it's about time!

Well, it has taken several years, and many, many hard lessons learned, but as of June 15th, 2007, I AM OUT OF DEBT!!!!!!!!!

I know now that the errors of my past can have serious consequences on my future, and that's not a gamble I'm willing to take.

And it's just in time, too, as I always said,I wanted to be out of debt before starting a family. In just a couple of weeks, I WILL be starting my new family!

I just found a site, sponsored by the movie, “Evan Almighty,” (the sequel to Bruce Almighty) that allows you to plant a cyber tree in your – or someone else’s name.
If you plant a tree, they will feature your name on the Evan Almighty DVD (I’m guessing in the bonus features, they will have a virtual walk-through of the trees people planted).
It’s $5.00 per tree if you’re interested.

Here’s mine:

Here’s one I did for Vanessa:

And one I did up in memory of my aunt, Adela:

They are all in a single block of trees on one continent (if you go to the virtual forest, they are in the upper right island, in the bottom right area.)


Take a look around the forest, and if you’d like to add your own, do so before they’re all gone.

Prayers Please?

I received a phone call from my Mom this evening. She was sobbing, and could barely get out that her sister, my aunt, Adela,had passed away. Many of you who read my blog, also read the responses. Adela (a.k.a. Antipasto) wrote many responses...to almost every blog entry. So this entire entry is dedicated to asking you, therest of my readers, for prayersfor my family as we grieve her loss.

My Mom is trying to get to Florida to bewith her family even asI write this (7:30pm Germany Time). Please send thoughts, prayers, or whatever you do to acknowledge grief her way.

I will not fill up any more space writing about my troubles or accomplishments today, or for a while, as my family is more important to me.

You can visit some of out family blogs and livejournals at the following pages. Leave a message of support, if youfeel compelled.

I will simply say that I Love You Adela, wherever you are. The world will be less interesting without you.

As she often said, "Chow Mein."
