Kelli (Adrian's Mom) and I went to Michael's Craft Store at Corridor G and took a scrapbooking class on Friday evening. It was very interesting and we decided to start our own scrapbooks and have a project to work on together. After the class ended at around 8:30, we went to eat at O*Charleys and went to Walmart. We then went to Kelli's office that she works in to get some stuff and Adrian came over to help us load it, and then I went to Kroger with Adrian to get his schedule and he took me home. We got home at around 1:15.
Yesterday, Kelli and I went out to Michael's again and bought some different scrapbooking stuff and some stickers and went to eat at Arby's, as well as stopping by Staples. After that, we went to Walmart and bought a few things for scrapbooking and we got home at around 12:30.
This afternoon, Kelli picked me up at around 1 and we went out to Michael's for the third day in a row because they were having a "Make it, Take it" scrapbooking demo, so we made it and bought our scrapbooks and a few other things there. Then we went to Walmart where I bought some makeup and we bought some corner rounders for pictures. I got home at around 6:00 and ate dinner.
I want to see "Talladega Nights" so bad!!!
On a heavier note, some crazy things have been happening lately. I mean, first Whitney Reid was killed from the result of a tragic accident, and now Matt Matt and Josh. Inbetween, my friend Tessa's husband ODed and now Ms. Gattlieb's Mom passed away. She was such a sweet little lady. She loved Adrian so much. She even sent him money for graduation. She was 90 years old, but she was a fireball. She still drove and everything. The good old Volvo. I'm going to miss seeing it at Kroger on Tuesdays. I've been praying a lot lately and I just hope that their families can find solace in knowing that their loved ones are in a better place.
I've been thinking about my sister, Jennifer, a lot lately. I decided to do my scrapbook on her life. All of the vacations that we took, the holidays, the family gatherings, the memories. I sorted through pictures tonight and cried like no other. I see all of these other kids with their older brothers and sisters and how much they love eachother, and I just don't think it's fair that my sister was taken from me at such a young age. It's really a deep emotional issue with me and I just can't seem to move on. I love her so much! I was only 7 when she passed away at the young age of 15, but I still remember it like it was yesterday. She was my big sis and I looked up to her. I hope that I am able to make it through my scrapbooking project without falling to pieces. I think that it's important that I do this because I will have all of our memories in one book, arranged and available for others to see.
I really hate what Brooke is going through with losing her brother right now, but I know what she is feeling. They say that Only the good die young, and I believe that it is true. God takes everyone for a reason, and I guess that it was just his time to go. I am confident that he was truly a great person, although I did not know him personally. Please keep all of the above mentioned people, as well as their families and friends, in your thoughts and prayers through this difficult time.
I'm done ranting now and being an emotional wreck. I will post more later.
