Life or something like it

I haven't had time to blog because I've been busying:
1. Enjoying Hell's Kitchen that is finally back on!!!
2. Reading The Wheel of Time series that my horrible father made me start reading. (He's really not horrible at all, but it's his fault I'm stuck in the world of reborn dragons and the One Power.)
3. Being 'duped' (if you ask hub's opinion on the situation) into getting an alarm system and now waiting to have it uninstalled. 
4. Melting in the 90+ degree weather for the past like 17 years.
5. Marching band drama.
6. New kittens at my parents house.
7. All-out warfare on the spiders and ants trying to invade my country.
8. Playing camp counselor for 8th & 9th graders over the weekend.

I love the summer, because I like swimming and I'm normally cold all the time so the hot weather evens out my cold body tempature. Hub tells me that I'm a vampire because I'm cold all the time. So I tell him he is a werewolf because he is hot all the time. Speaking of vampires and werewolves, ECLIPSE IS NEXT WEEK!! I'm not excited or anything at all. 

No Snapple fact today, sorry. I didn't even open my Snapple that I had for today so I'm saving it for tomorrow.

But on a serious note -
Please send your thoughts and prayers to Matt and Brandi, friends of ours and a couple from our church.  They live a few houses away from us too, so they are also kinda our neighbors.
They lost their unborn son and found out Sunday night.  Brandi had carried Boston for 37 weeks and became worried when she felt no movement and upon arriving at the hospital, Brandi and Matt were told their son, Boston, had died.  Brandi delivered Boston about 2 p.m. Monday afternoon.  Brandi and Matt were then blessed to be able to hug and kiss their son and say goodbye before Brandi was sent home from the hospital Monday night.  This was their first child, and has been extremely difficult for them.  Especially for Matt, losing his first-born son on father's day.  They are a strong, faithful couple, and Boston and their strength in this difficult situation has already touched many life's. Please just send them your thoughts and prayers through these unbelievably difficult time.  There will be a celebration service for Boston to be held tomorrow (thursday june 24) night at our church.

We got this news Monday morning, and it really hit us.  They are around our age and don't have any children, with Boston to be their first.  Hub and I don't have any kids, but will eventually, and I can't even fathom the pain Brandi and Matt are experiencing right now. It hurts my heart to think of their pain.
