It's been a while...
As most of you probably know by now, Eric's father passed away this past Sunday morning at 1:00 am.
Eric called me at about midnight Saturday night to tell me that they didn't think his dad would make it through the night so I got dressed and headed over to his parents house in Clinton.
As soon as I got there Eric went to check on his dad and he had passed away...

He had been battling with cancer for about a year, and it finally won out.
The most important thing is the fact that he was a believer, so we all know where he is and that he is truly blessed right now and just waiting for the rest of us to get there to see how great it really is..

I  want to thank everyone who was able to make it to the visitation and/or funeral. I also want to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers as I know it meant a lot to Eric and his mom. They seem to be doing ok, just taking it one day at a time.

For those of you who do not know I had thought about going to physical therapy school, but instead I am now working for a chiropractor in Madison. It's such an awesome place to work....
This is the first "job" I've had in my life that I actually got on my own, and did not get it through someone I knew or had a connection with.
I get to see miracles happen on a daily basis, miracles that I didn't even know still existed...

Some examples for you:
A mother of a child with cerebral palsy smiles because she knows that both she and her child are loved by God
A pregnant woman comes in with her two daughters, this is the same woman that could not get pregnant before
A woman with diabetes gets her blood sugar under control
A man with grand mal seizures gets to go back to work because he no longer has them
A woman no longer has migraines every time she looks up

This is just the beginning...

Well I certainly hope that you all had a wonderful 2007!
As 2007 ends and 2008 begins here are a few things that I am grateful for:

The health of my family, friends, and loved ones
Having such a wonderful husband
Being truly blessed with awesome friends
Being able to see Amanda for Christmas, I cannot wait until you come back for good!
Being blessed with a wonderful home and job

I can't wait to see what this year has in store for all of us...

So what did YOU do for New Year's?

Eric and I went out to eat at Chick-fil-A, got ice cream from Bop's, and then got fireworks.
We had so much fun shooting fireworks, but our poor dog is TERRIFIED of them and she simply would have nothing to do with them. She hid out until they were all over...

Tomorrow (well today now) we both have the day off so I think we may go shopping and to a movie..

How is everyone doing these days?
I'm doing well..
Eric and I went to Houston this past week.  His work sends him there for classes every now and then. For those of you who do not know, he's a mechanic for Toyota.
His work pays for the hotel, rental car, gas, and food. It was alot of fun, except for all the dang traffic!

We also went to see Transformers Friday night, and it was awesome!
If you have not seen it yet, you must. It is so worth it.

I miss everyone! I need another bowling night, another trip to Cocoa Beach, another wild night in the dorm room shooting really crazy/weird videos, birthday parties at O'Charleys and Chuck-e-Cheese, looking for eachother by breaking our necks to see over the cafeteria walls, late night talks that end on random sentences, ST happenings, making photo boards, working out together at the Healthplex, watching Gilmore Girls, House, 7th Heaven, and Smallville in the dorm when we should be studying...

Wow I'm sad now
