i found out what those pics meant......

this lady from colorado got a letter from her husband that was in the marines over in iraq- she was expecting a phone call from him soon- but instead she got a knock at the door- the knock every military family dreads...... her husband had been killed..... this pic is of the casket being brought out of the plane to go into the hurst.....

and this next one is of the wife laying down one last time with her husband- she took some things to put in the casket- an ultrsound of their baby- which still hasnt been born yet- his favorite purfume (sp) of hers- a bouquet of flowers- and some other things- it was really sad...... and she had the marines protect the body- she slept there all night--

so..... i just thought that i would let yall know what those pics meant- heres a couple of links- ones the full story of this- thats this one- http://denver.rockymountainnews.com/news/finalSalute/

well.....last night was our first scrimmage and WE WON!!!! it was very cool..... poor valerie got hit in the head- then the very next pitch- she slipped in the mud and fell on her butt...... she started laughing- but was still crying- it looked like it hurt real bad- i dunno wat the final score was- but we beat them by 2..... and the score was in the mid-teens- but neways..... have an AWESOME Easter... He died for You......

Jesus Paid it all

All to Him I owe.....

Sin had left a crimson stain,

He washed it white as snow.....

OH PRAISE THE ONE

WHO PAID MY DEBT

AND RAISED THIS LIFE

UP FROM THE DEAD!!!!!!!!

i love love love this song!!!!!!

Easter is not about the candy, or the bunnies, or anything else that we stupid humans came up with to replace the true meaning of another JESUS day..... our society has ruined every Jesus holiday with some type of worldly things..... but it is us Christians that know the TRUE meaning of Easter that can change the way people around us see it........

i love you all......<333

oh and i also found out this past monday that I CAN STILL PLAY SOFTBALL!!!!!! HALELUJAH!!!!!!!

last night wasnt the greatest.... i was home alone when it started to hail.... that was the most terrifying thing in the world that i have been through in a long time..... and thunderstorms dont really scare me- but this wasnt just a thunderstorm as i was expecting it to be- it was what they said it was- tornadoes and hail and everything that goes with that- i was in my bathroom cuz its in the middle of the house.... (btw- i was at my dads) and then it started hailing- it wouldnt stop and i started crying cuz it was getting louder and wouldnt stop and kept going- i was like  "Lord- just let me LIVE" i was terrified cuz i WAS by myself- and then i was on the phone with my dad and he was driving into it- so i couldnt really hear him- then all of a sudden...... "CRASH!!!!!" i heard a window break- i was in the bathroom with the door shut and screamin as it was and that window just made me go bazerk!!! i then got out of the bathroom to go and see where the broken window was- it was the kitchen window- glass was all over the window sill  and in the sink..... man o man!!!!!!! it was horrifying!!!! then when my dad got home- we looked outside on the driveway side of the house- that was where the storm hit us at- and the siding of the house had been pelted with hail- holes everywhere- so i took pictures-- here they are.....

the siding

the glass on the window sill in the kitchen

side view- looks like somebody shot the house!!! haha....

only golf ball size hail did this!!!! it hit in 2 places.....in the bottom corner and then obviously the big hole!!!!!

well, my spring break is almost over now..... it really sucks.... my dad didnt wake up till 2 this afternoon, so i didnt get to do much- its still only 4- but we were going to go lawn mower shopping- but- we found one in the paper instead- so i guess im just going to sit here all day and redecorate clean and be on the computer- oh well- its ok- i like being lazy-

i did get to do what i wanted for spring break though- NOTHING!!! and thats excatly what i got- nothing- except the zoo- that was fun..... monkeys are awesome......

pray for the team in mexico- that some really amazing things happen and they get to experience something new and out of their comfort zones......
