A little Update.....

There aren't much to update but here are a few. A few weeks ago I posted about the couple at our Church that were adopting a little boy from the Ukraine. They were able to bring home Roma last Thursday! They were at church yesterday. He is very happy to be here with his new family! He is so cute!

This Thursday Chris is supposed to report to Wright-Patterson Air Force base. He will be there for 4 years. He's looking for an off base housing now.

Then yesterday Pete and his brother Paul went and got saved at church. I can't really explain this too well cause I wasn't brought up in the religion that he was but it is a really big deal I guess.

That is about it for my update!
Take care!

Aaron's 499

Here is my race recap for the Dega race!

Joe Nemechek got the pole on Saturday. So he and Tony Stewart lead the field down to the green flag. One Lap 1 Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch draft together and Tony leads the first lap.

On Lap 5 Reed Sorenson pulled his car in the garage due to a blown engine. That did not bring out a caution due to the fact that Reed was able to get his car on pit road without dropping anything on the track.

Lap 19 is when we had our first caution of the day. Matt Kenseth blew a tire and hit the wall. On lap 20 pit road opened and all the leaders pit. That handed the lead to Ken Schrader on lap 21. After leading a lap Ken pits and Tony retakes the lead.

On lap 34 Tony's teammate Denny Hamlin takes the lead from him. That lasted until lap 39. On lap 39 the grandstands came alive as Dale Jr. took the lead. That lasted until lap 46 when Jeff Burton took the lead. Then on lap 47 Brian Vickers took the lead. Ya there is a lot of lead changes in this race! It's a restrictor plate race so you'll have that. On lap 51 Paul Menard took the lead. On lap 53 Juan Montoya took the lead. Just on lap later Denny Hamlin retakes the lead. On lap 56 Ryan Newman takes the lead from Denny. On lap 57 Kevin Harvick took the lead only to have Denny take the lead back a lap later. On lap 61 Dale Jr. Took the lead right back.

Lap 61 green flag pit stops start happening. Dale Jr. pits on lap 64 so the lead was taken by Tony Stewart who pitted a lap before Dale Jr. On lap 82 Jimmie Johnson takes the lead. Only to have Tony Stewart take it away a lap later.

On lap 88 the #88 driven by Dale Jr. took the lead. Kinda cool huh! But then on lap 89 Tony reclaimed the lead. Only to have Dale Jr. take it back on lap 90!

On lap 103 the second round of green flag pit stops start happening. On lap 106 Tony beats everyone off pit road and is scored as the leader. On lap 110 Dale Jr. took the lead back. Only to have Denny Hamlin take it away.

Then on lap 116 Carl Edwards blew a right side tire and hit the wall. That brought out only our second caution of the day. Everyone hit pit road on lap 117 except for Regan Smith. He lead lap 118. Regan then pitted and Dale Jr. took the lead back.

On lap 126 Jeff Gordon was able to pass his teammate and lead a lap. On lap 127 Denny Hamlin took the lead back. Only to loose it to Dale Jr. on lap 128. On lap 133 Elliott Sadler took the lead. Then Dale Jr. took it back on lap 134 only to loose it on lap 135 to Elliott Sadler. That only lasted one lap then Dale Jr took the lead back. Then on lap 137 Tony Stewart reclaimed the lead. Then on lap 138 David Stremme took the lead. He then lost it to Elliott Sadler on lap 139. That is when Elliott lost the lead to his teammate Kasey Kahne on lap 140. At lap 141 Dale Jr took the lead again just to swap it with Tony Stewart on lap 142. Then Dale Jr. was able to pass Tony yet again on lap 143.

Lap 143 is when the 3rd caution of the day comes out. Tony Stewart had a tire blow and scraped the wall. Patrick Carpentier also gets into the wall. On lap 144 the pits are open and all the leaders pit. A.J. Allmendinger stays out to lead lap 145. Once A.J. pits on lap 146 Denny Hamlin takes the lead back. On lap 149 Dale Jr. takes the lead back from Denny. Then on lap 150 Denny takes the lead back. Lap 151 Brian Vickers takes the lead from Denny. On lap 152 Paul Menard leads again. That lasted till lap 154 when David Stremme took the lead only to have Denny take it away on lap 155.

On lap 160 the 4th caution comes out. Paul Menard goes for a spin and slides through the infield grass after some help from Juan Montoya. Paul kept his car off the track and didn't hit anything so the race resumed on lap 163 with Denny still leading.

Then on lap 164 Brian Vickers brought out the caution when he lost his rear quarter pannel. On lap 168 Denny once again lead the field to the green flag. Then on lap 173 Kyle Busch took the lead. On lap 173 the big one happend. Bobby Labonte gets turned sideways and heads up the track. He collects Tony Stewart, Martin Truex Jr., Kurt Busch and Jamie McMurray. Truex and Stewart have the most damage. Dale Earnhardt Jr. has some rear damage as well as he was the original car that got loose but was able to collect it. Tony and Martin both take their cars to the garage.

On lap 179 Michael Waltrip took the lead. Then on lap 180 the caution came out due to debris from Bobby LaBonte's car. On lap 184 Jimmie Johnson took the lead from Michael. On lap 185 Kyle took the lead. Then on lap 188 the caution comes out as Jamie McMurray spun and collected a few cars as well. That happened on the white flag lap so the race ended under caution!

Congrats to Kyle and his team!

RIP Uncle John

So today was the funeral for Uncle John. It went well! He was a great guy that had no enemies. He would do anything for you. That was just the type of guy he was. He was a simple man that was happy as long as his kids were around. They were the love of his life. As his daughter said "he never met anything that could bring him down or beat him....we now know that there was one thing that was finally able to beat him!" He died of brain cancer. Now he's finally able to be reunited with my Aunt (his wife)that passed away in 2000.

The one thing that I wasn't prepared for was the fact that my other Uncle showed up. I haven't spoken to or seen him in almost 7 years. You could tell that he was a little uncomfortable. He talked to me and said that he wants to keep in touch. I'm not sure how that will play out! For those that know me you know what I'm talking about. For those that are lost.....He is my ex mother's brother. I don't talk to my ex mother. She left my father 8 years ago and things got nasty to say the least. She decided that cause I stood by my father that she didn't care about me. I haven't talked to her in about 7 years.

Well thanks for letting me vent a little!

Take care!!

I love you Uncle John!!!!

This is a very sad post for me. Today just before I left work I had a call, it was about my Uncle. This afternoon my Uncle John passed away. He was just in the hospital about a month ago and I went to see him quite a few times. We had a great few visits. I asked him everytime what was wrong and all he said was that he was having headaches and was seeing double. All he told me was that they didn't know what was wrong with him. I found out thought that he knew what was wrong. He's known for a while I guess. He passed away after battling brain cancer. He was the last famliy memeber that actually cared about me from my mom's side of the family. The last thing that we said to each other was "I love you". I have learned never to take that for granted! Always let others know that that they are loved! I love you Uncle John may you be at peace with Auntie Heidi now!!

Thank you!!!!

I just wanted to stop by and say thanks to Hilary for this awsome blog layout! I love it! Let me know what you all think!
