I LOVE JEN MCD!
so in my last entry i got a little bit of a complaint....it seems i for got to mention in it that one of my fav people in the whole world, JEN MCDERMOTT, was also at the gayside with us and not only that but she danced her lil bootie off! haha there jen see i didn't forget u!
on a sadder note, yesterday was the funeral and although ted and i got there like 15 min late cuz we didn't know how long it would take and when it was almost 11 we got stuck in front of a cop so now speeding, it was still very emotional. i had never been to a lutheran church before and kept asking ted what we were supposed to do next. her uncle read the saddest poem about her and i had to fight back tears. this girl was so nice and so wonderful it just makes it that much harder to deal with. after the service i saw katie powers and she just looked so sad and i went to hug her and she thanked us for coming while i hugged her and i was cryin by then so i couldn't even answer. i don't know how she is handling this so well seeing as they were best friends since elementary school and it makes me think because i have known lauren since then and i don't know what i would do. i saw val but by then i think everyone already had cried so much that they didn't have tears left and i gave her a big hug and pete also.
I think this whole thing just made me realize how precious life is. you never know what's going to happen, it doesn't matter it your 5 min from home (like her) or far away. i just want to say to all of you reading this to be careful and that i love all of you and appreciate everything every single one of you has to offer. i think that's something that's not said enough and it really should be. Thank you all for being there for me to make me laugh, to give me a shoulder to cry on and to listen to me. Sorry on how emotional this was. well i think i'm done.
