THe next ten minutes would be life altering. High school students love the thrill of a Friday night football game, and the last minute touchdown to win the game made the night even better. We all rushed to the center of the field to figure out where to go for an after-game dinner. Most of us wanted to go to Taco Mac, but we knew the wait for a table was going to take to long so we decided to try Cheeky. I was in such a rush to leave the field and get to Cheeky that I quickly called my mom to…

The live music event I attended was a Flamenco music featured at a Pan-latin American restaurant here in Houston. The music was performed by Guillermo Serpas, a Nuevo Flamenco guitarist in Houston whose unique style combines a fusion of Spanish Guitar, Latin Jazz, and World Music. In this restaurant there are two main areas and the environment of each varies drastically. Inside if the restaurant you will find a bar and a very small stage, however this stage was not in use when I attended. And…

First, I am thankful for Insulin. I am thankful for insulin because 4 years ago on my brothers 18th birthday i found out that my body didn't make it anymore.

We all have our different quirks about us so that is why we are such great friends. There was this one time we were driving down spook rode in…

The Death of Kermit It was a windy fall day. Kermit was sipping tea and watching Bob Ross. There was a knock at the door. Kermit carefully put down the tea, and walked over. He looked outside, and didn’t see anything. Then, a screech came from a window upstairs. Kermit followed, and for a split second, he saw a hand hide. He was unsure of what he just saw. Kermit’s heart beat faster, his blood pressure rising. His palms were sweating and he tried to resume Bob Ross. He couldn’t stop…

Go-Kart Catastrophe There I was, flying around the corner, going as fast as the machine I was driving would take me. Up around the corner was a sharp left turn. I thought the wheel would turn more than it did, but it did not and I screeched around the corner going a lot farther to the right than I would’ve wanted. It was so far off course that I missed the turnoff and I was now on a headed straight on a collision course. I was going to crash. ❊❊❊ I travelled a lot as a kid. It was never far…

Nobody enjoys moving, I know I don’t, it’s so difficult, not just physically but emotionally. When my husband Adan and I moved to Mozambique, I was so excited but moving away from my friends and family was so difficult, until this day my heart feels like it has been beaten and burned-out. I’ve had to adjust to the new ways of life and accept it. I love the atmosphere in Mozambique; the people are so warm and welcoming. From our new home, we could see the beautiful beach. Every Sunday morning,…

He ate all the honey. Then he took Thomas and put him in the van. He took off…

In three short hours I would be leaving the two most adorable, freckled faced, red headed girls on my way to Kuwait. With this in mind, I sat there in the dim bedroom, gazing at the dark wall questioning the decision that I made to join the Army. I knew that in less than three hours, I would be boarding a plane, sitting in an uncomfortably hard seat, fighting the person next to me for elbow room on a tiny arm rest. However, other things were still going through my mind: How am I to explain to…
