Former Mrs. Mississippi U. S. - Candi Johnson 1975 - 2007

I know this is a website about my family, but that last two days of my life have kinda been wrapped up in this. Candi Johnson crowned me Mrs. MS in 2002. She and I became friends during my reign and she was such and encouragement for me. She was killed in an automobile accident Monday, July 23rd. I just got back from her visitation a couple of hours ago. It just makes you want to go home and love your children and husband. I cannot imagine what her husband and two boys must be going through. Hatcher and Cody have been asking alot of questions about death (especially Hatcher, who thinks that God will drop her back down when He is done) since I told them about Candi. I have had a lot of explaining to do. Have you ever had to explain death to a 4 year old? That was an interesting conversation!!!

Please say a prayer for her family when you go to bed tonite.

My First 5K Ever!!

OMG!! I just finished my very first 5k this morning!!! I ran it in 29:29, which is under my practice times (30:37). I cannot believe it. I am really tired now and want to go to bed. I just had to tell anyone who would read this. I am slowly working my way up to a half marathon, I hope. That is my goal, anyway. Well, I am gone for now, but will try to keep up with my blogs better, I know I have not been doing so well. Bye!
