Cecil is No More

Ladies and Gentlemen Cecil has finally stepped out of this world and into the next. I always thought her passing would be different than it actually was (I'll explain in a moment), but nonetheless she passed. She served me through the ladder part of high school and I believe her best years were in college. So many people enjoyed her company and great gas milage to many concerts and beach trips. Kenah also had many long rides in the back seat to Columbia. You know, she never left me stranded and was always dependable. My dad has been driving her the last four years and I'm so impressed that she made it this far, but alas she is gone and she definitely went out with a bang (almost literally)

So the story goes that my dad go up last Wednesday morning and notice a smoke smell in the air. He goes outside to find one of the garages on fire and Cecil in flames! Apparently, lightening had struck the garage the day before during a storm and we didn't know it. Fire had gained momentum all during the night and by the morning it had consumed Cecil and the garage to the unsalvagable point. :( Anyway, I'm glad my dad is ok and the house wasn't caught in the fire as well. He did loose a lot of memories in the garage so that is very sad. Needless to say, Cecil is gone and I honestly didn't think this would be her demise, but it does make for a good story. My she RIP.

Unpacking Can Be Fun





So yeah there are ways to make unpacking your stuff in a new house fun. I totally got lost in picture world tonight and since Laura's recent visit I had her in mind for most of these. First of all, ladies please take notice of the four of us at Brooke's going away to Africa party! We are so tan and YOUNG?! Jackie is the only one missing in the shot. :( I'll show love to her with another post though. Of course for the next two pics we have Kenah and I at Looking Glass. I miss my curls so much. Also I had to post this one of Kenah since Laura informed me that she is actually eight. :( I still have not gotten over this. I take her face in my hands and tell her how much I love her every night. Imgine when we have kids. Finally, I've got this last pic that Laura was asking about on her visit. She mentioned the day we bought boiled peanuts and how funny it was that we caught a shot of these two beautiful feamullets (I believe they are both female). Anyway, you get the idea. I honestly can't believe I found this shot and I wish you all could have seen the glee and excitment in my face at that moment. I almost called Allison to tell her! LOL Ok, will post again soon.
