Just to let you all know

I finally got my revenge on this crazy crazy guy...... I BEAT HIM IN A LEG WRESTLE!


"I am the champion my friends!"



Thank you have a nice day.

More pictures!

So, here are some more wonderful pictures of the wedding. Cause they are pretty!

September 11 Five years ago

Five years ago, was a day in history that we will never forget. Terrorists attacked the US. Trying to bring them down. Instead the world saw the United states growing Closer together. Proving to be a strong nation. One nation over God. One thing that sticks out in my mind, is when President Bush quoted the 23 psalm. Reminding the country that it was in God that they should trust.

Many people lost their lives that day, tragedy struck household after household. Families lost loved ones, parents lost children. A day they will never forget for many different reasons.

One live that was lost was Victor Paz- Gutierrez. He was in the world trade tower the day it fell down. He was a 43 year old pastry chef, working in Windows on the world in the trade tower. He will never be forgotten, and is survived by those whom loved him.

I pray for his family today. May they have peace, and may they take comfort in the Lord. May their memories of him be fond ones, and may they always remember the life he lived.

Rest in peace Mr. Gutierrez.

My Big Brother Got Married

( I "borrowed" this picture from Emily, Thank you!)


















Well, my big brother got married. I figured that I should write about it, just because I want to. First I have to say, Laura made her dress. I KNOW she looks AMAZING! Well, the day went by well. Rehearsal was entertaining. I was not singing well. But I thought it was nerves. (it was Tonsilities though!) Anyway but everything was going smooth, and the church looked beautiful.

The wedding eve, Henry and I drove back from Neerlandia by ourselves. It was an increadably special time that I will never forget. I think the memory of that night will forever stick in my head and my heart.

The day brought nerves, but Henry was pretty calm in the morning. (before breakfast) And then I did not see him till he was dressed at the church. On the way there, mom and I had some quality time together which was nice. We practised singing and just were able to be together. The wedding was beautiful. I almost cried when Henry looked at me before Laura walked down the isle. He just looked so happy and ready to get married. So excited. And then I almost cried when I saw her. Waves of "Oh wow! she looks beautiful, and I am going to have a sister soon." hit my head. So then I cried when they said their vows. Only because it was so beautiful and I could once again see the love that my brother has for Laura and the love she has for him.

I then had to go up and sing. After hearing myself on tape I believe I did an okay job. I sure choked out the first verse though. (Yep I was crying) But it went well. Henry and Laura were married.

The reception was fun. My father and i did a wonderful skit about computers and had everyone laughing. Ashley and I took the "hole in the bucket" song and changed it to "theres a bug in my softwear" That was fun. And then I said a little something. NOw that was hard. I dont know how many have actually gone out and said something at a brother or sisters wedding. (or even someone you are close too) But its hard. It was good. Once again by the end of it there were tears (but not just from me!)

Family pictures was fun. I think at that time I was starting to feel the fact that I was sick. (without telling anyone... thats what happens when you dont want to get sick, you go in denial!) And also just emotional. But it was good.

Then when Henry and Laura came to say goodbye, once again I just saw the love in their eyes. And I know that this is not a love that can be created by man alone. But by GOD. I thank God for the fact that Laura and Henry are so in love, and I pray that they will always grow more and more in Christ and that their love stays the same always!

Capstone

AHHH!!! Okay so Capstone permission slip signed. Now all I need is to find songs that fit my theme that is going to take 45-60 minutes. Rent the church, find people to sing with me, sing for me. Pick their songs. Find someone who will play piano. (I know of someone I just have to ask him!) Figure out everything else. See if there are going to be other instruments. (Like flute, cello, guitar!) you know. Pick an MC. (I have someone in mind!) Pick the date. (sometime in March!) Learn songs. Sing songs. Right an amazing write up, get people to come! Get good mark!! AHHHHHHH!!!!! (I can not believe I am graduating!) Oh so here is where I ask.... any of you want to help with a capstone? Say yes please say yes! Alyson wants YOU!

Alison and Alyson

If Henry Married Laura, and Laura's Brother is Steve, does that make Alison and I sisters?
I think Half!

Sweet. (sarcastic)

So Henry and Laura's wedding went well, but I had a sore throat before it. I ignored it until after the wedding. And today I looked in my mouth at my throat, and thought I should show my mom. So... I did, and guess what! I am starting school off with tonsilities!! AGAIN!! But with care and tenderness, I will be able to start school on Tuesday/ Wednesday. But what a way to start. That is why it is so Sweet! (cough cough!) More wedding stories later, i am going to go and gargle with salt water. YES! (rolling my eyes!)
