NASCAR

As some of you may know, Shawn has got me hooked on NASCAR. Both me and Harold joined his Fantasy NASCAR team. We started out with about 12 people and finished out the season on an entirley new team with six people. I have learned a lot during the racing season which goes from February to November. I never realized that there was so much involved, I always thougt it was pretty silly, all those cars just going round and round. Shawn finished 2nd, Harold 3rd and me 4th in on our team. I had a real treat when I was in Ft. Lauderdale at a confrence. Me and my freind Sharon attended the last race of the season at Homestead Miami Speedway! We watched the Nationwide race from the speed club at the track. My favorite driver "Carl Edwards" won. I can't wait till next year now that I know a little bid more about the sport.

Jessie's Accident ~ July 16, 2011

So thankful Jessie and Amanda are ok.....This is why I lay awake at night and worry myself sick! A care rearended the white SUV who was stopped in the turn lane, the SUV did a 360 thought the middle of the intersection, Jessie was stopped waiting to make a right hand turn and the SUV slammed into her backwards. The car that caused the accicent kept going, sideswiped another care then hit a car headon in the oncoming trafic who was pushed into a truck behind her. Six cars in total,five of which most likley totaled and thankfuly only one person was taken to the hospital. Tell your kids every day how much you love them because you just never know when crazy stuff like this happens! I LOVE YOU JESSIE, NIKIE, KYLE and HAROLD!
