Disaster in Alabama

In all my years of hearing James Spann on the news saying take cover, there is a tornado warning in your area, I never imagined something like this. When this happens usually I am like ok lets go outside and look around and when we see something we will get in our safe place. I will never do that again!! In Tuscaloosa, where I went to school for 3 years before graduating in 2009, is in pieces. I am so glad the friends that I have that still live there were all safe. Some of them no longer have a place to call home but they do have their life. More than hundreds of others could say if they were still with us. My good friend Emily no longer has an apartment in the Pleasant Grove/Hueytown area. The sad thing is she had to find out about it on facebook due to phones not working. Luckily she was at her boyfriends in Mccalla when it came through. My heart goes out to all that were affected by this storm. We just listened on the radio as everything happened, due to the power being out. So when I was able to see everything that they were saying on the radio with my own eyes it made a world of difference. There are donation sites all around Alabama right now. There is one in the old Winn Dixie shopping center, by my house if anyone needs a place to take things. They are accepting pretty much everything from toiletries to canned food and clothing. I am so proud to see people working together in these hard times without hesitation. I can't help but cry every time I watch these videos

Easter Weekend

On Saturday night we went to dinner with the Lobdell's and then to their church for Easter service. They always present people to the church with their sponsor during the Easter service. This year Alissa my sister-in-law was one of them. She has been going to months of classes at the church to learn about the Catholic religion. So she was baptised and became a member of the church.

After church we went back to Trevor's parents house to have cake for a little celebration.


On Sunday morning we went to my church with the family. Crazy crowded like usual. Especially with lots of people that you don't see around the church much, just for special occasions. A lot of people criticize those that do that but I don't. I am just happy that so many were there to hear the service. After church we went to my grandmothers for lunch with the family.









This coming up week I start finals. I have a make-up test tomorrow on Cardio. I missed it at the beginning of the semester when I was sick. Kind of nervous about it because the material was covered so long ago, it seems. On Thursday I have a final for one class and then Monday May the 2nd is my other final. Please pray that I do well. A week and a day from today I will officially be done with school. For a while anyway.

On This Day I Married My Best Friend

Two years ago today Trevor's and I walked down the aisle and said I do.....You can see it HERE.

I am so blessed to have him in my life. Too bad I have a test tonight. This year has been a roller coaster for us with me being in school but I could not think of someone better to be on the ride with. Thank you Trevor for being such a wonderful husband to me!!!! We will celebrate after I get out of school with THIS trip in May.
