Hey ya'll,

        As the title of this entry says, it's already one month. Today is one month that my Dad was killed. And tomorrow will be one month that we found out that he was killed. It's still really hard to believe that he is really gone. But it helps to know that he is in better hands right now. There is three songs on the radio that has been playing a lot. It's almost like each time one of us turns on the radio, it's playing. :) One of them is "In Better Hands" by: Natalie Grant. I think it is now my favorite song. It's just so true! Every word of it!

    Yesterday, we went to on neighboring town to get some more vegetable plants for our garden. I don't know how it came about but Mom told the lady who owned the place about what happened to Dad and when Mom was asking her how much all the plants were going to cost, she said nothing. She gave all the plants to us!!! And we had gotten over 130 different plants! And she gave them all to us! After we loaded all the plants into the van, Mom asked the lady if she would mind if we prayed with her and the lady said no, she wouldn't mind. So, we were really blessed yesterday! God has really been taking care of us. We have had two houses offered to us, rent free along with a lot of other things that would take a while to list. And now, all these vegetable plants! It's totally a God thing! :) So, we'll be working in the garden a lot more this summer. Making sure the garden stays weed free. :) Sort of like dedicating this garden in memory of Dad. :) I'm really hoping we can work in it today. :)
    Well, That's all I have to write about this time. :) I hope ya'll have a wonderfully blessed day and please make sure ya'll tell ya'll Dads that ya love him 'cuz you never know when will be the next time ya see him.

                       lots of love,

  Hey ya'll,
 
      Well, I felt it was time to do another entry. :) I want to thank everybody for ya'lls prayers and comments! My family and I have been doing ok. It's still hard. You know, we still have our moments when we just need to cry and stuff. My thing is, when something funny happens, I just want to tell Dad but then I remember that he's not here anymore. So, that's really hard. But my only comfort is, is knowing that my Dad is in Heaven right now! :-) But today was a really good day for us. Mom, Sarah and I went visit Aunt Nat. My Mom's sister. Well, she's got a huge swimming pool in her backyard, so Sarah and I were able to go swimming while we were there. We had so much fun! And we are so sunburned! :) But I think it was so worth it! Sarah and I needed that fun time! And our young cousin, Gage was there, so he came swimming with us. It was a blast! I think Mom snapped a few pictures of us in the pool. I'll have to post them soon. :-) Then, after we got out of the pool, Aunt Nat fixed us some Mac & Cheese, some pizza and some hotdogs. It was totally good! :-) Well, I know this is a really, really short entry but I need to go comment back to everybody who has left me a comment. :) I hope ya'll have a wonderfully blessed evening!

                       lots of love,

   Hey ya'll,

       Well, I figured it was time for me to type up an entry. I had started to do one last week but I never did finish it. I don't think I'll ever finish that one. All I keep thinking is, is that this is a really horrible nightmare! And that at any moment, I'll wake up and he'll walk through the door but I know he won't! My heart hurts so badly! It's like part of my heart was taken when he died! The last thing I remember him saying to me when he left Alabama to go back down to Louisiana was, "take care of your mom, alright? I Love You". And the thing is, we almost forgot to say good-bye to each other. 'Cuz, right as he and the kids were about to leave, I was helping the kids try to catch their dog, snowball. While we were doing that, Dad went and got in the van. And at the last second, I remembered and rushed around to the driver's side and kissed him good-bye and told him that I loved him and that's when he told me to take care of mom. And I will keep that promise 'til the day I die!  And guess what! Today would of been my Dad's 52nd birthday. It was hard on all of us. We went to where Dad was killed and put up a cross with his name and the date he was born and the date that he died up on a tree that was right there by the side of the road. Well, I'll try to post another entry soon. Mom needs the computer now. :) I hope ya'll have a wonderfully blessed night!

                       lots of love,

This is Celeste, Jordan's sister. My dad Elgin was in a car accident last nite (Sunday) and was killed. As most of ya'll know, he's a truck driver and he was bringing a load of stuff to the Fourchon and another pickup truck in the other lane went off the high-way and then over-compensated the other way and hit him head-on, the truck then split in half and exploded. When I called to find out where he was taken to, they said that they would not recommend us going to identify him because it was so bad. Our family is in such shock right now, we don't know what to do. My daddy was our everything and we feel so lost without him. Please, please pray for us.
