Random blurbs about life and other such things surrounding it..I guess.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
”Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God;believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.” John 14:1-4’
“fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10
I’m not really sure how else to start this but with what I learned to be a few verses she particularly wanted read. The woman pictured is my Great Grandma. If you had ever met her you’d be totally thrilled to have known her. In the last few days I’ve sat here and listened to bits and pieces she had told to everyone in her last few weeks. Boy did some of the things she said really blow my mind. I can truly say that she is SO much happier now, as will we all someday be. Grandma was definitely the heart of the family, she held things together and made sure everyone was together at least once a year. She loved having us all together under one roof, you wouldn’t be able to wipe her cheesy grin off of her face,that’s for sure. It’s crazy to think how her passing away has kinda showed me a few things in particular. Grandma sent out holiday cards to everyone grandchildren and great grandchildren. Every single card included a $2 dollar bill and a signature that instead of writing “love ya!” it would read, “I Love You, Grandma.” For her being in her 70’s and still handwriting at least 21 cards in total meant the world to all of us. Saying goodbye is gonna be one tough thing to do, that’s for sure. I keep thinking she’s on a trip and she’ll pop on in somewhere and say “here I am!” Tonight with all the Carter’s together, it was extremely eerie not having her there. I kept turning the corner expecting to see her. I think the biggest comfort is knowing that she knew the Lord as her savior and how thrilled she is to be with Grandpa now. I know for a fact the next few weeks are going to be tough even after the funeral later today. She’s definitely going to be missed by many!

Haha! Glad LeAnne has these available:P
For some really odd reason lately I’ve been a little down on myself. It’s frustrating to see how much I’ve run myself into the ground since high school ended. I’ve been out for almost a year now, and it’s the first weight gain I’ve had in almost 3 years. I feel SO awful about how I look, how I’m feeling. Of course I’m also one of those people who also tends to get pissed because I don’t see immediate results. Sometimes I fear that since obesity runs in the family, that I’m destined to gain a bunch more weight. I’ve never been one to publicly state that insecurity, but I am right now. I’m a girl. I’m worried about my weight. I’m worried about my health. I’m worried about my future. I’ve heard the, “It’s easy to put it all on than to take it back off” saying. Boy does that freak me out. I’d like to lose about 15/20 pounds by summer. It’d be nice to be a little lighter than my graduating self. Being down about gaining this weight makes me wanna not do anything. I don’t wanna get out, I eat because I’m pissed at myself. Now that I’m going to a new place of work, I’m at a desk for 8 hours, of course, sitting down. I hope to teach myself some discipline and start eating healthier, exercising A LOT more, and toning up and losing these pounds and fitting back into my clothes before I become an emotional wreck. I just have to find a good place to start. Ugh.:/ #girlproblems
All the adults are saying, ‘We need to improve science in the world. Let’s train the kids.’ I’ve never heard an adult say, ‘We need more science in the world. Train me.’
Day#5: Smile! (: He makes me smile a lot!
I remember the morning clear as day. It was the day my mom had race for the cure and for some reason i wound up in my parents bed. I was getting ready to enter the 4th grade and didn’t quite understand things at first. It was all with a phone call, some tears, and my parents trying to keep details to a minimum. My cousin Amber was 21 years old and after a night at the bar decided to drive under the influence with her boyfriend in the passenger seat. I’ve never seen the pictures of her car, I don’t think I want to. She tried to beat a train and didn’t end up making it. Her boyfriend was killed instantly, she was unconscious. Amber never woke up. She died the 14th in July of 2001. She was in a coma for I believe a week before they determined she was brain dead. Today would’ve been her 32nd birthday. Our family misses her everyday. From the home videos we’ve seen, she had so much love for everyone she came into contact with. Always had a smile, and was almost ALWAYS laughing. If you’ve have a few drinks, please don’t drive. In an instant you or another families love one could be in her situation. Call somebody or stay put until you’ve sobered up.
What a cup o’ hot tea!(: I love this stuff! (Taken with instagram)
