Plans…

If you don’t want your perspective on life to change…stop reading this.

Every so often you hear or read something impacts you so greatly that you know you’ll never forget it.

I first heard the story of little Audrey Caroline’s life yesterday and it’s all I can think about.

What an amazing life this little one had.

I’ve tried to think about other things, but my mind just keeps running back to this story and this little girl.  It has impacted me.

The tone in my voice has changed…my attitude has changed…my perspective has changed.  It made me stop, take a breath and talk to God about what is really going on with me.  It made me break down and cry like I haven’t cried in years.  It made me feel less jaded and hard than I have felt lately.  It made me grateful.

 I want to share this story with everyone I can…that’s why I am posting this.

 Read ROCKED_TO_MY_CORE… the video is there also. (it’s about 25 minutes long so be prepared)  Todd and Angie Smith the parents of little Audrey share their story.

If you can’t watch the video read Angie’s blog here.  If you have the time, do both.

This is a story I want you to hear.

 

Kindergarten Derby

 

This is going to sound like the blondest thing I have said in a while, but…

I had no Idea that the Kentucky_Derby was such a big deal down here. 

(yes, yes…I do know that I’m actuallyin Kentucky.)

I thought that the derby was just a horse race.  The Derby is actually the end of a two week festival. (and they go all out.)

 Live and learn I guess.

David’s Kindergarten class had their annual Kentucky derby today.  It was WAY too funny.  The first few groups of racers didn’t get the concept of a race track at all and ran straight  toward the door… Forrest Gump style.  There were tons of spills and chills…ESPN seriously should have broadcast this one! At the end of their race they all got roses from the “Mayor”. (or the librarian..whateva)

I would like to say that my little jockey won his race…

(and It doesn’t count that the really fast kid that should have won didn’t because he lost his little Jockey hat and had to go back for it!)

 See if you can spot him..number 30 on the inside lane.
