.......

how do you say goodbye to the person that you though you would never have to live without? how do you let that person know that you love them even though you haven't said it for years? how do explain to your child that she's never gonna get to see her daddy again?

how do you make sure she doesn't forget him? 

how do you make yourself live and love again? 

i know you've heard it a million times, but really do it. LIVE EACH DAY TO THE FULLEST. never stop saying i love you. kiss your kids always, even when you're mad at them. make memories and take pictures so your  memories can live on forever. don't take the little things for granted, like how someone's hand feels in yours, the way they smell when you hug, the way their eyes look when they smile. 

keep your friends and family close. talk to them everyday, spend time and laugh with them. make friends with your enemies. it's not worth it to hate or hold grudges. it's easier to love. don't go to bed angry with anyone. before you say goodbye to someone ask yourself,  what if i never see them again?

life can change so quickly, and in an instant your whole world can fall apart leaving you with a part of your heart missing. a part that will never grow back but can be filled with the memories you made, and the hope that things will one day get better. 

...Pray for Jerry..

DESERET NEWS OREM — A 24-year-old Orem man is recovering after being hit Monday night while he was riding a motorized scooter without a helmet.
Jarauld Lowe was at the intersection of 1300 S. Geneva Road when a 20-year-old woman in a passenger car failed to yield and turned left in front of him, said Orem Police Lt. Doug Edwards.
The collision sent Lowe over his handlebars and 90 to 100 feet down the road where he injured his head.
When emergency personnel arrived just after 11 p.m.Monday, Lowe was conscious and combative, which is not atypical with head injuries, Edwards said.
Lowe was flown via medical helicopter to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center where he remains in critical condition.
Edwards said the female driver from Highland was cited for failure to yield.

So, since i am such a good blogger i guess i'll post again. No pictures though. I'm really good at getting my pictures off of my camera too. :) Amber started school on the 19th of august. She goes 3 days a week for 2.5 hours. She's still having a love hate relationship with it, she hates to go, but loves it when she's there and is so happy when i pick her up. The first couple of days were hard for me too but i got over it quick! I really like her school, she comes home every day singing a new song, and if anybody knows Amber they know she loves to sing!

I got a Supervisor position at Albertsons so i've been working ther much more than Crest lately. It's a fun job even if i'm there until 1 in the morning sometimes. I'm so grateful that we live with my family so Amber can be at home when i'm at work and can go to bed in her own bed. I also get to watch Quincy and Norah two mornings a week again! I love spending time with them, and i know Amber does too. I love living close to my family so we can see everyone.

Anyway, thats what is going on with us, just school for Amber and work for me. Not a whole lot but were happy! Someday i'll post more pictures. Someday. Love ya!
