Brother needs prayers

My older brother Doug fell off a cliff this morning and is in the hospital trying to recover. He fell 50 feet and had serious injuries to his head and other parts of his body. Thankfully he had a helmet on and is still alive. However, I think he may need some prayers to recover. May all your prayers be with him today and until he can return home to his family.

A 32-year-old man suffered serious head and shoulder injuries today when he fell about 50 feet while ice climbing in North Cheyenne Cañon Park, Colorado Springs Fire Capt. Dean Folkerts said.
The climber and a companion were trying to retrieve a rope at Silver Cascade Falls, above Helen Hunt Falls, when the man fell down a series of slabs, Folkerts said.
The injured man was able to walk, and his companion was trying to help him down the trail when rescue crews arrived, Folkerts said. He was taken to Memorial Hospital.

Reuniting with and embarassing good friends

So this last week I got in touch with a friend I have been

trying to find for years. Finally she found me. One of my

best friends from about 6th grade through 9th grade

found me on Facebook. Christina Martindale was like

a part of my family for years. We all considered her

a sister and shared many great times together. After I

moved away from Clovis, California we lost touch.

Now after all these years we are finally able to

communicate again. I have missed you dearly good

friend. This post is in memory of you.

Hope you enjoy all the great shots!

The one above is of me and my friends on my 13th

birthday at a place called "R" Ranch. It was a fun

place and we had great times there. Christina is the

blonde beauty and Shannon is the one with the crazy

hair and Missy is the one with the dark hair. What a

fun birthday it was that year. I think I even kissed a

hot boy named Mario up there. Go me!

These pictures are at my friend Katie's house
when I moved away from Clovis. That was a
fun but sad night for me.

These are some random pictures I found in my
album of my friends. There is a black and white one
with my friends Becky, Sarah, Jessica and myself
from the Fresno Fair. There is a hot one of me and
Christina from a summer bash at Clovis Lakes water
park. There are some formal pictures from when I
was already gone and a couple of hotty school
pictures. Isn't it awful to have to look back on those
great school photos? Love it!
Here are a couple of pictures of me and Sarah
and then one of Sarah Story and Jon Book, I think
when they were dating for a short period. The
other one is of Nicole Omphroy, Jessica Alberta,
Katie, Becky Glenn and me at the lake one great
summer day in Clovis. I was skinny once!
Hope you enjoyed these as much as I did looking
back at them. I will always remember the bond
we shared and love you forever. XOXO Christina!
