The Ties That Bind

So, recently I've really gotten into Greys again! Mostly what I love are the quotes.. One of my favorites is from Season 5 Episode 7. Just to preface the quote a little.. In this episode Izzy is having a hard time becuase she keeps seeing Denny, and she was told by a Navajo patient that the navajo's burn the things of the people that have passed on to free their spirit so that they don't haunt. So, while she keeps seeing Denny all of Seattle Grace she figures that she needs to burn the last remaining thing that she has of his, a sweater that she made for him. She burns it at the end and sees Denny's "spirit" again, Izzy learnes that he is there to help her and not to haunt her... so here goes:

The ties that bind us are sometimes hard to explain. They connect us even after it seems like the ties should be broken. Some bonds defy distance and time and logic, because some ties are simply meant to be.

Veterans Day

Today is November 11, 2008! It's not just a day of no school, for banks to shut down, or for some businesses to close. Today is a day to remember those loved ones that may have lost a life or been injured fighting for our freedom! Today is the day that we should stop and take a moment to realize that altough we may be having a bad day there is many someones who are overseas fighting for our freedom and having a worse day then we are! I would urge you all to take a moment and realize that our freedom is not free, It has come at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives that have been lost! So, Take the time to stop and reflect on the lives lost and the freedom given to us at the cost of the lives of others.

Thank you to all those veterans and current soldiers who are fighting or preparing to fight for not only our lives and freedom but their's as well! Thank you! God Bless.

Mike's baptism

It's been a few days! But the last week or so has been an up and down rollercoster. Which, I guess is to be expected when changes are happening in your life. Mike's baptism date was Thursday October 30, 2008! Dad was given the opportunity to not only baptize Mike but to also Confirm him! Mike was proud to have dad be the one to baptize him! It was one of the most peaceful baptisms that i've been to. It was amazing! Last week was CRAZY! It's funny how when someone tells you about how the influence of the "other side" can be you don't realize it until you are there and it's pushing and pulling against you. But i'm happy to say that we got thru it and everything has turned out to be amazing! Thank you all for your support..
