back in the day

I found a cd in my car today of a mix I made a couple years ago and it had a great song that I have been jamming to the last couple days.. See if you remember

5 More..

In light of Grey's last night and something we were doing before.. here are 5 more things about me:

1. I hate scary/gory movies. Everytime Halloween rolls around and they start showing all the scary movies.. I hate it. They scare me and give me nightmares and i just don't like them. even though I know they are fake.

2. I have a big belly button. some of you may know this.. I can put a quarter in it.

3. I noticed the other morning I am a creature of habit. When I put pants on, I put the same leg in first each time, i brush my teeth the same way, I shower and dry off the same way everytime, I put my make up on in the same order.. every day.. .. like I am on autopilot or something! I tried once to put a different leg in my pants first and I almost fell over. :)

4. I am constantly worrying that I have boogers hanging out of my nose

5. In Jr High my friend and I played as many sports as we could so we could be in the yearbook a lot. They basically let everyone on the team... so I played basketball, volleyball, swimming and I even did gymnastics. I just ran down the little mat and jumped over the horse. and that was it.

Barf, Crowds, and Candy!

We had such a fun time last night.. trick or treating for the first time. In our neighborhood we made it to two whole houses in about 20 minutes. We practiced saying "trick or treat" all week and she didn't say it once to one person. Then we went to my parents neighborhood and walked among the crowds of people that leave their own neighborhoods to come to this one and make it crazy! ( I am NOT included.. my parents live there! :) Where we had to fight our way through people.. wait in line to get to the person's front door and get trampled almost by big kids. Kate couldn't make it two minutes without having to look in her bag and take out more candy and tell me she needed it opened. After arriving back at my parent's house we found the driveway was all wet. My mom explained a little boy had barfed and they had to hose it off... as Kate proceeds to walk through this in her little sock type shoes. Jim said he picked her up and the shoes smelled like puke.. he was worried there was chunks. he needs to calm down.

Jim's sister taught her "peace"... we have been trying to teach her how to say she was two years old for weeks.. and now she finally gets it.

Pervert Walking the Streets

I think some of you know I have been sitting in on a trial of a former church member who sexually assaulted 4 young girls in our church. One of which is my sister-in-laws younger sister, so this has been very close to home. We have been dealing with this "situation"for more than 2 years now and finally in September it was taken to trial in front of Judge John D. Hartigan Jr. This was a VERY difficult thing for these girls to go through. Each one of them had to get on the stand with this pervert sitting 20 feet in front of them and describe what he did to them. The prosecuting attorney did a wonderful job of showing that this man was indeed guilty. We had to wait until Oct 30th, which was 6 weeks after the trial for the judge to render his verdict. We felt pretty confident that William Gillespie would be proven guilty and would be doing some time in the state pen. As about half of our church including 3 of the 4 victims sat in the courtroom this past Tuesday our nerves were running wild. The judge went briefly through each victims testimonies and admitted that Bill did in fact touch these girls in inappropriate ways, he then continued to acquit him of all 4 counts. WHAT??? He said that there was not enough evidence to prove Bill's intent was for sexual gratification. I'm sorry, but for what other reason do you expose yourself, touch young girls in their private areas, and stroke yourself in their presence, than for sexual gratification? Since Tuesday there have been articles in the paper, one of the dad's did an interview on channel 3 last night and did another one on 1110 KFAB this morning. The media can not understand how the judge rendered such a ridiculous verdict. I am sure you can imagine the turmoil this has had on the girls, their families and also our church. I have a feeling it may not be over, but I am not really sure what the next step will be. All I do know is that William Gillespie is a pedophile and even though he may have walked "free" on Tuesday afternoon he will be dealt with when he stands in front of the Lord. He will get what he deserves. If you would like to read the article that was in the paper on Wednesday here is the link.
