Introducing the Young Family

I have always wanted to be a writer and I am a scrapbook fanatic so I decided I would start a blog. That's one way to force myself to write every day. One day before I die I plan to write a novel. Until then this blog will have to do. Nothing much is going on in my life right now. Just work and taking Aaliyah to school and to the mall and over to a friends house. You get the picture. I am Aaliyah's official chauffer. Okay since going to school to be a court reporter my spelling also stinks. Anyway just wanted to say hello and let you know what is going on in my life right now. Take care and God Bless! Mama Young

My Friend Sandra

Sandra and I have been friends for over 25 years. I met her at Northeastern University when we were taking classes to get a paralegal certificate and we have been friends ever since. People in our class thought we knew each other for years when in reality we had just met. She has been there for me through thick and thin and is more like a sister than a friend. Like Anne of Green Gables said about her friend Diana she is my kindred spirit. I couldn't have a things and people I love page without putting her on it. To my dear friend Sandra I love you and thank God for bringing you into my life.

Fireworks

Aaliyah and I did a road trip for the 4th of July. My dearest friend in the world invited me to her son and daughter-in-law's baby shower on the 3rd so I decided to go. Besides I have been home for most of the summer bored senseless. It was time to get out of Denver or Dodge take you pick. The funny thing is I had just had a conversation with Jessica about her cousin who is a travel agent so I called her and asked her to hook me up. She did all the work and got me really great deals on a rental car and hotels. I also renewed my AAA membership so I got a trip tic and also get discounts on my rental and hotels. It was a 26 hour drive so we stopped twice. The first night we stopped in Kansas City and stayed in Nashville on the second night. We finally arrived in Goose Creek, South Carolina on Saturday about an hour before the shower started. I was so happy to see Sandra and her family. I even got to see Gena who use to do Kristina's hair when she was younger. Toya who is Jordan's wife was a sweet as she could be. You are a lucky man Jordan. I can't believe Jordan is now married and a Dad. He was around 3 or 4 years old when I met Sandra. Where did the time go? We just had a wonderful time fellowshipping with one another. I was so sad when it was time to head back home on Tuesday. I pray that we will be able to get together soon because there is nothing like family and friends. Love you!
