I did something I've never done before - Sunday, on the way home from church, I ran over a bird. I was talking on the phone with Alison and I noticed a bird in the middle of the road. It looked hurt, but some one was beside me, so I couldn't get over. I thought I would straddle it instead, but I guess it moved a little. I felt it's little head crack under my wheel, and as I looked in the rear view mirror feathers flew up in the air. I started sobbing immediately. I don't know why - it's just a bird, but I still took a life out of this world! I was crying so hard Alison couldn't understand what I was saying. Finally I got out that I ran over a bird. She tried to make me feel better by saying it was probably just an annoying mockingbird, but I think it was a pigeon. I'm feeling a little better about the whole thing, but I still tear up when I think about the feathers and the crack of the skull. I don't think I could ever be a hunter.

- Eric and I tied the knot on Friday, June 6, 2008. I love life as Mrs. Eric Laughlin. God has blessed me more than I can imagine. I first saw Eric at a Home Teams Bible Study. I thought he was gorgeous and had a hard time focusing on the lesson. But we didn't have a real in-depth conversation until a few months later on May 5, 2007 at a Cinco de Mayo party at the Spring Retreat. Neither of us dance, so we ended up talking all night. We went on our first date four days later and we've been together ever since. He proposed on December 19, 2007 and we were married six months later. Eric is everything I've ever prayed for and more. God has blessed me beyond words. I am so in love.

It's OK Kelly! I ran over a chipmunk once in college! Traumatic, I know. Now when ever I drive by, I still think of that little chipmunk! Probably because I didn't hit it square on and kill it. I nicked its back legs and crippled him. When I looked in the rear view, he was crawling on his front legs to the curb. He probably died later on. So, at least feel better knowing that you didn't make the bird suffer!
Stephanie, that's tragic! Poor little chipmunk; I can just picture it doing the army crawl to get to safety. We'll just say some one found it and nursed it back to health.
