I got the Gallery back up and running. I had restart it and boy do I have LOTS of pictures to upload. Im doing them little by litte at a time. I also used a templete that I downloaded. The pictures are more important than the layout, so Im gonna keep it that way. Easier on me….

We got the Christmas Tree up this morning. Ill take a picture and post it in the gallery sometime today. I’ve only bought like 3 presents for Mikayla so far (Hokey Pokey Elmo, Singing Carebear and an Little Mommy baby doll made by Fisher Price). I wanna get her more but money is really tight and I dunno about what Im gonna do about everyone else. Ive already gave my Mom hers. She wanted 6 months added to her Webshots so I got that for her.

I was just reading some news articals. Just how many times a week do I come across a news story that says “that kind of crime is unusal here”, “its shocking to have happend here” “this is a very nice and guiet neihborhood.” I guess some people think just becase they live in a nice guiet neighborhood that crime is not gonna happen there. Crime is everywhere people. It doesnt matter if your rich, poor or what neihborhood you live in, its gonna happen.

I live in the bad part of town. Last March one of my neihbors was shot in mid-day on a Sunday (which happened to be Mama’s birthday). They havent found his killer yet. That freaks me out. Being that I’ve only lived here since last Nov. We’ve already gone through the idea of moving…..but we’ve decided to stay.

Well Veryblessed.net is back up and running. I went to visit my site the other day and all of my index pages we’re changed. Since I didnt save my stuff, I wasnt able to replace them. So I thought I should try to rebuild this site and also get a new host.

Well this layout is the Winter edition, even though its not winter here yet. It’ll probably be up for a month or so, or until I get another idea for another layout.

Last Sunday night Chris and I were Babtized and we are now new members of a church. For those of you who may live in Rock Hill / York, SC area and have cable the baptisum (sp?) will be on channel 2 or 21 at 1pm. I didnt know til after that It was to be televised. Hmm…..I wondered why the Pastor has all those video cameras. I thought he liked taping his services, but they get televised which is pretty cool.

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! I did….

My hometown really needs a Target. Ive been looking at Target.com for like two months now and I really wanna go shop there. I cant order anything cause I have no credit card and Chris wont let me use is checkcard. Ive heard rumors that there gonna build one here but I dont know how true that is. I love there Baby/Toddler clothes. There so cute and not too expensive.

When I moved to this town in 1987 all they had here was a McDonalds, Hardees, KFC, Bi-LO, Eckard, some store called T G & Y. Walmart was bulit a few months or so after we moved here. Then in late 1998, the Walmart Supercenter was opened. Which is where Chris works (hopefully this week well get some good news on an Dept. Assit Manger job he applied for). Over the 1990′s they’ve added a new Post Office, 2+ new Banks,Subway, Wendys, and a Burger King.

Now in 2003′ there about to open the new Lowes. Just in time for Chris and I to start home repair. There adding a Steakhouse. Dont know if we’ll ever have the money to eat there, its one of those expensive ones.

Our little town is gettin bigger and bigger. Im happy about that. Now all the need is a BestBuy, Target, and a Taco Bell. That would make me (and alot of other people) happy. Im tired of having to go to the next town or two to visit these stores. Which I never get to do unless I beg someone to take me.

Ok im gonna stop babbleing about my hometown.
