10 years ago tomorrow, a good friend of mine was taken prematurely from this world by a Drunk Driver. Her sister is hosting a candlelight vigil Thursday evening, March 6th in Caz Park. I strongly encourage anyone who knew Karen, or anyone else who may have been killed by a drunk driver to join us in this remembrance. Here are the details:
Yes, there really IS a baby growing in my tummy. It’s strange at the moment because now that the morning sickness is gone, I am starting to feel normal again. Ok, ok I know, I’m not “normal”. š But I really am feeling more like myself than I was a week or two ago. I’m…
The other night Derek and I got into a discussion about blogging. He said that because I do not blog all of the time that I am not seen as a true blogger. I brought up the fact that I never seem to have anything to say, other than personal items that only the family…
Ariella Sophia Punaro was born today, October 8, 2008 at 4:43pm. She weighed in at 8lbs 3oz and measured 20.5″. Amanda started having contractions after her doctor’s appointment yesterday, and we arrived at the hospital around midnight today. Her labor progressed steady through noon when she was fully dilated and they had her start pushing….
Every morning I wake up and go to the kitchen where I promptly put on my grim reaper costume and start to kill things. Lots of things. My tool of choice? METHOD’s Grapefruit All Purpose Kitchen Spray. Not only does it smell good, it truly IS All Purpose, cause I never thought of using it…
Let me first say that I am very thankful for Praxair and my Husband’s job. š While waiting for my Husband, Derek (in case you didn’t know š ) to come out of conferences, I always felt out of place. Here I was the ONLY person amidst 6,000 without a cool backpack, tags hanging from…
Derek- I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend.
I met Karen’s sister Deanna at the Buffalo.Com Blogger Panel and she had asked me to post this on my blog too.
Karen was Amanda’s friend. (Believe it or not, I don’t write every post on this site.)
Jennifer,
Karen was dating my cousin Henry when she was killed. It was a horrible experience that really made me think about life and how precious it is. I can not believe that it has been ten years since that night. So much has changed and my life has evolved so much since then, but the memory of Karen will always be with me. She was a great friend, always smiling and laughing, and she reminds me to this day to live my own life to its absolute fullest.
