Why Does This Happen?

As everyone in Weiser knows, and many of you who who don't live in Weiser know, an amazing person, good friend, and someone I went all the way through school with, Joe Dickerson, was killed early Sunday morning.

I have gone through many deaths in my life. While in high school, our school went through two sudden deaths within 2 weeks of each other. Jenna Zeller and Kylene Vickers. Jenna was 2 grades below me, but I had grown up with her and known her very well. Kylene was in my grade and we had been friends since we were very young. I didn't think that this could happen again. Joe was in the same class as Jenna. The class of 2008 has gone through so much the past few years and I am truly sorry and praying for you. I am also praying for the Dickerson family and close friends of the family.

The are no words to express the feelings of losing such an amazing person.

Growing up with Joe, there were many memories with him, but last night my mom reminded me of one and I couldn't stop laughing for about an hour.

When we were younger, Joe and I were at a picnic and he wouldn't leave me alone. He kept following me everywhere. And I just couldn't get him to stop. He was everywhere I was. (I was about 6 or 7 at the time). Finally, I hid under the table by my moms legs. My mom looked down at me and asked what was going on and I told her that "Joe WOULD NOT STOP FOLLOWING ME AROUND! And I was hiding from him!!"

Many memories flood your mind after you lose someone.

I'm not sure how to end this, except....

I'm praying for all of you.

The Job Search Goes On....

I found a job. I'm working at Idaho Pizza Company. I have been there for about a week now and I'm really liking it. I'm only working there part-time. And I work evenings and weekends. I'm still looking for a different job. One that is full-time, 9-5, weekdays, and that has benefits. Hopefully I will find something before the wedding.

Lyndon has 3 weeks left of school. He is twitching. He wants to be done. He was just informed that the firefighting test he was going to take in June has been cancelled. He is pretty bummed about that, but is finding other ways to get into a fire station.

Last night, Lyndons grandpa passed away. His family is driving to Wisconsin right now. It is a 25 hour drive and they are trying to make it there as soon as possible. Lyndon is going to be doing the service. I wish I could be there to see it.

3 1/2 months until the wedding. Things are coming together wonderfully.

More updates later.

Pictures I Took Of Hannah

Hannah went out with me this evening and let me take some pictures of her. These are the ones we got. She is so cute!

Back To School

Spring Break is OVER.... So sad. Lyndon is back to school for the last half of his last semester EVER! Can you believe it? He is going to be graduating in May. The sad part is, I won't be able to see him graduate. My dancers have a dress rehearsal that night and I need to be there for them. Kind of a bummer, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

It looks like I will be going to school for a few more semesters. I have 4 more classes that I have to finish and they are only offered one a semester. This semester I am taking International Business. My semester ends in June. And we will see if I will be able to go back in September.

Back to the books for the both of us. Oh Joy! :)
