alex's second accident

friday night, alex got into a car accident. she was in muncie and driving on the ice. she was stopping at a stop sign and hit a light pole. :(
the car is totalled. she is in a ton of pain, but nothing too serious. she is home now and went to the doctor. they said that she has some muscle tearing and is pretty banged up, there are possible cracked ribs, they didnt do the proper x-rays because she was hurting so much, the nurse decided to not do them. but they put her in a neck brace and an arm sling. i feel so bad for her. they also put her on muscle relaxers, vicodin, and aleve. i wish i could be there to help. please keep her in your prayers.




my poor little skittle. :,(









i love you alex and hope you recover quickly!

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

there is so much snow here! i could barely get my car door open because we parked too close to the edge of where the driveway had been shoveled and it was higher than my door, so it was fun getting out. lol. it comes up about to my knees. its crazy. and we're supposed to get more. i'm so excited!








my feet after going outside to take some snow pix. lol. so cold, they were turning all red. iceburn! ahh!

In Loving Memory Of Chris Long

Today is the six year anniversary of Chris's death. He was a great man. He died helping others. I don't think he would have had it any other way. He was preparing to go on a mission for the church. I know that he is on his spiritual mission right now and that he is still helping people today. He has been a great example in my life, and I am grateful to have known him. I love and miss him, and hope that everyone who knew him will remember him today and keep his family in your prayers.


Here are some pictures of him that I had his parents scan and send me. And then a couple that I took of his grave a while ago.
