NHRA Races

Back in November Michael took me to the NHRA races for my birthday-The owner of Michael's company that he works for is very generous, so he gave Michael 2 VIP passes to these races. Michael surprised me & took me there as a late birthday present. Let me tell you this was so awesome. We had the VIP passses so we sat right at the starting line, the VIP section has there own designated section. We had a buffet it was sooo yummy, it was all under these huge white tents that were roped off for the special VIP's.. We had a blast that day what a rush just watching the races. Because we were soo close to the starting line the stands just vibrate. Stacy had warned us make sure u bring ear plugs its loud, so we bought some one the way down the hill. You squish them into your ears. So we are walking up to our seats & the dragsters start there engine, not to loud you can hear the roumbling sound great i am getting pumped, so you smell there exhaust its so strong at some points it would burn ur throat. But it did smell good. Kinda like when you start a 2 stroke motorcycle & you can smell the mix, like that but even better. So Michael & I are walking up the stands dragsters started not to loud right.. I am thinking hum maybe Stacy has sensitive ears, so boom green light for the drags to start.. O my Gosh the loudest noise you have ever heard in you entire life, Michael & I cover our ears & run to our seats as fast as we can. Holy crap Stacy wasn't kidding. But it's definately a huge rush. John Force & his daughters & the rest of his racing team were there. What a fun day, I want to go again. The drivers of the drags were giving away there slicks, I wanted 1 soooo bad. Michael wouldn't le me :( he said what the heck would you do with it, I sai I don't know keep it in the garage and look at it.. haha Maybe next time I will get a slick..

Grandpa Leo

Well Grandpa Leo -Michael's Grandpa. The poor guy isn't doing to well for the last 4 weeks hes been bounced around from one place to another. On the 9th of January he was taken to St. Bernardines Hosp. spent almost 2 weeks there, then he was sent to Ballard which is a rehab center, this was to get him strong & to get hime up and moving around again. Then he was taken back to St.B's then he started doing really good & was sent to a really nice Facility in Rancho Cucamonga Grandpa lasted 3 or 4 days there I think & now he's back at St.B's in ICU. Currently since saturday, he had a seizure, then a few hours later he had a stroke, he was on blood thinners to disolve a blood clot in his right arm, but he threw up so much blood that he had to have a blood transfusion AGAIN!!! he now currently has a blood clot in each arm, he hasn't urinated in 3 days & his body is swelling from all the urine going in to his body. He really dosen't know whats going on hes really out of it which is sad. Michael & I went down to see him last saturday and he looked so good his color looked good, he was talking & joking .He was sayng he was getting outa that place & going home. We had a really really nice 2 hour chat with him, then saturday night everything changed. Poor guy, he suffering. Please pray for him & for our family during this really hard time. Love & prayers to you all..

Graduation 2008

For my graduation we had a party at my mom's house before I graduated, my mom, Jon, Kenny Jen & Kameron, Michael & tay & meg, Rachel & the kids, Stacy & Aaron & kids were all there for a nice lil party before the graduation. Then after graduation my dad, candy lil Michael, Rachel,Stacy & Aaron, Michael, Taylor, Megan,Colin & Caylin all joined in on the fun at Apple Bee's.. We had some drinks & dessert & a lot of laughs. We stayed until they closed, the kids started an ice fight.. at first we told them to stop because thats unacceptable behavior to act that way in public, then we realized how fun it was an we all had an ice throwing fight.. No one told us to sop, we even requested cups of ice & the waitress brought them, after all it was a celebration RIGHT??? haha good times, good times..
