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:
I received a new camera for Christmas. While it is not fancy in any means like Derek’s is – no lenses, built in flash, fits in the palm of your hand – it is very nice and actually takes pretty good pictures. So I wanted to challenge myself to use it, learn about it and…
I am not one to make resolutions for the new year. Only because I always start out strong and by the third week in January I am back to my old habits and feeling guilty about not getting those things done. BUT….. If I had to make resolutions this year it would probably consist of…
This was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. Thank you Lauren!! 🙂 If you haven’t seen the movie you might not want to play this……oh wait…..yeah go ahead, there’s nothing in there you can’t hear. ENJOY!!!
So here’s what I’ve lost so far this pregnancy: My Zune (the biggest loss of everything) A paycheck from my part-time job singing at Church A package of Wegmans Honey Roasted Turkey Breast Items found which were missing: A jar of Vick’s Vapo-Rub (which has been missing since way before the pregnancy, and again –…
One year ago today I went into labor around 2:15pm. Over 24 hours later, after 4 hours of pushing, Ariella couldn’t turn to be birthed naturally, so had to be delivered by c-section. She was born at 4:42pm after a successful surgery, and Mama heard her crying right away. Since then, we have recovered from…
I have fallen madly in love – again – with my Husband. I’m not sure when it happened exactly, and I’m definitely not saying that I had fallen out of love at any point, but I think somewhere in amidst the typical day to day “stuff” you do start to take for granted what you…
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.
