Noah Baker

Ok, I didn't know this kid, but I swear every Junior High/High School aged person in Centerville has been crying the past few days (including me). Noah was a seventh grader at Centerville Junior High School. He was born with a hole in his heart (like me, but mine healed up) and ended up having some five surgeries because of it. He had a pacemaker and while doing his paper route Monday night his body for some reason rejected it, and he had a heart attack. When he was found he was brain dead. They took him to the hospital and he was on life support until around six the next evening, when they pulled it.
At school we have been signing placques and big sheets of paper with condolences to the family and I think this has probably been the main topic of most people's conversations. I didn't know Noah personally but I hear he was a great kid and Centerville Junior High will mourn the loss of their student.
If anyone who reads this believes I have the facts wrong, you can feel free to correct me. If you would like to read his obituary the link is right here:

I know Noah has gone to a better place and that his family will see him again. Thank goodness for this wonderful gospel or I think I would probably die if this happened to me.

Happy Birthday Dad!


well, I see I'm the last person to do a blog on Dad, but certainly he's worth one more. I just wanted to take this time to say thank you for being such a wonderful dad! I love you!

Big Surprise. Not.

Well, as my past few blogs have been about Molly, it should come as no surprise that this one is. We got rid of her. And that's all I have to say.

Let's Take a Vote!

Ok, so you know how we got a dog? Anyways, she's cute and all, but like you guys probably guessed, we don't spend much time with her. Mom already wants to get rid of her because she's too busy doing her sewing projects and stuff. So I decided to take a vote. Somewhere on my blog there will be a poll thingy that you can cast your vote as to whether you think we should keep "Dear Molly" or not. I would really like your input so kindly take the 5 seconds it will take you to scroll to the poll and click on an answer. Thank you.
