Please visit a site my sister law composed after my brother died.  It will let you see some of the light he had in his life.

Today is a sad day.  A day that five years ago brought a endless pain into my heart...a pain more painful than anything I thought possible.  Five years ago I lost my brother, he was my best friend and pretty much my father too.  The pain is just as fresh today as the day I found out at 7:30 am.  Its been more than 5 years since I have seen my best friend or even talked to him.  I am fortunate that my sister n law talked me into coming to dallas to see him for a surprise birthday party for him a few months before he died.  It was during this short time that I really got to know my brother as an adult.  Too bad it couldnt have been a longer stay.  and to think I almost didnt go because I thought the plane tickets cost too much.  I couldnt have found anything cheaper.  It just goes to show us how a little choice to go or not to go have have such an impact years later in life.  Please pray for those in the family that were affected the most....his wife Cindi, his mother Barbara, his father Tommy, his friends and close family members and me as we trudge through a day that is covered in blackness.

Please be with the Sholes family as they lay to rest their beloved father and grandfather George Sholes....he lived to be 89 and everyone know him as the one who played the piano.  A sad day indeed.

but as life goes it also comes.  A great friend of mine Amanda Randolph has informed me she is finally pregnant.  A miracle in deed....as the circle of life continues. Congratulations to her and Joey!!!

Yea   for me!!! I am making a post!!!!

Well...I am in Orlando.  and guess what?  I am already sick of it!!!  my roomates are loud and noisy...they like to drink...party...and its killing me.  Me and brandon have seen lots of shows and lots of rides while here instead of partying out.  I have been running off little sleep.  I Ran from the hurricane frances to waycross georgia.  We stayed there with two nice people greg and patsy....there were no hotels anywhere!!!! we spent three hours looking and finally we stopped at an apartment office to see if we could rent one for a few days....the manager (patsy) had an apt there but lived with here husband (greg) in a house.  So they put us up in this apt for 4 nights....for free!!! alot better than a hotel that costs alot!!!  So pray for these kind people...also there was this one real nice guy named Ian who works as an army recruiter....he was willing to give us a place to stay...but we opted for the apt that we stumbled on just after talking to him...they were able to offer us a more permanent stay...Ian and his wife and childern probably would have been ready for us to go sooner....but I thank God for his kindness as well...I know he really wanted to help!!

MAN I wish my dawg was here!!! last night in the car NO diggity No doubt came on....and I reminesed (cant spell) about the old times and a tear fell...then I went to the store to shop...by myself!!! !urghhh!! I bought things me and Lindu would normally get!!!! and it was sad...as I put each item in the buggy....then it got sadder...i went to the register to pay and when the total came there was no one to split it with!!! bhooooo hoooo hooo hooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  no really, Lindy...I wish you were here....it would be a blast...oh yea and david too because he is the man.  Sure emily too and tyler and mom and febe and clinton you want to come too?? hehehehe!!!  I miss all you guys sooo bad and it has only been two weeks!!

You guys just please keep me and brandon in your prayers as we adjust to this noisy party town....pray for us as we go to work, that we may feel like we acutally sleep....and pray for me that a few of roomates dont turn up missing ;) just kidding guys!!!  This is a huge adjustment....starting to be fun....but for me it is just a bunch of stress and I am ready to come home!!!
