say a prayer for my bro!

I was thinking today about my brother joel getting ready to take the D.A.T. i can hear in his voice how stressed out he is and i saw it written all over his face when he was bbqing. I know that this is his personal crunch time, he is done with school and just focusing on getting into dental school. He has been studying the past 6+ months to get ready for this test on saturday. So please oh please say a prayer for him, that he might have peace, that he will know the subject matter, that he will be calm and be able to think clearly and that he will know that the Lord will not let him fail, that God will watch out for his son that has served him in any capacity asked of him. So this saturday is his big day, please think of him and send him good thoughts and keep a prayer in your heart for one of the best people i know!

i just have to say...

Today started out with a funny moment... i went to my bank around lunch time so the parking lot was full. i circled and spotted an empty spot on the other row so i quickly whipped around the isle to be able to get it... another car spotted it and i kid you not whipped into the spot at around 30 miles an hour, but in his haste to beat me to the spot he pulled in crooked and too close to the car on his left. so close that there was no way that he could have gotten out! so i was at first cussing him out in my mind, but in all fairness knew that i would have gladly done the same thing to him if i would have beaten him to the spot. But don't you worry i got him back. As soon as he stole my spot i see another car about to pull out a few spots down the row so i pull up and literally blocked him in so that he couldn't back out enough to straighten out and be able to get out of his car. He sat there trapped while i pulled into my spot and walked into the building before he was even able to get into the spot correctly. lesson learned mister stealer of my parking spot... I WIN! lol!

a short story by Nicomi

I was talking to my sister and i told her this story from my teenage years...

I was never one to be ashamed of what my car looked like... to me my car was a way to get from point A to point B. So when my car "the boat" finally coughed up its last life i would borrow my dad's car that looked like the car above except it was white. i would get to borrow the car when my dad didn't need it and it would save me from having to take the bus... the only downside to the car is that it would pour black smoke out the exhaust... i do not exaggerate... huge clouds of billowy black smoke flying out the back when you pushed down on the gas... it would last for the first 5-10 minutes of the car being on than it would be OK... so imagine being a teenager in this amazing car. I would drive it with pride because i knew i wasn't walking or taking the bus... on this day that will live on in my mind, i had my brother and his girlfriend audrey in the car we were driving home on County Rd. going by the library when this smarty pants guy made a crack about the car loud enough that i could hear him. so faster than you could blink your eye i pull over so that the tail end of the car was about 20 feet in front of him, i quickly put the car in park and my foot on the gas and went to town... you should have seen the CLOUDS of smoke... it was so dark and thick it was like night back there... the guy pushes his way through the smoke and i quickly roll down my window and yell out... "HEY, AT LEAST WE AREN'T WALKING!" well the "we" really weren't in the car, i looked back to make sure that my brother and his girlfriend had my back only to see them laying down so that nobody could see them... I guess i was the only one that wasn't embarrassed about the car!

the greatest homework ever turned in!

"I am going to tell you about my aunt Nicomi. When we went to legoland we went of rides that were fun. My aunt Nicomi is kind, helpful and she let me go on the playgrownd. We play tag. I was faster than her but she took a short cat. I got taged then i taged her back. She is special because I always see her every Sunday and when..."

"...go on a trip we always feel happy. I am glad she's in my family and I love her."

written by my adorable, smart little nephew Tyler! I love him! He definitely deserves the E+ that he got!
