I'm shakin up, but I'm ok... I want to say thanks...

Well I just had a very scary experience Last night... and feel that I need to show some special appreciation for some people. First I thank the Lord for watching over me and helping me out in a major time of need, and answering my prayers immediately. Second I am lucky that even though it can be dangerous driving fast, I'm so thankful for the fact that my dad being a real, pro race car driver for a short time and my brother for his experience in racing, taught me how to drive. And be able to handle a vehicle well enough that even if I'm going very fast I can stay in control of it. Third I feel gratitude for my neighbors son for being in the right place and the right time to help me, even though he didn't realize it until I went over and thanked him... This is what happened...... Last night I drove down to the fabric store to buy some stuff for a costume I wore to a party tonight. About a little before I was half way home I noticed a car somewhat following me through traffic on the freeway... Not unusual for freeway driving... when someone wants to get through, and they see a car making their way through, they tend to follow right? Well, as I was exiting the freeway I noticed they were exiting as well.... but then... I realized that they were trying to follow my exact movements and when someone is doing that... they are usually following someone... every time I tried to pass a car and get around them and in front of them this car did the same... As I was coming to a light, I pulled in the right lane knowing that it was going to end right after the light, so that I could get in front of a truck, they tried doing the same however they obviously didn't know the lane was going to end because they had to hurry back over to the left lane. I took a turn onto a back road... they followed... I turned onto state street and weaved in and out of cars... they followed.... of course half of this time I was speeding trying to put some space between us... they kept up however... I was getting my phone out and getting ready to call it in and request some help.... however, as I pulled to a four way stop, with them almost rear-ending me, I knew that there was somewhere that had a lit parking lot where a lot of cars would be and I could possibly hide... however it would be tough trying to get away from them... This is when my neighbors son pulled behind me turning left at the four way, in a truck with a trailer, he was going somewhat slow... so it gave me time to take off like a bat out of hell and take this random chance that I just was blessed with to get away... Luckily... I was able to hide among the cars, and I waited and I watched as the truck slowly drove forward with the car right on their tail.... Also luckily, they didn't see me... but I could tell the whole time they were driving down the street, they were weaving back and forth trying to look around the truck... when the truck pulled off to turn off, they sped off like none other trying to catch up to me... however coming up to another four way.. they sat there for a good minute or so flipping and changing their blinkers... trying to figure out which way to go... now granite they might not have been following me, however I follow that hard to believe with every turn I made they made, down back road after back road..... at speeds that I wish I hadn't been driving... So... I just kinda feel like its safe to assume they were following me... This went on for a good like 15 maybe 20 mins... I'm not sure why they were following me, who they were or what they wanted. I'm just grateful that I was able to get away and get home safely. After I got home I ran next door to say thanks to my neighbor as I walked up I seen two guys unloading the truck so I asked ok was Norm driving or was someone else... They said Randy was. And then he walked out and I said thanks and told him what he had done for me and how grateful I was to him... the other guys and him proceeded to tell me that the whole time that other car was following them and riding their tail... they were discussing it and were ready to stop and kick some butt or whatever... And then they realized why they were following so close and trying to get around them or get them to go faster. They were very thankful that they were able to help me out... Well... that's pretty much the story... and those who helped me out thank you SO much, you have no idea what it means to me!!! Well I better head to bed, so I'll talk to you all later!!! Loves to all!!!! ~Kim

My Surprise that I found :) MY FIANCE AND FRIEND ARE AWESOME!!

First off I have to say that my friend Weston (one of my best friends), and my amazing fiance' Brady, ARE FREAKING AWESOME!!! They have supposedly been in contact for awhile without my knowledge working on a surprise for me. First I'll give you the low down and the story of how I see how it all came together, with a little input from one of Weston's experiences... and then I'll tell you how I found my surprise and my reaction..................... I guess a few weeks ago when Weston and I were hanging out he was able to Brady's number off my phone. He supposedly called him and they have been in cahoots getting this surprise ready for some time now... First step, Weston asked me, "If Brady were a stuffed animal what would he be?" well I automatically said either some kind of bear or some kind of Dog.... Let me think on it and get back to you. (I did ask him why and he said idk just a random question... RIGHT.... lol) The next day I chose to send Brady a message asking him what he thought he'd be knowing that I wouldn't get the answer till later that night... before I got the answer... I finally came to the decision that he'd be a Panda. (For several different reasons) Well as I was texting Weston back with my final answer, I received a message from Brady saying,"I'd be a Panda" my response was just "Great minds think alike Babe, that was my answer...:)" Well about a week and a half ago I was hanging with Weston and we were driving in his car, I seen a piece of paper that had Brady's last name on it and I was able to snatch it... I found his address on this piece of paper... I questioned Weston about it... and he said he was saying he got it so that he could write him a letter warning him if he ever hurt me then he'd hear from it from Weston... So I forgot and let it go... :) wow yeah I know I should have seen it... haha. So... Last night I was getting texts from Weston saying how cool Brady is, and he wouldn't explain why... and then after I was done at the salon he called and asked if I wanted to chill... I said no I should probably go home and take care of my mom, she's sick... So he put this fake guilt trip on me saying fine just go home and go to bed... lol and then he was very adamant about me going to bed... and then slipped and said something that he wouldn't have known unless he had been at my house... So I went home and went to my room On my Bed I found this...... My very own: Brady in a Panda form, and guess what?? He even sings and talks to me!!!!! I started BAWLING!!! It means SO much to me!! And I owe them both for it, neither one of them knows how much it really means to me.. Maybe one day... but we shall see... So Weston's little info for me was how he sent the voice recording box to Brady and Brady recorded it, and sent it back to him... Then Weston took it to Build a Bear and had it put in a little Panda in an army uniform. But as he was doing this all of the employees stopped what they were doing to help him because they thought that what he was doing for his friends fiance' who is one of his best friends (that'd be me) really needed something from his friend who was gone with the military... So they had been working together on it for a little while... Supposedly they all though that it was the cutest thing in the world that he was doing for his friends and being the middle person.. Which I have to agree it is way cool and very very cute!! Well... Here's a pic of me and my Panda. :) My little Brady. :) At least now I have something from him and that is named after him, that I can hug and squeeze and show off to people... I'm actually going to two wedding receptions tomorrow... maybe I'll take my panda and introduce my friends to my Fiance' :) Yeah that's what I'll do. :) hehe ok well I better head I've got stuff to do.. Just so you know everything's going great! I'm working a TON of extra hours at the salon so that I can get done early. :) That way I can marry my amazing man and move to California with him. :) I'm VERY excited for that!!!! Well I'll talk to you all later! Loves!!!

