Near Death Experience
tonight we went out to eat at POJO's for the first time ... my mom wanted to try it ... on our way back home, we were turning into the main road and this car come speeding up and we had to break or else he woulda rammed into our side ... then this lady behind us rammed into the back of our car and my dad breaked again just in time to save us from going into oncoming (speeding) traffic. it was hella scary coz it was so strong ... it wasnt that bad damage to the car ... the back was dented in but it could be fixed ... my whole fam was in the car except for my sister who stayed on base for a sleepover ... my dad was driving but he wasnt that mad coz it wouldnt have happened if that guy wasnt speeding, i mean he already saw us turning ... it was just scary coz after the cops came to handle the paperwork, my little brother says "dude, what if something happened to us, it would be just joy left ..." and that was a scary thought ...
we're all ok now ... but guys -- *a-hem REMY&JENNA a-hem* -- haha ... just kidding ... be careful out there ... i thought id use this as another oppurtunity to tell you how much i love my SiLLiES .. that was a close one ...

America Under Attack
Nostradamus once prophesized that "chaos will come over the city of York when the two giant brothers fall" ... whats even scarier was that his next prophecy claimed "after the chaos will come war" ...
waking up Wednesday morning to news like that was simply shocking ... i spent the day in with the family just watching CNN and seeing them play images of the planes crashing into the World Trade Centers over and over again ... it just seemed too surreal ... its hard to believe ... although we're so far away from what happened, the meer tragedy of it all still manages to sting my heart. my sorrow and anger right now is almost as intense as if i knew someone who was hurt by the attacks and i dont know why. i prayed long and hard last night hoping that everything would be ok when i wake up ... but instead of finding a normal day in the news, it was those images of the planes crashing into the towers playing over and over yet again. coming to terms with that reality was hard because i never imagined that in my lifetime, id have to see such brutal and mindless acts. hearing and reading stories of how our nation is pulling together makes me proud to be part of a country that is so devoted to protecting the good of our people. so, its not silly of me to feel saddened by whats happened almost half the globe away. in fact, it makes sense that i should feel that way. we were affected ... our life for yesterday and today was affected. we will never be the same.
GOD BLESS THE ViCTiMS AND FAMiLiES WHO WERE TOUCHED BY THiS TRAGEDY, GOD BLESS AMERiCA
