Photo Tag

I've been tagged by Shana to post the 4th picture in my 4th picture folder. I have folders in folders in folders so I just kept going 4-4-4-4 until I got to a picture.


This is a picture of my mom and I from a trip we took to Panama City in summer 2006. My friend Danielle went with us. We had a great time. We went to a show that did knock off songs. It was like a cover band show, only they did lots of different acts. This was taken in the condo we were staying in.

One thing I remember about this trip was that I went to the grocery store and got what I thought would be plenty of groceries for the 3 of us for the 4 or so days we were there. Well, me mom obviously thought that wasn't enough. She went back out and came back with entirely too much! We had plenty to eat and snack on for the duration. When we had to leave, we ended up giving stuff we couldn't take (like ice cream, juice that was made) to the staff. So like my mom!! We love her!!

My brothers

My brothers are both beginning new and exciting chapters in their lives. I want to share this for all who don't know what their up to, and to ask you to keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Ben is my older brother. He is two years older than me. Over the past few years he has tried several times to get his career going. He has had job in advertising offices and formal dance studios, mainly. About 10 days ago he headed out for Quantico, VA for Office Candidate School for the Marine's. He is probably about a week into training right now. Last we heard (from his first letter) the weather was cold and he was fighting off a cold. Ben feels that he is where God wants him to be. He need strength to make it through the 10 weeks of training.

Joe is 18 months younger than me. I can't call him my "little" bro, because he is so tall! He moved to Little Rock, AR last week to take a sales position with Hewlitt Packard. The same day his buddies (who helped him take his stuff up and move in) left his car died. *This is the same brother who had a bad accident last year and rolled in the Blazer he saved so long for. He bought a junker clunker after that and this is the one that's now dead.* So he was up there with nobody, no groceries and now no car! But he made some contacts before he left of fellow college grad's that were moving to the same city for HP as well. So one girl took him to get groceries. Anyways- what a bummer way to start this new venture.

They are both strong and I have every confidence in them. I miss them already and it hasn't even been a few weeks. Please keep them in mind.

Fresh Goes Better!!!

Charles and Andrew have recently experimented with Mentos and coke to see how much fizz/ explosion they could make. So there are some left over Mento's around the house. I was trying to explain to Andrew how corny the old commercials were and how they popped a Mento and all was dandy. I had to show him on youtube so he'd get the full effect. You can't HELP but smile at these CORN-BALL ad's. (Some end with foreign talking, but the song is in English. Whatev.) I love how the person watching the Mento's eater always smiles at the end- like "Oh, you're not crazy, you've got Mentos!" Which one is your fav?