So....

Ok so I admit it... I'm so Not the best at keeping up with a blog lol... at least I post when I can... So one of my past posts talked about my certificate and letter from the Army/Brady, for being an Army Spouse and I said I'd post some pictures... well I've finally set up a little tribute thing on my piano for my Soldier. :) Here are some of those pictures for you... :) Spouse lapel Pin, pic of my Hero, Certificate of Appreciation, Letter from the Army, Sticker :) I love my Hero, my soldier, my fiance', my Bestest-Friend EVER, and most importantly, my soon-to-be Eternal Companion. :) Brady I want you to know how much I appreciate all you do for not only me, but for our country.

Seeing isn't always believing, but it's sure nice!!! :)

So... :) I've had the opportunity to see my VERY HANDSOME MAN!!! On the computer a couple times... Once while he was at the airport and once last night... Can I just say I LOVE HIM!!! He's so amazing!!! It's really nice to be so blessed with technology now days. Before you only had letters... before that, telegrams, and before that Nothing!! I'd DIE!! I've decided that the Lord is a VERY nice Lord, he blesses me way to much!! :) Not only do I get letters, I get to talk to Brady on the phone, and now I get to see him and talk to him on the computer as well!! Of course none of this beats having him right next to me holding my hand or putting his arm around me... But for now, it's awesome!! Last night while I was talking to him we were able to pray together like we would before he left. And it was neat to be able to kneel where I was and put my comp in front of me. While he said the prayer I placed my hands in front of me as if he were kneeling with me and we were taking each other's hands and bow our heads. It was really nice to be able to say amen, open my eyes and see him looking at me at the same time. I got this rushed feeling of he's SO close to me I can almost feel him!! I wanted to give him a hug SO bad!!! However He'll get LOTS and LOTS of hugs later on to make up for it! (promise) After that I got this idea that even though we both still had our work to do, we could still have the chat opened... so that while we both worked on what we needed to it was still as if he were sitting right next to me and visa versa. It was really NICE!! And before I went to bed it brought up the hymn Count Your Blessings to mind. It was really nice. He's really nice!! :) So That's a great GREAT blessing that I am receiving right now!! Being able to see my soldier, (even if it is a little bit blurry for both of us...) and hear his voice, puts a smile on my face that is not easily broken. I want Brady to know how much I love him! He's a great guy and a great inspiration to me. I always find myself trying to better myself in all that I do. And when I think about it and ask myself why I am, it always leads to one answer, one word, one thought, one person, my one and only Love! BRADY! He makes me want to continue to better myself so that I can feel as though I deserve him, more so than I feel right now... He is such an amazing man, in all that he does. He's a gentleman, he's a missionary(yes still spreading the gospel even though in the army now), he's a great example, he's the bestest friend, and he's the one and only man I want to spend the rest of Eternity with. He's a wonderful person in an All around kinda way, if ya know what I mean!!! I love him in everyway that I know how!!!! Hopefully this will be an ok picture for me to post of him... It's one of the more recent ones that I have... I just love him so much!!! So one of my appointments today canceled... so one of my friends that goes to school with me came up and said... I think we should cut and change your hair... And mind you I've been hearing this for oh...3 and a half months... yes since I started!!! lol And I've changed it a couple times... for myself and for a couple of them to quit pestering... However when Haley said it today it was different and I actually wanted a change and needed something different so we did something different... I'll post 2 pics lol... One that's a normal one and one funny one that we took. :) Hope you like it!! Comment on it please!! It's different then I've ever done and I need some feed back!!! :) Love to all g2g ~KIM
