Well, lets see. Friday was the last day at school. It was a nice easy day. Then I went home with my mom so I could pick up my stuff for camp. Then get dressed for my first day at work. Then, got food at Carl's Jr. Then, went to the church. Me and Kaitlyn were haning out before we left. Then on the way up with rode in the car with Crazy Nathan Cornett. But it was fun. We laughed and talked the whole time, while all the stupid boys in the car didn't talk to us and were completely silent. Well anywho. Camp was fun. It was cold.. Highlights are..
1.) Really good speakers, and super awesome worship.
2.) Dropped my shirt in the toilet while I was changing to go to the bathroom.
3.) In two separate games of dodgeball, me and Kaitlyn were the last girls, however I was against 8 BOYS... jeez.
4.) Yummy food, and nice warm HOT chocolate in Julian.
5.) We got to come home and take showers.
Yeah, so other than that, that was all of camp.
Then I came home, my mom and her friend Sheryl picked me up. Then we got home and she sat me down to give me some bad news. My dad works with this guy Rob. He's a super nice guy. He was having some financial troubles so my dad helped him out. Then they started a business together, so we see him all the time. Well, he would always tell me that him and his wife both moved out to California to be actors. Then they worked at a Starbucks together, dated, and then got married. CUUTTTE!! So a few times I babysat his kids. They are super cute. I love them to death. But I still never met his wife. She would call and we always said how we needed to meet, cuz we heard so much about each other. Well, this weekend while I was at camp, Rob's wife, Sheila died in her sleep. OMG.. why? what? HOW? I was soo shocked when my mom told me.. and all I could do was cry. How sad, this poor, sweet man that is totally in love with his wife looses her unexpectedly to a brain anerism. Now he is all alone with his three kids, no money, because his wife had to work all the time, to pay for everything they owned, while he got back on his feet. I feel soo bad.
And while I was at work, I kept seeing all these dads with their kids picking out cards for their mom. :( And now he can't do that. It makes me soo sad. I don't understand why God made this into his plan? I'm not angry with him, but I don't undertstand, how could he make this happen. A week before Christmas, an 8, 6, and 4 year old loose their mother. Why is this? It's so hard for me to understand! I just don't get it. There should be no reason for Dylin to not speak to anyone, ( their oldest)! Or for Natalie, their 6 year old, to not eat and throw up becuase she misses her mommy. Friday night my dad spoke with Shiela and she was so excited to see the work that my dad and Rob were doing! My dad gave her a hug.. and now he can never do that again. I'm soo sad and it just puts things into perspective! Nothing is as important as your family!
So my message to you is that you spend this Christmas with your family. Don't worry about anything else! I hope that you all have a GREAT and SAFE holiday! I love you all soo much and I hope to hear from you soon! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Love Always
