This has been a crazy week. My heart is broken for the victims, families, and students at Virginia Tech. What a horrible tragedy this was. I have prayed for everyone involved, and I pray that God will somehow be present in this situation. This brings back memories for me. When I was a sophomore in high school there was a shooting at my school that I was witness too. This has affected me in many ways since that time. So, this week I have been having nightmares and flashbacks in my mind and I even had a panic attack last night. It didn't help that they showed video from the shooting at my high school and an interview with the killer on CBS's 48 Hours.

This took place in 1995 not 1985 as the story says. I continue to pray for all of those affected by this tragedy and I urge you to as well. May God be present with those who are hurting and bring them come kind of comfort and peace.

In other news, we sent our Big Red off for the rest of the week to his grandmama's and papa's. They are Cole's parents, but I think of them as my own parents. I have said that God has blessed me with two wonderful sets of parents to love! Cole and I are going out of town this weekend for the wedding of a friend. We and several of our friends have rented a cabin and will be staying together this weekend. Cole and I are really looking forward to it. We don't get to see these friends very often and we are looking forward to a great weekend. They are having "Mayberry Days"in the town where Cole's parents live and they are talking about entering Matthew in the Opie look-alike contest. We will see how that goes and I will post pictures if he actually goes through with it!
