In Honor of Mrs. Parker.

Today was just like any other summer day. I woke up, got ready for tennis and left. But now my shirt is stained with tears and the lives of two men have been changed for the rest of their lives. Earlier today, the woman we have helped, and helped again, committed suicide. I loathe typing that word because it seems so fake on the computer. But Mr. Parker no longer has a wife. And Brennan Parker no longer has a mother. This just seems so wrong to me because Mrs. Opper is fighting for her life in a hospital bed, and someone just decided to waste theirs in their own garage, where her family will have to go by every single day of their lives.

The Parker boys are over as I type. Poor Brennan (only 8 years old) doesn't understand much of what is going on. I just keep looking into Mr. Parkers eyes and you can just grieve just by looking at them. It's such a strong coat of sadness and depression. How could anyone just give up the two most important things to them!? How could someone be so selfish as to take their own lives and leave what was left behind for other people to handle?! How could she?! How could she let her little boy grow up all alone without a mother to see him graduate from highschool, from college, get married, have himself a little boy or girl?! How could she do this to Tim!? After the 20 years they spent together through her drunkedness. How could she just do that to him!? Just typing this is making me realize how thankful I am for such a loving mother and father, and how good I really have it. I am once again in tears as I type, and it is such a sad and disgusting thing to have to process, for anyones age.

Mr. Parker and Brennie will be sleeping in my room because the carbon monoxide is in their home and they needed a place to stay. We have been Brennie's and Mr. Parkers main courage, strength, structure, peace, and their everythings through this process. And now that it's over, no one knows what to do. I'll keep updating this with the latest. Please, please, please. If you are reading this very sentence. Just stop.
Please pray for Mr. Parker right now. That he can be strong, feel God's peace, and be able to handle what is about to come (funeral homes, etc)
Please pray for Brennan also. He is only 8. He has had to deal with SoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO much more than ANY aged person should every experience. Please pray that he can be obedient to his father, and have peace as he gets older, also that he knows his mom loved him.
This still seems so unreal, yet I know it is.

Over and Out.

Oh dear goodness..... :/

Well. I haven't written in awhile, sorry about that. It has been aboslutely insane over here. We have a neighbor who is a complete drunk, so we take her little boy over practically 24/7. It's become such an issue that she's gone into the ditch, and the police scanners know her as, "That drunk lady, again." So last night, during Asher's 9th birthday party, my mom finally persuaded the husband and Brennan to leave the house, so Mr. P went back to the house frantically packing before she got home. Poor Brennan, he didn't know what was going on, and he kinda snapped. :/ But anywho, they should be away from her now (this was all last night). I hope she can stop messing up and see what she's doing to Brennan and Mr. P. AND the entire neighborhood now that I think about it.

I am SooOOOOOoOOoOOooOOoOooooOooooOO excited for SSI! I never thought I would say it, but I really truly am! :] I'm going to room with like, two of the awesomest people I know; Colleen Hoch and Stephanie Edwards! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! :))) I'm only going to be staying for the first 3-4 days because we are leaving for...
FlOrIdA!!!!
I'm really excited about that too, I need to get a serious tan...
Speaking of tan. I played tennis camp yesterday in the blistering heat for two hours. Without sun protection. Ha. I literally couldn't move in my bed last night, it was terrible! My shoulders are hot pink!! :P And then I had to vacuum at FNBA with the 10 pound vacuum on my SHOULDERS. It was sooooo painful! I won't be able to do that again tonight, so I have to ask Cole if it's alright that I don't vacuum! :/ :/ :/

Mrs. Opper isn't doing too well. :((((((((((((( Mom is taking baked goods up to the nurses everyday so they give her special attention, and it's totally working! Sad but true. They also found a "lump" on Mr. Oppers tailbone, so they have to do a biopsy and see if it's cancer or not. Uh, that poor family is going through so much. I can't even begin to FATHOM what they are going though at every one moment. I really need to set up another fasting thing for her. I'm actually going to do that as soon as I'm writing this!

So yup. Fun stuff. I need to go have some breakfast or lunch. Oh, and I have tennis today and work later tonight. I SERIOUSLY need to take the road test soon, so if anyone is reading this, please pray that I'll pass! :] Over and out! <3

Concert, Open Houses, Work, Detroit Princess, and Babysitting!

