Movie Weekend

This weekend I saw two new movies in the theater. On Friday I went with my cousins, Jodie, Brooke, and Jamie, and saw The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. I thought it was good and well worth my time and money. I must say though, I liked the first one better. On Saturday I took Stephen to see Speed Racer. In my opinion is should have been called Speed Snoozer! It was way to long and boring for a kids movie. It lasted over two hours and I actually fell asleep during part of it. Stephen enjoyed it, so maybe its more for the kids, but its hard for the adults to sit still.

In Remembrance

Thursday May 1st a good friends of ours, Beckki and Adam Russell, lost their sweet little 4 year old boy Garrett. I was working at the hospital a few days before and I saw Bekki in the cafeteria. I was so happy to see her as I hadn't seen her in a while. She told me that she had taken Garrett into the ER this morning because he was very lethargic and could barely even walk. At that point they did not know what it was, but was leaning towards Viral Meningitis. I gave her my best and I didn't hear from her until Friday when she gave me the shocking news that he had passed away. He had a virus that spread so rapidly that there was nothing the doctors could do. It has been very sad, but I know the Russell's are a very strong family and they will be very blessed and comforted. The funeral was on Saturday. It was sad, but at the same time it was really good and comforting knowing that Garrett will be united with his family again. He was such a special spirit that he did not have to prove himself in this life. He just came here to gain a body and bless many people around him with his cute and funny personality.


The family has made a blog for Garrett, you can view it here
