I read the below story today and it blew my mind… it may help to read these paragraphs again after you read the story.
This particular story is actually referring to having unrealistic expectations. But in my case, it’s the equivalent of putting trust into someone who doesn’t have the same agenda in life as you do.

I’ve written down long, long paragraphs that have looked the same… only to throw them away. I didn’t want to appear as if I’d given up.
I wanted to pursue the commitments in my heart. I chose to fight hard and never look away. I gave everything I had. For years…

Eventually I found myself feeling very distant from the people around me… even feeling alone at times. The thing that I was fighting for was draining me of hope, strength, faith…, …love.

I started taking extra measures to not lose the qualities that I believe make a person. Trying to adjust my expectations. I started crying out for help.

The only thing I have never ever done is give up. And it has cost me more than any of you will ever know.

The WoW Armory at wowarmory.com has been revamped.  My new major notes of attention would be the Recent Activity feed and the 3d model viewer.

I picked up my fourth piece of my Tier9 Set last night. I thought it looked cool. This is my main character… my Level 80 Discipline Priest, Suntao.

I returned from a family trip to Baton Rouge. It snowed while we were down there. But I heard that the weather wasn’t going to be as bad back home.

Well, when I pulled into the driveway, I noticed that all of the plants that I had left outside looked completely dead. They had apparently experienced something that the weather channel didn’t tell me. I probably just didn’t notice that it was going to get down to 21 degrees over the weekend.

Now I have to figure out what to do to save the plants… if that’s even possible.

I’m so ready to get this. Maybe because I’ve played Mario from the beginning. Maybe because it’s just awesome.

It’s still raining as I write. I don’t think it will slow anytime soon. It’s been a long day. Especially for my mom.

This morning when Bekah woke up, the first thing she asked me for was a cup of water. But the second was if we could go see gran-d. Throughout the morning she repeated this question. At lunch I decided that we would go visit mom (gran-d) after work.

But by mid-afternoon we were being issued tornardo warnings and I was thinking that travelling wasn’t a good idea. And Bekah hadn’t mentioned it in a few hours so I thought it would be ok.

She asked again around 4:30pm. The rain had slacked a bunch so I thought we would go ahead and try.

Not soon after we had started packing I called my sister. She immediately told me what had happened.

Short version:

A tornado had come through my mom’s yard a gobbled up many of the pecan trees and thrown them on the brand new Honda Accord, the fairly new AC, the front porch, and around the yard. These are big trees. The roof of the house is damaged and now leaking in multiple spots. I’m sure that it’s ruining the newly installed insulation. The new gutters are questionable. The newly repaired fense needs repair. The storage room out back is missing it’s roof. And one of the cats are missing. And the rest is unknown.

But mom’s ok.

But now she trapped at home because of downed trees and flooding.

Needless to say, we didn’t make it over there because of the weather. But I’m planning on getting over there as soon as possible. I’m not sure mom will be sleeping soundly tonight.

It’s still raining. Quite the downpour. This storm isn’t near over.