The concert was absolutely fabulous! Taylor Swift was fantastic and Keith Urban just got a new major fan! :]
Open Houses. Oh my goodness. SO MANY. I'm going to give everyone pencils next year! :)
Work is great, just got my check in the mail today, woot woot! I also start my reception job tomorrow officially! Gah! I hope I don't mess up! :D
We went on the Detroit Princess last night, it was a blast! The food was great. The dancing was really fun. (There were QUITE a few creepers there, but we're all alive!) And the boat was beautiful! We took Stephanie and Christie! Woot!
Agh. I just got back from babysitting. That was.... fun. Ha. Ok, no, not fun at all! They don't really obey and don't want to do any of the fun things I have pre-planned for them, it's kinda stinky :P
I have to get going. Oh yeah, an we started tennis on Tuesday, but I haven't been able to go on Wed, today or tomorrow because of other things.
Oh, Wednesday, us and the edwards shopped. not just shopped. but literally shopped til we dropped! I bought SO much stuff, it's embarassing! lol. and went to P.F. CHANGS! It was so good! Except our waitress was quite humorless :/ Again, we'll live!
Over and out----

So tired! :(

I am so tired! :/
I don't like being tired. :/
Concert tomorrow, so excited! :]
But I need to get to sleep, so I'll be awake! :]
End of my tired story! :/
I can't wait to gooooooooooooooo! :D

At workio!

Woot! I really LoVe my new job at the front desk! It's so ME! I get to talk to great people, wear nicer clothes, don't take out the trash, answer phones, meet new people, the works! I love it! A lot! :D Pretty excited for tonight, Lo is coming over, and we're going to go to some random open house that our parents are forcing us to go to! :P Maybe we can skip... :)
AW! I just saw the cutest little old lady walk out, she was precious! :)))
I am very hungry, considering it is almost 1pm, but Claire doesn't have her food yet, so I will wait for her! :) I'm so nice, lol! It looks absolutely BeAuTiFuL outside, I can't wait to start the tanning method that I've been working on! :DDD I WILL be tan this summer. No questions.
Oh my goodness gracious! I am so excited for the concert tomorrow! It's going to be a blast! I'm so glad Krissie was able to come in the end! Cassandra is going to start working today, I'm so happy she got the job! :) I'm excited to work with her! <3 I'm also very happy for Annalisa because she passed her drivers test today! Woot! Oh, speaking of woot. There's a website---

So yes. Very excited about the next coming weeks! Tomorrow is the concert, open houses and such. Then hopefully I'll be getting my license before next Friday (WOOOT!), open houses, going to Florida, hoping and praying my dad gets National Dealer of the Year for the ENTIRE United States of America! :D He's awesome! He totally deserves it! He's already it for MI, but now he has to go up against like, 50 other dealers. He's taking them DoWn!. Boo yah! When I answer the phone, I say, "First National, how may I direct your call?" I love it! :D I just had to call someone because their food has arrived! AH! I love this job! :)
Well, this is a very long RANDOM wall posting! :D I'm so excited for life! I still haven't found my list of summer things to do though, so that's a major STINKARRRR!!! Stink! Oh well, concert tomorrow, I am PuMpEd!! :) laterr!

SoOoooOoOOOOOOoooo exciteDDD!

Ok! So Kristen can now come to the Keith Urban concert with us! I'm SoSososoaosososososo excited :DDDDD Life is pretty good, trying to finish geometry, working a TON (especially this week), and working myself up to get my license! I'm just SO excited she can come! She's like my only fellow country lover music friend! I pretty much just creamed my own father in ping pong. What a beautiful thing! I made a sweet list of what I was supposed to do for summer, and I have LOST it! I can't believe it! I'm So ticked! Someone put it away somewhere when they were cleaning and it's a goner! :P

On to a new, random, quirky thang. I can't wait until I can get my braces of! Speaking of braces, my friend Claire has braces also, we both think they are VeRy stinky. :P Claire rocks, she is SoSoSoSoSoSoSOOOO cool and is a great receptionist trainer :] I totally forgot that I was supposed to meet liza downstairs for a tv show, so I better scoot. I've got work at 7:45AmAmAmAm in the morning, gotta get my sleep! :) Outta here
