Thank goodness this week is over. The massacre at Virginia Tech was a terrible thing and it was even worse that I had to watch it unfold at work. And then couldn't get away from it for a week. How did this guy fall through the cracks? It really hit home in all sorts of ways. Did you tell your parents that you loved them today? Did you tell your sister that you think she is the best parent ever? Did you tell her how proud you are of her? Did you tell or have you shown your friends how important they are to you? Take the time. My frustration came out more as anger. Just anger that all these people had to die. But everything happens for a reason I suppose. It may take awhile but maybe someone will clamp down on gun control. Or someone else might be saved from this tradegy.
In other news I am really working on trying to be in better health. I am struggling between 2 gyms and thinking, I should just crate my own gym. I would make the perfect gym. Pool. Classes every hour. Good fitness instructors. DVD machines on every fitness equiptment. But I am working on finding the best one for me.
And finally earth day. Oprah had a
great green episode on today. I ordered shopping bags from
Eco Bags so I can stop using the crappy ones at the store. They should be here soon. I am going to get a better water bottle this weekend, possible
this one. One that is a 2, 4 or a 5. I am also going home tonight and change all the ligh bulbs. I know Mat wants me to wait until our current ones go out but I just can't stand it! I am going to change as many as I can...tonight! Do what you can to save the earth.
For those who don't know, my dad is a assistant basketball coach for THE Lancaster Golden Gales. He helps out with JV and Varsity shaping the young athletes to be the best they can be. He loves it and we love that he loves it. To see a fabulous article that my Dad wrote on the Gales, go here. He is also a teacher and does about 1000 things for the school. I think he could possible bleed Gold/Blue.
I was happy to have my girly bunnies our there supporting the females of the group. A highlight of the day was when the boys decided to go find Urban Meyer (UF Head Coach) and get thier picture with him in thier costumes. I couldn't believe it but they managed to find him, basically accost him and I was the lucky photographer. 
He was such a good sport about it but I think he quickly left sometime after that. It was great fun. Click here to see more pictures.
In the midst of that we bought patio furniture from Ikea, made two Adirondack chairs and built a shed in which I call Shelby. To see pictures of all that and more, click here. We just had a blast all week. I learned to plant and the art of watering every day. Chloe is learning quickly and was a great helper. I love spending time with her and was greatful to Kari/Jarrod that they let her come and visit. I can't thank Mom and Dad enough for all that they did over the week. I seriously don't know what we would do without them! Greatest people on earth.
