In memory

How is everyone doing? I am posting this blog last minute and I apologize. This week has been a long one for me, and this blog is not going to be very upbeat because, I feel like writing about how I have felt this past week. One of my good friends that I grew up with lost his battle to cancer. His name was Nathan George and he was a student at LSUS. He was diagnosed with leukemia September 2009, and was pretty much in the hospital until he passed last Saturday. I have a close nit group of friends that I have gone to school with since we were in kindergarten, and Nathan was one of them. It is still hard to grasp this feeling; I just do not understand why his life was cut so short. He was a good person with high goals in life, it just doesn’t make since. The only since I can make of it is that he is no longer in pain, and he was very strong in his faith, so I am 100% sure he is in a better place watching down on us. Life is so precious and it’s sad that it takes times like this to snatch you back to reality and open your eyes to what is really important in life. I almost feel guilty now complaining about the things in my life because it has no comparison to what his family is going through. Everyone just keep the George family in your prayers and have a good day.
RIP Nathan Allen George~August 25, 1988-November 6, 2010

Weekend get away

     I am glad the weekend is here, almost. I just have to make it through seven hours of work in the morning; then I am hitting the roads heading to Baton Rouge. I used to go to all the LSU home games, but I have been extra busy this year and have not been able to make it down south yet. Some of my friends and I decided that the LSU vs Alabama game would be a good one to go down and tailgate and see some friends that I have not seen in a long time. We have been planning this trip since football season started, so I am glad this weekend is finally here, I need a good weekend away from school and work.
     How was everyone’s Halloween? I only went to one party on Friday, I went as "Captain Morgan" haha, it was fun. Then on Sunday, some friends and I cooked out and watched the Saints game while passing out candy to the trick-or-treaters. Though, we only had about ten different people knock on the door, it was a different experience; considering I have never handed candy out before, I am usually out doing something rather than sitting at the house on that night. Everyone have a good one!
