4th of July

What a Bitter Sweet day!

Our family started our day on a sweet note. We were off to Surf Side Water Park in Auburn, AL, what a hard chore that was, lets start from the beginning we left early enough so we could get something to eat right before entering the park. We get all the way there and my gas light comes on so I pull into the gas station and guess what??? I cant find my debit card----Long story short I left it at the grocery store by my house a full 20 minute drive back, I have no spare credit card because my husband does not trust me with one. Wonder Why?? So I prayed to god I would make it back to the grocery store before I ran out of gas on some county road and of course if I broke down I have no phone signal to call anyone. So I called Chance at work and told him that if I did not call him back in like 20 minutes send the rescue squad after us. We made it with the gas light beaming at me the whole way. We made it back to the water park a whole 45 minutes late, but still had a great time. Erin went down the water slide for the first time ever and had a blast. Brittany brought back a wonderful sun burn and Taelor was lucky enough to not bring one back this time. I myself brought back a good tan on my face that looks like I still have on sunglasses. We had a great time.

Now as I write this I am ending this day on a somber note. If you have been reading my BLOG and the first day I wrote I was writing about my brother in law being real sick well tonight he passed away at his home with Dee by his side. Chance had called me earlier today around 3:30 and said he was going over there because he was not doing well. Chance came home around 7:00 and said the same thing he was not doing good at all, but we had no idea that it would happen so fast. Chance has now left to go back over there to be there for Dee. It is just so sad you have to remember that Dee and Chance just buried there mother not even 2 months ago and now Dee has to bury her husband. They have a 5 year old daughter Katherine and Chance said that the only thing she knows is that her daddy is real sick. I just ask myself how does Dee tell her that her daddy is gone. My heart just breaks for her. Darrell was only 38 years old and was loved by many. As we end this day of Independence and thank god and our troops for our freedom, remember all of those that have lost there lives for us and our country and those like Dee and Katherine that will always remember this day in a whole new way.

May god bless you.
