Surfer dreams

Warning: Naked butt action below

I'm sure most of you know that Paul Walker died on Saturday in a tragic car crash in CA but in case you haven't heard yet - it's sadly true. My sister text me and I was hoping so badly it was just a hoax. I have no idea why it makes me so sad when people I personally have never met die but it does. Paul Walker was my dream guy when I was a teenager; blond hair, blue eyes, a tan surfer body, and the way he talked... oh how you made me fall in love with you. Varsity Blues, She's All That, Joyride, The Skulls -- those were my movies. I remember going to see the very first Fast & Furious with a friend and getting in my Mustang GT afterwards then speeding out of the parking lot like an idiot.

He was so pretty. I enjoy pretty looking men and damnit he was a really good looking man. The older he got the better he kept getting and after searching news articles online I just found out he has a 15 year old daughter! He was so low key, such a nice normal guy and in Hollywood that's pretty rare. Why must the good die young? I know the older I get the more and more people I know will die because that's just how life is but it doesn't make it any less sad. My heart goes out to his family and the people that actually knew him. I can't count how many times I kissed my pillow at night pretending it was him. Oh Paul, I hope you're surfing in heaven... shirtless and goldenly tan forever.

 RIP

Way too much sadness.

I can't believe that Finn is gone. I'm a GLEE lover and Cory Monteith feels like someone I actually know. I'm not sure why I get so sad when something like this happens... I literally cried when Aaliyah died and I didn't even follow her at the time. When such talented people die so young and so sudden it just breaks my heart. I know that Cory had issues with substance abuse but I just never saw this coming. When it popped up on my news feed I immediately started googling hoping this was some kind of mistake. I can't help but think, "What is Lea Michele going through right now?" She is one of the most talented people I can think of in Hollywood and my heart aches for her sadness. His family, his fans, everyone who he made happy is hurting and even though he is just another celebrity... he will be missed so much. I have no more words... I'll never understand why I get so sad but I am.


He was only 31. My husbands age... too young.





1982-2013 RIP

Out of the Country

Where am I Ehhhh!? We are in Canada!

 

All year we have had a trip to planned to go to Victoria, B.C. during Thanksgiving in order to escape the holiday shopping and the holiday in general that we wouldn't be spending with our families. I'm not really into Thanksgiving food so it's actually the perfect time to do a little traveling since we both got two days off this year; however, there are a lot of things going on right now with the most important one being the passing of Chad's Grandfather which happened yesterday morning about one hour after we had stepped onto our boat heading to Victoria. I won't go into much detail but he has been sick for awhile and last weekend was admitted into the hospital because his lungs collapsed and he couldn't breathe. The doctors prepared the family for the worst but we prayed and prayed and were really hoping he could make it until we got to see him again at Christmas. However, we are firm believers that everything happens in God's time and what's supposed to happen did. It absolutely breaks my heart that we ended up out of the country when this happened...needless to say our 3 hour boat ride was filled with tears but also fond memories and relief that he is not in pain anymore. Earlier this year we were preparing for this news but amazingly enough he got better and thankfully we did get to see him just 3 short weeks ago. I am so thankful that Chad got to see him and a huge part of me thinks that just maybe he held out to see Chad one last time. I know that I prayed for that every day and I believe my prayers were answered.

 

I'm going to miss him so much and I know that Chad and everyone else in the family is going to miss him so much more. I just have to keep remembering that this is the course of life and that he is in a much better place looking over us right now. The funeral is right away and it will be held tomorrow afternoon in Mississippi. As you probably realized we won't be able to make it back in time. I wish so badly that we could be there to say goodbye and so I could be there for the family. Right now though I am focusing all of my energy on taking care of my husband who is being incredibly strong with all of this. I'm so thankful to be apart of this family that Granddaddy made and even though Christmas will be a lot different this year I can't wait until we come home and get to see you guys again... only 4 short weeks.

 

I hope everyone had time to enjoy their family this week and that each one of you realize all that you have to be thankful for. I will be posting more updates and I also have a 22 Things I am Thankful for coming up on the blog but as you know...life sometimes has other plans for us.

 

RIP Granddaddy we love you so much and I swear I can hear the train whistle blowing as you pulled into heaven and that sweet laugh as you tell us all how much you love us.
