funny thing
i only signed on here tonight because i was waiting for some things to print for D-Now this weekend (more to come later). and has found it funny that someone that i was raised with/right up the road with thinks they are so "fabulous" that now you have to be invited to read their stuff, but yet can still read mine, welp! not anymore! can we say,"block"? good! have a great night! hopefully i will be back monday with some amazing updates on me,my life,and upcoming stuffs like sister's baby shower! ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!! it's a week away! now for Disciple Now! GPS 2010!!!!!!
busy days and bloggy firsts
folks, i promise! one day i'm going to figure out how to quickly post from my crack blackberry. the only thing about that is, i can't do the fun stuff! like linking, and such. or so i don't think i can't.
so now, yes. i'm a busy,busy,busy,busy gal these days. but i'm still reading your posts! i think everyone is riding in the same boat with me, because it seems like everyone is slowing down on posting and apologizing for the lack of posts. i thought that after college my life wouldn't wait til mid-end august before "normal" took over again. but i'm wondering if that's the case? hmmm...
ok, so thanks to the fabulous Meg, i'm now hooked on Etsy. before now, i have avoided like a plague! i knew what it would cost in the long run! HAHAHA!
i've been wanting to add some new things to my bath room and add a new color in my bedroom. i'm thinking this little beauty here will help with that!
so another first, i just joined in my first blog give away! i'm almost tempted to tell you not to, but i love competition. so go on to twopoundsawk aka Meg, and join in the fun!

grieving
...is not something i do much. grief is something no one wants to ever have to think about, let alone go through.
i've always said when accidents occur, "they're accidents. no one planned this/that." that's my way of saying, it's over now on to fry the bigger fish.
i never knew it would hurt this much.
the sad thing is. well, you might need the back story first, so here goes for the 1,000,000,000 time since late last saturday night. . .
my cousin,TA, was riding a horse along side his 12 year old "step son" and a 15 year old guy last saturday night. they had been at a 4th of july celebration at city park in new hope. they went the longer,yet less popular traffic way, to the barn to put the horses up for the night. a young man, who we all know (small towns ...) wasn't exactly go the speed the road calls for, and was looking at the kids on the lighter colored horses that had gotten off the side of the road. he never saw TA on his older horse, or the fact that his lights had either blinded the mare so she couldn't move, or had her "spooked" or scared that she couldn't move. or possibly a combination of it all. his stepson,TM, said TA tried and tried to get her to move and she wouldn't budge. (yes, the 12 and 15 year olds witnessed every.little.detail!) the truck couldn't stop and hit the horse and TA. TA flew up about 20 feet and landed on his head. he went over the truck, which resulted in broken ribs (on the left side), a skull fracture (which,oddly enough was not a big deal), broken nose, and bruises and scratches. the fact that he landed on his head is the reason of grief for not only my family, but for the driver's family too. loooonnnngggggg story shortened: he had his spleen and gall bladder removed, hernia repaired, and internal bleeding stopped in surgery at 230 sunday morning. the doctor said that had they not got him in that surgery then within 30 minutes he would've been gone. at 730 sunday morning we got the call that he was having to have brain surgery. he had bleeding on the brain and to much swelling. they were hoping he would start to recover and come to sunday or monday. sunday evening, he moved a leg and "gripped" a hand. those were all body reflexes, something the brain did not tell him to do. i've said it before, and i'll say it again, i have a large,loving,caring,forgiving,unconditional loving,christian family. i'm so blessed,we all are. we've all been at the hospital at some point from late,late,late saturday through wednesday afternoon. tuesday, the family was told that a decision had to be made within 2-3 days. wednesday morning, the dr's did a blood flow test. there was no blood flow from his neck up. his injuries were few,as far as broken bones, but the accident killed his brain. his brother, SA (who i work with and go to church with. we're really close friends despite the 20 year age difference) and his parents decided for him to be an organ donor. so, several people got kidneys,a heart,an eye, and so on.
TA's visitation is tonight and funeral tomorrow.it's incredibly sad. i'm not sure what's more sad - loosing him (even though he was the most distant one of us) or seeing his parents and brother grieve.
so please, continue to pray for my family.

prayers
hello all! i hope you all have enjoyed your Independence day weekend!
i know i haven't been around for a while, but this time will be brief. i will be back soon. today, i'm simply asking for prayers.
i have a large family, and i love them all. we're very close too, which is different these days.
one of my dad's first cousins was riding a horse saturday night and was hit by a vehicle. he has 2 children who are a few years younger then me (and are estranged from him - sad,but true) and a 5 year old daughter.
bottom line - he may not make it. it's not looking good. so please, pray for my family and especially him. God knows who you'll be talking about, so please. take a minute,if you don't mind, and thank God for our free country and whatever else you may need to thank Him for or ask Him for, and then add us in.
Thanks!
With a prayerful, wondering heart,
Busy Britt
