A Funeral and A Reception-all in one day

So yesterday morning i went to the viewing, funeral and internment for Daniel and then in the afternoon drove to Morrisville, PA to go to a reception for Becca and John Demos. It was an extremely emotional day.
I never thought I could cry as much as I did. I should not have gone into see him but i did and I lost it as soon as i walked in and when i finally stopped crying, my brother gave me a poem that his mom wrote about daniel and I lost it again. I calmed down a second time and then they brought in the casket and I lost it yet again. I was doing ok through Derrick's(the dad) talk and then when Ellen (mom) started giving her talk i was tearing up at certain parts but then the kids got up and tlaked about what they were going to miss the most and True (7yr old) got up and he was so sweet and it made me cry and then Justin (17) got up and he spent the most time with him and he was trying not to cry, Justin who is so tall and calm and does not cry, and I lost it completely. My dad had to put his arm around me and it was just so hard to hear and to see.
So by the time Marissa and I were driving down to go to the reception, I was so tired from crying that it was amazing to me. I am so glad that Marissa was driving because I would have had a hard time. The reception was really good. It was so pretty and Becca looked GORGEOUS and she was glowing and it was awesome to see.
So I got home around 10:30pm last night and I crashed.
It was an emotional day.....(sigh)

I Hate Funerals!

So this upcoming Saturday I will be attending my third funeral ever. Funeral #1 was for a women named Cal Hope. I did not know her that well but she had been in our ward for a long time and my mom knew her very, very well. Funeral #2 was Daniel Raliegh. He died when he was 18 from a stroke and then going brain dead, very sad because I went to seminary with him and kind of grew up with him. I cried a lot. Funeral #3 is the saddest of all for me, Daniel Herbert died 3 days ago. He was 13 months old and he died of a brain tumor that no one knew he had. The Herbert's are like my second family. Ellen is my mom's best friend and so it has been very hard for all of us. I think it is harder to see their reactions to the devastating news. Mikayla (the 15 year old daughter) looks dead, she has no happiness in her eyes or face. It is just like she is just a ghost walking around. It makes me want to cry everytime I see her. Justin (17 year old son) is not as physically sad but if you look into his eyes there is a deep saddness there that something is missing. So saturday is going to be a very difficult day, the morning I will be attending a funeral and then in the evening I will be attending Becca Lee's wedding reception so, there will be good and bad on saturday.

But I am so grateful to know of the plan of salvation because I know that they will be with Daniel again because they are sealed in the temple and they will see him again. I am so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who sacrificed his son so we could be with our families again after we died. And I am eternally grateful for Jesus Christ who suffered and bled for each of us we could be forgiven of our sins and return to heaven to be with our Heavenly Father and our families. I love this gospel and I am so glad that I have it in my life. So I hope I can just get through the funeral on saturday without bawling my eyes out.

New Car!!!!

I got a new car!!!! Yea! It is so exciting, my first car that was made in the 2000's. I got a 2006 black ford focus and I LOVE it so much. I am kind of glad that my other car died.....haha. so now i have to be more responsible and make sure i live on a tight budget but it is good because my car won't die on me every couple of feet like my old one did. So yea I am happy :)

My Car Died!!! :(

So I have been having problems with my car for about a month now and this weekend it is officially DEAD!!!! It would have cost way to much money than my car is worth so I am junking my car and I am going to buy a new one!!!! Yeah. I am so excited that I will be getting a new car. I am so glad that I will be getting a reliable car so I don't have to worry about whether or not it will break down on my way anywhere. So yea.....new times in my life. More responsibility but it is good for me, I think.....till next time....

Vampires!

So I am totally obsessed with vampire stuff. I'm kind of a freak I guess. I love twilight sooooo much and then I read multiple series of more vampire stories. Plus I love the underworld movies. So I am completely obsessed. Now I am reading the series that started the true blood tv show series and I love it so much! So my conclusion is that I am a vampire/disney/harry potter freak haha :)

Disney!

So I LOVE Disney! This is Disney Scene It...

I play this game a lot, pretty much whenever I am at Shannon's house (which is a lot) and I am amazed at my nerdiness when I comes to Disney knowledge. I know the majority of the answers to the questions. Some of the older movies I don't know but the classics I do know...FOR Instance

The Little Mermaid....This is my all time FAVORITE Disney movie. I watched it every day when I was 2 years old. I am such a Disney Nerd!!!! HAHA. So I have decided that I am ok with the fact that I am a disney nerd. But I don't just like the classics I also like the new stuff like......

I LOVE this movie....like I said I am a nerd. I also like the shows on Disney Channel. I don't know what I would do with out Disney in my life because it is just so dang AMAZING!!!!
