RASCAL FLATTS

So I haven't been to too many concerts, but I have to say that this was a blast. I know

I know it is country and I was quite surprised when Ty got the tickets but I think he

really enjoyed it infact, I caught him singing some of the songs cause we do listen to

country at times. But Wait before you say anything about the cowboy hats and shorts

we didn't really put the two together I just wanted to see what Ty looked like in a cowboy

hat probably the only time I will see him in one. I have to kind of admit the cowboy hat and

shorts was a turn on haha!

Tornado!

Well there is a first for everything right? We just experienced the first tornado. So this is what went down I took the kids to the park with a bunch of ladies from our ward out here and they were explaining to me how to get to the park. They said I turn by the tornado alarm. So that was the first time I actually had even seen those before. Then they were saying how I shouldn't worry that the season was over and they really never get them in Northern Texas. (I am in Plano). So we left the park and headed for home. We got home and all of the sudden the alarms went off. Wow they are loud. I kind of freaked out and called my friend Stacy cause she lives in Nebraska and has been through these a couple of times her husband answered and said go to a bottom apartment and get in the tub (I guess that is the safest place). So I barged in on this girl thats out here babysitting her sister in laws three kids and we all got in the tub ( pretty funny sight). Ty was still out knocking doors and said that it wasn't even bad were he was. Then five minutes later he called and was like ya I think I better come home I see it coming. It was so weird when I called Stacy the sky was totally clear and the winds were come then within 15 minutes it changed dramatically the sky went green and the clouds rolled in way fast and it poured. So it didn't actually touch the ground the worst I heard was trees were knocked over and an eighteen wheeler got blown over. Talon kept saying is the tormato over? Where is my dad is he going to blow away in the tormato? I was just glad we were safe and hope that that was the last one we have to experience.

Texas History

So I don't know if Texas really likes to be known for the state where JFK was assassinated but it was pretty cool to see. Call me a nerd but I loved reading about it, seeing where it happened, and hearing people talk of the conspiracy theory of who did it. Fascinating. Those X's in the street where Ty is pointing at is where he got shot. There was two of them the first missed. The building we are standing in front of is the building where supposebly one of the gun shots came from, although there is talk of bullets heard coming from the grassy knoll just across from us. The building is now a museum dedicated to JFK and his wife. There were fascinating pictures in there I had never seen before of like the bullet wound to his head, the so-called actually gun used, and some cool old photos of when it actually happened and they displayed some of the cameras that those photos were taken from. Ty and I were noticing that it was a really good posting for who ever did it cause it was a good clear shot and very close. What a tragedy. The last picture is just of a cool restaurant that lights up at night.

get props for a dance I am doing, my nieces dance recital in

Bountiful, and then Jaeda's party, then a our flight was on Tuesday

morning. Wow it was a crazy week but now I am relaxing at the

pool make in up for lost time heehee!

QUOTE OF THE MOMENT

A Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete... Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
