I Stand Before You (a Memorial Day poem)

I Stand Before You

I stand before you all today

But not one eye can see my way

My time arrived, to leave this earth

A fact so planned, to every birth

It happened where I had to go

My torch for life was so aglow

I transferred while in uniform

Protecting freedom, through a storm

Should I resent I died for you

Not on my life, red white and blue

Please help my family through each day

Tell all my friends, try not to stray

And of the country I did love

Do think of me, through God above

Your memories, brought forth this day

Send love to us, who could not stay

Pics from Thanksgiving 2009

This past November my parents and I went to Greenville, Mississippi for Thanksgiving to visit my dad's side of the family.. I had a lot of fun hanging out with my cousins Lara and Brad.. Here are some of the pics that I took while there...

Pics from last year...

I decided to start editing some pics from last year... Even tho I scratched my cornea the other day and bright lights makes my left eye EXTREMELY uncomfortable... but just as soon as I get my name on the pics, I will post them.. Hope everyone has a safe and blessed Memorial Day weekend.. And don't forget to thank an active or retired Military personnel!

I Have Not Abandoned You..

I just haven't photographed anything.. Well, I did get a couple of magnolias... but I think that would be flower overboard here.. lol.. Been busy training with A DJ Connection... having a blast doing so.. So until I can get some more pics, it may be quiet... I will try to get some of the wedding I am assisting with tomorrow..

God Bless,

Paula

Saturday Night...

What was supposed to have been a drive to Destin, FL for a wedding turned out to be a wedding [with Shawn] then a concert.. After the wedding was over and on the drive back home Shawn and I saw the marquee for Club Overboard and saw that one of our favorite bands was playing.. FUEL!!!! OMG! I have been in love with this band since high school! So last second, we decided to go... We missed the opening act [don't know who it was] and the first half of Fuel's performance, but you know what.. I don't care... I GOT TO SEE BRETT SCALLIONS LIVE!!! *SWOON*
