hit on by like a million guys!! But on the way back these little kids let me ride their horse and I was excited because I LOVE horses!! But this horse would not move!!! I kicked it like everyone does to get it to go and it would not move so they told me to hit it on the butt so I did and it would not move, then I tried the rains and went Getty up and it wouldn’t move!! Finally this little boy was pulling it by the rains and it moved!! Then we were almost to the church when Kansas and I both got on the horse she was on the satle and I was on the butt! And that poor horse the kid was wiping it to go :-( but at least I got to ride, it was very fun!!

Wednesday - We went to a school down the road and played with the kids there and there was a little boy in a wheel chair and since he didn’t get to play anything I would make him a balloons animal and give him candy and then they were giving away stuffed animals and he didn’t get one so I got him one and gave it to him, it brought a smile to his face!! After we left the school we went to a near by park and played, I played on the swings and then Scott and I got on the titter totters then John Geoff Casey Kansas and I played four square then my head started really hurting so I stopped playing. After leaving the park we went back to the church were I laved down and took a short nap to get rid of my head ache and then John and Scott went to pick up kids. There wasn’t a real big crowd but it was a really good servis, I was in charge of games!! We played the toilet paper game and the donut dare game. The little boy who won actually cheated September told me that he had put two donuts in each pocket and only ate two donuts.


Thursday - the reason I was throwing up was because Scott and I were pushing some little children on the merry go round and then we got on because they wanted to push us and then they would not let us off, they were cussing at us and surrounding us and when I tried to tell them to ALTO! they wouldn’t... they just kept saying faster in Spanish I don’t know how to spell it... and then I was getting sick and I had to grab onto Scotts leg because I was falling off and getting sick at the same time, (I never knew how fast a stupid little merry go round could go!!!) then finally I had a chance to stick my leg out to try and stop the merry go round and when I did I accidentally kicked some little boy... :-( then finally I got off after being on there for a good 15 mins and I sat on the side walk and Geoff told me to go get in the bus because he saw what happened and I just laved there in the seat feeling really sick at my stomach and then everyone loaded up and we went to a store to buy some stuff and to cool off but according to Casey I looked half dead so I stayed in the buss with some other people... then after the VERY bumpy ride there I was crawling out of the bus and right after I got to the last step I threw up. It was nasty, and then I was still feeling sick so I went to the little curb w/ grass in it and got sick some more... and some guy stepped in it!! It was so nasty!! And poor John he stepped in the throw up right outside the door of the bus but luckily it wasn’t that much...

That same day at the park we were at the bus was being attacked by little kids trying to get clothes and stuff and they were cussing at it was getting bad!! Then finally September and Casey and Kansas got them to go to some building and they had to get behind a door to protect themselves and so when they did September was being pulled back by some kids holding on to Casey. Just say it wasn’t a pretty day at that park!!! IT was really weird to because there would only be like 5-10 kids and all of a sudden it was like a swarm of bees with all the kids running towards us!!! Let’s just say we didn’t stay there long!!!

Friday – I really wanted to stay another day because I really enjoyed being in Mexico and seeing how different it is then the America, but we were able to go shopping with three girls we became friends with. Kansas Tamara and Ashley taught Eugene how to say stuff like “Yo Mamma” but she would say “Jo Mamma” but she finally got it down, she also learned how to say “What’s up hoe” and “Do it you wont” It was really funny, and then on the way to Martha’s house Ashley Kansas Tamara and I were in Eugene car with her mom and we got her mom to say “What’s up hoe and Yo mamma” It was great!!! But it was hard to say good-buy to our new friends!

THINGS I LEARNED!

Well I always thought some of the roads here were bad, I will NEVER complain about them again, because the roads in Mexico were HORRIBLE. Oh my goodness they were horrible!!!!
I also learned that the things I have, my home my family my friends my church etc… are really special to me because down in Mexico the houses there are not carpeted no air conditioners, they really can’t just go to the movies or go shopping whenever they want because they don’t have money like we do. They practically fought for the clothes we gave them; they didn’t have things like we do here in America. It really opened my eyes to see that what I have, rather then what they do. Some of the houses there were made out of cardboard. I’m completely serious! I really wish they I could give them everything that we have here. Hopefully the seed we planted at the church will grow and prosper, after planting it and praying over it I hope to see great things happen at that church…

THINGS I WILL MISS

There was a little skinny doggie down at the church we were at and at first he was really mean I mean you couldn’t even get close to it without it growling at you!! But it was skin and bones and so I fed it cheetoes gummy worms and pop tarts. And the little doggie because really nice!! I told John I wanted to take it home!! But he said no, which I understand why because who knows what kind of problems that dog has. Although I know that I have pictures and video’s of him so I will remember it forever!!
I will also miss some of the children down there, there was a little girl who kept looking at me and trying to talk to me but I couldn’t understand some of the stuff she said to me L I took a couple of pictures of her and the last time we took the kids back off to their drop off place (Thursday night) she gave me a hug and a high five and I saw her keep trying to look at me outside of the bus, just say we became friends. And then there were two girls on Wednesday night when we were dropping them off that tried so hard to ask for a picture with me and then I finally figured out what they were trying to say!!
I will really miss seeing the kids just because they were really nice and it was really cool seeing how much of an impact we made on their lives just by giving them some toys and clothes!! And of course some Jesus!!!

THE IT!
We had to stop by Walmart on the way to our house we were staying at, to try and find a part to a sealing fan for John but we didn't find it. Insted we found an IT!!! (Ashley and Kansas did) Once they showed us we just had to get a picture, it was so weird, IT was a guy with a sex change. So we tried our best to get the picture and we got kinda a good one of its back side!!!


pictures will be posted soon!
